This is her first year in high school and she is obviously enjoying it and  made many new friends. She served as the Class Captain in Year 7. This year, she made her First Grade Level in Piano with distinctive marks.<\/p>\n<p>Celine and Jessica are doing well academically despite their extra-curricular activities. I\u2019m very pleased with the feedback we get from school and the results of their national literacy exams. They also spend a bit of time achieving their piano grades, thanks to the encouragement of Sharon Roy \u2013 their piano tutor.<\/p>\n<p>As for me, well, I have completed 3 of the 5 required certification exams on my way to becoming an Oracle Certified Professional (OCP). Two more exams to go, a lot of candles to burn and books to read. Add to that &#8211; cramming knowledge on Legato and BMC Patrol while learning Tru64. (Everyone understood all that blah\u2026 right?) Why am I doing this? \u2013 On October this year, I was promoted to a Senior DBA (Database Administrator) at ACNielsen.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rommelpascual.com\/20011201\/pascual-family-news-2001\">Originally published as part of the Pascual Family News 2001.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeanne as I have alluded, is the secretary of the Harana Band.
