My Father Prayed Hard Tonight

Maybe I cannot describe my family in terms of the level of how religious we are in terms of faith or even on areas pertaining on how we follow the traditions of our religion. And I cannot even give to you certain situations where the whole family whole-heartedly prayed the rosary or attend mass without one of us frowning (when we were younger) or worse, we would not even want to do those affairs. But one thing that I can be proud to say to you, especially for this evening, is that, "my father really has prayed very hard tonight."

74th Cebu City Charter Day Celebration

The proof of a strong and unified chartered city.

This coming February 24, Thursday, Cebu City will celebrate its 74th Charter Day anniversary and honor Don Vicente Rama, a Cebuano who had the foresight to establish Cebu as a chartered city. The struggle of Don Vicente to author the bill was horrendous. The bill was met with stiff objection from politicians and nearly all sectors of the Municipality of Cebu. The reasons were basically political envy and fear of additional taxes that may be collected with a city status.

CIT University Miting de Avance

After a long wait, candidates for the next school year's Supreme Student Government have finally been known through their respective speeches during the Miting de Avance last February 21. Classes within the period were suspended to encourage the students to take part in getting to know their "would-be" representatives.

2nd Damazo Cup Competition: Over-all Champion (Grade School)

Now, I really need new posts weekly

I am so happy to know that after months, as in M-O-N-T-H-S, I finally received an e-mail confirming from Google my application for Google AdSense™.

AdSense™ is an ad serving application run by Google Inc. Website owners can enroll in this program to enable text, image, and video advertisements on their websites. These advertisements are administered by Google and generate revenue on either a per-click or per-impression basis.

I had a friend named, Mark Razonable, who introduced me to this endeavor. It also took him several months before his application was approved. Aaaaannnddd, one funny thing that I can't forget from him is his words saying, "Okay ra lagi na, it will be fine. Just keep on trying and one day it will be approved."

Haha, now I realize that it's really wonderful hearing good words from friends. And THUS, with the approval of my application, I am now entitled for a regular weekly post in this blog (Haha, I hope to that I can achieve that regular goal).

Thank you AdSense™, friends, and supporters!

Blogging is back!

It has been a long time since I posted something on this blog. The problem was I was unable to do a lot of focusing on creating a new posts mainly because our desktop pc is  mainly used by my older brother for his useless gaming and due to that, I could not concentrate since when I am the one who'd be be using the PC, he is always on staying on my back waiting for his turn... Grrr...


Anyway, welcome back bloggers and followers! www.mynameisval.blogspot.com is finally back!

Jejemon is the word of the year!

Ang Official Tambayan ng Jejemons

What is a Jejemon?

        Basically anyone with a low tolerance in correct punctuation, syntax and grammar. Jejemons are usually hated or hunted down by Jejebusters or thegrammar nazi to eradicate their grammatical ways.

      Many of my young Scouts are practicing this "Jejemon" language and I find it very disturbing, honestly. But what is really behind this "trend" that it attracts young people? Let's find out and discover...

The King of All Knots: Bowline

           Are you interested in holding ropes but have never or seldom used their complete advantage? Like, you would tie two or more ropes just for the sake of letting its ends twirl around your pole? Then if that is the case, this blog would be very helpful.

First, we must define a rope. 

A rope is a string of items attached in one line by or as if by twisting or braiding." 

.

Now, what are the parts of a rope?

How about a knot? 

A knot is a fastening made by tying together lengths of material, such as rope, in a prescribed way.

Brief History of Barangay Tinago

As of this moment, you may have discovered two local histories of some of the barangays here in Cebu City. Let me take a quote from a television show, would you agree if they say, "One is not enough, Two is too much, so let's make it one and a half?"

I say, let us make it, "not one, not two, but make it THREE." 

Here comes the history of Barangay Tinago.

Brief History of Barangay T. Padilla

          Let us continue in learning more about the history and culture of the recent venue of a fire accident which razed 220 - 250 houses and left 2,000 families homeless, but continues to rise up from its fall, Barangay T. Padilla...

Brief History of Barangay Tejero

Did you ever wonder why your local barangay was called such? 

Or who were its first inhabitants? Are you interested in the rich knowledge of the history of your community? Then, this blog is the one for you.

      Let us get to know the history of some of our local barangays around the jurisdiction of Tejero Elementary School and the Tejero Scouting Unit. As we take part in complying the requirements for the Citizenship in the Community Merit Badge.

Basic Training Course for Unit Leaders - A Scouter's first step...

          Last July 30 - August 1, 2010, I have finally attended, together with my fellow Scouter-aspirants and elementary teachers of Area VI (provinces of Consolacion – Cordova – Borbon – Camotes Island - Cordova), a training course that I once long dreamed of, and it was held at Cordova Central School, Mactan Island, Cebu.

As a former Scout and currently a “struggling” Scouter of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines of Tejero Elementary School, it is every man’s dream to finally be recognized as official Scout Leaders of a Boy Scout Troop in your local elementary school.

This Basic Training Course for Kawan Leaders (KAB Scouts), Troop Leaders (Boy Scouts) and Outfit Advisors (Senior Scouts) is the first step for you to be called as “Scoutmasters” of your own school. At this moment, we can already handle our own Scout unit for, I believe, we are already equipped with the necessary knowledge in handling such.

The training course was actually very basic. We were taught with the fundamental concepts of understanding “the boy we serve,” which includes getting to know them, their wants and their needs. And for us to fully understand that, we should:

THINK YOUNG,

FEEL YOUNG,

and ACT YOUNG…

Here comes the Tamaraw!

Ang mga cellphones ng buhay ko!

The phones that were a part of my life.
PEACE!

Do you own a cellular phone right now? Since when? And how did you earn it?

Right now, I would like to tell a little story of the list of phones that have been a part of my life. 

Join me as I take a look back and venture again through the fun and gloomy fields of my life in the wonderful cyber-world of cellular phones.

Anime AGAIN and AGAIN over!

I have always been a fan of Japanese anime just like everyone else. But at some time, I did not know where to view those videos (for free!), I entirely relied on what our local television has to offer and it hurts me the most when they could not provide a continuation of the series.


But gladly, the internet has provided us with a vast and diverse resources such as www.animecrazy.net! Enjoy the videos and be sure to check out on your favorite Anime characters!


PS: What anime do you look forward to? I, personally, tune over to the One Piece series.

My Scouting Life

     I have always been a fan of Scouting. Ever since I was on my elementary years, I never missed any school activities even when I was still a KAB and Boy Scout.

     Tejero Elementary School and the Tejero Scouting Unit, together with the High School Senior Scouts and (at that time) BSP Staffs, have showed me great inspiration in what Scouting really has to offer.

This is just the beginning!

Hello everyone! Welcome to my new blog site...

I am Reneir Val T. Perez, currently a 3rd year BS Computer Science student at the Cebu Institute of Technology - University.

I decided to write my own blog due to a seminar that I had just attended this morning. It was entitled "Blog ta Bai! University na ta!" conducted by the Computer Students' Society and the College of Computer Studies. The seminar was really fantastic and my attendance on the seminar actually does pay off.

Anyhow, this is just the beginning, I will be posting most of my recent activities in school and community-related programs.

Thank you very much for your visit and enjoy!
