8th Waray Music Festival



It's the 8th year of music festival that happens annually at Tacloban City featuring Waray-Waray music talents all over Eastern Visayas. I was at last year's 7th year Waray Music Festival celebration at RTR Plaza in Tacloban City and was overwhelmed at the talents from Tacloban City. The event was jam packed, lots of bands played and it was one hell of an evening of rock music! I'm sure this year will be much better because of the lineup of bands who will be playing.

Nikon fans, especially who currently owns a Nikon 50mm f/1.8D watch the video of the comparison of this two great lenses. For those who are on the look on purchasing new lenses, the video will help you decide which 50mm lens to get depending on your needs and your budget. Both are good lenses, expect that they differ much in price. If you have a motorized Nikon body (ie D90, D7000, D300s, D700) go with the 1.8D, for those who have a non-motorized body (ie D3000, D3100, D5000, D5100) go with the 50 1.8G so you use the autofocus features.

Top 3 In Demand Jobs Today

Since I have resigned from my previous job as a computer technician, this will be time again to look for another job from other companies. What's even more challenging is I am making a career shift, which is really difficult to land a job wherein you have little to no experience at all. I wanted to work on web related jobs like as web/graphic designer or an SEO specialist. Lately, I have scouring the newspapers ads for job openings and also through the internet job sites, I was surprised to notice that most jobs openings was into web jobs. These are three jobs that are in demand right now, all of them is computer/IT related jobs.

1. Web Developer. Most job openings require to have 2-3 years of experience in mostly web programming like PHP, Ruby on Rails, AJAX, Jquery, Javascript.

2. Web/Graphic Designer. More and more clients are putting their business online, yet the demand for web designers is really high. At least you have to have at least 2-3 years of solid work experience from Photoshop, CSS, & HTML.

3. SEO Specialist. More websites being produced means also more work for the SEO specialist. Generally the job of the SEO specialist is to make a web/business site rank well in search engines so that it's easy for potential customers to look for them. Pre-requisites such as at least have had an experience in work as an SEO.

If you are recently a IT graduate and finding your first job, take time first to furnish your skills so you'll be to have at least an advantage of what will the work you we gearing at.
