Good day!

During this Christmas break, I’ve got nothing to do and just watch some of my DVD’s. My mother bought me several DVD’s while I was with her joining her to buy some of her koreanovelas, I ran across some Detective Conan DVD’s and told my mom to buy me some of those, and I had asked the person-incharge of the DVD’s if they had the Supernatural series, since I kind of like to watch it. Since prior to me buying the DVD, I watched maybe 2 episodes and kind of liked those episodes, it was about hunting down a ghost-killer and the other one was the season 1 finale, but I didnt know it yet. So, this Christmas break, I got a chance to watch the series, and I got hooked.

Looking at it, the series might look like having a devilish feel, but they quite explained all of the symbolism they have used, they hunt down demons not become one of them. In fact, the main plot of both the season 1 and season 2 was killing the demon Azazel who killed the Winchester brothers Mom. Dean Winchester and Sam Winchester are the main cast of the series, the series began with the demon killing their mom then, after 22 years their Dad had trained them to become hunters, and when the series started, their dad was closing in to the demon that killed their mom, so their dad is no-where-to-be-found, but he is watching his son’s progress.

Another story is that Sam Winchester is a Psychic and the demon wanted him to be his soldier, but I’m not going to spoil the fun here, Sam can see the future, he has premonitions but he can still learn to have more powers like persuasion, demon control, mind control, telekinesis and such. What I really liked about the series, is they have created a very good story line and plot. I mean, they are entertaining, as well, as you can learn mythology and ghost stories; They even used the Bloody Mary curse as the second episode, and made sure that the pentagram (the symbol thought to be as satanist) is not really pure satan, they used it to be a Devil’s trap, meaning they can trap any demon inside the pentagram, thus the series logo.

Non timebo mala” as my post title says, it means “I fear no evil“, encrypted on the shows main weapon to ward of the demon Azazel, not ward but to Kill. The main villian was pretty good, he can not be bothered by Holy water and was pretty smart, he knows if he is entering a devil’s trap, so, only the Colt (a revolver made by Samuel Colt, a demon hunter and gun maker) can kill the demon, it was made to have only 13 bullets and must be used carefully and can kill anything. They keep on talking about eternal damnation and hell as being not a very good place, even for a demon; giving it a nice message about not going to hell, and they even believe in God and Angels, as they gave an entire episode to this kinds of things.

Heroes

December 9, 2007

Heroes the Series…

Oh, I really really really love this series. I’m not really that person that follows series so close, that I really need to watch them after they had just been released. I usually wait for all of the episodes and watch it all at once. But this series really got the best of me, the plot is so cool and they have powers too, which makes it cooler.

It’s really addictive, watching this series. The powers they have are really cool, and the plot is really not close to those with the same genre (i.e. X-men and Mutant X). They do have powers like those of X-men, but still the plot is not the same, nor it is close. Their villain in the first episode is a serial killer of people like them, so he can have their powers, and on the season two, the villain is most likely still him and a eternal being (he has the power of regeneration, which he regenerates his cells, and be able to live for 400 years *OMG*).

Most likely, the heroes have the same powers as that of X-men, except no one of them has the power to shoot laser beam from their eyes. They have the person with the power of Katie Pride which is DL, with the power of Phasing; the power of Wolverine to Adam Monroe and Claire; the power of rogue to Peter; even the power of flight given to Nathan. They have the same powers but have a more in depth to what is happening now plot. With even elections and cheating on elections, as what Micah and Candice did.

Watch this series. Its really good.

SSG Outing

September 24, 2007

Yeah right, Im the only legislative officer that is also an ITE officer who had a title of the SSG Executive Board Staff, i didnt really even know why I dragged myself into this. I started being in the SSG Executive Board work, i think it was during the nutrition month. But prior to that, I was a no body in the field of work in the student body, I just joined a leadership summit of the SSG: my main reason? Laptop. The SSG needs my laptop for the leadership presentations, so I went there, knowing no one, but the ITE Officers. After that summit, it was back to the real world and then, the SSG called for a meeting about the nutrition month, so, being a good sport, I went there… That meeting changed my student body work, after that meeting, that’s the beginning when I made the SSG Office my "Tambayan" in the annex campus. It was Arbie who pulled me into working in the SSG Executive board, back when the legis and exec had a meeting together, she was the one who made me stay there and listen to the exec’s meeting, and she made me her co-internal vp.. ahahaha..

Anyways, ill go back to the outing. I was the only Legislative who was with the Executive during the Intramural-Evaluation and Outing of the SSG. Actually, it was more on 5/6 outing and fun & 1/6 work. It was really fun, during the night swimming, we played "anak-anakay" and talked about work in the jacussi side of the pool. Then, sleeping time, me and arbie were the last person to sleep, because of Prison Break, then she slept first, I turned off all my gadgets and slept beside her, on the floor (feeling clean). Most of us slept for only 3 hours then we ate and had an hour to discuss the evaluation then morning swimming, we just practiced diving and summer saults… (Kanang Hambugera dira, ahahaha, you may know who you are, magpatudlo og dive mas maau pa sa amoa, magsummersault, mas limpyo magexecute).

Anyways, it was really fun. Now, there are 2 things on my mind, 1 is: ITE President or SSG External VP???

Intramural Reflection

September 9, 2007

First site of Intramurals, All I hear is "Dapat machampion ang IT karon", And what’s in my mind is Ill do my best so that I can help ITE, since I am now an Officer of the ITE Program. So oh well..

It was not until during a meeting of the Legislative Board and Executive Board that changed my Intramural life. Arbie (SSG-Internal VP) picked me as a partner for the Screening committee and will also help her in her endeavors during the Intramurals, so I voluntarily agreed; on the other hand Raphael (SSG-External VP) also picked me as his partner for the Ways and Means committee. *Whoo* Two SSG VP’s wants me to be a part of them *Flattered*. So, with the three of us fighting for a partner, we agreed that all 3 of us will be a part of both committees.

Being part of the Screening committee really gave me a head ache. Imagine looking at all the Medical Certificates of all 10 programs of the school and counting all of them. But then, Arbie gave a boost up saying that it will be the only tiring work of the Screening committee. Ways and Means really didnt gave me quite a problem, we had only to find some Companies that will be our sponsors for some events of the Intramurals.

Being part of the Working Committee gives some great privileges, Free Food and Drinks during the Intramurals, Free T-Shirt Printing (a good design too) and Exemption during the attendance checking. Disadvantages are also there including NO CHEERING for your Program *grrr*. Oh well…

Afterwards, the Intramurals was started and ended good and fine. Eng’g still won which garnered them their 11th year as champion, ITE came in second. These two program was fighting really good, Eng’g won by just 2 gold medals. Rhea (2007) stated that "Dawat-dawat nalang".

UIC Intramurals 2007 garnered me really fun times, and gave me so many Friends. In the future, I will have CPA Topnotcher friends, Media friends and even some Eng’g friends. Hope so.. Good luck sa inyo.

GMA vs. ABS-CBN

March 10, 2007

The battle of the big industries in TV networking. GMA or ABS-CBN.

This two big industries had made history and thus they want to know who is better. They make game shows, sitcoms, news programs, documentaries and so much more, just to gain ratings and be well-known to people sorrounding the Philippines.

What we all know is that they only immitate each other on what is rating more in the other network. If GMA has their own name of Kapuso, ABS-CBN also has their own version, which is Kapamilya. While ABS-CBN has a high rating of their own fantasy telenovela, which they say is first in TV history; GMA also made their first in television history, which is the comedy telenovela which is also a parody of the fantasy telenovela of the ABS-CBN.

They even compete in giving service to people. They even file cases on each other when they "tell" that the other network had "stolen" their video documentary or news video. But even though their doing that to each other. They are still "one" in the views of the news, just not when they have an "Exclusive" seal in their exclusive content.

Overall, eventhough they are against each other in their shows, we are still watching them back and forth on our tv. Its just they have shows which we like and not.

Who are best in Programming? Men or Women?

March 7, 2007

Who are best in Programming? Honestly, its hard to say whether Men or Women are good in programming.

It doesn’t need to be based on gender but on the learnings of that person. Its either that a person really wants to be a programmer and studies for it or just because its their subject in their course, in which, they will shift into another course. Being good in programming, doesnt need to be based on gender, but if thats the question, then Ill answer it.

Men are better in programming. Why? Their the ones who likes to be infront of the computer whole day, even when their eyes are growing bright red and their eye bags are getting big. Their the ones who goes infront of a computer if they dont have anything to do. But, its either programming or games that they will be attending to.

Analyzation is another thing in knowing best in programming. I cant really say who are best in analyzation, but who ever they are. They are the best in Programming.

Windows OS vs Linux OS!

March 6, 2007

Windows OS vs Linux OS. Thats like differentiating from Completely Expensive OS to a Completely Free OS.

Actually, in todays age, we kind of crave for something free and user-friendly. Windows OS, are completely user-friendly in their features and their softwares are also user-friendly, but not all. Other than the user-friendly-ness , Windows OS shares the security of their internal code of the Operating System itself. Which means, we can’t directly change what was coded inside the Windows operating system. Windows is really quite building up to its usability, Windows was really designed as an operating system mainly use for work, thus the Microsoft Office Suite that came with the OS.

Linux, on the other hand. Is a developer type of Operating System, anyone who would like to change and modify its internal coding, can do it. Linux is distributed as a free OS, and developers can freely open the OS, without consulting from the maker (who is he anyway?). Linux also havent got that many viruses than Windows. Windows has approximately 144,000 viruses as of today and it is still counting. While Linux is still in development and those who makes the softwares also makes the viruses, who also makes the Virus Definition, who also makes the Virus scanners.

So, what were talking about is just their cost. Windows is a userfriendly OS but quite expensive (especially Vista) and Linux is a developer type OS that is completly a open-ware OS.     

God is good all the time!

March 5, 2007

God is Good all the time. He puts a song of praise in this heart of mine. God is good all the time. Through the darkest night, His light will shine. God is good all the time.

Well, that introduction was really a song entitle "God is good all the time". It was actually the first thing that came into my mind when I read the post title. And I have to make a post about God being good.

Acually, Im really having a hard time commenting on this kind of title. I mean, God is good all the time. Even when, He knows that we are sometime become unfaithful to Him, and even bring ourselves to temptation and then sin, God still care for us and He will bring us to a better place that even Satan cannot conquer us.

God is ever good. And He is ever lovable and we must be ever faithful to Him.

Amen. 

Philippines 20 years from Now!

March 3, 2007

Lets track back what Philippines is Now, before I could say anything that will relate to our country 20 years from now. Let’s see, the Philippines today is what we say, a very corrupt country, actually its the 2nd most corrupt country in the whole world. At least we have a rank of 2nd, we still cant make any firsts. Aside from being corrupt, we are suffering from mass poverty, still connects to the corrupt acts of the Filipino people. Philippines is very good in exporting and we are one of the top exporters of vegetables and goods, but importing is another story. We export many raw materials in other countries and we get processed canned food (which is made from our raw materials) and we have to pay double on what we exported. In short, Philippines is never good now, except for Sports.

Philippines 20 years from now may be very different. I mean, it will really be different but 20 years from now means 2027, and Im supposedly going to be a professional by that time. From the way I think about it, it will still be negative. Philippines may experience a very corrupt government, more from what it is today. Thinking about it, we could become first in the most corrupt list, since some of the corrupt countries are now going upwards on becoming honest (a little). Our law of supply and demand will still be intact, but we will still we will export raw materials to be imported back to us. Tourism may go down, since our prized possesion "The Hagdang-hagdang Palayan" is now, not very much taken care of.

Probablly we will still here the politicians words of promises, and promises are made to be broken. Whatever happens to the Philippines, it doesnt only mean that politicians are being back to their corrupt selves, but still we share the blame. Government officials and workers are having the most blames. Still, we should think about it. Will there still be a Philippines 20 years from now? Or will it become the 51st state of the USA? We hope so.  

They said “Men by nature always need something more!”

February 27, 2007

“Men by nature always need something more!” Did you say this? Did I say this? Then who did?

Men by nature always need something more. What thing? How much more? Nature? Am I included there? Is our Programming Teacher included there? Is my PK character included there? Or is it refering to all Men.

Honestly, i never heard of this saying. Nor has the net. I actually researched more about this kind of saying and I had been bad in searching since I did not find any actual results to collide with the saying. But as time passes on (in my watch its 11:47pm), I realized that this is actually quite true, not only to Men, but to all.

Whether we like it or not. We do crave for something more. Its because of Jelousy, greed and selfishness. We tend to get more than what is needed for us. We crave for something more delicious, strong, higher, easier or even mightier. Even if we dont need it, we would consider them as a need, thus the term "Need" in the sayings.

Why by nature? Because its our nature to crave and "need". If we have some low-end phones, we "need" high-end ones, because its the technology era. Whether we want to be a part of this or not. We are a part of it.

“Men by nature always need something more!”
