merkal2005: Hi Jerric Ferrer(Jeferrer), please tell us something about yourself. Where are you from? What is your purpose in life?

jeferrer: My full name is John Eric Ferrer. I am a 34 year old Filipino, living in Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines. I earned my degree in an applied physics from University of the Philippines and have spent almost 10 years in the semiconductor industry. I shifted to IT specifically in the in the field of web development six years ago. I took on numerous jobs in the field--from Network Administrator, Multimedia Developer, IT Teacher to a IT School Center Manager. I recently left my managerial job to start my own Web Design Company.

I am currently reading Rick Warren's, "The Purpose Driven Life" and I believe that my sole purpose here on earth is to "Give Glory to God!"


merkal2005: How did you come up with your blog idea? Do you like blogging?

jeferrer: My idea is to create a blog where readers learn something new or to provide an interest in something they haven't given much thought. My current blog, the other side of the monitor, is aimed at readers who are yet to explore the internet as a marketing resource for their brick and mortar business. It is my first attempt at blogging so clearly I am still finding my way. However, I am recently being opened to the idea of blogs becoming the most effective marketing sites or tool in the internet. Having been in the web development industry for quite a while, my interest is now shifting from web marketing/development to blogs.


merkal2005: What are your 2008 goals? What will you do to achieve them?

jeferrer: My main goal for this year is to refocus the content of my blog. I've been doing a lot of reading and research lately and am still in the process of listing down the detailed deliverables so I'll just keep you posted with this one. I am giving myself the 2nd week of january 2008 to list everything down.
