The Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific(MAAP) recently conducts an Entrance Examination in our region last September. It was held in the Notre Dame of Dadiangas University-High School Department. It was participated by a number of hopeful aspirants from different social backgrounds, and at last the results now are here.

Oh my God, I can't believe it, I definitely passed the entrance Examination. I'm not really focused on it, because I want to stay in our place for very private matters, that's why I just take the exam lightly. But ,maybe this is my destiny, the day were on a Boy Scout matters, one of my friends approach me and handed me a paper. To my surprise its the MAAP results, or as they often call it, the 2013 Class Of applicants, oh yes I truly passed the preliminary Test.
And until now I'm still on a cloud Nine, haha. We are four From our School who take the Exam but unfortunately only three of us make it. That's me, Bientot, Mr. Bryan Tunguia, and Mr. Gwenathan Antheo Lorca. Yes we are of those bruty types, if you have come to see us three walking in the lane you would probably said that we, three can block the sun from shining(OA), yes but that's true, we are all three possesses the height requirements and even ,yeah, were tall indeed.
But the unhappy part of the shimmering news is that we three need to go to Cebu to have our last Examination there, that will cost much, OMG. And the other sad part is our Christmas party(tentative) is set on December 19, and only I of the the three is scheduled on December 21, and the other two is on 22, which means I'll miss my party just to go there because the over-all trip takes days, and money.
But all in all that is indeed a very good news, even though it never crossed my mind to become a seafarer that is still okay, maybe that the career set for me.
Life is indeed surprising, who could think that I will be ending up in this kind of endeavor, but who knows you may also be astound of the road you will later take on your life. But as the old saying goes "Nasa Diyos and awa, nas tao ang gawa".
Have a nice day everyone.

Mindanao Week of Peace 2008 is on the go
The 2008 Mindanao Week of Peace (MWOP) is on the 27th of November to December 3.
It is but a sad truth that Mindanao has been engulfed with very biased views. It the view of a land of warring people. But that's is not always the case. So this time the concern people of the archipelago initiated a Week of Peace, a week of harmony, harmony to the land, rhythm to the diverse culture, respect to the tribal people, and hymn to the order of living.
Actually I just recently heard about this event the last day. It was just a fine ordinary day to me, when surprisingly I was told by one of our teacher in the school to attend a Essay Writing Contest regarding this noble event. My mood that time was not obviously with writing, it was of an ordinary cheerful school day. I have to choice but to agree, anyway it will be ,again, a learning session for me. But everything went fine when I was on the actual venue of the contest. When I arrived there, the staff give me a pin(that one in the picture), well they don't explain anything about that.
As the event goes on, I learned that it was a pre-week activity. An activity conducted before the MWOP. And just before that day, another event was conducted, it was a poster-making contest. Anyway, there are lots of activities still to be commenced. For more information about the contest click here.
The Essay Writing contest flows good. It was attended by a number of school. But I was just amaze on the staff of the event on how they persuade us to write a free-lance essay, it wasn't ordinary. The staff asks us to write a proposal essay in any language we are comfortable with, and that is about how the youth could partake sincere contributions to the peace and order situation in Mindanao. Luckily I succeed in writing a piece, surely it will not win.haha
But the core idea of the event is indeed noble. In its intention, its vision and its mission. Hope all of us will be sensitive to the peacefulness of our beloved island, the Mindanao. And I would like to quote the closing remarks of the emcee.
" The people who best travel the road are those that assures the next traveler's convenience"
May God bless us all.

A young scholar's experience on the 2nd Mindanao Bloggers Summit and E-business Week
A mouthful of short exhilirating experience!
Well that sums it up. My experience a young scholar able to attend a Mindanao-wide bloggers and seeing the E-Business week held at the tuna Capital of the Philippines was unexceptionally awesome and most of all inspiring.
The truth is I'm a bit doubtful if whim of time would allow me,neophyte as a small innocent kid, to to attend the said events.
But to cut the long story short, I am now in my couch reminiscing the unforgettable and encouraging history held at Gensan.
Blogging the Mindanao consciousness. That was exactly the core idea the event spun on. It is to graphically and gradually change the biased image the Mindanao island is seen on the north. To brandish the rich culture in our archipelago and to expose our hidden myriad of opportunities lying behind the mere Mindanao.
But there are also light things discussed in the summit. Those are small tips in blogging that made some established blogs in our country. There are also entrepreneurial hints that the summit's speaker cater to the group. There shout-outs or in other words the experience of some chosen bloggers in their field of blogging. There is also an open forum which unexpectedly leads to a discussion of crucial matters in Mindanao as a whole.
Well when it comes to the accommodation and food served in the summit, all I can say is wow! With all of those sumptuous delicacies served, especially on Sashimi Night. Well the summit never failed to leave a space in every bloggers heart wit the beauty of General Santos City.
All in all the Mindanao bloggers Summit 2 was a success, very successful really. It made me realize things that can never be taught in school(haha). It is to be an active blogger on your will but to be responsible individual on taking the mindanao to its deserved horizon, the mindanao as an archipelago of progress and peace!
The Summit will never be such without the generosity of the following sponsors:
