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.

I applied at a known institution that had tied up with TESDA because of some scholarships that they offered about web design or web development. I chose the former. Hopefully, I’ll be one of a hundred first batch who will get to enjoy the benefits of having free education. I’m still waiting for a call.
I was actually tired from the rush application; I needed to have my picture taken and the school was about to close. I just came from my shift which made me really exhausted as I had to travel to the main house to get my diploma and then go to the mall to submit the requirements. I had to ride a cab in both locations just so I could rest quietly during the commute.
So much for that, I hope I get accepted.

I went to the school since it’s already two weeks after the end of the semester and I needed to look at my grades so I can have them printed out because of having to submit it to HR since I was under a scholarship program.
I came from the office and when we got there, I was able to check my scores. Except for Religion (which had been a real pain in the butt), all of my grades were okay. Will be posting my grades next.
Anyway, I’m really upset that I can’t get a printed copy of my grades just because they haven’t released it yet.
I was told that I had to wait for the chair because they weren’t officially released. To think that those teachers were already given a deadline; everything should’ve been finalized already. I was able to see my grades online, it’s so easy to have somebody just print that out. However, because of process, people can’t just directly grant your request. Who am I anyway, I’m just a dot in a line.
My blood pressure was probably running high at that point because I didn’t like the way that I was passed on from one department to another just to get a copy of my grades when in reality, it’s my right to have one. It’s so lame that I have to wait for probably a month or so because of the procedure and the lack of it.
C’mmon, I’ve already paid my dues in the school, I should at least get a fine print right away. It’s upsetting how the system is; it’s always been my issue when I went back to college. I hate the way I’m being moved from one place to another, like a pawn in a chess game. Somebody’s always controlling you and you can’t do anything about it because those are the rules. It makes you wonder how the school pride themselves for having the good quality education and for being labeled as prestigious when a simple arrangement can’t even be met.
What’s the use of paying when we’re not getting the service we, students deserve? Hahay, bwisit.
