I passed the March 12, 2017 CSE-PPT Professional Exam!

Thank You, Lord! I finally passed the Civil Service Exam. I honestly thought it was impossible, but if you really study, you can make it.

Math was my weakest subject, but it ended up being my highest score! Once you understand the formulas, it’s easier to answer any kind of problem.

Take note, I only reviewed at home using borrowed high school math books. There are also reviewers online—just search for them, they’re a big help too!

Yes I passed!🤣

My baby's teething problems

Tempra, E-Zinc, Hydrite and Erceflora

May 31, 2015, Sunday, it was our Barangay Fiesta when Barbie had a fever. We gave her Paracetamol (Tempra) for temporary treatment and she had been okay, so we were able to attend the Sunday Mass. I thought she was really okay on the following day. Unfortunately, on the next day the fever symptoms come back after they had gone away.  She also had loose stools for more than two days before she had a fever. Actually, Barbie poops two to three times a day (it's normal), but this time her poop looks watery. At first, we thought that she is getting through teething problems but I don't think teething is to blame for these symptoms or it was really an LBM because we had never experienced something like this before when her first tooth emerged. Barbie had been experiencing only mild symptoms like fussiness, drooling and gnawing.

Wednesday morning (fourth day of her high fever), when we decided to bring her to the pediatrician. We were worried that she might have other reasons of having a high fever. 

When we arrived to CGH Emergency Room, the nurse took some information such as Barbie's weight (7.2 kg), age (11 months) and her body temperature (normal, because I just gave her Paracetamol). After few interviews about her medical history, the Pediatrician recommended to test her blood. So we went to the Hospital Laboratory to get her blood tested to find out. When the results came in (45 minutes later), we went back to emergency room and gave the result to the Pediatrician. As she interpreted blood test results, she told us that most of babies are frequently put things in their mouths to soothe their gums, so they're coming into contact with more viruses and other germs that's why our baby experiencing fever and LBM. I guess its quite true.

The Pediatrician prescribed to take Paracetamol (Tempra) for fever, given only when her temperature is 38 C above; Erceflora  it was given once a day for three days; e-Zinc and Hydrite. 

Baby Stuff: Picolo Moon Walk for Barbie at Nine Months

Barbie wears Moon Walk as she celebrates her 9th month birthday

Picolo Moon Walk is not like a normal walker that has wheels which can only be used indoors on the flat surface. Picolo Moon Walk is designed to help babies to walk in comfort and safely anywhere they want to go, especially outdoor.

It was New Year's Day when Barbie received Picolo Moon Walk as a gift from her Ninong. Barbie was 6 months old that time and I think this is the best time to teach her how to walk, but her pediatrician strongly discourages the use of baby walkers. According to her, she will probably lose some body weight. Many said walkers can discourage children from learning to walk on their own, can slow motor development and also it can be dangerous.

When Barbie started to cruise at nine months she makes her way around the room using whatever furniture is available until now she became 11 months. I am forced to use Moon Walk as harness with Barbie (just like what you see in the photo above) when moving from one piece of furniture to the next because there are times she gets out of balance that cause of head bumps. 

For me this kind of walker is safe and comfortable because Barbie and I could walk naturally without bending back or pull up arms and I can easily hold the horizontal bar to guide her in a more natural position rather than holding her two hands.

Troubleshooting: USB Mouse Wiring

Tuesday, March 24, 2015

I have two defective USB wired mouses, and I don't want to buy new one again so I decided to fix and experiment a bit with them.
Actually, my first mouse has defective USB connector but seems fine otherwise and the other one has broken Scrolling Wheel and Left Click Button. Let say I could replace the USB connector of my first mouse, taking the good cable and USB connector from my other mouse and use it to replace the defective one since I don't know how to fix defective USB connector and Left Click Button. After a few hours of experimentation it was successfully fixed.   Now I am going to tell you about my experience to help you troubleshoot your mouse with the same case. Let's call my first mouse as Mouse A and the other one as Mouse B.

1. I used these tools: Philips Screw Driver, Scissors and Sticky Tape

2. I opened up both mouses using Philip Screw Driver.

3. As I opened both mouses, I found that the circuits and wiring were slightly similar. Then I cut the Mouse A's cable leaving some 1/2 an inch to expose bare wire using scissors.

Mouse B with broken Scrolling Wheel and Left Click Button

4. I'm trying to connect Mouse A's cable into Mouse B's USB connector.

4. My first attempt was to connect  I understand to reconnect the cable with their same cable cord color. But the Red LED did not lit, that means  it was wrong combination.

5. Then I found out that they have the same cable cord color but different labeled inside the mouse and it is written in this manner,  Mouse A  pinouts were labled V G D+ D- with wire color of White, Blue, Green and Orange respectively, while  Mouse B pinouts were labeled G V C D with wire color of Blue, Orange, Green and White respectively.

USB Wired Mouse A: pinouts were labeled V G D+ D-

USB Wired Mouse B: Pinouts were labeled G V C D
