The Winning Piece

The Official CEAT Centennial Logo

I am the very proud designer of the CEAT Centennial Logo. This winning piece is one of my greatest achievements. I did not expect to win the logo making contest. But the simplicity and content of my work surely won. I remember the day I thought of the concept. I drew the logo from scratch. After putting the components together, I opened Adobe Photoshop CS5 and placed the components one-by-one. Added effects and done!

The components of the logo are the following:

The gear represents engineering and technology as a whole.

When the teeth of the gear are removed, it shows a steering wheels that represents a continuous drive.

The oblation symbolizes excellence.

The number 1 in 100 is an arrow directing upwards that symbolizes improvement.

The colors maroon and green represents the university that molds every person involved in CEAT-UPLB.

The color yellow represents aspiration towards a brighter future.

Breakfast is Served

Cooking is one of my favorite past times. Mixing ingredients available in our home and producing an innovative dish. Out of boredom I rushed into our kitchen to start my day right.

This morning I cooked an omelet patty composed of eggs, ham, potatoes, herbs and spices. The original plan was just a plain egg and ham for breakfast. I browsed our refrigerator and pantry to find more ingredients. I cooked the omelet patty in a low-medium fire flipping it occasionally. After placing the omelet patties on the plate, I placed a small amount of light mayo at the sides and added rosemary at the top of the plate.

Protection May Lead to Destruction

Parents these days won't let any harm to their children. They tend to be over protective. For some reasons, it is very much appreciated because in that manner they show how much they love their children.

There is a question meddling in my mind lately. Does the protection parents give to their children really protects them? My opinion is that the protection parents give does not really protect the children. Rather, they put these kids in a more dangerous zone. A zone of great destruction. Children who grew up with a very comfortable lifestyle tend to be less grit. What I meant is that they got lesser chances of become strong willed persons. They might grew intelligent in books, but they may not be ready to face the real world on their own.

Come think of these things and evaluate what is better for the children today.
