Quality Education

I graduated early. By the time I was 18, I already had a diploma. I worked for a prominent “businessman” as a writer and I was his favorite employee because he was “amused” at the fact that an 18-year-old girl is writing for him.

When I told him I wanted to try teaching college and that I am taking up my MA, he recommended me to a university. I was excited in my first day.

It was an all-girl university. I asked the students to write, in a sheet of paper, the books they have read that was not required by their school. Out of 40 students, only three wrote down something. The rest submitted their papers blank.

You gotta be f*ckin’ kiddin’ me.

They haven’t even read Little Prince, don’t push your luck with Catcher in the Rye. You’ll be delusional to even ask about To Kill a Mocking Bird.


I asked if they know who  Zues is. They said yes. I asked who is Zeus’ father, someone blurted out “not my dad”.

They thought Achilles Heel is Achilles Hill. They didn't even know why a marathon is 42 kilometers.

They don’t know the meaning behind the title “The Woman With Two Navels”.

I asked them how many senators we have, they answered 12.
 
I hope none of them breeds.

America's Best Dance Crew is back after 5 years of absence and it inspired to make a come back to my unfortunately abandoned blog. I am not a dancer. Although I can certainly move to the groove I am far from being graceful. It is, however, ABDC that inspired my appreciation of hiphop as a dance. Season 8 brings together the past champions from almost every season including Super Cr3w, Quest Crew, Elektrolytes, I Am Me, And We Are Heroes. Kinjaz is the 6th group composed of different choreographers in the industry including a Jabbawockeez, Ben Chung. From a marketing perspective, there is no better way to bring back a TV show but to pull in marketing aces they have in every season. After all, most, if not all, of these groups have developed a loyal following brought about by their success after their ABDC stint. There are a few, however, who are not as successful but that is a marketing tool in itself. This season is a restart both for ABDC and to many of the crews a

Do You Wish You Are Younger?

"Why weren't I born in the 90s?" I was with a friend for over 6 hours yesterday and we did talk about a whole lot of things but that was the thing I remember the most. She was talking about this hot guy who was in his mid-20s and she is in her mid 30s. She can't help but envy those college student who has a "chance" with the guy. Let me get something clear. This hot guy she was talking about is an international celebrity. Not that you can't dream big, look at Katie Holmes. There is also David Beckham who declared he was going to marry Posh Spice when he was still unknown. Then there's Carolyn Bessett who told her friend she will marry JFK Jr. someday.  As bad of an example as it may be, the truth is that there is still some sort of standards when it comes to dreaming big in this sense.

How I Earn $500 a Month Online Without Selling Anything

By -
I found a new way to make money online, Admailr, they put text-based ads on your newsletters and other publication. That’s how I pumped my monthly online earnings to $500 a month. Five hundred dollars a month is not much. There are others who do online marketing full time and earn more than $20,000. I’ll get there. I know I will but considering I started only this year, I’d say the $500 monthly is acceptable.  Unlike others, I am honest about the fact that it’s a lot of work. Since I quit my 8-5, one of the things I explored is making money online. I’ve tried different ways to make money. In fact, I continue to try different ways. Someday, I want to be able to drop all my clients and just rely on writing and other ways to make money. Now, I make just enough money for grocery and to afford eating out once or twice a week. Nope, not enough to pay other bills or send my sister to school, just enough for my food. Click here for New Writing Opportunities for 2013.
