Six Isidoreans Passed September 2012 Teacher's Board Exam (LET)

Six (6) Isidoreans just got themselves a certification to legally teach in public schools anywhere in the country as they passed the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) held last September 30, 2012 nationwide.

Meylen Gamosa, Jeremy Fideldia, Rose Ann Agapay, Sheinna Mabilin, Jaysa Fresco and Ramos Mary Grace were among the 98,889 aspiring teachers from both elementary and secondary level who took the only certification exam for public teachers.

Gamosa, Fideldia and Agapay joins the roster of newly certified elementary teachers while Mabilin, Fresco and Ramos are now certified secondary teachers.

It's been a favorable result and just proved how these Isidoreans really did their best to make it on the coveted list since only 49.29% or 25,136 out of 50,997 elementary teachers and 43.50% or 20,834 out of 47,892  secondary teachers passed the exam.

Meanwhile here's the list of top performing students for elementary and secondary levels--All region:

Isidoreans Batch '85

Good day Isidoreans!

As much as we want to gather all of you and hopefully have a drop by on your social media profile, we'd like to call your attention to take part of this activity. Please leave a comment below this post if you're from batch 85 of San Isidro National High School-Libmanan South District.

You may see the SINHS Timeline for further information about our school including its transformation from a Barangay High School to a National High School!

Without further ado, I'll leave this graphic below to indicate that this post is dedicated for the mentioned batch. I'll also make further posts in random, similar to this but dedicated to other batch of San Isidro National High School. 

Looking forward to meeting you, Isidoreans batch 85!

Isidoreans, Start The Year Right With Sulit.com.ph!

We look at the past to recollect and ponder things that have paid for becoming who we are now and to have a clear perspective and ideas we need to step into our future. As we roll our memories backward, we tend to keep those portions of our past actions we believe should stay and keep up doing while neglect those memories that have brought us darkness or dragged us to unfortunate situation. No matter how we treasure or hate our past, there’s one thing that’s always sure: We have to live our present and face our inevitable future.

It’s another year once again and perhaps you’re done with all those recollecting memories and maybe you’re also done with your New Year’s resolution. It really feels invigorating during this early time of the year because we’re like hopefuls wanting to have some new adventures, new things to discover, new hopes and definitely new heights!

But I know what’s more that makes you happy and it is the people you have around you right now who are always there beside you, supporting you no matter what you’ve been through. Just look around and you’ll see them.

If you’re ready to completely start your New Year right then I’m glad to share to you that you’re not alone! Sulit.com.ph, the undisputed number one online advertising site in the Philippines, is very generous enough to give away Php 10,000 gift checks to five (5) lucky readers of a winning blog who will share their 10 must have Sulit items to start this New Year right! Check out the complete mechanics after the break.

In my case, if I have to start the New Year right with Sulit.com.ph, I would choose to have:

CONDO UNIT

View this ad: http://sulit.com.ph/7565942

I’m currently living in Quezon City and I wonder if where in this place I can find an affordable apartment to live. I’m surprised to see a long list of result when I searched for it on Sulit. Maybe this DMCI condominium at the border of Quezon City and San Juan is a nice place to start right. What do you think?

FURNITURE

View this ad: http://sulit.com.ph/7201806

If I have to live in a condo or apartment then for sure I will need some furniture to have a different and nice set up. I particularly love wooden furniture because aside from I love nature, it makes me feel I’m in my home province and you know like living the old times. Further, I think they’re cheaper than metallic or plastic furniture. I checked this one store here offering warehouse rates of wooden home furniture and home parts and it sounds like a good deal! 

VAN FOR RENT OR HIRE

View this ad: http://sulit.com.ph/2946945

Of course, I can’t just transfer all my stuff from our residence to my new condo (assuming)! I need some big, like really big car to transfer all the appliances there! Did you know Sulit.com.ph has also a wide array of stores offering car for rent and this one is just perfect if you’re also looking one. What I like about their service is that they have a wide range of cars for rent with driver included and they accept payment through Paypal! They even allow trips to selected provinces including Bicol so they really offer a great deal! 

CURTAINS

View this ad: http://sulit.com.ph/5203528

After setting up a nice living room with wooden furniture perhaps I can blend something with it to complete the ambiance like these Roman curtains from City House of Decor. They offer custom designs for curtains beddings and wallpapers and free installations too! More than that, they have free consultations for all your decorating needs and 10% discount on all items and referrals!

BUSINESS

View this ad: http://sulit.com.ph/5023631

One of my real dreams in life is to put up my own business in the future and I’m starting it even before this year through savings--at least little by little! And maybe you should think about it too because a good business will help you have a financially sustainable life! I want a Water Refilling Station business because aside from it’s clicked, it’s easy to establish and I think easy to manage too plus the fact that everyone drinks water! How about you? what business do you want to start this year or if not yet this year, at least, in the near future?

BUSINESS TRAINING

View this ad: http://sulit.com.ph/4318780

But prior putting up a business, I think I should consider taking some training first to be able to know the essentials, pointers and strategies in starting the business right and I think Business Coach Philippines is capable of giving what I need. I checked their Sulit store and I’ve learned they just conducted a seminar on “How to Start a Water Refilling Station Business” with discussions from water packages, ideal place to start the business, ROI and many more! Sigh! How I wish I was there during the seminar!

KIDDIE BIKE

View this ad: http://sulit.com.ph/5260833

One of the many things I want to do for myself this year is to have more time bonding with my family! I don’t have kids yet but I have one nephew who’s very close to me and he loves to bike! So I also checked if Sulit.com.ph has it in store and I wasn’t disappointed! This store offers kiddie bikes for as low as Php1750 up to Php3000. The store is just in Cubao but they also have shipping for those outlying customers.

WORKSHOP

View this ad: http://sulit.com.ph/6857909

Or maybe, for a change, I can send my nephew to Trendsetter and take some personality development and acting workshop. He’s already growing up and surprisingly he started thinking like mature and I think developing his personality will help him to build proper attitude for his age. Trendsetter isn’t just for kids but also for teens and adults and they have the whole package to bring your personality to the next level!

GADGET/MOBILE DEVICE

View this ad: http://sulit.com.ph/7101130

You know these days having a mobile device or gadget—feature phone, smartphone, tablet, camera, laptop etc. is a must! Having them are vote vital not just for communicating with your loved ones but also for monitoring them, your business and even yourself through apps and different programs. I found several good stores that sell gadgets at Sulit and I think this one is worth of a try. At least, they have a number of gadgets in store that are ready to own and very affordable. What’s more is that they even buy your used laptops if you don’t anymore need them, or have them for pawn instead!

Lastly, the 10th must-have for me to start my New Year right with Sulit.com.ph is to get a:

BODY MASSAGE

View this ad: http://sulit.com.ph/7568505

It would be so tiring to for sure when all I have in the list were happily done and to treat myself for the effort, I think I deserve some body massage from Snow Breeze! Their body scrub for 1 and a half hour at only Php 500 is I think worth of a try. Then after that, I can just relax for the rest of the day!

CONTEST MECHANICS

Sorry for that long personal share but if you want this chance to win Php10,000 Gift Checks from Sulit.com.ph, here are the mechanics:

1. Write a comment below this article (either using IntenseDebate or Facebook comment system) about your 10 must-have Sulit items. Note that all your 10 must-have should come from the Sulit.com.ph website and not from anywhere else! Maybe you could buy at least one or two of them if you won!

2. Follow this format in writing your comment:

Viola! You're done! You may share this post to your friends so they may also join the fun!

You know there's always a reason to start your New Year right and it would be happier and merrier if you share it with your loved ones!

If you wanna catch all the happenings on Sulit, follow them on their twitter account or like them on Facebook.

Introducing the new Site Comments Systems

If you're a regular visitor of this website, you've probably noticed that a new feature is being rolled out from time to time, little by little. Today, the site just completed adding two (2) new commenting systems to make you Isidoreans and other visitors feel free to leave comments in the most convenient way possible! Introducing the IntenseDebate and Facebook comments systems!

IntenseDebate Comment System

IntenseDebate is one of the most very popular commenting systems used by many websites. It's lite and very easy to use. There are just enough reasons why it's been decided to go for this commenting system. One reason is that comments can be moderated by one particular account/person. In case some are just spamming on the site, there's a way to filter them and never let them come back (be warned). Another reason is that, it is very easy to implement. Just one click to install to supported platforms such as Typad, Blogger and Wordpress and you have an ultimate comment system! Additional features include cool widgets such as the one at the Recent Comments section of this site.

Leaving a comment using IntenseDebate is easy. Simply key in your reaction/comments on the large text area then to be able to post your comment, login using your IntenseDebate, Wordpress or  OpenID account and click the Submit Comment button. If you don’t have an account in any of the mentioned platforms, you may rather input your name(required), email(required but will not be published) and your website url(if any) before clicking the submit button.

Another commenting system we just had completely and successfully rolled out is the Facebook commenting system. While it is unquestionable that IntenseDebate can offer a nice commenting system already, it doesn't have an intuitive function for 'social reach'. Since most Isidoreans are on Facebook, it is a must-do for us that we find ways to make this website reach them by becoming more social. Facebook comment plugin is a very much big of help for those who are relatively new in leaving comments on websites. 

To leave a comment via Facebook, just type your text on the large text area. The system automatically detects if you're already logged in on Facebook so if you're staying on Facebook prior to visiting a site with such plugin, you don't need to Facebook Connect. type the Comment button when done and you're comment is submitted!

With these two new commenting systems, we hope to make you be encouraged to participate in every topics and blogs that is published on this website. We hope we to see more interactivity, dynamicity and social reach. Try testing it now by leaving a comment below this article! :)

Recrafting the SINHS Logo

I've been looking for some high quality--at least not too pixelated logo of SINHS on the web, thinking someone might have uploaded it somewhere but I failed finding any. I tried scanning pages at SINHS official portal but they only have the scanned logos there. One of them was I think taken from the Multiply site I've created way back my college days--which I already abandoned because Multiply is now turned to an e-commerce site (a buy-and-sell in particular) rather than a personal/profile-based or social networking site.

Some of the SINHS scanned logos published at the about section of SINHS portal

After that little disappointment I thought I should work on vectorizing their latest logo (the one at the uppermost of the screengrab above) instead. I downloaded the three logos though because I might also consider vectorizing all of them for reference purposes—In case someone would write about 'SINHS logos through the years', the HD logos are ready. 

As you can look on this Alumni group page of SINHS, The page already uses a nice logo of the school. I aimed to work on the different one this time and I considered it a self-project that I called "The SINHS HD Logo Project!" 

That same night I downloaded the logos, I started working on the vectorization. Just for the information of everybody, vectorization is the process of rendering an image from a bitmap image to a vector image so that it is smooth, crystal clear and in other words a better image. I've learned vectorizing an image during college as our faculty required us to vectorize our scanned drawing. It was a very long process for me that time as it is both tedious and tiring but as the learning process goes on, I started appreciating its importance. Take a look at the image below for my very first vectorized image. 

I know what you’re thinking. “IT’S UGLY,” right? And maybe you couldn’t even believe that I’d draw this Princess (accept it or not but it’s a Princess) from a seatmate’s notebook instead of drawing something like a car or a building. I spent from hours to a day to polish that first vector image but if I have to do it again now, it would only take from minutes to an hour as I already learned the proper techniques of doing it. 

So then again that same night I finished rendering the image from Bitmap to Vector image. I decided to change some details on the logo such as the font—I can’t guess the exact font used in the original logo and the torch which I made a little more lifelike or convincing. 

Here’s my final output. What do you think? 

I would love to share the step by step process of doing it, just let me know in the comment section of this article if you want me to do it! :)
