I’m still waiting for my certificate from TESDA and Informatics. Last year, around October, I finished a short course for web design wherein for almost two months, I went to SM City Cebu to sit through a discussion on Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Flash. It was good cause it was free and I was able to go through the class despite being busy with a number of things.
I called Informatics in SM and they told me that I’ll just have to call them from time to time since they still don’t have the certificates available as they’re waiting for TESDA to send them the documents.
It’s sad knowing the speed of service of public institutions. I’ll just have to wait for it until it arrives which is a total bummer.

I’m at Informatics right now, waiting for my allowance from the Pangulong Gloria Scholarship for a short web design course that I took some months ago. I’m waiting for the their director who’s handling the moolah to come back so I can claim my fair share of the bargain.
It’s going to be really hectic for me this next few days knowing that it’s going to be our annual Christmas ball and that I’m part of a team who’ll take pictures of the event which is pretty cool due to the ‘all access’ pass.
Will be focusing more work on my sideline during the holidays which is good as I’ll have more time to concentrate on the tasks. Convergys Philippines, here I come.

It’s the end of my class and have I learned something? –> In a way, yes. I’m glad to have learned some basic techniques as to how I can navigate the tools used in Photoshop, Flash and Dreamweaver. Although I’m still not an expert and I haven’t really fully understood everything, I’m glad to at least have a background on the basics. I know now what the layers in Photoshop are there for.
It’s good that I was able to get this TESDA and Informatics Web Design class for about two months. To think that I never thought that I could get this short course for free; it’s even under a government scholarship! –> haha, me, under a scholarship. The world must have gone nuts.
Anyway, it’s the last day and I’m glad that this is already over as I don’t have to exert as much effort to waking up early for work so I can get out in time for school. I’ll have more time for myself and I’ll be able to focus more on the other things I wish to develop.

So this is the first day of my Web Design class at Informatics at SM City Cebu. There’s about 15 of us and I hope we get more stations to work on. I’m glad to be part of a lucky few who have been given the chance to take this course for free. I was planning to pay for it when the opportunity arrived when I inquired from the friendly staff that they have this scholarship offering. I grabbed the opportunity right away since seldom will anybody also get some allowance once the 102 hours is completed.
For now, we’re still tackling the basics. I applied for this course mainly because of the Photoshop and Dreamweaver topics that I need to brush up skills on. I really believe my future is within web design and development so hopefully this will be something I can definitely make use of.
My schedule is on Mondays to Fridays, 4pm to 7pm. Right after my office work, I’ll be heading straight to the mall to study. Then I can go home and sleep. This will be for the next couple of months. I hope I can still keep up with the schedule as right now, I’m still sick and my body is craving for some rest.

Yes, Informatics at SM City Cebu. On Monday I’ll be starting my classes for a Web Design short course at Informatics. I’m glad as this is free and I’ll even be getting some allowances. I’ve been wanting to study web design and development to learn more information and improve my skills over the internet and such.
I’m praying that this TESDA and Informatics class would be fulfilling. I’m crossing my fingers that my teachers will be well-adept even if this is just a free course. I’ll be dedicating about 102 hours of class time and juggle working in the day shift at the same time. I’m going to attend a classroom environment again. At least now I can have something to write about in this site.

Temporarily anyway.
I should change the “Small Talk” details in my sidebar but I have to find time first, like I have none.
I plan to go to the gym to get in shape, I plan to enroll in a class in TESDA or in Informatics, depending on how constricted the budget is. Anyway, it’s the company who’ll pay for my education as it’s part of their program for regular employees.
Right now, I’m just living a bum’s life; waiting for opportunities in my blog and looking for freelance jobs. It’s the right time to practice my skills in photography. I should be able to attend a club and participate to hone whatever I have. It’s nice to really do nothing for a while.
