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.
