Honestly, hanggang ngayon masama pa din yung loob ko. We used to have a TP4 Scholar taking up Chemical Engineering. Since alam ko kahit papano, ako yung nag-influence sa kanya na kunin yung course, I took the responsibility of personally providing him all the help that he needed. Unfortunately, bumagsak sya. Binagsak nya ang favorite subject ko. Yes, bagsak sya sa Stoichiometry.

Nakakainis, actually hindi lang sa scholar na ito ako disappointed. Pati dun sa mga anak ko. Lahat sila tunuran ko ng Stoichiometry. Pero lahat sila binagsak pa din yung subject. Nakailang takes pa bago naipasa.

Ewan ko. Actually confident ako magturo ng subject na ito. Favorite ko nga kasi to. Pareho naman ang ginagawa ko sa mga tinuruan ko. Tatlong ways of solving pa nga yung tinuturo ko eh.

Yung una kung pano sya inexplain nung prof. Parepareho kami ng Stoich Prof. Kaya sigurado ako, maayos nauturo ang subject na ito kasi tried and tested ko na yung prof na yun. Favorite Prof ko din kasi sya. Kaya alam ko kung pano nya ineexplain yung theory at yung technique sa pagsosolve ng problems.

Yung pangalawa eh yung special techniques ko in solving. Binigay ko na lahat as in step by step kung pano ko iaanalyze yung problem. Ano yung mga Rule of Thumb na naformulate ko on my own. Lahat na ibinigay ko nah.

Yung pangatlo eh yung engineering way of solving it. May mga x and y na nagaganap at gumagawa ng equations. Para in line with the engineering way of analysis.

Basta sa point of view ko, naibigay ko na lahat pero ewan ko ba bakit parang hindi pa sapat yun para makapasa sila. Para kasi sakin, ang simple simple na nung topic:

Mass in equals Mass out

It doesn't get more simple than that.

Binago na nga din yung syllabus to incorporate yung Mass Balances na ginagamit dun sa mga Unit Operations subjects in higher years for chipipay points wala pa din. Kaya isa lang talaga ang napagtanto ko. Estudyante na ang may problema dito.

Lagi kong sinasabi ang learning ay may tatlong base factors lang:

Student. Teacher. Subject Matter.
Given na parepareho naman kami ng teacher. Given na ang Subject Matter ay the pinaka-basic basic of all the basic of the basic Chemical Engineering Subjects. Kya Conclusion. Estudyante na talaga ang may problema dito.

Di ko alam kung pano sila nakasurvive without developing yung analytical skills nila. In all honesty, di mo naman kelangan magreview sa Stoich eh, basta bear in mind lang yung napag-aralan sa Analytical Chem at Gen Chem like balancing, stoichiometric factors, concentration writing, etc. Nakapasa naman sila dun. kaya di ko magets kung bakit kelangan dibdibin yung pag-aaral.

Di naman din literal na yung numbers na lumabas sa exercise ganun din lalabas sa exam. It just shows na you nee dto understand the problem first and then think of a way to solve it. Di naman yun ibibigay kung walang solution eh.

Kaya para saken invalid yung reason na Di ako nakapag-aral o kaya Di naman binigay na example to eh. In real life naman kasi wala naman sample problems na eksakto. Pwede mo lang gawing guide pero word for word the same. Wala. Sinabi ko to dati sa mga estudyante ko na scholars sa UST:

"Kung di mo kayang dalhin sa TALINO, Dalhin mo sa TIYAGA.
Kung di mo kayang dalhin sa TIYAGA, Dalhin mo sa TALINO"
And I do believe it applies here.

Here are the Candidates:








They are all soooooooooooooooo POOOOOOOOOOGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Nilike ko lahat ang pictures nila! Like nyo mga bet nyo friends here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.270500446394533.54726.270495949728316&type=1

When I was a kid, I used to fear the unknown. I am a big scaredy cat. I was afraid to be alone in a room at night, I was afraid to watch horror movies, and most of all, I was afraid of the dark.

As time passed by, I overcame these petty fears. I developed confidence, and made a name for myself with my leadership skills, although in limited areas.

But going back to the subject of fear. I learned these passed days that fearing the unknown is nothing compared to fearing an oncoming catastrophe that will change the lives of Filipinos.

I was simply blog walking that Tuesday evening when a student-leader from my alma mater posted this link. It was news article concerning the never ending issue regarding the Oil Depot in Pandacan.

Apparently, the City Council of Manila passed a new ordinance that amends a portion of Ordinance 8187. If you will remember, Ordinance 8187 was the controversial draft ordinance 7177 which Mayor Alfredo Lim signed in the Oil Depot Compound last 2009. It aims to let the Petrochemical Industries to continue their operations in the Pandacan area. But the New ordinance reclassifies the Pandacan Oil Depot Area from High Industrial to Highly Commercial/Mixed use area. Please read this section that I took from the news article:

In Section 1, Section 2 of Ordinance No. 8187 shall be amended to read as follows: “The land use where the existing industries are located, the operation of which are permitted under Section 1 hereof, are hereby classified as Industrial Zone except the area where petroleum refineries and oil depots are located, which shall be classified as High Intensity Commercial/Mixed Use Zone (C3/MXD),” the ordinance stated.

Well I won't flatter myself with the thinking that they must have read my blog article before, since they countered my ultimate counter-statement regarding the change of the Pandacan area from Industrial to Commercial Zone. I mentioned in my blog that the reclassification will not only eliminate the Oil Depots, which most people think as "toxic", but also the "non-toxic" industries in the area that provides employment to residents in the vicinity. Bear in mind that I wrote that particular blog article when I was still a 5th year Chemical Engineering Student.

I am writing this series of blog articles to express my sentiments in this move by the City Council of Manila. But before someone points out that I am just a blogger, I would like to explicitly say that I am a licensed Chemical Engineer. Inexperienced and also not part of the Petrochemical Industry, but I much more credible that a person who doesn't have education with regard to this subfield of Chemical Engineering.

I intend to create this Economic Timebomb Series as a continuation of my earlier blog post about this issue. Of course, from that blog, you can easily conclude that I am against to remove the oil Depots in Pandacan. With this series I will attempt to explain in different aspects why this move is illogical and will have catastrophic effects in our economy.

Fuel prices will go up!

That was the thought that was shouting in my mind after I read news article. In future posts, I will provide a simple course in Physics and Engineering Economy that will explain in detail why fuel prices will go up. But for now let us consider this as a fact.

I immediately contacted my Junakis Jeco who is an economist. I asked him the question: What is the effect in our economy if there would be significant increase of fuel prices? Here is his reply:

Increase (in) price of basic commodities po. Then if (it) continues to increase, it can trigger large scale inflation. Kasi fuel(,) basic need to run an economy yan, kasi connected halos lahat ng industry jan.

My initial thought was cemented when I read his message. Of course he mentioned that he will try to study the issue because he thinks that it can still be prevented. But until he tells me convincing arguments that will change my mind regarding the forthcoming onslaught, I will stick to my instincts.

I concur to Jeco's statement that fuel is connected to almost all industries. In future posts, I would try to enumerate all if not most of the industries that will be directly affected, and those in the secondary level.

The news article also mentioned that the Supreme Court released a 56-page Resolution regarding the matter. I found the resolution online and to my surprise Impeached CJ Corona handled the case. He was then Associate Justice and CJ Reynato Puno was still at the helm of the Supreme Court. Well, this is yet another instance that I am quite happy with result of the trial to impeach him. Most of my future posts will be a response to this resolution by the Supreme Court. I would try to give my counter-arguments and commentary on the issues presented in the resolution. So I suggest that you read it too. Here's the link: http://www.lawphil.net/judjuris/juri2008/feb2008/gr_156052_2008.html.

I would also try to make commentaries on the individual Civil Cases filed by those concerned that was cited by the SC Resoultion; If I will be fortunate enough to get them.

This is it for now, but I am adamant that compelling the Oil Companies to relocate their depots will create a future catastrophe. And I believe as a resident of Manila, as a Chemical Engineer, as a Filipino, it is my social duty to inform the public of this incoming onslaught that will have a huge impact in our lives.

For Chemical Engineers and future Chemical Engineers, this is where our profession meets with economics, social responsibility, and politics. I believe that it is our duty to prevent this catastrophe from happening. Be informed. Be confidently informed, then spread the word. This is not just for you, this is for our society.

The end is near. An Economic Timebomb is set to explode before PNoy steps down by 2016.

I'm scared...

I'm terrified...

tic... toc... tic... toc...

Task: Compare the Current from the Former

uhhmmmm... Pareho silang appointed ni PNoy.

hmmmp... Pareho silang lalake...

anu pa ba... Pareho silang may salamin??

ahmm,...

mmmm....

Magiging BISEXUAL ka!!!!!!
PAK!!!

EFFECT!!!

You can read the 1st part here.

Haru dyos ko! One year in the making ang sequel ng aking board exam experience! Wahahahha!!! Paxenxa na kasi for the longest time kasi wala akong time dahil nagwowork ako. Tapos ngayong bum ko, ni-indulge ko yung sarili ko sa pagsusulat ng mga maraming bagay. In short, ngayon lang ako nagkaron ng mood para isulat ito! Whahahahah!!!
Maraming salamat nga pala sa lahat ng nagbasa ng part 1. Sana nakatulong dun sa mga nagboard last year yung pinagsusulat ko.

Alright! Lesgehitowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn!!!

Okay, so sa last post ni-promise ko na ishe-share ko yung technique sa pagsasagot. Super simple lang nito. Gagawan lang natin ng procedure yung pagsasagot para time saving. katulad ng ang sinabi ko nung huli, oras lang ang kalaban mo sa exam.

Sa sobrang simple nito, para ka lang nagsisimba. Hahatiin mo lang sa Readings yung pag sasagot mo. Depende sayo kung ilan yung gusto mong hati. Pero ididiscuss ko yung procedure na ginawa ko.

Hinati ko sa apat (4) na readings yung pagsasagot ko. 1st reading. 2nd reading. 3rd reading. Homily. O diba mass na mass ang peg! Ang objective kasi natin eh mabasa mo yung lahat ng questions. Para mag-gauge mo yung amount ng time na gugugulin mo sa isang question. You have 6 hrs to answer 100 questions. Basically 3 minutes 36 seconds per question.

Explain ko naman yung apat na hati ng pagsasagot. Pinangalanan silang "Readings" kasi babasahin mo yung lahat ng questions. So yung apat naa hati means apat na beses kong naflip yung pages nung questionnaire.

Eto ang pakatandaan nyo sa exam: Kahit gano pa katagal ang igugol mong time sa isang number, one (1) point lang din yun sa bandang huli. Kaya nga ang objective natin eh masagutan mo lahat nung alam mong question para may SURE POINTS ka na. Dadagdagan mo nalang ng TENTATIVE POINTS.

1st reading. Dito, babasahin mo lang yung questions ng isang beses. Sagutan mo agad yung mga pagkabasa mo pa lang alam mo na yung sagot. Normally eto yung mga Identifications at Fill in the Blanks. Pero syempre wag mo lang i-limit dun katulad netong example:

If A = B and B = C, What is C2=AB?
a.	A	b.	B
c.	A or B	d.	None of the above

Syempre sa unang basa mo palang alam mo na kagad na C yung sagot. Panis diba? Maniniwala ba kayo kung sasabihin kong This is an actually board problem? Yes, this was a question nung nagtake ako.

IMPORTANT!!! Isang beses lang basahin ang question. Tapos pag nagfall sa mga scenarios na ito ang nangyari after mo bashain ang question, jump to the next item:
(1) Kelangan isolve ang sagot
(2) Hindi mo naintindihan yung question
(3) Hindi mo alam yung sagot
(4) Hindi ka sure sa sagot

Isang very very useful tip. Yung mga nasagutan mo sa 1st reading, ishade mo na agad sa answer card. Pwede mo silang gawing guide mamaya. Siguraduhin ang na ang isheshade ay ang tamang bilog...
>>>>>Icheck ang number sa questionnaire
>>>>>Hanapin yon sa answer card.
>>>>>I-point yung lapis sa bilog ng sagot mo na in-line sa number.
>>>>>Idouble check ulet yung number, importante to!!!
>>>>>Ishade na ang sagot.

Since puro bilog bilog lang kasi makikita mo dun sa answer card, nakakalito talaga, kaya idouble check lagi bago magshade. Ako na nagsasabi, mahirap burahin ang mongol 2. Pwamis!!!

Bilangin mo kung ilan itong nasagutan mo, lagay mo dun sa scratch paper mo kung ilan. Lagyan mo ng caption: SURE POINTS

Oh edi natapos mo na basahin yung 100 questions. Balik ka ulet sa simula.

2nd reading. Dito pwede mo na idigest mabuti yung mga questions. Babalikan mo na yung mga questions na hindi mo nasagutan. Dito masasagutan mo na yung (1) at yung ibang (2) scenarios.

Para malaman mo kung ano yung mga questions na wala pang sagot, gawin mong guide yung answer card mo. Yung mga numbers na wala pang shade sa tabi, yun na yun. Check mo yung number sa answer card, tsaka mo hanapin yung number na yun sa questionnaire

Yung mga nasagot mo din dito ishade mo na din, sigurado ka din kasi sa mga sagot mo dito. Bilangan mo ulet tapos iadd mo dun sa sure ka sa 1st reading. Nadagdagan na yung SURE POINTS mo.

End of questionnaire? Go back to start!

3rd reading. Dito na pumasok yung mga hindi mo nasagutang (2) dun sa 2nd reading tsaka yung (3) and (4) scenario questions nung 1st reading. Ganto sila sasagutan:

[1] By Epiphany - basahin lang ng basahin yung question, magugulat ka na lang bigla mo maalala yung sagot. This happened to me!

[2] By Trial and Error - Refer to the 21-gon diagonal example from Part 1. Hindi kasi ako sure, kaya madami akong ginawang trials bago ko nilagay yung sagot ko.

[3] By Back-Substitution - Parang ang unethical noh? Well, that's the downside of multiple choice. One of them is the true answer, you just need to use them all. Given na may oras ka. Dito pumapasok yung pagiging mabilis mo sa 1st and 2nd reading. Para magkaron ka ng oras gawin to.

[4] By Deduction - Mas kilala ito sa tawag na 50-50. Ang gagawin mo, tatanggalin mo na yung dalawang choice na sa tingin mo improbable. Pano mo malalaman? Instinct and Intuition. Pag andun ka na, magugulat ka sa reasoning mo. Basta alam mo, hindi pede yung mga sagot na yun. Magandang i-couple ito dun sa back-substitution. Para dalawa nalang yung i-ba-back-substitute mo.

[5] By Reading - Yes, you read it right! Pwedeng gumamit ng Handbook! At maraming information sa Handbook lalo na yung basic Process Control. DUn ko nakuha yung answers ko sa Process Control eh.

Magkakaron ka ulet ng ilang sure answers dito. Wag kalimutan idagdag yun sa SURE POINTS mo. Tapos bilangan mo din yung mga numbers na may sagot na pero hindi ka sure pero mataas ang chance na tama. Isulat mo din yun sa scratch mo with the caption: TENTATIVE POINTS.

Tandaan na mag-ingat sa pagsheshade ah!!!

Tapos na ulet? You know the Drill!!! Isa pa!!!

Homily. Eto na yung mga hindi mo talaga alam. Ginamit mo na yung 5 ways to get the answer sa last reading pero wa epek. Eto na ang chance mong magdasal at magtawag ng anghel para ilaglag sayo yung sagot galing heaven, o ng demonyo para ipukol from hell ang sagot. In other words, HULAAN MO NAH!!!! Dito na pumapasok yung Chamba factor!

GOGOGOGOGOGOOGOGO!!!

Bago ipasa ang papel. Tandaan ang SURE POINTS at TENTATIVE POINTS. Gawin ang pagkuha ng mga ito sa tatlong araw ng exam. Para makuha mo yung Theoretical Grades mo.

Tandaan ang Exam weights according sa Chemical Engineering Law IRR:
30% Chemical and Physical Principles
40% Chemical Engineering Principles
30% General Engineering Principles

At para makapasa, kelangan ang grades mo sa lahat ng exam ay greater than or equal to 50%, tapos yung average nung tatlo ay more than or equal to 70%.

i-solve ang iyong Theoretical grades - Sure Average at Tentative Average

Day 1 + Day 2 + Day 3
SP or TP	(0.3)	SP or TP	_(5)(0.4)_ 4	SP or TP	(0.3)
= SURE AVERAGE or TENTATIVE AVERAGE

Yung Sure Average yung sure na grade mo. Galing mo kung 70% na yun. Pasado ka na. Kung hindi umabot, Icheck mo ngayon sa Tentative Average. Assuming na tama lahat nung hindi mo sure pero mataas yung percentage na tama, magiging grade mo yung Tentative Grade mo. Pwede pang madagdagan yun kung magaling ka chumamba at tama yung mga hula mo. Pero generally, Lower Limit yung Sure Average, upper limit naman yung Tentative average.

Yung Day 2, 80 items lang nun samin kaya may correction factor na 5/4.

hmmmp... Sure Average ko ay 65.7. Tentative average ko ay 86.1.

Ang Grade ko ay...

In between ng dalawang yan! Whahahahahh!!!

Random tips!!!
- Icheck sa PRC kung pede ba gamitin sa Board exam ang Calculator mo. In general stringent sa Sharp brands. Ay meron nung nagtake ako hindi pinagamit ng Calcu nung 1st day! Kakaloka!
- Masterin ang Calcu na gagamitin. Stats, Calculus, solve function, equation function. Lahat na! Super helpful nya promise! Mas mabilis makapagcompute.
- Wag pag-aksayahan ng oras ang vague questions. Yung mga wala namang given sa problem pero pagdating sa choices may mga figures. Laktawan. Intayin ang announcement. Pag malapit na matapos ang time, i-treat as (3) scenario question.
- Iwasan sumagot ng letter E. Trick letter yun.
- Kumaen pag gutom. Pwedeng kumen pag nageexam. Ako nga Egg and ham clubhouse sandwich ang dala ko at Jungle Juice! Elementary ang Peg!
- wag kabahan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Kahit pinalagyan ng Bond paper yung Periodic table sa Likod ng hard cover ng Handbook 8th edition, wag nang magkabisado ng atomic weights. Pwede nyo itong makita sa Properties of Pure Substances Table sa Chapter 1.
- Mag-CR na bago magexam. Sayang sa oras kung mag-C-CR ka pa on the exam time.
- Wag nang mag-aral before the 1st day of exam and after the 1st and 2nd day. Magrelax. Matulog ng maaga. Walang idudulot ang pagcracram mo kundi kaba.
- Dumating ng maaga sa venue. Mas mawawala ang kaba mo.
- Wag nang magpapalit palit ng sagot. Nagiging sanhi yan ng pagkabagsak.
- Please read my article regarding the Legend of Uncertainty Principle: Totoo ba ang When in doubt, choose b or c'?

Finally na tapos ko din ang second part!!! woohoo!!! Goodluck Future Chemical Engineers!

Sigurado ako by now, may nakapagsabi na sayo yung technique na ginagawa nila pag multiple choice yung exam. Most likely, eto yun:

When in doubt, choose b or c.

Sinabi din to samin nung prof ko dati. Since yung sa board exam nga daw ay automated yung pagpili ng questions sa database. So automated din daw yung pag lalagay nung position nung Correct answer sa choices.

In an attempt to prove the theory na may preference yung pag-automate sa b and c na answer...
-Gumawa ako ng program na nagrarandomize ng number from 1 to 4. 1 represents a, 2 for b, 3 for c and 4 for d. Simulating yung correct letter of answer.
-I made it to simulate the board exam na gumagawa ng 100 questions.
-ni-simulate ko din na gumawa ng 50 exams yung program.
-Kinuha ko yung Mean, Median, at Relative Frequency Distribution per batch.
-1 batch = 1 run of the program
-I took 5 batches.

Eto ang results...

Data

so ayan sa taas yung 5 batches ng data

Mean and Median

So as you can see, sa limang batches ng 50 exams, magkakalapit lang yung mean at median nung apat na sagot. Ibig sabihin walang preference sa b at c na sagot. halos pantay pantay lang yung incidence nung mga sagot.

Relative Frequency Distribution

In general, pinakacommon yung 21-25 number range for all choices. Pumapangalawa yung 26-30. Or baliktad dun sa iba. Pero pwede natin maconclude na mataas yung frequency from the 21-30 range. Population mean is 25.5, so safe assumption na 25 questions na ang sagot ay isa sa choices out of 100 questions. Tig te-25 ang a, b, c at d.

Conclusion
Walang katotohanan yung preference sa multiple choice na b and c sa board exam. Of course, ako kasi yung nagsulat ng program na ito at wala akong nilagay na segment na magkakaron ng preference sa choices.

Meron akong theory kung totoo man yung preference sa b and c. Pag hindi automated or manual yung pag sulat nung choices, ang mindset, itago sya sa gitna, which are b and c.

Eto yung human factor in making the exam. Akala lang ng tao random nya ginagawa pero subconsciously, may pattern syang nagagawa or yung mindset nga sa gitna ilagay.

Kaya kung totoo yung preference ng b and c sa board exam, in my opinion, hindi automated yung pag jumble nung choices. Malamang, random lang yung questions. Pero kasamang ini-input yung choices dun sa database. Kaya pag napili nung computer yung question, kung pano ininput yung choices sa database, ganun na sya i-a-output.

Isa lang ang paraan para maconfirm natin to. Kung ipapakita yung source code nung Question Randomizer na ginagamit for the board exam, matetrace kung meron ngang preference segment. Pero asa naman na ipapakita saken yun!

I would like to congratulate everyone who passed the recent June 2012 Nursing Licensure Exams! You deserve it whoever you are or wherever school you're from. Ang galing nyo!

I'm anticipating a full sized banner on my alma mater's Medicine Building Facade congratulating the Top Students of the Nursing Board, as well as the large chunk percentage of passers in the said exam.

Honestly, naiingit ako sa kanila...

Buti pa sila, proud ang College nila na pumasa sila...

Call me bitter, but its true. Naiinggit ako kasi nirerecognize ng college nila na pumasa sila. While I, together with my co-passers in the April 2011 Chemical Engineering Licensure examination, didn't even get a greeting from our own Faculty; Moreso from our own department.

I understand that the May 2011 Exams results were far from ideal. We failed to occupy any top spot and also only had 55 passing percentage. Still, it would have been fulfilling to be acknowledged nonetheless.

Buti nga yung November 2010 Passers, narecognize. They were called upon to provide testimonials on how they passed the board, which is a continuous project of the Chemical Engineering Society. I was there of course, to support those who will give their testimonials: Engr. Granada, Engr. Villanueva, Engr. Ramos, Engr. Abaricia, and of course, Engr. Dayao and to congratulate those who passed the board who were present.

I don't grasp the idea why there is stigma attached in passing the board in April. They say that the April exam is easier as compared to the November exam. But does this heresay constitute their right to disregard our accomplishments?

A person I idolize passed the April 2009 Chemical Engineering Licensure Examination. She brought back the bacon by bagging the the 9th highest score. But come School Year 2009-2010, virtually no one in the Faculty know that fact except those who are part of our department.

Nakakatawa! She's a member of our Faculty, yet she wasn't even recognized by mere mention of her name at the start of the first term. It was only when she was asked to take part in the testimonial that she was given the limelight. I know for a fact that our department didn't procure expenses for her congratulatory banner. I know who shelved money for it. I know because I was the one who edited the banner. (yes it's crappy I know!)

This is the first time that I would express the following statements into words so bear with me. These are my personal preparation from the the time I took my board.

When I took my board, I targeted the top. I wanted to claim the top spot for myself. That was my inspiration to study. Despite my busy schedule two months prior to the exam, I was still eager to read and review most of the topics. Please read this part for all the things that I read. I attended the testimonial so I can garner tips from the passers. I research on the fields about the members of the Board of Chemical Engineering's careers so I will have idea on what ChE technology they will focus on (epic fail). I enrolled in the refresher course despite the busy schedule; All in preparation to the top. But the exam had proven itself to be difficult (and out of this world) and as you know, I failed to take the spot, or any spots nine ranks below it. But I pride myself that at the end of the day, I was fortunate enough to pass the exam.

Putting my personal bitterness aside, I feel that acknowledging all of the passers would have been very meaningful. Some of us failed the earlier exam and retook it that April. It took them double the pressure, double the paranoia, and double the payment to pass the exam. Acknowledging them by simply saying that single word, "Congratulations", was enough to establish that sense of pride that despite of the earlier failure, they had come full circle and had reached the end of the 2nd hurdle of the Chemical Engineering journey. (the 1st one being, graduating) It is especially fulfilling if it comes from your mentors.

I only had two professors who conveyed their congratulatory greetings that summer of 2011. My thesis adviser, and my perennial Lab Professor (She was my 3 time lab teacher during the last 2 years). It is inexplicable how much those words mean to me. I am still very grateful for their words of encouragement. It is certainly one of the reasons why I want to strive harder for my career, because I believe that is the only way that I can repay them for their faith in my ability.

I know that our department is the only obstacle for our Faculty's goal to be a Center for Excellence. It is because of our department's constant failure to produce satisfactory passing percentage in the Licensure exams that hinder its realization. I recognize the change in curriculum as one of the steps to improve the current quality of education that we have in ChE in the University; But recent events made me realize that this goal of Excellence is far from reach.

During my interview for the ES instructor post, I was asked by a member of the Panel. You can read the question and my answer in this post. (this particular question inspired the question about the training camp instructor in the post) This panel member was a former professor. I really admire this professor because of his intellect; I know I'm not the only one since I share this admiration with one of my former collegues from the Central Student Council. This is why, I became more dumbfounded by his set of words:

You are there to teach, not to fail to students.

That's not in verbatim though. But that's the idea.

Ha! I'd like to hear him say that to all the Chairpersons of the different professional boards in PRC! And if he's going to say that those people are examiners and not teachers; He's barking at the wrong tree!

Part of being a teacher is performing the role of an examiner. Hence, we have major exams. If teachers are required to give passing grades to all the students regardless of their performance in these exams, why are those exams administered in the first place?

Wala. Panggatong. Pang-scratch. Pambenta, singkwenta isang papel sa junkshop.

I think that more than the revamp in the ChE Curriculum, the department should look into the reboot of teaching styles and teaching principles. Take note, these are two different things. As Principles are the objective of teaching while styles are methods of teaching. As a former student, I would like to the objective to be learning and confidence building, while the style is fun and innovative, yet brain-teasing (not brain crushing).

More importantly, they should start by recognizing their board passers. It would give a confidence boost to the passers and the next takers alike, not to mention, that sense of pride that we are graduates of...

The Department...

The Faculty...

The University...

which for the record, My pride of being a graduate from these is already at the utmost pinnacle of dissipation.

Wala akong hilig sa bata. Hindi kasi ako pedophile. Pero meron akong kilalang mahilig mang-over power ng bata. Wahahhaah! Nakakatakot pa teacher sya sa high school! Iniintay ko nalang na may molestyahin sya papatanggal ko lisensya nya. ha! Hanggang ngayon hindi ko pa din naisip na i fell in love to no angle but a closeted pedophiliac who is not comfortable with himself. hmp!

Naopen ko yung pagkapedophile kasi I feel guilty dahil I find it pleasurable to look at him...

I just find him so sexy. Dagdag pa lalo yung mga battle scars nya. Mas lalo pa syang sumexy sa paningin ko nung nasunog na yung half of his body. (hindi ko sasabihin kung pano nangyari yun, spoiler eh) He's sooo manly sa paningin ko nung oras na yun. Well, mabuhay ka naman ba nung time nung Mesopotamia, malamang matanda na talaga sya. Whahahahha!!!


He's soooooooooo astig!
