Another SM Supermall in Marikina City

I took this photo when I happened to pass by Marikina City Riverbanks last week. Riverbanks is some sort of a mini mall where you can shop from branded stores and 'tiangge' types, as well. There is a bookstore, an appliance store, a supermarket, plenty of food shops, from Jollibee to Tropical Hut as well as other retail stores catering to different needs and various markets.

On the foreground is the famous squeaky clean Marikina River. And that large block of building is the new and soon to open SM Super Mall. The other buildings on the farthest right, I believe is Eastwood, actually located at nearby Quezon City.

Marikenyos are excited about SM's opening, I am sure. It is touted to occupy 60,000 sq meters of land and shall maintain a floor area equivalent to 124,877.85 (one of Henry Sy's spacier malls).

And to this effect I suppose Riverbanks (too bad I forgot to take a photo of the place), will just be a thing of the past?

Me? I am more worried about the traffic, garbage, flooding, and an overflow of 'bad elements' marshalling their victimizing skills' as soon as the Mall opens. (In a wink), I understand.

Hah! But I am sure the Fernando's (MCF the Mayora and husband BF, the MMDA Chairman) have thought all about this way before they agreed to have SM open a branch this part of Eastern Metro Manila.

So Congratulations to my kabayans. And to SM Supermalls, welcome to the City "na ang mga tao ay may mabuting ugali". (where the people are good natured).

YES!

Am I real? What if I was just a character In a computer game Of some child genius from the distant future? Give me an idea of my program I will try to decode it. What is my role in this game? Who are the rest of the characters? It was a mistake To assume I was the lead character Can you please debug I am kinda getting out of sync. The synapses are beginning to numb What do I have in between my glial cells I wish I were Sophia Or maybe Elon? It is good to have noble intentions And have altruistic plans But my programmer needs to do a fast forward. Help me out please?

Living And Learning With MOOCS

This blog note I posted in my LEARNING blog which I never got to continue developing as I was occupied with developing several other content I was trying to do at that time - 2013.  So timely because today all students are online. And I was on it way, way back. I was almost retired at that time but because I wanted to continue learning I found  out that I could continue learning through MOOCS.    So what are MOOCs? MOOCs or Massive Open Online Courses are free online courses asynchronously accessible through the Web. These  courses are offered by educational institutions like Stanford, MIT, Harvard, and other big league schools in the United States. MOOCs do not give university degrees but taking these courses could supplement college studies or refresh everything you have learned upon retirement or whenever there is an opportunity.  At the time, MOOCs were provided FREE. Full audit and can participate in the exams. They also gave out  Statements of Accomplishments to those who just au
