Be an ultimate student! Be a survivor!! By Jessant Deblois

School most of the time make us feel like we are stuck in an island were we can only see is the sky, trees and the ocean. It feels like we are in the middle of nowhere, facing different challenges. Like looking for food and shelter, and in a school set up we’ve been dealing tons of challenges like passing anatomy and physiology, chemistry, and perhaps algebra. There are also projects to pass, pending quizzes which we are ought to study.- all these things is necessary to survive this semester. At times, we thought it’s impossible to get everything completed on time. But we suggest you to smile and relax. Because its POSSIBLE! We the Caduceus staff has tips on how to outsmart, outdo and outlive your professors and be the ultimate student!

Start with a plan

- now that another semester had started, we all miss those night outs, parties and happenings during semester break. But at this point! Move on! It’s time to forget those things and focus on your acads.

Preparing a timetable is very imperative step in ensuring that you are on the right track this semester. There may have been things that you want to do and explore more during your vacay like, playing this awesome computer game, teaching your friends how to play guitar and write poetries. Yeah, its fun to do but going back to school doesn’t mean that you have to concede these hobbies. With self-control, fortitude, and your astounding skills, you can still play the piano like your favorite pianist and still you can make it to the dean’s list.

Be sure that your schedule covers the whole day, from the time you get up on bet until the time you go to sleep at night. Make sure that you allot ample time for your timetable. And you also have to remember that you don’t have to overload yourself and your schedule should allow you to take breaks and have fun.

Use a scheme!

- want to be a scholar this semester? Do you have a strong feeling that you will be the new editor of your school paper? Or being part of a musical play? Well, that’s the spirit! Go for it!

The first thing you should do is to contemplate, anticipate on what it would take to reach your aspirations. You must classify your goals if it’s a long term or a short term goal and try to outline the things you have to do to achieve this. With this, you could easily identify the things that you need to give more attention to achieve your goal.

Form a group!

- get ready yourself for subjects you don’t enjoy by forming a study group with your awesome friends. (just imagine your group is a clan, the success of a member is the success of all.) Invite your close friend who flatter your strengths and helps you to work on your weaknesses. If you are not good in Anatomy and Physiology find someone who’s good at it.

Start working as a team so that you can fiddle with each other’s study habits. As a team set a goal collectively and then be each other’s support group. Stumble on different ways to enjoy your study sessions like playing games or giving sample quizzes to your teammates.

YOU RECEIVED AN AWARD!!!

-Repay yourselves! Even the coolest TV Show Survivor had a reward challenge for a job well done. Similarly, you should reward yourselves for all the hard work you’ve been incessantly putting in your studies.

After you and you’re teammates worked hard together, its now time to celebrate your triumph!

DANGER ZONE: WWW and its unwarranted peril

Perpetu alites, beware! CNO reveals the menace of going online

By Jessant Deblois

Facebook, Friendster, Myspace, Tumblr, Multiply, Twitter, Ebay, Tagged, Hi-5, and Plurk (include your favorite social networking site here). Are you familiar with these social networking sites? I deem yes, perchance most of us are members of these such.

As time goes by, technology can’t stop itself from emerging it became more accessible and fitting, and of course the power of WWW or the World Wide Web has definitely made the techy world a smaller place. However, nowadays everything we need is just a mouse click away- it is easy for us to access information for our researches, to contact our friends in far places, we download music for our Ipods, and practically we can now shop things online. Imagine how great the WWW is? Easy to access and very expedient, bear in mind also that the web also brings unjustified peril.

According to socialmediatoday.com, the top social networking site nowadays is Facebook with 51.61% market visits, followed by Youtube with 15.35% and on the third place Myspace with 14.34% of marker visits.

On that note, Facebook.com is the top social networking site nowadays, however. Facebook before is designed for college students for their medium of communication. But in our time it has grown terrifically and now is used by people around the globe. Moreover, Philippines ranked number two in Asia with 1,365,360 new users in Facebook as of today, this is according to www.slideshare.net- Philippines digital statistics, and last march 2010 there are 10,682,540 new facebook Pinoy users.

Have you been conned on the net? Or do you have bad experience encountered online?

If you will throw back the same question to me I will answer it with a BIG YES!

Yes, I am also a victim of these online predators. I just found out one day that someone is using my pictures and trying to mimic me, then after that I immediately reported to facebook about this poser and I asked my friends’ help to report him/her too.

In line with this, some perpetualites are also victim of these online hunters.

Blogger Feud

Miguel Imson, BSN

Being the short-fused person that I am, I see to it that I choose my battles wisely and compromise my anger into something a little more creative than just picking every opportunity to get angry. So I decided that I would be better off in a blogging site where I can exercise my creativity and at the same time, vent my anger without hurting any person who crosses my path. So I made a blogging site and I made sure that it was made private from all the people who are in the blog. I eventually got famous because of it at school, people copying my one-liners and enjoying the cunning mix of cynicism and wit that is my writing. And without apology, I might add. To make this long story short, it eventually got out and it beggared an inevitable face-off from all the people I’ve hurt. This is by far the scariest encounter I’ve had with people on the internet and I am praying to God, with much fervor, that it would be the last. I shut down the blog site and swore to God that I would never vent my anger online.

HAAACKERS!!! NOOOOO!

Simplyme, PT

I always surf the net after class in a internet café. Unfortunately, one day I just found out that someone hacked my account and kept on sending foul words to my friends..

VIRUS DETECTED!

Arrhon9102, RT

I always download videos and music on the net, and while I’m downloading my favorite song and window pop out, I closed it and all of a sudden my laptop shut down by itself and after opening it I found out that a virus killed my laptop!

Dad is a victim too…

Chaooo, BSN

I haven't experienced being duped on net, but my father had. his first facebook account was hacked due to interest on his poker chips.

Cadu tips to elude this bad online experiences

1. Be careful in choosing your email address be sure its not denote your real name, age and location

2. Choose a password that is difficult to crack- like this, h1o2w3a4r5e6y7o8u

3. Avoid using exaggeratedly playful names such as “kickmybutthottie24” or “sexynaughty_90”. They can easily magnetize online hunters.

4. Never reveal your passwords to anyone even to your friends. Remember this is your personal thing don’t let anyone invade your privacy.

5. Don’t post your phone numbers online.

6. If you are into forums and chatrooms never use your primary email address, use another one

7. Never give out your real name, age, address, password, school, and contact numbers.

FASHION GUIDE 101: not so “TRENDY” this December by Jessant J. Deblois

Yow! Fashionistas! This is your first lecture, Welcome to Fashion Guide 101!
I knew you’ve been busy flicking through the pages of your favorite fashion magazines and listing the HOTTEST fashion trends. It’s time for you to stop flicking through it for a while, sit back and relax and start reading our lecture.

The 2010 had been a tough year for us, we dealt with recession, with tough antagonistic looks, and the rebirth of the gaudy outfits of the 70’s.- from the overstated jackets to the endless textures layering of clothes. And of course the permeating gladiator footwear and comfy sneakers. On that note, we can stridently say, each year fashion is refining.

Not so trendy!
1. The Emo get up -I’m not just talking to the accessories and other stuff, I’m referring to the entire package. Messy hair, eye liners, thick make-up, black lipstick (That’s why people is staring at you when you go out because they thought that you will entomb them). Thin guys and gals wearing skin-tight jeans where it’s a big question how can they walk and stand. (I’m sure your blood will not circulate as it should be) and checkered shoes. Added to this is the incapability to look good and clean. Honestly, this get up is malevolent.

2. Aviator shades- people thought that wearing aviators will be stylish, though it isn’t sunny at all. Don’t use it when you’re inside the mall. People will thought you’re a lofty walking bug.

3. Shutter shades- without a doubt this fashion accessory that others say “trendy” has no purpose at all. (try to think it’s purpose)

4. Flipflops- elude buying overpriced flipflops, perhaps it will just look an unremarkable house slippers every time you hit the mall with your friends. Wearing expensive and ordinary flipflops is like buying tons of Espresso for your feet.

5. Animal print tees and jeans- I wonder why people love to wear this? Hitting the mall or going out of town with your friends while wearing this, is a big no! no!. This is only good for costume parties.

Take into account that you don’t need to follow the latest fashion trends, as long as you can present or dress up yourself decently and you’re comfortable wearing it so be it. People will admire the natural you!

SO HAPPY!

"God will make a way" i believed in this statement. God will make a way for us, a way that will be convenient and favorable for us..

I've been applying to different municipal offices for a scholarship but sad to say for two years of applying i'm always rejected, not because of my grades but the scholarship is only available for fresh high school graduates. Though it's unfair in my part.

Nevertheless, i after the long long years of waiting, God gave me an instrument for me to have this scholarship. Thank you to Ate Loida, who helped and supported me all throughout. I owe her a lot.
she informed me about this scholarship then i tried and happy to say. I was accepted.

I'm planning to post the permit to enroll stating that i'm a scholar of our city but i'm afraid because i think it's confidential (not sure about it).
Furthermore, this scholarship is a vast help for us. And now, i'll try my best for this scholarship..

it's the time to change my study habits and focus more on school...
Thank you lord God!

Happy Halloween!

Just wanna greet each and everyone of you a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
