KENNETH PORIO | the blog

Yes. I am doing a career shift. This time, I am going to be in the academe. In an unexpected turn of events just before I left my former workplace, I was accepted to become a computer instructor at one of the prominent internationally-acclaimed local institutions in Davao City. Honestly, I was unprepared for that event, and I am still in shock and awe. I was just reminded how the Lord promised me during one of my quiet times: "Delight in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart." (Psalm 37:4) All I did was to take delight in God's graces, obey His commands and follow His ways - and that desire came: to be able to teach students, which I yearned for in years, and to pass on my knowledge to them. I believe this is also my moment to let my talents shine even more. A new, improved, upgraded and revised version of myself is coming! I am very excited!

2017 is here! And yes, it's clear that my blog has been dormant for TWO years! Yes, I'm not kidding! Because I'm so eager to bring this "relic" back to life, I'm posting this article right now, on the 2nd day of January 2017! Yes, to prove it, I posted a webcam shot for my fans! If you were a reader of this blog, I'm saying welcome back! And I'm still alive and kicking after all these years being out there, somewhere. If you just got here, well, welcome! This is my personal blog site and this has been part of my life since 1st year high school. And truly, this became a place where I send my thoughts to everyone online. Right now I'm cleaning up the mess of this cluttered website. I'm taking off some of the widgets that has taken off the precious space and SEO juice from this site. And yeah, I'm experimenting on a brand new layout as well. So I hope you don't mind seeing random stuff floating around here. Thanks for you ...

HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's a new year, and I belive that it is high time for me to start a new chapter of blogging. As I look forward to 2016, I wanna show everyone what I do and what can I do for you. As you may know, I have been an online freelancer, and I believe this blog will be a good starting point to build my portfolio. Check out my new post in the coming days. Be excited!

Hello guys! I'm baaaaaaaaack! After a year or so of not posting anything in this blog, I am finally back to where my online presence started. Be excited as I will be frequently posting on this blog for more updates about my online career. Be excited too, as I will soon launch my own website. Take care! KENNETH

Posible ba gayod ya man intiende y man habla Chabacano, mas quien Davaoeño yo?  After many weeks following the Zamboanga crisis, and watching TV Patrol Chavacano , one of their regional news programs produced by ABS-CBN, it seems I now would be able to understand the context of what has been said in each report, simply because I begun to figure out the grammatical structure of the Spanish-based creole. I don't know, but it seems I have this sort of inherent talent to pick context clues in languages that I am not familiar about. The languages of the Philippines are sort of close to each other, plus some of their words loaned from Spanish (owing to 300 years of Spanish rule) that it just needs your keen eyes and ears to learn what any local news reporter meant. Now after a few months on exposing myself to Chavacano news reports, I begun to pick up phrases like if someone died ( "con un persona el ya muri despues..." ), there is rain ( "...quien cay aguacero ...

Hello. I am back! For the past few months I have been contemplating in going back to blogging in order for me to launch a new platform, a platform that will propel my career to greater heights. Right now, I have been doing my job as a technical assistant in a local shopping mall, but on the side doing some online work - translating documents for most part. But I want to go beyond that. Because of my previous job as a VA in a rather small SEO company, I want to re-explore those talents I missed to utilize, and give it a shot on earning on my own. I am thinking of launching a new blog that would help people encourage themselves pursuing a new venture, like getting on a new job with no previous experience, or moving to a new place, or meeting a new partner. It's about being successful without looking fake. How about that? See you very soon, guys! KENNETH

A few weeks ago, I was laid off at my first job for some reason I can't disclose. As soon as I took off, I printed my job documents in hopes of looking for the right job for me. There I found a job opening in one of the large malls here in Davao, which was looking for a Technical Assistant for their Supermarket division. I grabbed the opportunity and submitted my papers. After a few grueling days of processing additional requirements, I landed on the job. So far it has been a good experience helping the company in managing their data, in maintaining their Point of Sale systems, and troubleshooting when needed. I do hope in the months ahead this will be a better one than I got on my first employer.
