40 days of Fasting...47 Days Left



In the Western Christian calendar, Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent and occurs forty days before Easter (excluding Sundays). It falls on a different date each year, because it is dependent on the date of Easter; it can occur as early as February 4 or as late as March 10.
At Masses and services of worship on this day, ashes are imposed on the foreheads (or tonsure spots, in the case of some clergy) of the faithful. The priest, minister, or in some cases officiating layperson marks the forehead of each participant with black ashes in the shape of a cross, which the worshiper traditionally retains until washing it off after sundown. The act echoes the ancient Near Eastern tradition of throwing ash over one's head to signify repentance before God (as related in the Bible).

As the College Graduation Day of UIC falls on easter sunday, guys... we have to wait 47 days of this great great celebration in our life! Advance Happy Graduation. But before that... We have to pass all of our subject especially our THESIS! hehehe...

My Time is Precious


As days of my college life getting closer to the end, my time has more become precious for me, Rendering my daily works, doing my thesis, surfing Internet for posible job opportunities, and doing other works as requested by my area heads. having the age of 31 and still studying is not easy. I need to manage now my time correctly so that I can finish my work in every day.
I know it's hard for me to look for a job, considering my age, But I'm still thinking positive, having worked here in this university for more than five years keeps me more familiar for the works that related for my choosen profession; the world of IT, as everyday I found different computer problems, everyday I gain a new Idea, and how to solve that problem.
My time is precious, I need to used wisely.
