Yes! The first semester of academic year 2010-2011 has just ended for me. Hooraaay!
To be honest, I’m still speechless right now. I can’t believe that my first semester as a “regular” student is finally over. My first semester was fine despite the electrical problem at my college. Yes, my college doesn’t have electricity for more than a month now! Just imagine holding classes at the corridors or even at the college garden (under a tree!). It was horrible and ridiculous all at the same time! Nevertheless, I can say that I did enjoy my first semester.
I’m not really sure how I performed this semester. But, I believe I did just fine.
What should I expect for the second semester? I have no idea. Plus, I don’t want to talk about the second semester yet. I just hope that by next semester, the electricity problem/s at my college will be fixed.
So, what will I do during my vacation? Well, I’ll probably work on stuff for Brink Notes Podcast Network. In fact, I have so many plans for BNCAST to the point that I don’t know what to work on first. Seriously. I’m actually thinking of adding a new show to the current BNCAST show line-up and I hope that this vacation will allow me to do that. Pretty exciting!
See you around!
Monday is usually the start of the school and work week for a lot of people. Well, not for me. Monday is just an extension of my weekend. Yes, I don’t have classes on Mondays because school says so and I’m so loving it.
Let me digress a bit.
Over the weekend, I worked on the website of my podcast network, Brink Notes Podcast Network. I tried my best to customize the Thesis WordPress theme to suit my podcast network’s website needs. Go and check out the new and improved website of the Brink Notes Podcast Network. Just like any other websites, the BNCast website is still a work in progress. O ha!
So, what did I do today?
As usual, my alarm clock (actually, my phone’s alarm) went off at exactly 07:30 in the morning. But, I remember waking up at around 4:30 in the morning because Mom’s alarm is still on snooze and I had to turn it off by myself before continuing my sleep! I ate my breakfast consisting of corned beef, rice and coffee while watching ANC Headstart, my favorite morning show.
Let’s fast forward a bit. Click to continue reading »
Here’s a confession: Exactly five years ago, I skipped school to record the very first episode my very first podcast, “Jeric’s Confessions.”
Seriously.
The night before September 5, 2005, I was watching Studio 23′s “Digital Tour” and they happen to have a feature about podcasting and that very moment I knew that I should have my own podcast show. Podcasting is like having your own radio show! After that show aired, I rushed to our family PC to search for podcasts that I could listen to.
The morning of September 5, 2005, I told my mom that I’m not going to school. My reason for skipping school? My tummy was aching. It was my school’s foundation week, anyway, and I didn’t want to be under the scorching heat of the sun to practice for our field demonstration. So there. I fired up the computer, plugged in my cheap dynamic microphone and recorded the first episode of “Jeric’s Confessions” and the rest is history.
I really can’t remember what I talked about during the first episode of “Jeric’s Confessions.” What I could clearly remember about it is the background music I’ve used for that particular episode–Missy Elliot’s Work It.
WHAT WAS I THINKING? SERIOUSLY.
HEY! I just want to write a quick blog post about Brink Notes Podcast Network. Well, Brink Notes Podcast Network is a collection of the podcasts I have produced since September 2005.
Brink Notes Podcast Network started with the launch of my very first podcast show, Jeric’s Confessions, on September 5, 2005.
Alongside with the relaunch of the Brink Notes Podcast Network, I have also launched a new podcast show, EDUC Today. EDUC Today is a 30-minute weekly podcast that discusses and explains different educational issues affecting the teachers and students of today. From choosing your degree program to deciding whether to pursue a doctoral degree, this podcast is for everyone interested in becoming informed and educated on innovations and issues involving the academe.
I have decided to create podcast focusing on education after the success of my education blog, Distance Education in the Philippines. Please check out the first episode of EDUC Today.
I hope you can drop by Brink Notes Podcast Network and check out some of the shows. Thanks!
