Steve Jobs= IPad, IPhone, McBook... NEXT Inc., APPLE...
This was the Steve Jobs that we know. One of the most influential people in the world especially in terms of technology. He had made a great impact to the way people work and play. There's a lot of lessons to learn from him. A drop-out becomes CEO...
It's sad but Steve's life has encountered the blue screen of death just like any computers. Jobs' death was announced by Apple yesterday(October 5, 2011 - Wednesday). At the age of 56, jobs retired not just in his position but in his life. If given such long life,it is sure that he can provide another technology one can't ever imagine just like what he did.
Jobs death was a great loss not just to people who are close to him but to the entire world which he change through technology...
Rest peacefully Steve...

Losing Her
I was a bit shocked as my sister texted me last July 25 saying that Grandma died. I asked myself how? though, she's this thin, little woman, yet I am sure she's not sick or whatsoever. She's already 80 years old and I thought it is just so early for her to leave this world.
I am not close to her, honestly. It was this feud we have in our family that started over this. the nonsensical jealousy my mother's siblings have in our family. I don't know why they are mad at us - especially to papa. He had done nothing wrong to them. he even helped them get good jobs but they just lose those jobs because of such vices which my father doesn't approve.
Though, we are considered as NOT PART of the family,I still considered her as my LOLA. I have a lot of good memories with her, too. Losing her hurts me too, though I haven't shed a single tear seeing her lying inside the coffin. Her expression shows that she's agonizing in her deathbed. Her face doesn't show a happy and contented life. She's hurting inside and I can see it in her face.
Though not close to her, I can still remember her visiting the Day Care Center where I studied and giving me 2 peso coins for "merienda" or she will be at the Day Care's door waiting for me holding the banana cue in one hand. There are times that I'm not in the mood to go home, I simply skip the afternoon session at the Day Care Center and went to my grandparents house and have my siesta there. Well, even though those were vague memories, still, I can remember her face smiling at me and her subtle voice every time she speaks to me.
But all those memories have sunked and buried...
She doesn't even want anybody to be near us.
Why does she despise us so much?
We haven't done anything wrong.
We just live our life uprightly...
My heart had been filled with hate since then. I know she doesn't like my father and not even care much for her very own daughter - my mother. I have a lot of questions, only her can answer. But those things would be buried with her...

Happy Teacher's Day!!!
Ma'am,Miss, Sir, Teacher...
Mao ni atong tawag sa ila. Mga tao na dili nato ig-unsa pero dako kaayo ug impluwensya sa atoa. Sila and nagtudlo sa atoa sa numero, alpabeto,pagsulat, pagbasa, pagsayaw, pagtula... Ug dili lang kana and mga nahimo aning mga tawhana, isa pud nagmugna kung kinsa man ta sa karon. Sila ang atong mga Maestro ug Maestra.
Nakahinumdom ko sa una sa akong pagkabata, naa sa trabaho sila mama ug papa ug ako ibilin lamang sa Day Care Center. Didto nako nailhan ang akong pinakaunang maestra maliban sa akong ginikanan - siya si ma'am Sarsuelo...
Sa iya nako natagamtaman ang igong kahadlok kung magsaba na. Kay siya manili gyud ug baba kung saan kaayo ka... Siguro tungod ato na disiplina medyo dli pud ta karon pasaway...
Naabot ko ug elementarya ug sekundarya, nakailaila ang si bisan kinsang mga maestro ug maestra. Silang tanan nakutloan ko ug mga leksyon dili lang sa pageskwela kundi mga leksyon pud sa kinabuhi...
Sa batang edad, nakahinuklog ko sa kalisod na buluhaton isip sa isa ka magtutudlo ug saludo kaayo ko sa ilaha ug gipangarap kung na unta mamahimo akong usa sa ilaha. Pero, adunay mga panahon na madiskorahe ko na mahimong usa ka matutudlo tungod lang pud sa mga wala pulos na magtutudlo... Busa nilihis ko ug plano kay dili ko gusto mapareha sa mga ingon niato na mga magtutudlo...
But I realized that not all teachers are of the same kind... Some people are just like that. I never thought that the dream I have when I was young would be realized... i still do salute teacher, my mentors, my instructors... they are one of the people who mold me to be who I am right now...
Busa Ma'am, Sir, Happy Teacher's Day!
You are the best mentors i ever have...
By the way, Thanks ASEO for The Token!!! weee. This is my first token for Teachers Day!!!! Mwah!

An Amazing ?Rootcrop?
I was just browsing Yahoo Korea search engine when an article struck my attention. (To read the whole article click here)
Héshǒuwū (何首乌)or Polygonum - the plant's name.
It is just a normal plant that anyone can hardly notice but when you pluck it up to its roots, YOU WILL BE AMAZED to see a human like replica rootcrop! It is like a sculpture of a human- has eyes, nose, mouth, ears and even genitals. I don't know if this kind of plant really has root crops like the one below but it seems every pictures posted on the site where I got it are all the same, except others are in a sitting position (laugh)
As to what I had understood, this plant is used as a medicine in China and can be taken for long life. It is also good for detoxification, since it is a good laxative. it also a good medicine for itch and can help lower cholesterol level.(http://www.zwbk.org/zh-tw/Lemma_Show/105046.aspx)
The plants root crop is not just the one who is amazing but the whole plant is. Hmmm, but what intrigued me is this...
