It's our 3rd day into the GIS appreciation training and Abel from Butuan is lecturing on the podium. The training program saved the best module for last - GIS Query and Use of Tables. Nobody wanted to have lunch because we were all engrossed in the exercise Abel had us do. I guess the topic was saved for last because we wouldn't have appreciated the topic if we had not taken up the map viewing and editing data exercises. Although our maps got lost often in the last 2 days of training because of innocently tapping buttons, we immensely enjoyed doing the exercises and redoing everything once we get the hang of it.
The 3rd day proved to be the most enjoyable because we got to manipulate the data in tables that are the attributes of the map that we have been painstakingly trying our best to destroy. It's a good thing that the provincial boundaries are set or else I could have moved Camiguin to Lanao. Both Governors Romualdo and Dimaporo would have gone beserk at the thought. The 3-day training not only introduced me to the wonders of GIS but the 3-day training also added gross inches to my waistline and weight. Yup, the amount of food I consumed in the last 3 days equaled to the amount of knowledge I gained. It's a good thing we end today or I would not fit in the doorway anymore.
