A special tribute to the Master Rapper

"Mga kababayan ko dapat ng malaman ninyo bilib ako sa kulay ako ay Pilipino, maitim, maputi meron naman akong kayumanggi", These are some of the lyrics of his 1990 release album "YO!" from Polyeast records. During my younger days, His stint on That's Entertainment, I've watched one of his movies before he is known as the master rapper is the "Bagets 2". I've believed his craft as an artist to do nationalistic songs and R&B Songs like Cool Summer Nights.... I'm also an avid fan of eat bulaga, Being makulit on tv, A TV host, a composer and producer. He open it's doors to the younger one's on rap. Blak 9 which is one of my High School batchmates before in La Consolacion Pasig believe his craft as a rapper so I'm very grateful to him that he help him his best what he is right now. He is truly national artist upon his achievement that he shared upon his movies until televison, a badge to the walk of fame in Eastwood Libis Quezon City.

Francis Magalona

Francis Magalona died last Friday March 6, 2009 on leukemia at The Medical City Hospital 12 noon, the announcement was made by Vic Sotto one of the tv host of the longest noontime show "Eat Bulaga". His fans admired him because of his artistry, love in music, arts and photography where he won several awards during his illustrious career in showbiz. Definitely he is the best music icon that I've ever since here in Philippine Showbiz. I am an avid fan of Francis M. and "Cold Summer Nights" is one of my favorites. Simply he is the only the master rapper.

A deep struggle that I've encountered

During the midst of my on-going projects as a Freelance Web Developer and a Programmer in one of the software firms owned by the proud alumnus of UP Diliman. I'm suffering a thyroid fever/ Hyperthyroidism. The stress and problems that I've encountered is after my last deployment under Information Professional Inc. and my deployment under the subsidiary of PLDT. I know is a deep challenge for me to fight this sickness. But my strength is within my friends and my former colleagues to support me whenever that I'm going thou. My former boss is here to support all the way thou my recovery. An extended support to my full recovery which much better to fulfill my dreams in which I planned during my younger years. I don't expect any support for my family members because I don't see the sincerity on my health and career condition in which that I'm going thou.

To my friends and former colleagues that I worked before, I am not begging for the money for the expenses to my health condition but a prayers will help me to strive better in a healthier way in which I can fulfill my dreams more to the future IT professionals. A prayer will give me a full recovery and helping you to fulfill your needs for your organization. I have many grievances during my younger years with my present family. I don't want this to experience with my future family.

Why do some trying to rude my Information Technology career?

Well there are some individuals are trying to rude my IT career as of now why? Because they've been questioning my programming skills ever. It happen when I have my end-of-contract with my last project site under an IT consulting firm. Now that I am freelancer can enhance my skills further on programming.

A goal to fulfill this 2009

I have many things to catch up. Well this 2009 will be a fresh start for me. Knowing the struggles that I've encountered during the past year. The plans that I have mention is one of my priorities but I have still to earn more money because I was the doing the finance during the holiday season. Of course, I have to finish all the projects that is pending because of my in-house projects with two of the IT-Consulting firms that they've handling my profile, I'm grateful that they still consider me as an IT Consultant for their clients.

A 2008 Year-ender

Past Year was different for me. Though I have already finish two of my project sites under in an IT consulting firm here in Makati City, after one of the two project sites here in Makati City. I thought that it was an end for me and I would not able to have my third project site that could possibly my absorption for me but still I don't lost hope yet. I usually browse on a freelancer sites that I could possibly open a project for me and still I have to maintain a wordpress website that I have just up just last October of 2008. Many things happen that I've encountered stress, but I overcome with those to the newly found friends I have just recently in a new organization. but still I have to think again if they could possibly have chances to stable as a programmer in this organization or I have to look for a work whatever happens still I have a fall back ever.

Project achievements:

• VBA/Excel Macro plus SAP and SAP Webflow Administration in an IT consulting firm for One year(a possible third project site that could be my absorption).
