New toys

One of my nephews asked me if I could take him to the mall sometimes, he wants to buy something. So we went to the mall a day after. Well, he actually wants to buy toys just like other kids. I know how happy it is for a boy to have lots of new toys. I bought him two action figures of his favorite cartoon characters, one basketball and one educational toy. Well, he was very happy as expected. After he got home, I got a call from his daddy, and he thank me for that.

The modern "Lawnmower Man"

Are you familiar with the movie “The Lawnmower Man”? It is a story of a simple guy who happens to have an I.Q. close to imbecile, his job is lawn mower all the neighbors grass. A mad scientist saw this lawnmower guy and then decided to be one of his test dummy for his invention. Eventually, this guy accepted the offer of this scientist. At day time he lawn mower, at night he undergo the experiment. The scientist then injected this guy information that could make this lawnmower guy very genius, well he succeeded. By applying all information of the mainframe of a computer to this guy, from the I.Q. of an imbecile, he created an I.Q. of a genius.

Imagine your self being in that situation, I’m not telling that undergo the same thing because it’s just a myth. How about a brainwashed, effect of the unnecessary friends around you. Some people didn’t even notice that they are getting different as times gone by. Something that they are not used to be, like in the past you are not drinking alcohol but now due to fear that your friends might throw you away, you are now like those alcoholic guys. How about on other things, the attitude, the manners etc. Does it bothers you?

Try to be you, try to be real. Do the things that you used to do, do not be affected of what others might say. As long as you can stand own your own, don’t be bothered. Being real is cool.

The art of photography

This when I went shopping, I saw this new camera that they are selling. It offers a lot all cool features. Like zooming, auto flash, cyber shot, etc. All features for a package of one and in a very affordable price. But there is some on display that intrigues me. There is camera that looks old style, bulky and it still using film strip. It has some accessories that is also bulky and yet the price is not cheap.

I ask the store manager about that camera, he told me that professional photographer preferred to use this kind of camera because it has the quality of being natural. Before you can get a the printed picture, the film must undergo the old process of developing. For me I think is very hard. I realized that these professional photographer uses this technique because the process is the art itself. Producing such high quality picture requires the hands of professionals, considering all the precious details. Preserving such details is hard to acquire if you are not skilled. In photography, details are the most important factor for it to be considered an art. And also, the picture itself must be unique in all aspect. For me there is nothing like the old process of producing such things, there is nothing more than the things that is made by hands.

Computer VS Human

Computer becomes widely popular in terms of their uses and capabilities. They tend to dominate some human workers because they are more reliable and much faster. Like for example in a car manufacturing company, all major jobs for the construction and assembly of a car computer interfaced machine do the job instead of using humans. They say that on that stage elimination of human workers and replacing them with computer aided machine makes the work even faster and also putting out the risk of human from getting injured. Only those on the assembly line which machine cannot do, human is placed. Which is in that place only few human worker are needed. Thus more and more people are loosing their job because of these computer.

But some company would prefer human worker doing their product, they say that there is nothing more genuine than a human touch. Like for example on this luxury car manufacturer, they use less machine. What they did is make their car all by hands. According to them each car is unique although they the same quality and in all aspect. It is because different hands made these cars, and of course different expertise on how they assemble these cars.

Computer can be a tool for crime and different illegal things. Some would hack on someones money and some would create indecent materials for doing illegal things. However computer alone is not bad, only the way of using it.  For me, many tools can be deadly if not properly use. Use them the right way and dont’ abuse things.

Welcome to the jungle

One of the common thing that a person coming from a province or a person moving to the city, is the adjustment between places. Moving to the city needs a lot of adjustment. You have to consider everything starting from your food to what you are going to wear. All is about spending money. A good job is necessary to sustain your everyday living, finding one is hard. Quality of living in the city is on a high standard, if you don’t have money, you cannot live. Unlike in the province, having a lot of friends is enough. If you have nothing to eat, your friends will provide you food. In the city making a lot of friends is easy, but finding a true one is hard. You will get too many friends in the city but only in times when you are seeing each other, most of the times you’re not.

Life inside the city is very fast, if you start the day with a lot of paper-works you won’t notice the day is just passing away. The next thing you will notice is it’s the end of the day. The circulation of the rules inside the city is controlled on by few powerful people, other population are just there to fill the city.

Destructive force of the jungle

As an ordinary person, these days becomes very hard. All the things revolving around me becomes pretty odd. It’s like living in world of fantasy and yet lots of problems.Everything is all about money, you have to produce your income in order for you to survive. Unstable you might say.

Back in the old days, making a living is easy. Just plant on the healthy ground then you will food to eat. Almost everything you need is just the reach of your hands. Nowadays, competition is getting tougher everyday. The growing technology is eating the morals of almost all youth, passed from generation to generation. Making a person able to access everything he wants, makes him a lot greedier than he used to be. Of course not all, but some. I’m not saying that technology is bad, what I’m saying is the way most people are using it. The power of technology is amazing, impossible back then becomes possible though the help of technology. Like for example if you like to win on a war, you have to acquire modern weapon of mass destruction.

Other technologies goal is to provide helpful services, like computer. But some are so greedy that they are using it to steal somebodies asset for example. How I wonder if all people is making modern technology then using that to promote good morals. And making sure that all of it impossible to use on a destructive measure.

My first blog

Hi, this is my first post. I never knew that blogging can get you to much friends. A good way of communicating other people thru blogging. I like making friends, so I think is good way of doing so. I’d never thought that this blogging would take to a whole new different world. A world that interconnects everyone by sharing ideas, thoughts, comments, etc. I have one blog in the past, but I didn’t got to much friends. Maybe because my topics was not related to others and no one likes being in that topic at all.

I’ve research about the different types of blog, hoping to find better topics that would make others follow you. Some would talk about technology, some about computer stuffs, some about health, etc. Finding a good and unique topic would take you a hard time. I don’t really on to that side, for me I like this blog to be pretty much me. I want it to be more personal, my personal insights about whats new in the concrete jungle.

On my succeeding post I will discuss lots of cool new stuffs about everything. Everything new in this world like technology, computer stuffs, education, health etc. My blog will be a general discussion about almost anything. I hope to see you, when I see you. Thank you very much.
