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...

I think GOD made it so...
DISORIENTED...
I'm still into it until now. It was just last night that I heard about three or four gun shots nearby the road I am walking and discovered that a man had been shot on the same site that time.
Last night was no ordinary night for me. I am just thankful that I got addicted to the new game I downloaded that I made my time-in at work late.
It was already past 8:30 in the evening. I am hurriedly walking the path to school when I heard a big BANG. I got alarmed yet I still continue doubling my pace since I'm already late for work. I had a couple of steps when again I heard another BANG three times. Though hurrying for work, I slow down my pace and looked around me. No one is around me yet I can sense that something is wrong nearby. I walked slowly until a car then a motorcycle passed by and people are already in site. I thought there was a fight nearby since a lot of people were there - faces were curious. To avoid any accidents or anything that will put me in between the fight, I waved for a motorcycle so I can have my escape to whatever bad incident that is happening on that path that night.
When we reach the scene, chill flows down right on me seeing the blood-bathe body laying flat on the ground, downfaced. That was the time that I realized I must have witnessed the shooting, even worse, I could have been shot also if ever I have left the house earlier.
I reached school unharmed yet I am disoriented that the fact that I must have seen the culprit without knowing it. I pity the guy for his fate. I don't know if he survived or died. But I am praying that he live. I have no idea why the shooting happened, who was the bad guy or the good guy but there is only one thing I want - I want to not experience that incident again. It's horrible! It's frightening...
I am just thankful that I made it late last night. I think God really has his own purpose on doing things we may not like but in the end will thank HIM for that...

Floating Images
As a routine work before starting my day at the Com Lab, I browsed Yahoo for news. There I saw the floating camera shots of this certain Japanese woman named Natsume Hayashi.At first look, the photos seemed eerie. Yet, it made me remember the goddess in the Chinese movie The Promise .
I have seen photos of people jumping which they called "jump shot" and when you're good enough with your hands then you can really capture people floating in the air. But this ones different. they are really floating like the ghosts in Asian horrors, yet, they are not that frightful, yet they're freaky a li'l bit but , I really liked it.
She called theses shots as Levitation photos...
Hmmmm... I wonder if she got bruises after jumping several times to have such majestic shots? I wish I could get in touch with her. I really want to be influenced with people of talents...weee

Without Anyone to Lean On - I've Made it!
Looking back in college, It was always stressful for me when it's time for programming or coding. I am really honest to say that I am very very poor in programming (I am the worst programmer ever!). Well at least I admit it than pretend to be someone I am not.
OK, programming. Encoding series of codes in order to come up a system. Making a system takes a lot of analysis and coding (I hate the latter!).
Way back in college, when I have no choice but to make my own program, I have to tap several shoulders in order to come up a system, not excellent but functional but not fully-functional. I am just lucky that our instructors gave points even to unfinished systems (grin). Aside from tapping shoulders for help, I also tap great minds and fast fingers to code the system for me (laugh). I am dependent to our classmates with exceptional programming abilities. I usually seek help by asking for some codes from them and edit it for my own system. I am kind of person who recycles codes. yes I am.
In order to make a system, I must have someone to help me make it...
But...
Just last month, I wa shocked of myself that I completed a fully functional system for the HRD office. I called it EIS or Employee Information System. Well, actually it was made in the Microsoft Access platform. It's just like the Visual Fox Pro but is more user friendly an more object oriented. All you have to do is drag htan drop then assign function and TADA! you have yourself a system to use. Very simple as long as you have a Microsoft Access 2007 or any MS Access version installed in your PC then you can make a system within a minimum of 60 minutes.
here's what I have made...
1. The switchboard form:
2. The Employee Information form:
3. Then the Request form:
The said system can also print reports for employee information, Requests and Birthdays...
It's an accomplishment for me... weee ^^
Hope to really encode and develop such system in the future wherein I am the one who really think of the code to encode...

Summer Class Teaching Experiences
Summer classes has ended. I am now at the Computer laboratory of the school where I am teaching preparing for my syllabus fo rthe first semester. Out of the blue, thoughts about my experience for the last two months flashes back to me.
I remembered going to class for the first time as an instructor for my BSED1 ICT class. I was trembling back then, unable to cope up in taming the butterflies in my stomach. I stuttered, stuttered and stuttered. I can't even say the correct term for such word. I don;t know how to say things the way it was used to say. I'm speechless. I'm covered with sweat and my palms are frozen - as cold as ice. I can feel my ears - they're hot and seems like they're red. I can feel my face sweel of heat (I know I'm blushing...) I am shy. Actually I am not prepared to face my first students back then.
As I think of those things right now, I just had to smirk remembering those funny events in my life this past few months. At least, I have learned something from that first encounter and I learned to be confident a little more right now.
Life is a matter of change. We are changing constantly. Though we are not that aware of it, but when we look back, everything seems very different...^^

MY VERY FIRST STUDENTS
"In anything you do, there's always a first".
This saying seemed too old that I don't even know who made it. Yet,that the saying means is very clear. AS clear as the starry skies at night and as clear as the blue calm sea in the morning.
My first time to teach - my first students...
It is always a pleasure for me to meet such wonderful creatures. They seemed like high school kids though but what I really like about them is that the seemed-to-be childish attitudes and most specially young faces had a lot of hardships endured.
I have been to college and I have been a student once in my life yet, I did not experience such hardships they are enduring right now. Well, I'm not saying I did not experienced hardships when I was in college but things such as - loaning money to instructors just to pay the tuition fee, maintaining grades 85 and above not to be kicked out of the scholarship program and working 8 hours a day just to support their education is out of my league when I was in college.
I feel for them, very much. Then, I have two of my students who forced to drop their subjects because they can't afford to pay the tuition anymore.
Now, I understand why some of them can't absorb and internalize what I am discussing because they are ?TIRED?
Hmmm... I don't know. I may be boring like a bug keep on buzzing while discussing the topics for the day...
Am I making sense here? I just keep on typing random words...
But, well, They are my first students...

Micky in an Epic TV Series
Hmmm...
It's been a while since I last seen Micky (former member of TVSQ, current member of JYJ)on videos. I think, this is the reason why I am eager to watch his first TV series 'til the end.
Sung Kyun Kwan Scandal - that was the title of this very TV series. I had watched until, I think, episode 2??? Dang! I forgot but I haven't forgotten the last scene I saw.
By the way I copied the series' synopsis from koreandrama.org and it goes like this:
Sungkyunkwan Scandal is set in Sungkyunkwan University in the late Joseon era during the reign of King Jeongjo, revolving around the exploits and love stories of four youths. When her younger brother’s illness worsens and their family is in danger of being evicted from their house for lack of money, Kim Yoon Hee enters the school under his name, disguised as a boy in her desperation to support him. There, she becomes friends with the intelligent and upright Lee Sun Joon, the playboy Goo Yong Ha and rebellious Moon Jae Shin.
The moment I spotted this series @ Youtube, I got addicted and I even forgot to make the topic for my next lesson at school... weeee...
I wish I could finish watching this show...It's nice, really nice.
