Welcome to The Four-eyed Journal

Kamusta? That means “Hello, how are you?” in Filipino. I’m Julius Rocas, you can call me Jhay, and I write the Four-eyed Journal.

This is my pseudo-personal blog where I share my thoughts, experiences, insights, helpful tips and occasional rants about technology, the web, health news or issues and even politics with the aim of contributing to people’s understanding and appreciation of these topics and how they could improve their lives with it. It may seem to sound a lot and a bit chaotic, blame this on my inter-disciplinary training, but this is how I like to look at things: from different perspectives so that we would know how to best approach such things when the time comes.

My other interests include history, philosophy, governance and politics, theater arts, indigenous/ethnic music, film and photography, books and Japanese anime.

I started blogging back in November of 2005. In June of 2006 I was blessed with this cool .com.ph domain for free in recognition of my positive blogging potential, keeping faithful to my mission of helping people understand and appreciate the web, technology, health and biology.

At present I’m taking up my undergraduate degree in Human Biology at the De La Salle University - Dasmarinas, Philippines. My social and extra-curricular involvements include the following:

• Secretary-General of SENTRO Political party, a student political party that is duly recognized by KALIPI or Kabataang Liberal ng Pilipinas and KABATAAN party-list
• Head of the Education and Advocacy Committee of SERVE Volunteers and consultant to the Parish Youth Ministry, Nuestra Senora de Candelaria Parish, Silang in the province of Cavite.
• Presiding Officer of the Municipal Youth Development Council of Silang, Cavite
• Head of the Advocacy and Social Awareness Committee of the University Student Council of DLSU-D.

In a nutshell, here are the things I do

• Writer/Researcher for various fields like biotechnology, environment, health sciences, history and social sciences.
• Trainer for leadership, team-building seminars, organizational development and performing arts workshops.
• Consultant - organizational planning and development, policy and strategy making and evaluation.
• Advocacy and social engineering.
• Community service and development.

Additionally, you can view my online profile/resume via my LinkedIn profile.

My online engagements and projects include:

• Web Master for LIFE (Lasallian Institute For the Environment)
• Genshiken La Salle (An Anime-based interest organization in DLSU-D)
