I have been busy with some offline tasks lately. I haven’t really been online for two days and my blogs must be needing updates. If you have observed, the frequency of updates in my blogs decreased tremendously.

Cisco Training and Certification Could Help Improve Your Career in IT

Filed Under Technology | Leave a Comment

Careers in the field of information technology (IT) are growing in number. In terms of career development in IT, a certification from big companies like Cisco would definitely improve your chances in getting more high-paying jobs.

According to Cisco, “the widely respected IT certification programs available through Cisco Career Certifications bring valuable, measurable rewards to network professionals, their managers, and the organizations that employ them.”

They offer three levels of general IT certification: Associate, Professional, and Expert (CCIE representing the highest level of achievement).

In addition to general certifications, network professionals can enhance their core networking knowledge by achieving specialist certification in technologies such as security, IP telephony, and wireless. A very good deal in my opinion.

Further, the trainings and Cisco certification will enable you to obtain required links with other companies. My experience in the field of IT taught me a lot about being trained well. Your training will determine your success in the future. Hence, if you are concerned about career growth and success with your job, train with the best.

The benefits of training will go far beyond having ready knowledge to work or apply for a job. It will enable you to grow and influence others in the future. IT careers may be lucrative but the competition is stiff. Since the early 90’s, the boom of the computer age saw great increase in the number of enrollees in schools taking up computer science, information technology course, programming and IT-related course. If you are simply relying with your degree, then you are mistaken. It won’t guarantee you success. Training and certifications can help you succeed though so think about it.

As many of you do not know, Ilocos Norte is not affected by typhoon Frank. Typhoon Frank hit the Visayas area hard especially Romblon and Iloilo. News on GMA TV and ABS CBN confirm this report.

I was just wondering where PAGASA got its data flagging this province as Signal Number 2. It’s really funny.

Have you ever wondered if your car will get naughty like the one shown above? I certainly don’t want mine to make me wait for it to hit the road. The Chevrolet Europe does not do that. It’s smooth and won’t make the owner wait for it to get into the right mood. Funny how cars can make us feel like baby-sitters at times. lol!

Belated Happy Father’s Day!!!

In Ilocos Norte, we do not have any fancy celebration of Father’s Day.  We just greet our dads and maybe kiss them and thank them for all that they’ve done for us through the years.  It’s quite difficult to ignore our dads during this day because some families even have a little party for their dads.  Not too fancy, just a simple get-together thing between family members.

Today is Philippine Independence Day

Ilocos Norte and the whole country celebrates the 110th Independence Day of the Philippines today (June 12).  It does not signify full independence though.  It only meant that we are celebrating the 110th year of being free from the Spanish rule.  Who rules the Philippines now?  The Americans? Most probably.  History shows that this country has been abused and used by other nations one way or another.

Television and print news imply that the quality of education in the Philippines is getting worse every year. Statistics also support the growing number of students every school year but the number of classrooms remain almost the same. This means that there is a lopsided student-teacher ratio which is supposed to be 1:40 (the ideal ratio). However, this doesn’t seem to be the case.

That is correct. With over 85M in population, most Filipinos in the Philippines are deprived of the three basic needs of men: food, shelter and clothing. Well, it’s not startling. In fact, here in the Philippines, these things are common knowledge.

In the Philippines, the most serious problem Filipinos face is economic in nature.  The Philippine rice crisis is getting worse and everyone is complaining about fare hikes, oil price increases, cost of education, etc. etc.

With this in mind, many Filipinos turn to lending entities (companies, family members who are gainfully employed, friends who are affluent, among others).
