Continuing Education in the Field of Criminal Justice

When it comes to career choices, a number of undergraduates aspire to work in the field of criminal justice. The scope of this profession is wide and a common misconception from the public is that it is mainly about law enforcement when, in fact, it also involves other aspects such as the court system, criminology and crime research. Pursuing a degree is just the initial step towards having a promising career. Graduates can easily find work in different fields because the demand for professionals is high, but if you want to stay ahead of the competition, you may need to offer something different.


This is why continuing your education is very important. If you are looking for career advancement, consider enrolling in criminal justice graduate programs in order to enhance the skills you have acquired and utilize the experiences you may have had from working in the industry. For some people, a bachelor’s or associate degree is already enough, but this may not be sufficient if you aim to climb the ladder of success. Earning a master’s degree is a surefire way towards career success. Some skeptics might argue that there is no need for a continuing education, below are just some of the reasons why you should consider getting a Master’s Degree in Criminal Justice:




  1. More career opportunities await those who earn a master’s degree. Since the coursework for graduate programs is extensive and covers a wide range of topics, it prepares an individual to take on managerial and administrative responsibilities. The program is designed to enhance the leadership qualities of graduate students so that they’ll be ready to handle a position where they will need to direct staff and ensure that the organization is moving to the right direction.

  2. The monetary benefit is also another factor why professionals seek further studies. As you move up to a better position expect that a higher salary and more work-related benefits will also be offered to you. There is a big difference in the income earned by a bachelor’s degree holder and a degree holder in a criminal justice master’s program. Consider this as one of the major perks in pursing further studies.

  3. Enrolling in a master’s program provides students with the opportunity to focus on a particular field of specialization. It allows you to focus on a specific aspect of criminal justice and finish all related studies and research related to it.


There are a number of reasons why taking graduate programs online is preferred over enrolling in your degree program at a traditional campus. Graduate students may still continue with their respective jobs and attend their classes online on a schedule that is convenient for them. The courses are also shorter compared to the traditional classroom setup and you can set the pace of your study program depending on your preference.

When Kids Should not Meddle During Adult Arguments

Just the other weekend, a family drama surfaces. It's just one of  those days when people become crazy, over sensitive and lose their temper. My aunt and my older brother got an argument that happened once again. My bro is not the usual confrontational kind of guy by means of speaking or yelling but his own way is to throw things. It's his way to release  and show his anger when is is really pissed of. I'm not really on the scene when that happened but according to my SIL and some family members, the argument started because my aunt is asking my bro to clean the mess that he left on the garage. I guess my bro is already fed up with the constant nagging and repeated talking of my aunt that is why he lost his tempter. Mom overheard the commotion and he came to the scene and asked both to be calm. Argument sprouted again between my aunt and my mom (both are sisters) and that is not good.

Hearing the yelling, my nephew came and told them to stop yelling and arguing at each other that made mom and other adults to tell him to shut up and he  must not join the adult arguments. Ahh.. family issues and drama happens to any family. Our family is not perfect and I think there's no perfect family anyway.

When family drama arises, sometimes I just want to keep mum and don't want to meddle with their arguments so that issue will not become big anymore. I'm just wishing that kids should learn how to honor and respect elders and they should not interfere with the adult conversation.

Decluttering is Refreshing

As you all know we had a mini home make-over this month and re-painting of the whole house made us clean declutter our house. It was really so hard to almost empty a room with all our stuff, putting them on boxes or big plastic bags. It was so dusty and throwing some things are really hard to do.

As promised I wanted a new space in my room, so I decided to throw away lots of my stuff that I have accumulated all those years. It was hard at 1st but it was refreshing and liberating as well. I want less stuff but I hope I can keep up with it because I have the tendency to hoard things haha…

Anyway, I still have some things to throw and organize and I’m not done yet. I hope by Holy Week or so I can do that or else my plans are fail.

Smart Bro, Not Smart Anymore?

Sorry, but I have to rant.


Yesterday, it was around 4:45 pm when my Smart Bro internet connection at home just went out. I was of course disappointed rather than angry. I immediately restarted the router and turned on and off the internet connection for few minutes and thankfully after 10 mins. or so the net connection is back.


I was back blogging but to my dismay, I could not open my blogs and worst I could not publish the post that I finished before the net disappeared. I checked on other sites and they are loading so I thought it's just my blog's server that is down so I contacted my nephew who is the one handling my blog hosting. He replied back telling me that he can access all of my blogs without a hitch but I don't believe him.


Still not convinced that my blogs are accessible, I asked my bestfriend to check it for me and she said my blogs are fine and they are all loading fast on her browser and also Smart connection too. Arghhh.. so that left me with no one to blame but SMART BRO!


I'm pretty sure that it has intermittent connection and selective browsing.. argghhh. I had some couple of posts that need to be published on my blogs that are "down" on my side but I don't have a clue how can I access my account with that kind of connection. I restarted my pc, router and the net wire few times already till this morning but still it's not working on some blogs/site..



Using Proxy Server Site


A friend saw my tweet and IG post and she experienced the same when she still uses Smart Bro before. She called up the tech support and Smart advised her to use a proxy server site to access my blogs. I tried it and it work but still would not want to use it via that medium though.


I want my good connection back Smart Bro! Too bad they would not even give me discount after experiencing such intermittent and selective browsing problems. Boo!

Cancer Research and Development

Every time I hear the word “cancer”, I can’t help myself feel sad and afraid at the same time. We all know that the big “C” of any organs in our body is one of the leading causes of death around the world and it’s very alarming already. I have already lost 2 of my aunts (father side) to breast cancer and one of my cousins is also diagnosed with breast cancer few years back. It was devastating to hear about that news and she has gone several operations and chemotherapy and I know how hard and painful it is for the body and financial wise. I just heard that she is now in remission and the good thing is that she’s keeping a positive vibes and hopes about it.


Now, that I learned that breast cancer runs in our family, I can’t help but to feel worried as well. I still don’t have the courage to go to the doctor and have my breast check if there is a lump. I know that self breast examination can also help in detection but you see, fear is making me not to do that as well. I know it’s not a good thing to do but oh well, I’m just afraid to know. I’m sure in the coming days I’ll have an appointment with my doctor.


Anyway, I’m just wishing that there will be more medical breakthroughs in the coming years especially now that a lot of equipment or gadgets are getting more high-tech. Researchers are also doing their best to find all the cure for all types of cancers or diseases. cureLauncher helps in the research, discovery and development of drugs and to find cure for cancer and other diseases that can help all suffering patients. We can always help in our own little way and it we can always donate to cancer research that can help them continue what they are doing. In fact, they have been testing a new drug that can cure lumps or tumors of breast cancer patients that already spread in the brain.


Like we always hear, early detection of any disease is always the best for there is a big chance that it will be healed.

Are You Ready for Christmas this Year?

It may sound a little bit early to think about the gifts, food and all other details for Christmas but for me, Christmas shopping has already started. I’m frivolous to shop for more this coming days as I am not yet done shopping. I still need to list down more names and think about what gifts are perfect for them. It can be a little difficult to know what they like but I’m positive that they will like all the gifts that they will receive from me because it’s a blessing, right?


For some of my girlfriends I already thought of giving some nice bracelets or necklaces. Since beading and colorful bracelets are in trend these days because of the arm candies together with over-sized watches I thought, I’d make them personalized bracelets. I already found the best bead wholesalers that has all the supplies that I need. I’m into beading before so making bracelets is not new to me. I just need to have a good eye in matching different kinds of beads or crystals so I can make nice ones. However, if I’m pressed for time making them, I also know where to buy bracelets and accessories at a whole sale price.


Ahh.. I can’t wait for Christmas. It’s the celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ and along with that, giving and sharing our blessings to others are more enjoyable and meaningful a thousand folds.


During Christmas, kids all over the world are the happiest of all because they always know that Christmas is also synonymous to gifts. Opening their gifts at Christmas Eve and during Christmas day brings them a lot of joy that they all deserve. I just wish that all kids and family will be together this Christmas and those that are suffering and don’t have the means to celebrate will be blessed.

Limiting Online Times

Oh dear, I’m so.. so.. so.. guilty of this! In the morning and after having my breakfast and that is usually around 8:00am already, I pick up my phone and immediately check my Instagram (not my mail) account. That usually take me around 15-30 mins. depending on how many comments I have to reply on certain photos that I’ve posted.


After checking my phone, I’ll switch to my desktop to check my email, facebook and other online accounts and also of course my work accounts. It will take about an hour or more. Then I’ll prepare the things that I will cook for lunch and I go back online.


Around 11 am, I will cook and in between I will go online until evening doing works, browsing, online window-shopping and also some digi scrapping if I have the mojo for that. Practically, online works keeps me busy and occupies my time that I noticed that I’m not taking my dog out for walk in more than a week already.. bad bad bad!


I read an article about prioritizing things and minimizing online times as much as possible. I can say that I miss getting out but when I think of going out it means shelling out money and that I don’t want to do at the moment.. yay!


Anyway, I will try to limit my online times but how can I do that if my work requires me to be online 24/7? Oh I guess I need another vacation where I don’t need to bring my work.

What You Need to Know about Will Probation

Let’s face it, preparation of a last will and testament is something people would not like to do in advance or talk about freely. It’s like putting yourself ahead of time and for some it can be eerie just to think about it. However, other individuals may find it necessary to do in advance together with their attorney. Doing so, it will be easy for those that they will leave behind when the time (death) comes. Those that have big estates or properties can legally be transferred to all your beneficiaries in legal manner. The legal process can be costly but it can serve good purpose in the end.


Will probation or simply presenting your Will to a court for filing and processing can be done by your lawyer. Should you need such service, My Texas Wills law firm has been offering will preparations and texas probate services for over 15 years now. In fact, they help their clients in the tedious legal process will probation and all the necessary paperwork under the Texas law.

Objectophilia - Romantically in Love with Objects

When i first learned about this condition, I was in disbelief, I didn't know that this exist!

OBJECTOPHILIA - (Wikipedia) Object sexuality or objectum sexuality, in German Objektophilie (OS), is a pronounced emotional and often romantic desire towards developing significant relationships with particular inanimate objects. Those individuals with this expressed preference may feel strong feelings of attraction, love, and commitment to certain items or structures of their fixation.


For some, sexual or even close emotional relationships with humans are incomprehensible. Some object-sexual individuals also often believe in animism, and sense reciprocation based on the belief that objects have souls, intelligence, and feelings, and are able to communicate. Contrary to sexual fetishism, the object to an OS person is viewed as their partner and not as a means to an end to enhance a human sexual relationship.

What Would You? : Eldery Harrassed on the Street

Just in case you didn't know, I love watching Reality TV shows like The Amazing Race etc. Another show that I like watching is "WHAT WOULD YOU DO?" shown in the US. Even though it's not airing here in Pinas, I'm more than happy to watch almost all the episodes in YouTube.


What Would You Do? is an American television news magazine  hosted or headed by John Quiñones over at ABC. The show is about getting people's reaction on a particular scenario that that show has set up. There are actors/actresses that will take part and they mostly stage a scenario about injustice or abuse to people/animal. There are hidden cameras around and it can test or it can reveal a person's trait, reaction or character to a particular scenario.



If you haven't watched any of their episodes, try to watch even just one and you'll see how people react in a given "staged scenario." Just loved this show!

Here's one episode where elders are harassed on the streets.

Shocking CCTV Footage of Child Abuse in a Nursery by a Teacher

Wow, another child abuse caught on tape and this one is the shocking CCTV footage of child abuse in a nursery by a teacher in China to a 4 year old child!

This was on the new lately and if you watched the video, I know for sure you'll be fuming mad at this teacher who helplessly maltreated this poor child. You'll see that the teacher carried the girl on his arms and throws her on the floor, kicked her and tossed her again! The teacher is doing that yet no one seems to stop her (there are other teachers around).

It appears that the child has  learning difficulties, is now left severely brain damaged because of what the teacher has done! The poor child also has undergone operations but now she cannot walk already!

My gosh, thankfully the teacher is prosecuted already!

Warning: the video can be so disturbing!
