Civil Engineering or Architecture?
I’m a 32 year old undergraduate who got an opportunity to study again. I’m currently working in a family owned construction firm, and would like to pursue a degree in Civil Engineering OR Architecture.
Now here is my question, should I take engineering OR Architecture? I know either of the two would help me be prepared when the time comes that my parents decide to hand over the company to me, as long as I am competitively able.
As far as online researching goes, between the differences among the two choices, Civil Engineer is what I should take, because it would make me be prepared of the task and obligations our company should offer. But the reason behind the question is, I do enjoy designing, sometimes revising (if the project architect in-charge would allow) the design, and trying to dream of my dream house. Being an engineer will not hamper me of designing my own dream house, that’s for sure because my father has done a couple of design and build for close families and relatives, which turned put to be quite impressive.
As a young kid, I’ve dreamed of becoming an architect as I love to draw or doodle on sketch pads and pad papers, aside of dreaming to become a lawyer, but all those flew with the wind as I didn’t take school days seriously, (now at 32, a husband, and a father of 2, soon to be three, am trying to catch on the lost opportunities).
Here’s what I understand of the subject:
- CIVIL ENGINEER: a civil engineer is responsible in fulfilling an architect’s vision of a proposed project. As experience has taught me, an architect can design a floating house, no matter what it takes, the hell he care’s, and it’s the engineer’s problem how to make the architect feel fulfilled. On the other hand, an engineer has the responsibility to inform, or worse, educate the architect if his/her dream of a floating house should stay in dream land. In real life, if a design of an architect can not be supported by the laws of physics, in terms structural integrity, then the civil engineer should inform the architect otherwise.
- ARCHITECT: architect’s, by theory, are designer’s. They dream of the biggest and grandest dream houses, buildings, or any kind of structure. Some architects don’t care if their design can be materialized, as long as they see it structured. In fairness to most architects I have worked with, they do listen to the engineer’s advise in case a design alteration should take place.
So, basically, as far as I know, Architecture and Civil Engineer courses can help me be prepared in case I need to take my fathers position as head of the company, but the big question is, should I take Architecture or Civil Engineering? I know there are a lot of things I still need to take into consideration but as of now this is all I know.
Any inputs, suggestions are most welcome. Hopefully I will be enrolling a year from now, so I have a year to decide on both. As long I get to decide based on your inputs and suggestion, maybe I can enroll next semester.
Thanks and more power to the construction industry!!!

GUSTO KONG MAGING SENADOR NG PILIPINAS
GUSTO KONG MAGING SENADOR NG PILIPINAS
ANG SARAP MAGING SENADOR!
Miriam Defensor Santiago was featured in Correspondents last week.
Maganda rin naman ang naidudulot ng pagiging prangka ni Senador Miriam Defensor-Santiago. Ayon kay Santiago , marami ang tumatakbong Senador dahil sa laki ng budget na ibinibigay sa kanila kada buwan(kasama na siya)
Lumalabas na ang P35,000 suweldo nila kada buwan ay pakitang-tao lang sa milyun-milyong budget ng bawat senador… Kada buwan ay may Fixed Monthly Budget ang bawat Senador ng humigit-kumulang P2 Milyon.
Sa opisina pa lang nila ay humigit-kumulang P500,000 ang budget nila sa Maintenance and Operating Expenses (Rental, Utilities, Supplies at Domestic Travels) at P500,000 para sa Staff at Personal expenses. Kaya para makatipid ang ibang Senador, kaunti lang ang staff na kinukuha nila. Nagtataka pa kayo kung bakit mayroong mga Ghost Employee?
Bukod diyan, may P760,000 allowance pa sila kada buwan para naman sa Foreign Travel.. At ang masakit pa nito, hindi na kailngan i-liquidate ang mga resibo ng mga gastusin ‘yan kundi Certification lang ang Requirement.
Heto pa, lahat sila ay Chairman ng mg Komite sa Senado. Ang Committee Chairman ay tumatanggap din ng budget na sinlaki ng tinatanggap ng mga Senador na humigit-kumulang P1 Milyon din! Hindi sila mawawalan ng Komite dahil 24 lang ang ating mga Senador at 37 naman ang Committee sa Senado. There’s food for everybody ‘ika nga! Lumalabas na doble ang kanilang benepesiyo at kita kapag sila ay nabiyayaan ng Committee Chairmanship.
Sa P200 milyon na Budget para sa Pork Barrel ng mga Senador bawat taon, awtomatikong may 10% na S.O.P. o kita ng Senador na P20 milyon. Ito ang porsiyento na ibinibigay ng mga kontratista sa mga Senador na nagbibigay sa kanila ng mga Infrastructure at Livelihood Project.
Bago matapos ang termino ng isang Senador, kumita na siya ng P100 milyon sa Pork Barrel pa lang. Yung ibang Senador mas gahaman, hindi lang 10% kundi 20 – 30% ang komisyon hinihingi sa mga kontratista.
Pansinin niyo na lang ang pagbabago ng buhay ng ilan sa ating mga Senador simula nang manungkulan sa puwesto. Kung dati ay simple lang ang kanilang pamumuhay ngayon ay nakatira na sila sa mga eksklusibong subdivision, maraming bahay sa Pilipinas at abroad at mahigit lima ang sasakyan.
Ngayon nagtataka pa kayo kung bakit gumagastos ng daan-daang milyong piso ang mga Senador sa kampanya para sa isang posisyon na P35,000 lang ang suweldo kada buwan? Bawing-bawi pala ang gastos kapag naupo na!
ANG SARAP MAGING SENADOR! ! !
One of the reasons why the Philippines will never, ever get off the ground…… ayon….. .. kaya talagang mahirap ng umasenso ang bayan nating Pilipinas – yung mismo nilang gobierno ninanakawan and kanilang kapuwa Filipino at hindi pa iyan….. hindi pa sila nagbabayad ng buwis sa bansa – kaya lahat ng kalyehon lubak-lubak at masyadong madumi at mababaho!!! Hindi sila nahiya sa kanilang nakikita at makapal ang pagmumukha nila. Dapat sa kanila pumunta lahat ng mahihirap. True Whistleblowers - this is what our country needs.If there are no whistleblowers the country will never ever prosper and will just sit in the sidelines watching with envy the prosperity of the other southeast asian countries – look at Vietnam now, much more progressive. ……while the rest of the new breed of filipinas are just maids – the present level of education has also deteriorated in our country – whether it be Ateneo, UP, La Salle – they could not compete anymore – they do not know how to use their education to better up their poor country, they prefer to steal and not assist in the path of prosperity for their country – they lack human factor and social conscience and no social responsibility. ….the result of a poor level of education. so wake up, you filipinos paying your taxes there, stop defending your corrupt masters and do something!!! !! we all feel so sorry for you….
Kayo po diyan nasa Middle East na mga OFW, gumising na po tayo. Panahon na.
PLEASE FORWARD TO AS MANY OF YOUR FRIENDS AND LET THE WHOLE COUNTRY KNOW THAT ELECTION IS MORE OF PUTTING AMBITIOUS PEOPLE IN POSITION WHO ARE GREEDY IN POWER, WEALTH & PRESTIGE THAN OF PUBLIC SERVICE…. ANG MASAKIT PA PERA NG BAYAN PARIN GAGAMITIN SA ELEKSYON MALUKLOK LANG SILA SA PWESTO!!!

Nostalgic Philippines
Lately I’ve been bitten by the Nostalgic bug. Here, I found a link on Facebook about the Philippines almost a century ago.
1. Old Manila
…and the Facebook priofile about Old Philippines.
…I will be updating my post as soon as find more…
MABUHAY!
“12 Little Things every Filipino can do to HELP our Country” -By Alexander L. Lacson
1. Follow traffic rules. Follow the law — The simplest of our laws. If we learn to follow them, it could be the lowest form of national discipline we can develop, totally without monetary cost, easy for us to do, it should be a good start…
2. Whenever you buy or pay for anything, always ask for an official receipt — By simply asking for ORs for all our purchases, you and I can actually help the government in increasing our tax collections every year, in solving our nation’s budget deficit, in reducing our foreign debt, in improving our international credit standing, in strengthening the value of peso.
3. Do not buy smuggled goods. Buy local, Buy Filipino — It may not be good economics to ask our people to buy 100% local products. Instead, what I suggest is for us to take a “50-50 buying attitude.” We must develop the attitude of using at least 50% of our budget to buy locally-made products and allocating the other 50% for our favorite imported choices… it could be another big push for our economy and our people. It will retain capital in our country, build our local industries, build Filipino brands, create more employment for our people, send more Filipino children to school. it will give a brighter future to our nation.
4. When you talk to others, especially foreigners, speak positively of our race and our country — We should make a conscious effort to stop this self-bashing and self-flagellation. We should stop telling “horror stories’ about ourselves to foreigners, including business associates, friends and relatives abroad. Instead, we should start focusing on the positive aspects of our national being. there are so many good things we can talk about ourselves as a people and as a nation.
It only requires a change in attitude…a change in the way we look at things…
5. Respect your traffic officer, policemen, soldier & other public servants — It is the power of respect. Respect honors. It empowers. It dignifies. It makes a person proud. It makes one feel honorable. At the same time, courtesy to others is good manners. It is etiquette. It is class and elegance. It is also kindness. It is seeing the value and dignity in the other man. It is, in fact, a mark of most profound education…
They are what they are because of what we are. They are who they are because of who we are…
6. Do not Litter. Dispose your Garbage Properly. Segregate. Recycle. Conserve. — We are part of the environment. The environment is part of us. Whichever way we look at it, the environment and we, human beings, are linked to each other in a powerful sense… Throwing our garbage properly is another simple form of national discipline for us as a people. all it needs is just a conscious effort from each one of us. Segregation allows the recycling of solid waste possible and a lot easier. Recycle and reuse instead of buying new things.
The more we buy, the more garbage we make. The more we buy, the more natural resources we consume.
7. Support your Church. — donate 1% of our monthly net earnings. doing so will empower our churches, so our churches will have more resources to help the poor and neglected members of our society. Don’t you think we will be truer to our claim of being Christians or Muslims when we support our churches or mosque?
8. During elections, do your solemn duty. — If we have bad leaders today and in the past, it is not the fault of the many who know less, but the fault of the few who know more but who do nothing or who don’t do enough… If we want to see progress in our country, we must start with the way we perform our duties as citizens. ‘
As a people, we must BE involved. We must GET involved.
9. Pay your employees well. — The bounty must always be shared… Paying our employees is one such way. A good salary can go along way. It will pay for your employee’s children’s good education… pay for vitamins and medication to make our youth healthy… pay for the reading materials to make our youth intelligent… Pay for the low-cost apartment and house and lot to provide our youth a good living environment…
A good salary to our employees will mean a good future for their children, our youth, our nation’s future…
10. Pay your taxes — Taxes are the lifeblood of our government, of our nation… We have to pay our taxes properly, because we all live in the same country. Because this Government, whether we like it or not, it is our government. Its cost is a burden we must all share. The task of building this nation is a task that we all must share.
We all must contribute to build the kind of nation we dream for ourselves. Each one of us has a role in it. Each one of us has a responsibility to it…
11. Adopt a Scholar, or Adopt a poor child — Imagine if 2M families in our country would adopt 2M poor children, either as scholars or as members of our families? That’s 2 M young Filipino’s who will be given access to a better future. In return that’s 2M Filipinos who in the future, can give us a better nation. No doubt too, this is one of the fastest ways to close the gap between the rich and poor in this country. It is one of the best paths to national progress.
It is very christian, an act of people power in its purest form…
12. Be a good parent. Teach your kids to follow the law & to love our country. — Given the present state of our nation, with so many to problems that we don’t even know where to begin to solve them, our children are always a good starting point.
They are the future. Their minds and their hearts will shape and color the future…
I guess building a nation towards progress and greatness is like that too. we have to attend to the many little things on our national life, and start setting them right. And our family, our children, is the STARTING point for this. Each child is a potential good Filipino. Each child is a potential patriot of our country…

After reading this, you’ll never look at a banana in the same way again
Bananas contain three natural sugars – sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world’s leading athletes. But energy isn’t the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Depression:
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS:
Forget the pills – eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia:
High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure:
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit’s ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power:
200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation:
High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers:
One of the quickestways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn:
Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness:
Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites:
Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves:Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Overweightand at work?
Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at wor k leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.
Ulcers:
The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control:
Many other cultures see bananas as a ‘cooling’ fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking &Tobacco Use:
Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress:
Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body’s water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
Strokes:
According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
Warts:
Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, ‘A banana a day keeps the doctor away!’
PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS
PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe…polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit !

Ten Guidelines From God
Effective Immediately, please be aware that there are changes YOU need to make in YOUR life. These changes need to be completed in order that I may fulfill My promises to you to grant you peace, joy and happiness in this life. I apologize for any inconvenience, but after all that I am doing, this seems very little to ask of you. Please, follow these 10 guidelines
1. QUIT WORRYING:
Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry. Have you forgotten that I am here to take all your burdens and carry them for you? Or do you just enjoy fretting over every little thing that comes way?
2. PUT IT ON THE LIST:
Something needs done or taken care of. Put it on the. No, not YOUR list. Put it on MY to-do-list. Let ME be the one to take care of the problem. I can’t help you until you turn it over to Me. And although My to-do-list is long, I am after all… God. I can take care of anything you put into My hands. In fact, if the truth were ever really known, I take care of a lot things for you that you never even realize.
3. TRUST ME:
Once you’ve given your burdens to Me, quit trying to take them back. Trust in Me. Have the faith that I will take care of all your needs, your problems and your trials. Problems with the kids? Put them on My list. Problem with finances? Put it on My list. Problems with your emotional roller coaster? For My sake, put it on My list. I want to help you. All you have to do is ask.
4. LEAVE IT ALONE:
Don’t wake up one morning and say, “Well, I’m feeling much stronger now, I think I can handle it from here…” Why do you think you are feeling stronger now? It’s simple. You gave Me your burdens and I’m taking care of them. I also renew your strength and cover you in my peace. Don’t you know that if I give you these problems back, you will be right back where you started? Leave them with Me and forget about them. Just let Me do my job.
5. TALK TO ME:
I want you to forget a lot of things. Forget what was making you crazy…Forget the worry and the fretting because you know I’m in control…But there’s one thing I pray you never forget. Please, don’t forget to talk to Me – OFTEN! I love YOU! I want to hear your voice. I want you to include Me in on the things going on in your life. I want to hear you talk about your friends and family. Prayer is simply you having a conversation with Me. I want to be your dearest friend.
6. HAVE FAITH:
I see a lot of things from up here that you can’t see from where you are. Have faith in Me that I know what I’m doing. Trust Me; you wouldn’t want the view from My eyes. I will continue to care for you, watch over you, and meet your needs. You only have to trust Me. Although I have a much bigger task than you, it seems as if you have so much trouble just doing your simple part. How hard can trust be?
7. SHARE:
You were taught to share when you were only two years old. When did you forget? That rule still applies. Share with those who are less fortunate than you…Share your joy with those who need encouragement. Share your laughter with those who haven’t heard any in such a long time. Share your tears with those who have forgotten how to cry. Share your faith with those who have none.
8. BE PATIENT:
I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many diverse experiences. You grow from a child to an adult, have children, change jobs many times, learn many trades, travel to so many places, meet thousands of people, and experience so much. How can you be so impatient then when it takes Me a little longer than you expect to handle something on My to-do-list? Trust in My timing, for My timing is perfect. Just because I created the entire universe in only six days, everyone thinks I should always rush, rush, rush.
9. BE KIND:
Be kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you. They may not dress like you, or talk like you, or live the same way you do, but I still love you all. Please try to get along, for My sake. I created each of you different in some way. It would be too boring if you were all identical…Please, know I love each of your differences.
10. LOVE YOURSELF:
As much as I love you, how can you not love yourself? You were created by Me for one reason only — to be loved, and to love in return…I am a God of Love. Love Me. Love your neighbors. But also love yourself. It makes My heart ache when I see you so angry with yourself when things go wrong. You are very precious to me. Don’t ever forget…
Note: I received this from a friend and I have no idea who wrote it, but I was so touched by it, that I had to share it with you. I hope that you will be blessed by it and will share it with others. Touch someone with your love. Rather than focus upon the thorns of life, smell the roses and count your blessings! “Nothing lies beyond the reach of prayer except those things outside the will of God. May your days be filled with answered prayers. God bless us all always.”

20 Signs of a Filipino Made Movie
1. Sasayaw sa likod ng puno ng buko pag nasa beach yung scene. Alternate pa yung mga ulo nila.
2. Yung kontrabida yayakap sa bida, sabay taas ng kilay at ngingisi.
3. Ang pancit, nagdadala ng malas. Uuwi ang bida na may dalang pancit sa
kanyang nanay na si Anita Linda. Tatawagin nito ang mga bata para
kumain, at kakamustahin ng bida ang pag-aaral habang kumakain ng pancit.
Biglang may titigil na sasakyan sa harap ng bahay at pauulanan ng baril
ang pamilya! Mamamatay si Anita Linda, at sisigaw ang bida ng “Inaaay!”
at mangangakong ipaghihiganti ito. Moral lesson: Ang pancit,
nakakamatay.
4. Pag may magkaribal na babae, yung mabait diretcho ang buhok at may
bangs. Yung salbahe, laging kulot.
5. Sa pinoy action movies, ang bida hindi nauubusan ng bala.
6. Sa pinoy action movies, kapag tumakbo ang bida, sa lupa lahat ang
tama ng bala ng kalaban.
7. Kapag may angry mob na pupunta sa bahaykubo ng manananggal, si Vangie Labalan ang laging lider.
8. Alam mong moment of truth na ng bida kapag sinabi na niya yung title ng pelikula.
9. Ang tawag ng kontrabida sa mga goons niya, “Mga bata.”
10. Yung nakababatang kapatid ng bida habang naglalaro ng bola,
mabibitawan at mapupunta sa gitna ng kalsada. Tapos may darating na
sasakyan, tapos itutulak siya ng bida. Yung bida naman ang nasa gita ng
kalsada. Biglang may sasakyang darating. Ang bida, ico-cross lang niya
arms niya covering his face tapos sisigaw yung kapatd ng ‘kuyaaa!’. Next
scene nasa ospital na sila.. Simula na ng drama.
11. Kapag bakbakan, hindi nasasaktan ang bida, pero umaaray siya pag
ginagamot na siya ng leading lady, at kasunod na ang love scene.
12. Kapag may sinabi ng kontrabida ang masama niyang plano sa bida, ang
sasabihin ng bida: “hayop ka!”
13. Ang bidang babae, pag katulong ang role, siguradong magiging anak ng
amo niya sa ending.
14. Ang nanay ng mayaman laging may pamaypay na pangmayaman, at ang
nanay ng mahirap laging naka duster.
15. Ang hideout ng kontrabida, parating mansion na may chicks sa pool.
16. Ang mga bida sa drama, pag nakatanggap ng masamang balita, laging
may pinto sa likod nila para puwede silang sumandal habang nagsa-slide
dahan-dahan pababa, tapos todo iyak with matching uhog.
17. Pag di nahuli ng mga goons ang bida, sasabihin ng boss sa kanila,
“Mga inutil!”
18. Laging nakakapulot ng baril na may bala ang bida kapag kinakailangan
niya.
19. Laging mas maganda ang yayang bida kesa sa kontrabidang anak ng amo
niya.
20. Pag ang ending ng movie ay song and dance number sa beach o resort,
ang huling frame, tatalon ang buong cast…sabay freeze.
