Quality Goals For 2010
Dec 31st
Okay that sounded very much Project Management-ish or Software Engineering-ish but all I meant to say is that I have created a list, sort of a New Year’s Resolutions list. I avoided THIS since Christmas and then hours before 2010 I made one. I told myself never to create a resolutions list because they all tend to be left behind and forgotten (for me haha). But now I have one. Anyways, it doesn’t matter. Let me call them quality goals instead.
1. Get fit, be healthy – I plan to start running next year, prolly on January’s 2nd week. Will have to check if the sports complex is okay. I’m really ‘unfit’ though the scale tells my height-weight ratio is absolutely on the healthy level. But I don’t look healthy. Tss my tummy’s bulging haha. As a computer science student I am entitled to an unhealthy lifestyle — sitting all day long in front of the laptop. It’s time to use these God-given legs. Run, Bryan, run! (I think I share a similar goal with John Carl?)
2. Project 365 – I’m going to do this before it becomes a cliche! A project undertaken by Kimmy Chau from USA and Helgaholic from the Philippines and several other cool guys around the world. It’s a take-a-photo-of-yourself-for-365-days project and I think I’d love to do this for 2010. Cool huh. Wait for my own set on Flickr, uh-huh?
My 2009 Is Amazing, 2010 Should Be Better
Dec 30th
I write this post before the new year comes to remember the good and bad things that I have done and that has happened to me this year 2009.
On a general note, 2009 is an amazing year for me. While I hear a lot whining about how terrible their 2009 is, I sit here smiling inside of how good my year came to be. A little recall: 2008 is one of the really terrible years for me. I had enemies, fall backs, insecurities and I forgot the other ones. I promised myself to fix my life come 2009. I guess I did. And that’s how I came to love 2009. Because it made me the person that left 2008 a better, stronger and wiser one.
1. February 21, 2009 is the day I officially became a member of Cebu Bloggers Society. It was in Enovlink, Jones. Mark Monta persuaded me to attend the meeting so I could officially become a member. I braced myself up and went to their meeting. At first I was reluctant to join the group as I was a very shy kid. But good thing I decided to. CBS makes up much of the reasons why I love my 2009. It’s not the events and the freebies. It’s the people that’s important to me now. They absolutely changed me for the better. Thank you CBS.
The Online Political Arena of the Philippines
Nov 29th
The 2010 elections is coming. With that, and other issues concerning the looming elections, people need to have maximum awareness on the candidates, their platforms, their track record and their personality. Because every vote counts, that is.
A lot of voters, just like me, are first time voters. Thus we have the need to “know” who they (the candidates) are and what they can do to stop our country from its eventual downfall. But how? The media can be jaded and has the tendency to do sweet talking. Some, I believe, even don’t know who’s running and who’s not. So what we need is a centralized area where everything will be about the coming elections, the presidentiables, the other candidates, and an open forum for healthy exchange of political ideas. We need an online political arena. And fortunately, we have that.
PoliticalArena.com is Philippines’ first soci0-political networking site. Basically, what it aims to do is to educate first-time voters and to promote awareness to the society about the elections to come this 2010 and the political issues that surround it. It also encourages participation in the 2010 national elections. PoliticalArena.com is in partnership with COMELEC, PPCRV and Youth Vote Philippines. It also operates under the network of 88DB.com, the Philippines’ first rich media service portal. It has online features that will highly promote voter education. To entice the people to use it, it has acqired the social media networking look with tools such as blog, chat, political forum and other multimedia portals. PoliticalArena.com is also one way for us to get up close and personal with presidential candidates and learn more about their principles, views and goals. This will in turn provide us with sufficient information about them which we can then use as basis as who to vote. Read the rest of this entry »
