God is Good

Dear friends,

It's another exciting week here at UP Mindanao.

This week is the Computer Science Week - our week. This week is also the week of Pre-Registration of subject for the 1st Semester of AY 2008-2009.




Here are my subjects I took for the following semester of the following year:


  • CMSC21 lec/lab (Fundamentals of Computer Programming) with John Vincent Q. Miro & Prof. Vanessa C. Ramoran
  • CMSC57 (Discrete Mathematical Structures in Computer Science II) with Prof Vanessa C. Ramoran
  • MATH27 (Analytic Geometry and Calculus II) with Mabele P. Malagamba
  • PHYS3 (General Physics I) with Prof. Nilo B. Oponda & Engr. Joseph E. Acosta
  • STAT1 (Elementary Statistics) with Metche Anne C. Casinillo
  • AH2/COMM2 (Understanding Ourselves through Academic Writing) with a NEW LECTURER
  • PE2 BT (Badminton) with Redner D. Palomaria

Wee, Sir Miro!... another UPMin ComSci Alumnus dominates our CMSC21 lecture class! In addition, Ma'am Van will cover our CMSC21 laboratory and CMSC57 lectures.

YoungMah...I mean, Ma'am Mayang's friend in the Department, Ma'am Mabele will teach us more of Calculus...(another semester of appreciating Leithold...epistaxis, 'tol! We'll miss YoungMah...(uyy...))

Well, if Renz doesn't want Engr. Acosta in PHYS3, YOU'RE WRONG!!! Get a load of him in the Laboratory...together with Prof. Oponda in the Lecture. Two Physics Professors...in one PHYS3 experience! (bwahahaha...*lightning bolts* *thunder cracks*)

Ma'am Metch will be in our STAT1 both in Lecture and in Lab. Better review my Stat lessons back in High School!

I see that AH2 (in which the lecturer of this class I don't know yet) might be dissolved. So, I might get another AH subject for this cause, I'll reserve my MSTs and SSPs for my 3rd and 4th year, if possible.

I wanna explore more in Badminton, so I signed in PE2-BT with Mr. Palomaria (in which at certain times he's absent...but he gave me a (1.5) in PE1). I'd better be ready to get those arms and legs at work.

NSTP1 is not yet my preference for the next semester, but if time - and money - can allow, I'll join. (I want the DSS (Dept. of Social Sciences) variety with Prof. Val Clamonte! (I want a decent NSTP shirt!))





In the recently-concluded Computer Science Week, led by the course-based organization of our degree program, the Society of Programmers and Refined Computer Scientists (SPaRCS), I managed to join the IT Quiz. Unfortunately, I wasn't lucky to find a partner. However, fortunately, a fellow ka-Komsai, Ed Ralph Aguzar, volunteered to join me in the contest. He knew I was in need to join the contest for the sake to satisfy the call of Sir Ryan Tecson, our CMSC11 instructor and the co-adviser of the org, to join the contest for " a certain amount of additional points". But in truth, I wanted to join in the contest because of a need due to my family's situation.

During the IT Quiz, I was suprised that the questions really required only a certain knowledge on technological advancements to win (i.e. general knowledge on computer hardware & software) . After the Quiz, I luckily went into the 1st Runner-Up, after the team of another pair of fellow Komsai, Mika Matunog and Lerr Pabrua who won as Champion and before a pair of 3rd Year BSCS studes (I can't remember their names).

After the event, I gave gratitude to Ed Ralph who supported me all the way. In the Christian fellowship in the dorm that night that I thank God for being so good to me and for giving me wonderful blessing despite the difficult situation I still have to undertake.

God Bless You and Have a Wonderful Day!


KENNETH

LOOK AT THIS!: Venta5, A Great TV Shopping Hit

Image
Look, ABC5's got something new! It's the newest - the first and the only locally-produced interactive TV shopping show, Venta5 (pronounced /vehn-tah-sing-koh/ ) It features products that cannot be found anywhere else, at the fraction of the cost. One of the best sellers of Venta5 is the Iron Mate Economizer , a Filipino invention. This cuts electric consumption produced by flat irons by over 50%. Isn't that amazing? Just put your flat iron on it and it automatically shuts off the power supply, but it preserves the heat of the iron. Another one is the Mini Spin Twin Tub Washing Machine. It is a twin tub washing machine, but it is half the size (and the price!) of regular washing machines. Great for condominiums, apartments and dormitories. Next is another Pinoy invention, the QB Stove . A very elegant but economical stove that uses charcoal as its fuel. Isn't that good? Want more of the specs of the products shown? Wanna see more amazing products? Watch Venta5, Monday-Sa

ASL Q&A: Pagsangkap

Image
Hello readers! Another ASL Q&A question from a reader named Lencius Medina Jr. : I am a one-year old christian but biologically, i am 47 year old. i am an engineer by profession but am currently busy in my walk with Christ. Would you by chance be able to share with me the open-source pdf format of Pastor Noel Akuino Jr Pagsangkap? Is it possible to have it both in English and Cebuano version? Thank you and God bless you. Thank you, Mr. Medina for asking me this question: The Cebuano version of Pagsangkap (officially published as a book) is not yet available for release since I have to get permission from Pastor Alkuino for me to produce the PDF version. I could only give you the English version since it is not yet published officially. Attached to my e-mail reply to you is a copy of "Pagsangkap" ("Equipping the Saints" is its official English title when it will be released as a book) in PDF format. I hope that he would share these wonderful lessons with

Freedom From Lies With Hatred: Contamination From Deceitful Content Against The Church And How I Dealt It With The Truth

Image
As an advocate of Media and Information Literacy (MIL), I am very much knowledgeable of the effects of having to deal with fake news, disinformation, and other forms of manipulation of media and information in our society. I am thankful that I have been connected with an organization that advocates MIL and helps educators deliver the best practices for dealing with the media and information ecosystem in the country. Maria Ressa (Source: PBS.org) In the many years of being a Christian, I was tricked on social media to believe lies about the church, and there I would like to share what just came into my mind about lies laced with anger and hatred. I remembered the documentary "A Thousand Cuts" in 2020 featuring Rappler CEO and Nobel Prize laureate Maria Ressa about what she had discovered about the problems with the information ecosystem in the Philippines and why it has become a primary target of disinformation syndicates. Ms. Ressa said in the documentary, to wit: " Face
