Get Ready for My Six-Pack Abs

Ayel

I DON’T have that six-pack abs yet. But not for long.

No, I’m not hallucinating or what. I’m just being positive that my efforts will come into fruition after some time. Let me tell you about the activities I’m currently hooked into.

First is cycling. If you’ve been reading my blog, you might have known that I ride my mountain bike to school. To give you an idea how far I travel everyday, I took a picture of my route using Google Earth. Here it is:

Protect Your PayPal Account from Phishers

Ayel

I DON’T want to sound like an expert online money-maker with this post. I’d just like to warn some bloggers who have PayPal accounts that online phishers are at work. And I’d like to reveal their scheme here.

I received an email with subject “Remove Limitation” from someone who disguises himself as a representative of PayPal. The email looked official. If you are not careful enough, you would believe it’s the real thing. Here are some screenshots:

I highlighted the parts that I found dubious. PayPal has always

Exam Week is Hell Week for Teachers, Too!

Ayel

YEAH, WE are cramming, too, just to comply with the requirements. You have to prepare a TOS based on your lesson plan and translate that into questions. Then you encode your questions, print it, and have it reproduced. Sounds easy but it squeezes life out of me. (Not really. Haha.) It’s just that I have to devise tricky questions for my smart students. You know, they’re not your ordinary students. It’s not an easy job, really.

But maybe, I’m just saying this because I’m still new to this setup. Once I have made my own test bank I expect that it would be a lot easier like it is now for my fellow teachers here.

Support Laarni on Pinoy Dream Academy

Ayel

THE LAST gala performance night had been very unfair on the part of Laarni, who hails from nearby Sultan Kudarat. She should not have been under probation because she did a lot better than the other scholars inside the academy.

Here are the reasons why I think it was very unfair for Laarni:

First, the song choice was biased in favor of Liezel. Liezel was made to sing the Beyonce hit, Listen, which is perfect for her because of the association that people are inclined to make between the two. Laarni, on the other hand, was made to sing an April Boy Regino classic, Di Ko Kayang Tanggapin, with a very difficult vocal arrangement.

Old Friends, Young Friends

Ayel

A WISE man once said that every person should maintain at least 3 kinds of FRIENDSHIP:

1. Friends of your own age whom you can talk over your problems, plans and goals with confidence.

2. Friends older than you to whom you can confide and be assured of wise counsel.

3. Friends younger than you whom you can share your life’s experiences.

THE TAG:

I’m tagging, Aethen, Loreen, Mark, Juler, and Richard, my friends of my own age; Sir Avel, and Sir Hecky, friends who are older than me; and Joanna and Cathy, who are younger than me.
