Something like it's child Linksys; Something More: A Cisco Certification!

I am not as naive as you think when it comes to my work and how I plan to pursue bigger things in my career, paths taken here and there would not materialize with any corporation that I plan to work with in the future. If the proper certification does not take place and with a very reputable company, I'd probably end up in Row 4...just a few steps after the garbage bin. Now here's a little story how I somewhat changed my life... a turn around of events.

I started a couple of Modules while studying in my University was not far fetched; this was always going to be a part of my career path. I worked in the IT field for several years. Mind you, almost all the high paying jobs applied for required you nowadays and most when I was applying had to have Cisco certification

This is just under their belt. Sometimes, it even has its specialization on specific technologies such as security, IP telephony, and wireless. I am not a stranger to that of course coz since day 1 of my Linksys/Cisco work the jargons were like staple food. Data Communications even on my Electronics and Communications major subjects came into reality in this specific filed I entered in. That is... real network and computer HARDWARE.

So I went on and punished myself with 4 modules, a review and a couple of pointers from previous certification passers. Then I mustered up everything including the payment for the examinations and tried this on one generous morning. I was really really afraid because some of my former classmates in the review center (from what I heard) did not pass. That's just detrimental to the plans I'm shooting for... First things first..the step is the Routing and Switching...which I painfully repeated to myself over and over and over again... it became a norm so I hope that would purge my nervousness from taking the exams.

So ladies and gentlemen... I passed... not that high of an average but it’s just enough to pass the exams...and waited so anxiously for the ID to be mailed… Let us all praise God! A big "THANKS" to him for taking good care of me. ^_^


Yeap!, now the picture seems a little bit clearer. After working a couple of years for this IT corp., I can now plan ahead and put these dreams into reality...one by one. I am in a bit of a hurry, to climb up the corporate ladder, this particular year included so I plan to get the open positions. It may be technical, administrative or managerial in nature but my forte would probably fall still in the same category. Now the certification even made me enjoy the perks, now that it is also long known and recognized worldwide I could seize opportunities elsewhere too. You can have the same opportunities that I had; just make sure you get it from the one and the best… only CISCO! Only their Cisco certification

Chris Daughtry @ Eastwood City

Well, you are wrong if you think I saw him here @ Eastwood because I ain't a fan of his. Well yeah I've watched a couple of shows of International artists at the Araneta Coliseum but was it really worth to watch this show at my own backyard? Hmmm... for me I'll just say NO.

Not that I don't like him but his genre of music just doesn't jive with what I'm listening to these days.. Yeah you can say "WHY SHOULD I SAY THAT?"...well part of its because I don't like noisy stuff coz its like my "music to sleep".... I practically get sleepy when I hear pop rock/ heavy metal/ alternative music...

Guess what..My friend Joy just came in to the office from the concert... and as she says

"It was nice...he was great! His voice was so high even higher than David Cook...well not to compare him but I really liked him and the way he performs... not just that...his guitarist was great too....apart from the fact that he was naked and all...and half his behind was showing for all the Filipino fans to see... It was all worth it!"

Well I bet you I won't be that happy when I'm there...and I probably won't be starstruck as they would be when that happens... all in all.... they are happy so its their problem not mine! Hahahah! ^_^ I'd probably better off seeing the concert of Rick Astley... I don't even know if I spelled that guy's name right but I'll really try to get tickets for that... ^_^

THE END OF ENGLISH SUBBED NARUTO SHIPPUDEN EPISODES

This is one sad event in the lives of Filipino - non Japanese speaking fans of Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. Dattebayo is now ending all efforts to freely dub the latest episodes of the worldwide hit anime series. Here is an excerpt on the front page of dattebayo's site:

Naruto permanently dropped

2008/07/18

Attention Dattebayo fans,

Effective immediately, we are terminating our subtitling efforts on the "Naruto Shippuuden". This decision is not up for discussion and not negotiable. You can guess why this is happening, and no, there is nothing you can do about it as there will always be a******* who want to p*** in the pot so to speak.

It was a difficult decision, but it had to be done.

It's been a fun 4 years!

Update

We'd like to address a few questions and comments we've received regarding the above announcement.

Help, I'm confused! Despite the lengthy explanations linked above, I still don't understand why you're dropping Naruto Shippuuden.

Anyone who follows the anime industry knows that in bringing fansubs a wider audience, streaming sites time have made it increasingly difficult for copyright holders to ignore the existence of the groups that subtitle and distribute their property. At some point, they will stop trying to go after the sites themselves and simply cut off the problem at the source (i.e., us). To paraphrase one of the few intelligent comments we've received in regards to this matter, people who are uploading our work to streaming sites are basically putting us in harm's way without our permission. Some people have commented that uploaders are "helping" us by making us more popular, but this is the kind of "help" we don't need.

In addition, as we have stated repeatedly, we do not approve of others taking our work and using it to make a profit. Many streaming sites not only solicit donations but fill their pages with ads, even though for the most part they are simply linking to videos that were uploaded at no cost (to YouTube or other sites) and are using free hosting services. This means that they are essentially scamming viewers into thinking that donations are required to keep their "free" service running, even though they are already making a profit off advertisements. We do not spend hours of our lives subbing episodes for free so that other people can make a profit off our videos with a few clicks of their mouse.

This isn't fair! By dropping Naruto Shippuuden for the actions of a few, you're punishing the majority of people who follow your rules.

While this may be true, the fact is that the creators and licensees of Naruto Shippuuden are going to care even less than we do. If DB gets shut down permanently, it won't matter that only a few people were uploading our videos to streaming sites. There will be no more DB subbed shows, for anyone, ever again.

What about your other shows, will you be dropping those too?

If we have to.

Can you guys suggest another site for downloading Naruto Shippuuden?

Unfortunately, DB was the only English group that was up to date with Naruto Shippuuden releases. At this time, there are no other options.

How about you just stream the shows yourselves and/or start charging people to use your site?

It defies logic that we will somehow solve the problem by doing the exact things that we do not want done. Anyone writing in with either of these suggestions will be banned.

PSP! I'm in Heaven!

Well yeah, as late as you may think this is... it is TOO LATE! ^_^ But I'm still a ver happy boy!

My brother just came back from Eire and gave me a VUNDERFUL gift... It's this white clad Playstation Portable Slim and Lite! My initial reaction was... WOW! *jawdrop*


Got my unit modified so I can play ISO games, got the services of red_man22 from tipidpc.com where I usually deal with tech stuff. Now I've got about 8 gig of games and videos. I dished out about 2300 PHP for the Memory card and he even gave me freebies (screen protector and foam pouch)and am now enjoying every bit of it! You can get cheap units from him too.. at a whopping 8,300 pesos. Let me know I can give you his contact numbers if you need so! ^_^












Just today, I finished one of my favorite games after 2 days of nonstop playing.. here are shots of it! GOD OF WAR for PSP ^_^
