March 24, 2008 at UIC Auditorium in Bajada Campus marked the 2008 Graduation Day for College Department. It was quite different compared to previous graduation rites from the past years. This time around was started with a baccalaureate thanksgiving mass presided by the Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Davao. The mass went smoothly. The homily was impacted and significant in the daily lives of the people present at that time, not just for the graduating students but as well as to the parents, faculty, administrators, friends and visitors and others.

After the mass, it was followed directly by the Graduation ceremony. Traditionally, it was started with the marching of colors and bringing of the University maze and was carried by the University Registrar.

Totally, the ceremony went smoothly still and compared to previous graduation rites, it ended up earlier as it was expected. Not to mentioned, there were fewer graduates this academic year compared to last years. Other changes were, the honor graduates were infront or frontlining their batch. Each of the honor graduates was coveted as well their other instituional awards once their name was called infront.

In our program, we had 3 Magna Cum Laudes and 1 Cum Laude. For the 3 Magna Cum Laudes, they were Katherine Dacanay of the BSIT, a recipient as well of the The Collegiate Immaculate Award, Service Award, Gold Medallion for Loyalty, program Outstanding Student Award, and Literary Award, another is Mary Grace Ignacio of the BSIT, recipient of program Performing Arts and Literary Awards, and proponent for the Best IT Project of 2008, and Yvonnie Marimon of the BSIT is another Magna Cum Laude and recipient of Program Performing Arts Award.

He also recieved the Service and Program Outstanding Student Awards, Leadership Award, Special Talent Award, Literary Award, and proponent for the Best IT Project of 2008.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada—For bettors, chances are almost nil that Mexican champion Juan Manuel Marquez will knock out Filipino challenger Manny Pacquiao in the first round of their World Boxing Council Super featherwight title bout on Saturday.

As of Friday evening, a $100 bet on such occurrence would return a hefty $4,200.

A first round knockout by Pacquiao, on the other hand, would net just $1,800 for every $100 wager.

History plays a part in the stacking of odds: Pacquiao downed Marquez three times in the opening round of their first meeting on May 8,2004 that eventually ended in a draw.

Pacquiao is listed a heavy favorite for this rematch at -235 and Marquez is at +195. Simply put a $235 bet on Pacquiao would just net $100 while a $100 wager on Marquez would give $195.

Pacquiao’s reputation as a power puncher is also evident with odds of him scoring a knockout listed at 77 percent.

Bettors think there will be a stoppage this time, with a $165 bet returning just $100.

Being the first sign of the Chinese zodiac, rats are leaders, pioneers and conquerors. They are charming, passionate, charismatic, practical and hardworking. Rat people are endowed with great leadership skills and are perhaps the most organized and systematic of the twelve signs. Intelligent and cunning at the same time, rats are highly ambitious and strong-willed people who are keen and unapologetic promoters of their own agendas, which often include money and power. They are energetic and versatile and can usually find their way around obstacles, and adapt to various environments easily. A rat’s natural charm and sharp demeanor make it an appealing friend for almost anyone, but rats are usually highly exclusive and selective when choosing friends and so often have only a few very close friends whom they trust.

Behind the smiles and charm, rats can be terribly obstinate and controlling, insisting on having things their way no matter what the cost. These people tend to have immense control of their emotions, which they may use as a tool to manipulate and exploit others, both emotionally and mentally. Rats are masters of mind games and can be very dangerous, calculative and downright cruel if the need arises. Quick-tempered and aggressive, they will not think twice about exacting revenge on those that hurt them in any way. Rats need to learn to relax sometimes, as they can be quite obsessed with detail, intolerant and strict, demanding order, obedience, and perfection.

A valuable lesson for Rats is to learn to consider others before themselves, at least sometimes, and to avoid forcing their ideas onto others. Rats are fair in their dealings and expect the same from others in return, and can be deeply affronted if they feel they have been deceived or that their trust has been abused. Sometimes they set their targets too high, whether in relation to their friends or in their career. But as the years pass, they will become more idealistic and tolerant. If they can develop their sense of self and realize it leaves room for others in their life as well, Rats can find true happiness.

According to tradition, Rats often carry heavy karma and at some point in life may face an identity crisis or some kind of feeling of guilt. Rats are said to often have to work very long and hard for everything they may earn or have in life. However, a Rat born during the day is said to have things a bit easier than those who are born at night. Traditionally, Rats born during the night may face extreme hardships and suffering throughout life. Rats in general should guard themselves against hedonism, as it may lead to self-destruction. Gambling, alcohol and drugs tend to be great temptations to Rat natives.

Traditionally, Rats should avoid Horses, but they can usually find their best friends and love interests in Monkeys, Dragons, and Oxen.

Professions include espionage, psychiatry, psychology, writing, politics, law, engineering, accounting, detective, actor, and pathology.

In Chinese astrology the zodiac of twelve animal signs represents twelve different types of personality.

In Chinese astrology the animal signs assigned by year represent what others perceive you as being or how you present yourself. It is a common misconception that the animals assigned by year are the only signs, and many western descriptions of Chinese astrology draw solely on this system. In fact, there are also animal signs assigned by month (called inner animals) and hours of the day (called secret animals).

To sum it up, while a person might appear to be a dragon because they were born in the year of the dragon, they might also be a snake internally and an ox secretively. In total, this makes for 8,640 possible combinations (five elements x 12 animals in the 60 year cycle (12 x 5 = 60) , 12 months, 12 times of day) that a person might be. These are all considered critical for the proper use of Chinese astrology.

Good day bloggers! Nice to be back!

It’s been running 3 weeks since my last post here (July 2, 2007 to be exact). Many things were took place, challenging decisions made, mood swings (as ever), work pressures and other stuffs that really rule and affect my life for the past 2-3 weeks. What an introduction?…lol…

To give you updates about my activities for those silent and mesmerizing weeks is my pleasure (no choice).

First, I have just moved in to my new abode (thanks to PAG-IBIG Fund) for always being there for me…hhehheeh…Somewhere in Catalunan Pequeño, Wellspring Highlands. It’s just a 105 sq. meter house, not that big but totally it’s mine and I can see my savings to it every now and then. I celebrated my 1 week just last sunday and anyway no celebration took place…

Second, last July 14, 2007, I together with my 3 students competed for Mindanao-wide ICT Quiz tournament held at SM Supermall, CDO. We placed 2nd runner up (Unexpected Win as always we say!) among 15 Colleges and Universities in Mindanao. Emerged as champion was Ateneo de Zamboaga University followed by MSU-IIT and UIC landed for third place. Please visit this article for the news: UIC-ITE team places 3rd in Mindanao-Wide ICT Quiz Tournament.

Third, last July 20, 2007, I was elected as PIO for Philippine Society for IT Educators in Region 11 back to back with Dean Jerry Flores as newly elected Vice President for Council of Deans in IT Education in Region 11 as well. (GO, TODO NA TO!)…
