A year continues....

Nothing to end but to continue what I've been doing for the last year. Do the things what I loved to do, and do some community thing.. hahahahah! The only thing that i can offer is to spread PHP to more willing minds and hands!

Last year was so great that I've been blessed with a lot of people. Friends, really good friends, family, great relationships and networks.

2007 was a year that Amigoas Internet Cafe born out of almost a year of planning with great heads, not only from the industry of internet cafes but from people who are out of nowhere are willing to extend some great financial lengths. Because this is not only for few, but for everybody. Through this initiative a lot of young minds will start a revolution soon when it comes to technology.

Amigoas will not only a cafe for business but a place of learning also where we are willing to extend hands and help this generation realize that they are really the future of this country. Sounds boring actually, but its true.

The last year ended with a kick-off start for the Amigoas Youth Development Program, (AYDP). AYDP focuses on training some selected and willing Out-of-School Youths and Students to be train for PHP/CSS/MySQL, in 1-word, for Web Development. We started with 8 students. We started with 8 because we can only cover 8 sponsorship last December. But soon, maybe we can cover more youth to learn Web Development. We choose web development us a module for tutorial because we know that websites are now very common medium for communication especially in our technology age and because I am on it.

On January 14, 2008 Corel Shares will start teaching selected OSY's using CorelDraw. This is a project of the City Vice-Mayor of Davao City, Inday Sara. And we are very grateful because Amigoas Internet Cafe was chosen as the venue for teaching. The teacher to this CorelShares is no other than Mr. Ray Rubio, a world-class CorelDraw Designer.

Amigoas was born out of passion to bring the best out of our hidden talents. Back in February 2004 where Amigoas was started to birth in my heart. It was a true desire that I can make a Friendster-like website, then it came to pass and was a reality. Amigoas.com was born and so the friends and the best-friends and the soon were couples started to linger among us. We made it.

With desire and passion I know that we can do something not only for ourselves but for the best of the community.

So this year, I'm excited to see more things out of passion to birth within our young-minds and hearts that we can do impossible things and made Davao proud of Us.

Happy New Year, 2008!
