My sister- in- law is so excited because my brother who is working in Dammam, Saudi Arabia will be sending her a complete set of personal computer for their kids. My nephew who is in 7^th Grade right now really needs to have one because their old PC isn’t working properly anymore. Since my nephew got a lot of school requirements that needs internet research, he has to spend an hour or two in the internet café every day.

My brother told them that the package will probably be shipped within two months because express shipment that will only take a month is very expensive. I was wondering then what would happen to the package for such longer period of shipment? Anyway, if the courier company is using the appropriate packaging for shipping, then maybe items as delicate as PC will be safer. Hopefully, the company uses anti-static foam to keep the package really safe.

My hubby's first time experience in fun run is so successful and he really have fun last Sunday together with our church mates. This coming Sunday will be Milo's Annual Marathon event and my hubby is so excited to be a part of it too. He is aiming to run for 5K because the Milo Marathon's 3K is for kids only.

Joining this kind of event will be a sure fun especially for my hubby who will be joining Milo Marathon for the first time. Running is a good exercise and I know he can really benefit from it.

By the way for those who are interested, find below the race map

The Christian Church and other religious groups have long been associated with doing charity work wherever such ministry is needed. Constantine was a Christian emperor of Rome, and he is the first ruler on record as having funded the Christian Church's alms work. In the 1800s in England and the United States, the first government programs began for social work that paved the way for the work and education of social workers today. 

England was a leader in establishing laws and programs to help the poor and needy within its borders. The laws provided for low-income and less fortunate people to fit into categories that would serve them in the best way. As examples, the able-to-work poor were in a different category from the infirm and helped according to their need. 

In the United States, a growing problem was the overwhelming number of immigrants who arrived in the country and had no money or means of support. Aid programs sprang up and individuals and organizations donated time, supplies, food and medical help to the stricken people. Eventually, hospitals saw the need for some type of social workers and hired skilled nurses for the task. Massachusetts General Hospital was the first with others soon to follow that employed nurses as social workers. 

Today, social workers are often on the front lines in the fight against social injustices. They work with the poor and needy and strive to protect human rights. Those interested in a career in this field find many private and public colleges and universities that offer social work degrees. These institutions of higher learning are a positive presence in local communities, and they advertise on radio and television as well as in relevant printed material and webpages. They will sometimes list their bachelor's degree and masters degree in social work in the advertisements. Especially do they advertise social work coursework to target audiences on the internet. 

Social workers hours or benefits might be cut when the economy is struggling, and more social workers may be hired during times of economic highs. However, those in government realize that the poor need the social work programs in place. Schools offering education for careers in the social work field encourage students to enter this career path by showing the accomplishments and rewards of working for social needs. Certainly, government-funded social work and programs will continue into the foreseeable future.

This week is a fun-filled one with the celebration of our school's Intramurals with the theme: Heroes Revolution. I didn't really joined the fun because I was stuck at the office checking my student's projects. On my way out, I read this tarpaulin and I might as well share it here:)

What's the advantage for this year's Intrams was that the Gym was already available for use. Unlike on the previous years, we have to rent for almost a hundred thousand to Lim Ket Kai Atrium for the cheer dance and the MUST pageant. And oh by the way, speaking of MUST Pageant, I am so proud of the newly crowned Ms MUST, she was my student before in High school. Danica Tacbas is very intelligent girl and she truly deserves the crown!

The Intramurals will commence on September 28, 2013. Be there and have fun!

Last September 11, I filed for renewal of my License at the PRC. I am so glad that finally I was able to do it. I supposed to have it renewed on the year 2010 but for some personal reasons, I opted to delay the renewal and I can't believe it took me three years before I finally have it. Because of that lapses on my part, I wasn't able to apply for the government, which I regretted so much. I just realized the importance of being in the government and I knew I've lost so much opportunities.

Now that I have my renewed license, I am hoping and praying that I could make it in the next ranking schedule. I am praying for God's favor. I need to work it out before the next summer. I love my current job right now but I don't have a security of tenure, I don't get paid during summers and worst of all, it's a no work, no pay scheme. I've wasted a lot of time before realizing the importance of having a permanent job.

I am declaring that the year 2014 IS MY YEAR, The year when I'll be hired in the government, the year of financial breakthrough! Yes, Lord, thanks for your provision. I know I can do all things with the strength coming from You!
