Owen to Complete New Castle Signing..



After playing 28 games and scoring 16 goals, english striker Michael Owen decides to call it quits in Spain. It's not a shock to everyone that the English International decided to move back to the English Premier League, because of the lack of playing time Real Madrid coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo is giving him despite the outstanding effort he is showing.

It's a sad day for me as a Madrid fan to loose one of their quality players. 28 games with 16 that's off the bench. What a waste of a good talent..

Is the NEW SIS system of the College of Saint Benilde just plain stupid?

Me and my collegues have encountered an Email of a concerned faculty member which i think was taken forgranted by the administrators of the College of Saint Benilde who implemented the new SIS system of encoding. In the Email the concerned faculty member mentioned the lack of concern for the student's encoding. Ok here's the situation, Since CSB is trimestral, we have to encode our subjects every term. Before, we used to do it manually. We had to wait in long lines for our turn to be served by the registrar. Just recently, CSB deviced a new system called "My Benilde" in which the students can encode using the computer inside and outside the school. When this was first implemented there were still bugs in the system in which the students were not able to get the subjects they wanted, but after awhile, it was fixed and everything went smootly. Just this term, CSB devised a new system which is called the SIS, and this is where goes down hill. See, this new system can only be accessed inside the school, you can access it outside the school providing you have a CSB account which is slower than a turtle and you can only view it from the Mozilla Firefox browser. From this point this is already hard to access, and to add on some more, the CSB server is always down. CSB students really had a hard time encoding, this term. CSB students really had a hard time encoding. For some people it was ok, but for majority, it was hell. The bugs of the system came out after one week of encoding and for the majority, the subjects they encoded were erased and for some there was a message saying "Encoding Invalid". Because of all this, the CSB tech support and registrar had to extend the encoding for at least a week or even more. I don't know if the extension is to make us feel that everything is under control and all that stuff, but i guess their wrong in thinking that we are stupid to not to know that there is something wrong. From our point view (me and my collegues), maybe this is one of the ways how CSB extorts from the students. Since majority of the CSB student communty had had a hard time encoding their subjects, they ended up paying a large penalty for this (the price for the penalty is Extorsion, believe me!). Anyway, from what i know, the new SIS system which supposedly costed at around 10 mil. is not yet fully functional, yet, they still opt to use it. And when we ask them what's wrong with the system, they just scratch their heads and tell us to come back in a couple of hours or worse, the next day. Now why do you think they do this?! is it to milk the students for more money or are they just plain stupid?! you decide..

Now, considering our tuition sky high, we should not experiencing this trauma of encoding. WE PAY THEM A SHITLOAD OF MONEY TO MAKE IT BETTER FOR US! INSTEAD THEY PUT IT IN THEIR POCKETS! NOW! I AM NOT TO ASSUME CORRUPTION IN MY OWN SCHOOL BUT I DO NOT SEE ANY CHANGE IN THE SYSTEM AND WORSE THE WHOLE SCHOOL! SO HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO THINK?!

WE JUST WANT TO BE HEARD!

To the Students of CSB and to the people who are concerned,

I know i'm gonna get alot of shit for this.. i don't even know why i'm doing this and to think i'm already graduating in a few months, but we need change and you know that. I am not a perfect student, actually i get into alot of shit. But if this is the only way to be heard and to make everything better for us and the people after us then i guess this is my way of making a mark in the College of Saint Benilde. We will be heard!

if anyone is interested to see the EMAIL we found just leave your email in the comment box..

PEACE...

After listening to Susan Roces rant about her late husband getting cheated on this past election, she made me sound like the best person to speak against President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. I mean, come on woman! It's 10 a.m. on a freakin' sunday morning! you think anyone is listening?! god! Anyways, last night was one of the worst nights in my life's recorded history.. I mean, the feeling of immobility because of a freakin' migrain.. Sheeet! i wasted my saturday lying down in my bed instead drinking beer and hanging with Brian and Victor somewhere.. sheesh... anyway, in two days, it will be my finals week where after that, will be my last academic term hopefully, i said hopefully because the benildean encoding system just sucks!.. it's can either make you or break you. I mean, i think 70 percent of the benildean population probably was not able to get the subjects and the schedule they wanted because of this shit so i guess, Course adjustment this term will be hell.. Shieet..

Cudos by the way to Chris Van Hoven! many thanks for the Printer and the Ink! A mark higher than a 3.0 to me is more than a bottle of Sanmig Light for you! hahaha! PEACE Out!

Mon Update
After almost two weeks of not blogging, i finally get a my chance to once again vent out online, so here's an update. So anyway, what new?! Actually, i can now say that i'm graduating in a few terms (FINALLY!!!).. Goodbye to school and hello to the real world in a few months. I don't know if i'm ready and i'm cool with all this yet but you know, i've been in college for the past five years of my life, so who am i to say that i ain't ready right?! I'm GODDAANG ready for this shit! Moreover, I just found out that i'm bound for Boracay this christmas.. geez! what a time to visit the island of sin! christmas for crying out loud! anyways, lets just look at the bright side of things, at least it Boracay right?! What else.. hmmmm.. oh yeah, i also just found out that me and mi familia are headed for Europe this summer.. that's Italy, Spain, France and i think Germany or London, who gives a shit, as long as it's in Europe.. Now, all i have to do is book for football tickets since there are still games in the Serie A and the Spanish La Liga seasons by the time we get there.. i just hope it's not too expensive.. Oh yeah.. Lastly.. Remember the chick i was ranting about 6 or 7 months back.. we'll now she's single.. surprisingly, i'm not in the "Happy Happy Joy Joy Mood". Maybe i got over her, i don't know.. or maybe, i Just got my priorities straight now... hehehe..

On football..
Real Madrid signs Robinho, Baptista, Diogo and Pablo Garcia in replacemement for Santiago Solari, Walter Samuel and Luis Figo who all went to Inter Milan.. Now that's what i call a shopping spree.. So far, the whites have been doing a great job on the pitch. I just hope they can continue being like that the whole of next season, so that they can snatch back the Title from BARCELONA!! HALA MADRID!!

On the Juventus side(yes, i'm a Juve fan now), Patrick Viera is now with the Bianconeri along with a shit load of other players. Alessio Tacchinardi is now with Villareal and Stephen Appiah in Fenerbrace. Just recently, they lost the "Berlusconi" with a 2-1 score against A.C. Milan. Patrick Viera scored on the 7th minute but Kaka and Serginho from Milan hit two right after that.. We'll the season has not started yet so we'll see..

Anyway.. it's 1:19.. i'm hitting the Sack.. i'l try and blog again soon.. PEACE!!
