Microsoft High School Opens


Three years ago, the city of Philadelphia came to Microsoft and asked them to design a school. What they got was a “school of the future"

The $63 million dollar facility will eventually enroll up to 750 students. A class of 170 low-income students currently fills up the freshman ranks.

Here is some interesting information about how the school functions:

  • Classes start at 9:15 a.m. and end at 4:19 p.m., simulating the typical work day.
  • Students use smart cards to register attendance, open their digital lockers and track calories they consume.
  • Students carry laptops, not books.
  • Teachers use “smart boards” that allow the user to zoom in or out, write, and link directly to the internet.
  • The library has been replaced by an interactive learning center that contains only digital information.
  • The cafeteria has been replaced with a food court complete with restaurant style seating.
  • The school will use an “education competency wheel,” based on the desirable traits Microsoft encourages among its employees.
  • Students have scheduled appointments with teachers instead of structured classes.
  • Students laptops feature software that determines whether they are picking up the material or whether they need remedial help.
  • Lessons focus heavily on current events to teach important subjects.
  • And last but not least - students must apply to college to receive a diploma.

I can't decide dammit



What would you choose?

Ok, I wanted to buy a Nintendo DS lite and also a brand new cellphone, 6630 from Nokia

A Nintendo DS lite would cost me umm:

ds lite = 7,500 + sc lite = 2,600 + passcard = 1,300 + micro sd(512mb) = 1,350

Total cost = P12,750

from Celtex Greenhills


A Nokia 6630 would cost me around P11,800

from 5th Ave. SM North

Back 2 Back Movie

Watched 2 movies today, You are the One and The Devil wears Prada


You are the one

Local film about love, using someone for your own selfish goals, love, looking for lost relatives, love, sexy outfits, love, pigs, oh did I mention love? If you are definitely in love or you like Sam Milby or Toni Gonzaga and you should see this movie.

Official Website



The Devil wears Prada

Foreign movie about fashion, jobs, how to handle bosses, balance between career and life, how to handle the pressure of work. I really can relate to this movie (no, not the fashion sense). Your boss wanted you to die and you just can't quit, pride perhaps or commitment to your profession?

Series of Events

Anything can happen in just one day!

It all started when I went to Glen (my student in YB) and hanged out, then we headed for SM North Edsa (which is a 5 minute walk). Then I saw Paul (from TA) and my mom (two separate places). Then we ate at Chowking, then my mom went home, found Vane and Pearl at Cyberzone, chatted with Vane, laughed, then Paul and I loitered on the steps of SM where I saw Ma'am Lowella Cacho (teacher and friend) We haven't seen each other for a year and here she is married TODAY. WTF! After that, Paul and I saw Jen and Jane with Domingo and we ate at Dots Donuts and I headed home!

How's that for a summary?!
