So you think you can dance season 4 Top 14 Dance by Katee and Joshua: The Best Contemporary Dance

I think this is by far the best Contemporary Dance that I have ever seen. It has the technique, the expression and the inexplicit story but it stirs emotion. Katee Sean, the top 3 dancer from season 4 of so you think you can dance displays feelings as if she is talking to you by her movement. Joshua Allen, the winner of the season is surprising because of how he has adopted the technique even for such a short time.

This piece makes one dancer evolve into a story teller. It gives and illusion that it has neglected the technique but actually the technique has alluded the audience as it has transformed into an illusion of emotions, feelings crafted into one piece of ART.

Poverty Distorts Technique and Arts

A friend once said that it is in distortion that a certain art is made beautiful. In saying this, it is assumed that distortion is meant and purposely done. But what if it is inevitable? What if the distortion is not meant because it is just the way the situation is for a lot of people.

Lately, I have been conducting Dance workshops for poor children in the neighboring towns in Davao City. In as much as I would be thrilled by the workshop’s impact on me, I have realized that my presence to these children was a greater impact to them.

I saw how they could have the “LINES” of a ballerina. The “Footwork” of a competing dance sport dancer and the “Deepness” of a popular choreographer. The only thing that would dismay them from being these good as I have mentioned is poverty.

It is a sad fact. Poverty has always been the boundary of most of Filipinos to go aboard different Arts Forms.

But Poverty is also the reason why a lot of artist becomes ingénues. The idea of trying something cheaper and being resourceful makes one artist different from the other.

Where to read the latest news

Surfing the web is one of my biggest hobbies. I go from the latest gadgets to the latest news. Popular belief would say that the internet is faster in terms on telling the world what’s going on compared to reading the news paper and watching the television.

However, most of surfers do not know which website to choose in finding the best news. Here are some of the best websites to look at in order to be on top of everybody when it comes to the buzz.

A comparison between Home Based jobs and Office Employments: Which is better?

My teacher in Science and Technology, Prof. Eufemio Rasco who wrote the book, “Unfolding Gene Revolution” would agree that the world has become flat. In one of his require book review last semester, we tackle on the book about the world being flat which enumerated various classifications on hoe it has become so. This includes the idea of the internet; off shoring and outsourcing.

It is then inevitable that jobs today have already been set on the internet. It started with the idea of the call center, which still requires the essence of the “work place”; a desk and a computer with carrels at the side.

But somehow, work has also evolved. In fact, many jobs are now home based today; from writing to teaching online and the likes to sophisticated jobs like editorial work and making animations and 3d operations.

The question is which job or work is better in terms of income, quality of work and effort. These are three criteria which I consider comparative with regards to Home based jobs and Office Employments.

Income

Home based jobs usually are higher paying. An employer usually gets more than 10, 000 a month and a minimum of 6,000 a month. But you don't get that for passively, you work for it of course. Most importantly, home based jobs are skilled jobs which require you to be very good with your craft say writing for instance.

On the other hand, office employment most of the time are low paying but there are also high paying like call centers and those sophisticated firms. The advantage of this job is that you don't really get too burn out even if your in a "building" because your work end and starts at your desk.

Quality of Work

Usually, being employed at home is a little less sophisticated than working in a skyscraper. But if your the kind who goes to WIFI stations all day and just drink coffee, your as good as an executive.

The Quality of work is just similar in all aspect. They both entail enthusiasm for you to like what your doing.

Effort

Effort is the most important thing one should weigh when it comes to choosing for the right job. Home based jobs always require you 100% effort because of the proximity to clients that yo have to compensate. Being employed in a building makes one passive sometimes because one could always use their charm.

So which job is better? Actually, it is just up to the employee whether he/she wants to have a higher rank in her workplace. Home based or not, the real score is how well you fit to your position and how well his or her efforts are complimented.

Graduated but still incompetent: What should a fresh graduate Architecture student have before really “Graduating”?

I stumble upon this topic just awhile a go when my Architect friend sent me a message asking if I had a job already. I told him that I would love to have one but unfortunately I was still finishing my thesis. Then, I asked my friend who just graduated this year if she wanted to apply for the job. Unfortunately, she also had second thoughts because she thought she was incompetent.

Many fresh graduate students in all fields have the same problem as with my friend. They feel incompetent because they could not meet the standards of today especially on the fast change of technology. In the field of architecture, students should thus be able to meet the technologies and new software systems to be able to feel competent in their future jobs.

Here are some things an Architecture student should master before really graduating.

1. Autocad

Every architecture student should know even the basic of this, At this time, there is a latest edition of Autocad which is Autocad 2009 Architects Edition.

2. 3D Max

This software is good for doing perspective and three dimensional areas.

3. Google Sketch Up
4. VRay
5. Adobe Photoshop
6. Corel Draw

All of these softwares can be downloaded from the internet and can be bought in stores. Although it entails a lot of time for practice, it is important that a student values practice that being caught empty handed in the on the job trainings. It is also valuable to create a good first impression.
