Pinoy Blog Machine (Beta)

Blog! I thought of some other things too. My first option was of course to skip work. But considering my suspension and with June being just around the corner, ( which also means half of our sick leaves will be converted to cash ) I decided to ditch that thought. Besides, its always hard to enjoy when you constantly have to be alert and look out for people from work, yes that happened to me once. Going back, I have no choice but to go to work and hope that today would be as 'petiks' as yesterday (because it was Memorial Day in the states therefore not much calls.) Is that too much to ask? I guess so. I've always thought that if we have a holiday at work, there's always something in store for us the next day. Sure we enjoy all the food distributed and we enjoy lounging around in the pantry, while the rest of the Americans go to parades and stuff, but that almost always translates to having a very stressful work day after. Much like today, my shift started at 7pm and after 3 hours we already have reports of 2, not 1, but 2 outages! Both regions across America are experiencing downtimes, hooray! So much for a holiday. Right now I'm using my break in order to post an entry because I don't want this blog to feel neglected. LOL. And Im hurrying up so I could leave because I noticed that the calls are becoming more and more stressful. Im kidding, if any of my supervisors are reading this, I was able to finish everything I'm supposed to do of course, I always make sure that I do, and i'm willing to render overtime if you'd like?

Anyway, I post pictures of my weekend, uhm, two weeks ago? What a late I know. We went to Manaoag, Pangasinan and heard mass there. Seriously, cus we're devoted like that. In case you didn't know, that's 6hours away from my hometown. Penny + weekend = BOOZE CHURCH???!! Yeah, yeah, shut up!

 

People sell a lot of religous items there like rosaries, prayer booklets and other holy figures. Those who buy have it blessed after the mass.

 

At the back of the church there's an area where you can light a candle and pray for something to happen, like, i dunno, world peace? That's water underneath, filled with melted candles.

Every time we go to church here, we always eat at this place not far from the church. I keep forgetting the name, but they serve bad ass sea weed salad! And Adobong Pusit, a famous dish here in the Philippines. Most people don't like it. I love it!

The Peninsula Postgraduate Health Institute is inviting applications for postgraduate study of e-health via a new online module. This module will be mainly given by synchronous interactive live webcasts to your Internet connected computer. The sessions will be 2-5pm (British Time) on 10 Wednesdays from October (i.e. 8, 15, 22, 29 Oct, 5, 12, 19, 26 Nov, 3, 10 Dec 2008). The module will be given by Professor Ray Jones, Drs Maged Kamel Boulos, and Inocencio Maramba. You can find out more about them here.

The module is at postgraduate level and aims to give students an appreciation of e-health, in particular how information and communication technologies can be used to manipulate information for both population health need assessment and to support patient groups and communities. The module is available to students taking various Masters programmes at the Peninsula Postgraduate Health Institute (PPHI) (www.pphi.ac.uk) including those taking a Masters in Public and Community Health. In total they are aiming to have 20 students on the module from a range of health and social care disciplines and from a range of countries. In addition to PPHI Masters students they are also inviting others who wish to take the module as a ‘stand alone’ module. This can either be as an assessed module (which you may be able to have credit-transferred to another Masters degree) or as a non-assessed module (certificate of attendance only) for your continuing professional development. The fees for this module are the same for all students regardless of whether they are UK or overseas: £220 assessed, and £190 for non-assessed.

Each of the ten interactive live webinars will comprise a live video presentation by the lecturer and simultaneous on-line discussion by students. Students will need a broadband Internet connected computer that plays sound. Students will also be required to carry out other study in between the webinars with activities such as (a) work/home based project work using Internet tools to explore health information needs of particular patient or public communities and the quality and relevance of information available, (b) ‘traditional’ e-learning work packages on aspects of e-health, (c) use of Geographic Information Systems through the Internet to explore issues of record linkage.
