School is Back...Back to School! (Part 2)


This is the continuation of the School is Back...Back to School (Part 1).

The Fresh New Look of the UP Min Admin Building

After several months of tiling here, repairing there and painting everywhere, the new façade of the UP Mindanao Administration Building. From the dull-looking, grayish-and-rustic looking edifice that looks like a deserted factory, the Admin Building now really is a decent building for a constituent of the prestigious National University.

I may be happy and glad that the UP Administrators had put up with this beautification of the campus. I wonder if they will do quick wonders to the Kanluran (CSM) Building in the future, too.

Classes, Schedules and Teachers

With a schedule that now includes Mondays... I can't believe if I'll be under enormous stress or not...

Here is the list of what we have started for this semester:

CMSC21 Lec: Sir Tecson gave us an overview on Programming Languages, and a quick review Variables and Data Types that we have learned in CMSC11.

CMSC21 Lab: Ma'am Van introduced us with "Examination On-Line", a on-line examination system for our use in our laboratory exercises.

CMSC57: Ma'am Van gave us our first assignment: "Why do we have to learn Discrete Mathematics?". Our class scoured the library for definite answers, but in my part, I just integrated what I have listened into from CMSC56 and with what may cover up on the subjects requiring CMSC57. Then, on the next meeting, we were taught on some fundamental counting principles.

MATH27: Ma'am Mabele gave a quick review on Inverse Functions and then taught us on Derivatives of these certain functions.

STAT1 Lec & Lab: Ma'am Metch gave us an introduction to Statistics; further information will be taught on the next meeting.

MST6: Prof. Obsioma shared some insights and a introduction to the GE course we are taking at. On this section, we share with the First Year BS ABE students.

PE2 BT: Ma'am Rosil Baldo just gave us an assignment on providing ourselves the general information on Badminton.

PHYS3 Lec: Ma'am John Paulette introduced us on Physical Quantities, Unit Conversion and Vector Addition. She did gave us an assignment: solving a certain vector addition problem. (Better review my High School Physics notes!)

What a week it was...

Watch out for more posts on this first month of my Sophomore year.

Catch my Birthday posts, too!

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
