Wow, Ateneo's getting high tech. I just learned this from my colleague this morning. The Ateneo Finance Office installed a touch screen Account Information Kiosk at the Bellarmine Building of the Jacinto Campus.

Now, students can inquire their account balance and payment history from the information kiosk. To go to your account, you must enter the last five numbers of your ID Barcode. The system will also ask for your PIN. The default PIN is the complete set of numbers (excluding the last Alpha character) found in your barcode.

After you have entered the required information, you will be given the options to change your PIN or View your account.

Wow, I guess there will no longer be queues for balance inquiries at Window 7. Thanks Ateneo!

Huhuhuhu...I'm so doomed. Last night, after my attempt to turn my Naomi (my Acer Aspire 3680) on, the power button got broken. Huhuhu. Matagal na siyang may problema sa kanyang power button. Usually, kailangang mag-exert ng force para mapindot ang power button niya. Unfortunately, di na niya kinaya ang pang-aabuso ko sa power button niya. Huhuhuhuh..

Ngayon, hindi ko na siya ma-on. Dinala ko siya kanina sa Acer Service center pero wala silang available na spare power button kasi wala raw silang customer na nasisiraan ng power button. Huhuhuhhu. Now I have to go to Acer's service center to check if they have a spare power button.

Para ma-on yung laptop ko, kailangan ko pang gumait ng screw drivers. Huhuhuhuh... Effort. Nakakainis.

Last December, my friends and I celebrated our Christmas party in one of the charity homes in Davao City. The place is called Missions of Charity, an orphanage founded by the late Mother Theresa. There were a lot of kids there and what we did for them was give them gifts and we also fed them. We also spent some time playing with them and getting to know them a bit. When we left, I was filled with both happiness and sadness. These children made me happy, because in spite of their predicament, they still had hope and joy enough to celebrate. But the thing is I felt sad because I knew that the happiness we gave them for that day will only be temporary.

I felt very thankful to my grandparents after this event. Even if I don't live a privileged life, I am more than lucky to have a house to live in, a school to go to, and a family to be with. That's why I promised myself that to show my appreciation to my grandparents by taking care of them in the future.

But what if no one will take care of me when I get old? Where would I go? The idea finding a care home for elders came to me. I searched the web and found this great site which offers "homely" caring services for the old and aged. Who knows, I might end up in their institution someday.

As far as I am concerned, today is the start of my long weekend which will last up to Tuesday. I will be off tomorrow early morning to Bantayan Island in Cebu and Panglao Island in Bohol. Bantayan Island which is located off the northern Cebu main island is being dubbed as “The New Boracay” because of its powdery white sand beaches less the crowd and commercialization. While Panglao which is connected with a bridge from the main island of Bohol is I think the “Quiet Boracay.” I have pictures of Panglao which most of my friends thought that I took it from my Boracay vacation.

This would be my 2nd trip to Cebu and Bohol but it would be my 1st time in Bantayan Island. Beachcombing in January? Well, I don’t care even if the summer season starts in April. I love going to the beach during the low season anyway.

This is the 1st of my 2008 adventures and I hope that there will be many, many, many, many, many more to come… How about you? Where do you plan to go in 2008?

Pictures of my Cebu-Bohol trip will definitely follow in my next posts. Ciao!
