My husband at work

Local election is fast approaching and many aspiring candidates are already preparing their jingle, which, I guess, only happens in the Philippines. I remember how my husband earned money out of it together with selected members of the choir group in our congregation. A certain politician, who is also a common friend of our minister, approached them once asking them to make an election jingle for him. He preferred to choose them because he wants to come up with a wholesome election jingle that will leave a lasting impression among his constituents. In short span of time (as requested), the jingle was completed with only two vocals, and a multiplex. But the output was like the jingle was done with a complete set of accompaniments like drums on the background. My husband did the tricks with his little knowledge in audio and music editing.

My husband’s passion for music doesn't limit him to just playing the guitar, beating the drum or any other musical instruments. I was amazed on how he can edit background music with audio or musical effects. He can add effects like it was really real or done actually. I know most of the guys knew about it yet, my man doesn't really have a formal training on this area. He is only a sound technician in our church. But his curiosity brought him to learn beyond the ordinary. He loves exploring the net to find tips on how to improve such skills. Right now, he is also curious about bfd2 and hopes to have one so he could really maximize his potentials.

I already posted this on my other blog and I love to feature it here as well. I just can't get enough of Megan Lynne Young, my ultimate bet for Miss World 2013. She was my bet not only because she has a Filipino blood and she was representing the Philippines, she was my bet because she is beautiful inside and out.

I wasn't able to watch the Coronation because we don't have a cable TV, I just learned the news from Facebook updates. But before this day comes, I already followed her updates through Yahoo news and I learned that joining a beauty pageant was one of her ultimate dreams and indeed she doesn't fulfilled it, she really succeeded on winning it as well! Aside from winning the crown, she also won the Top Model competition during the Pre-Pageant.

I already admired her since she joined the Star Struck couple of years ago in GMA channel, her beauty was exceptional. I am also very proud how proud she is for being a half-Filipino. This Fil-Am girl is not only beautiful, she's very humble too. And because I was so busy waiting for the Miss World updates, i forgot to watch The Voice showdown. Well, so far, these are the two major events happening in the Philippines that has been trending in most social media accounts.

My sister- in- law is so excited because my brother who is working in Dammam, Saudi Arabia will be sending her a complete set of personal computer for their kids. My nephew who is in 7^th Grade right now really needs to have one because their old PC isn’t working properly anymore. Since my nephew got a lot of school requirements that needs internet research, he has to spend an hour or two in the internet café every day.

My brother told them that the package will probably be shipped within two months because express shipment that will only take a month is very expensive. I was wondering then what would happen to the package for such longer period of shipment? Anyway, if the courier company is using the appropriate packaging for shipping, then maybe items as delicate as PC will be safer. Hopefully, the company uses anti-static foam to keep the package really safe.

My hubby's first time experience in fun run is so successful and he really have fun last Sunday together with our church mates. This coming Sunday will be Milo's Annual Marathon event and my hubby is so excited to be a part of it too. He is aiming to run for 5K because the Milo Marathon's 3K is for kids only.

Joining this kind of event will be a sure fun especially for my hubby who will be joining Milo Marathon for the first time. Running is a good exercise and I know he can really benefit from it.

By the way for those who are interested, find below the race map

The Christian Church and other religious groups have long been associated with doing charity work wherever such ministry is needed. Constantine was a Christian emperor of Rome, and he is the first ruler on record as having funded the Christian Church's alms work. In the 1800s in England and the United States, the first government programs began for social work that paved the way for the work and education of social workers today. 

England was a leader in establishing laws and programs to help the poor and needy within its borders. The laws provided for low-income and less fortunate people to fit into categories that would serve them in the best way. As examples, the able-to-work poor were in a different category from the infirm and helped according to their need. 

In the United States, a growing problem was the overwhelming number of immigrants who arrived in the country and had no money or means of support. Aid programs sprang up and individuals and organizations donated time, supplies, food and medical help to the stricken people. Eventually, hospitals saw the need for some type of social workers and hired skilled nurses for the task. Massachusetts General Hospital was the first with others soon to follow that employed nurses as social workers. 

Today, social workers are often on the front lines in the fight against social injustices. They work with the poor and needy and strive to protect human rights. Those interested in a career in this field find many private and public colleges and universities that offer social work degrees. These institutions of higher learning are a positive presence in local communities, and they advertise on radio and television as well as in relevant printed material and webpages. They will sometimes list their bachelor's degree and masters degree in social work in the advertisements. Especially do they advertise social work coursework to target audiences on the internet. 

Social workers hours or benefits might be cut when the economy is struggling, and more social workers may be hired during times of economic highs. However, those in government realize that the poor need the social work programs in place. Schools offering education for careers in the social work field encourage students to enter this career path by showing the accomplishments and rewards of working for social needs. Certainly, government-funded social work and programs will continue into the foreseeable future.

This week is a fun-filled one with the celebration of our school's Intramurals with the theme: Heroes Revolution. I didn't really joined the fun because I was stuck at the office checking my student's projects. On my way out, I read this tarpaulin and I might as well share it here:)

What's the advantage for this year's Intrams was that the Gym was already available for use. Unlike on the previous years, we have to rent for almost a hundred thousand to Lim Ket Kai Atrium for the cheer dance and the MUST pageant. And oh by the way, speaking of MUST Pageant, I am so proud of the newly crowned Ms MUST, she was my student before in High school. Danica Tacbas is very intelligent girl and she truly deserves the crown!

The Intramurals will commence on September 28, 2013. Be there and have fun!
