Religion is an unhealthy proposition to argue.

I don't argue about other's religion. You try to talk about it and argue with me, I would just let you talk and talk and say what you want but you would not even hear me insist what I believe in or anything for so.

I have a lot of friends with different religions, different beliefs. But when we all hang-out, that's the least issue to talk about or at least not even try to talk about it. I will only tell people what I believe in if they ask me. But forcing someone to believe in the things that I believe in is just not a good act.

Informing people that I am a Muslim, I was even asked, "So you're selling DVDs?". I just laughed and answered, "No. But if I am, are you going to buy?". Such a silly question, offensive but I still got to laugh at it. When issues came out about the killings and the bombings, it was so obnoxious to consider all Muslims, as in "ALL" Muslims as killers. Isn't that unfair? Or would it be fare when one person who is NOT a Muslim killed someone then Muslim call ALL NON-MUSLIMS as killers? But they do not think that way. It is also offensive to be called as Mohammedans. Muslims are NOT Mohammedans. They directly pray to Allah. When it comes to religion, I always consider myself as misunderstood when I go along with the people who does not know me or other Muslims so well. You can brag, talk anything you want about Muslim, but one thing is for sure, they will never argue with you because they are sensitive enough to understand those people who are so insensitive and narrow-minded. If only other people would have a knowledge about Islam, even just a little truthful knowledge about Muslim then they would not be considered as "misunderstood fellows".

This is what I always keep in mind, I believe that there is only one true God, you believe that there is a God and the bottom line is that we all believe in God and we have faith in Him.

A Gift

Last Thursday, Kuya Mik and Kuya Vener gave me a gift. It was a bag. So girly and I so like it! I already used it the day after I had it. :) It was as a Christmas gift. Though my family isn't celebrating Christmas, they still thought of giving me a gift. ^_^

I am really the boyish type like when I go to the office I always wear jeans and t-shirt blouse even with slippers. I only wear shoes when I feel using one, a girly shoes, but I don't consider myself as a lesbian because I am a real lady only that I am not into so much for the kikay thingy. :p I am always with men. My first work was with guys and so is what I am now and that I think that is the reason why I am acting like I'm one of the boys. Lols.

Road Trip

Traveling is something I really want doing. I have been when I was in college, but now that I should have the means and ways to do so, I rarely do it. Busy? Yeah! That probably the main reason.

Traveling is same thing as learning new things, socializing or mingling with people with different cultures. Same thing, I take pictures of the places I go to and the path that leads me to the place i'm heading on.

Two different looks of the road but it leads you to the same place.

Thoughts Behind Things

Everybody do really love taking pictures and so do I. But another thing that excites me the most about taking pictures? EDITING! Here are few of my works.

CRANE : THE PERSPECTIVE

This really has nothing to do with my life. It' just a matter of how I have viewed what has been happening in the world. It's full of chaos. Domination of red, blue and green where incorporated. RED represents WAR. BLUE represents HOPE. GREEN represents FAITH. The story was that, though war has been in control, still, people hopes that God will always be there guiding.



SCRIBBLE


This is where i took the name of my blog. For the years that I have been a student, the very thing that I hate doing is jotting down notes. I do have notebooks, I do have lots of pens but I use those as scribbling tools whenever i feel bored or disinterested in the subject matter.



MISERY


I took this pic during the lowliest day of my life. (EMO. lols) It just implies that even happy people do also feet sad and it's just that they don't show it of to the world that they also feel wretched.

Few Tarp Designs

These are just few of my works that I love looking at. Mixed vectorized images from the net using photoshop.

Converting Decimal to Binary and Binary to Decimal

Just learned a new trick from a colleague on how to convert decimal to binary and vise versa.


Determining the difference of binary with decimal:

• BINARY is the representation of number using only two digits, 1 and 0 (e.g 00001, 01001).
• DECIMAL are numbers in base 10 (e.g. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512).

Determining the decimal values in the fingers:

The values of each finger from the left index to the left pinky is the exponents of 2 (from 1 to 10). The right thumb contains the starting value which is 1.

Determining the binary values in the fingers:

Also, remember that 0 means off (deactivate) and 1 means on (activate).

Some examples:

1. Convert the decimal number "2" into binary digit.

The decimal value "2" is located at the right index therefore, activate "2" by opening your right index (don't mind the left fingers yet). Since it is the only number to be converted, then, the other fingers must be deactivated or closed. You now have 00010 as the binary of "2". (See image below.)




2. Convert the decimal value "6" to binary digits.

The decimal number "6" do not appear in the exponents of 2. So, you must have to add the answers of the exponents of 2 which are 2^1 = 2 and 2^2 = 4. 2 and 4 is equal to 6. Activate 4 and 2 in the positions of decimals in your finger, that would be 4 in the middle finger and 2 in the index. You now have 00110 as the binary value of "6". (See image below)





3. Convert the decimal 7 to binary.

1 (right thumb) + 2 (right index) + 4 (right middle finger) = 7. Activate your right thumb where 1 is located, activate the right index where 2 is located, activate the right middle finger where 4 is located. The other fingers must be deactivated.



Converting Binary to Decimal:

Always remember to start activating fingers from left to right so that if the given the binary value 10001101, then activate: right thumb, right middle finger, right ring finger and left middle finger and deactivate others. Now, add the the decimal values equivalent to the fingers that would make 131.

Typhoon Ondoy: The Hidden Anger, The Cry of the People

Afternoon of September 23, I checked my e-mails to get notified with the next lessons we shall be tackling in SAD and then I received a notification from our Prof. about a seminar to be conducted by JPCS in Manila on September 25 that was for free. Upon reading so, I really wanted to go but then, 24 has been my birthday and I scheduled a small party with friends to celebrate my birthday. Also, I don't have enough means to travel by then. If only I was informed earlier about it, I should have attended the seminar.

September 26, I was not able to come to work because we had an online conference with one of my subjects.The scenario was that, Now it's raining so hard and after a while it stops and then it rained harder. I was in front of my computer for half a day and decided to go out around 1 in the afternoon to visit a friend but my mother refused to let me go out so I didn't went out. While doing nothing, I opted to watch tv and so right then and there, I have seen how the typhoon had a massive destruction. Every person in Manila was busy saving their lives, their families. The flood is unstoppable of flowing in the streets until such time that the water has risen so fast and covered most of the houses that you could barely see nothing but people crying for help and people carried by flowing water but still seaking for hel at the very last moment.

That then on, i realized, God has saved me from the tragedy. If I was there, might be that I am one of those people thinking how to save my life.

For now, while watching the television, i can help myself by cry thinking if I were in their shoes, I should have also suffered the same thing, not knowing where to go, not knowing how to start all over again. But what had happened is a total awakening of what God wants to tell us, that we should know how to seek refuge to Him and not in material things.

Vacation.

It's been ... week? Since I have posted any updates about me. So here am I.

Actually have nothing much to say. Only that, I am now super addicted with facebook (yeah yeah, playing with farmville and farmtown). It was so much fun! That makes friendster out of my priority now. Lol! Just having fun though. ^_^

Vector Me

I had this for about four hours. The details are kinda hard to make but it's fun though.

The Bug Vector

I named this file as Vector - Bug and while saving it yesterday, one of my colleague said, "Bah, pati yun may pangalan." I wondered, and then realized the name "Victor". SheThought I was naming the bug as Victor. *Laughs*


Another vector i created. I just did a little filter in the background so it didn't take a while. Here it is.

ORIGINAL

VECTOR

My Very Fist Vector

I have had the chance of scrutinizing the faces of people. Harhar. I just thought of practicing how to create a vector images. I searched the net for an image - a face and I've got Many Moore. Yeah!

Presenting to you my very first vector.

I amstill in the process of learning the shadows and other details ofmy vector. Nevertheless, what I have not is so worth it. ^_^

Farewell.

This morning, I thought everything's gonna be fine. I went to work with a happy face just minding the heat of the sun - this day was really so hot! The sun was really wrecking my nerves. I set aside my bag but before I start working, I'm in a habit of checking first my phone to see if I have received messages that I wasn't able to read. And so I had one. I read the message comming from a friend, Faye, informing me of a shocking news. A friend of ours and a batchmate was found dead just early this morning. I didn't believe it at first. I still have to call faye to really confirm the news. Sadly, it was really true. Ton is gone. I never expected that June 3, 2009 will be the very last day na magkamustahan kami. And I don't even forget his very last words with me and the spot that I never realized i'll be last seeing him. Sa tuwing pumupunta ako sa SPUP, siya ang lagi kong nakikita. Walang mintis! Hindi ko matake na pag punta ko ulet sa dun, hindi ko na siya makikita.

Ton is really a good friend. Sobra! Hindi siya maarte. Pihikan lang. Mapili. Ganun siya. Haay. Mmimiss talaga kita. Hindi ko inaasahan na igagawan kita ng tarp. Isang tarp ng pagpapaalam. San ka man ngayon, you're safer now pare. Mamimiss ka ng lahat.

Working Experience.

Few days ago, I was bothered and thinking what job do I want to enter myself into. Something that I enjoy doing. There were a lot of options I have to choose from but to choose something that suits me is the toughest decision making that I have to go through.

During the break, I was busy roaming around our place, savoring the times realizing that I could now freely go to places I want to go to. Those days that I roam around from one place to another, an ad always attracts my attention but I didn't even dare take time to pay attention into it. Until such time that I just decided to try to apply and there I was! hired as a Graphic Artist and this day marks my first week in my work. I actually am not into how much I would earn. It's actually how do I get along with my employer and with the people I work with. And for the days I am working with them, I may really say I am loving my work and I love the people I am working with. It's like I've been working there for months now. I easily got along well with them and I love how they are treating me. These people easily accepted me in their family. Kuya Vince, who had taught me first on the things that I should do. Kuya Mon also who assists me when Kuya Vince isn't around, sadly I couldn't spend more time asking him stuff on the things I that I don't know and missing the crazy stuff that he fondly do because he had just left his work this day (don't even ask why already). Also with Kuya Bernie whom I get to laugh with his crazy jokes, Ate Sheng, Ate Roan, Ate Kathy and Mari and Kuya Robert that I rarely get to talk to. These people whom I really love spending time with. They do crazy stuff that I also do. Laughs and appreciates small things.


Each day that I deal with this people. It makes me realize that each person really has a story to tell and each story is unique. More days to go and more stories I have to know.

Teaser.

Last night, I was surfing the channels to look for something interesting to watch over with. So I came up viewing Braniac. There was this brain teaser being raised, it asked: Have you ever been thinking about nothing? And that really was one good question huh.

I smiled when I heard the question. I came to ponder about that because most often than not, when I ask my friends about what they are thinking, they would easily respond with "Wala lang." Honestly, I do that to. *laughs*

Seminar-Workshop: BLOGGING

Yey! I made it, alright! (I hope?) Haha.

This morning, I was invited to talk and give a workshop about blogging. I was so nervous thinking I might not deliver the topic well and that I might not be able to meet their expectations but this morning it surely turned out well.

They were just fourteen in the group. They were so nice to deal with. They were so eager to learn how to blog especially so when they heard me saying they could be able to earn money from blogging.

One funny thing that had happened while I was discussing was that the current suddenly went off. The group was kinda upset thinking the current might not resume quickly but it just took a while though.

The simple yet one great achievement that I could have is when I share what I know and other people appreciates that. And that's what I love doing the most. Their simple Thank You's and even their simple gestures of appreciation is enough to say, "Hey, I did a good job and I'll make it better next time."

*SITM Group: Guys, thanks for listening. Hope I had shared much this day. Just keep posting, aryt! ;p

Tired.

This day, I just accompanied my sib in her orientation. 'Twas so tiring cause I've been siting and just listen all day long but there where breaktime though.

At the moment. I'm doing my talk for the seminar tomorrow. Whew! It'll be my first time to hold a seminar. Kinda nerve wrecking but of course it'll just like be discussing a topic infront of a class. Hopefully it'll turn out well. ;p

Updates about that? You'll know tomorrow.

*hope i'll gonna get a pic ;p

Burger please, to go.

Uh oh! I think i'm craving for burger.
I love eating burger, especially, burger McDo. ^_^
I just love the regular burger among the rest. ;)

Hmmm? I wonder, just how many people eat burger a day?

What is WEBLOG?

I had started blogging since... Hey? Since when did i actually start blogging? Haha. Actually, I have been blogging using friendster and multiply. At first, I didn't actually know what the heck I was doing there and the bigger question was, WHAT IN THE WORLD IS BLOG?

At first I didn't mind searching for the word (referring of course to "BLOG") and knowing what it means. I created one not knowing how to use it and what stuff should I place there. Until one time, someone asked me what a blog is and how is it working. I answered "uhmm, err... not so sure, an online diary? *laughs*"

Just recently, I pondered on what the word WEBLOG means for me so I came up with this.

WEBLOG:

• World where anything and everything is possible.
• Exclusively for everyone.
  
• Book that is open to all.
• Language for writers, artist, readers, and all.
• Open-ended.
  
• Gives way to fame.
  

My blog is actually... self-conveyed, a journal. Whenever I get bored, want to express or share my thoughts or feelings or even when I wanna talk to someone but I have no one to talk to, I just put on my pc and start blogging.

Writing isn't actually what I do. But it helps. Alot. It's my outlet. My only way out!

First Call

Huwow! So that's how it feels when a company calls you up for an interview because your application was qualified. ;p Kewl!

I'm actually up to seeking for a job right now and I'm really a novice for it. I always get the open-ended question "Why will we hire you?". Kinda simple question but it's a tough one though.

But, I came to think, it only takes one unique answer for such question.

.
.

so, WHY DO YOU THINK THEY WOULD HIRE YOU? :)

MAGULONG BUHAY

Minsan talga kahit gusto mo sa tahimik na buhay, meron at meron paring gugulo sa iyo. At pag dumating nga yung oras na yun, haay.. "look ka na lang sa sky at ibaba ang kilay, sabayan mu pa ng tawa!"

Ay naku! d ko alam kung bakit pagsapit ng 2009 puro away na lang. May nagagalit sa akin ng d ko naman alam kung anong pinanghihimutok ng buchi iya. Naisip ko na lang siguro... insecure lang siya kasi... mas maganda ako sa kanya! ahahaha (naman! naman! naman!)

IQ > EQ = PATHETIC

You need not to memorize everythig that's in your book. what you only have to do is to understand. Yes it may be that you are intelligent but you may still be idiot. Accept the fact that you aren't still enough to bring us down. You may not want to reach us now but mind you, when the day comes that i'll be reaching what you are at the moment, i'll never ever be doing what you are doing. You are just messing yourself and making things worst. Those people around you whom you thoughtyour "friends" hahaha funny cause they just laugh at your back.

Nobody is agianst you personally, it's you who's pushing as towards fighting you back. You taught us to fight back. Just think of the way you talk to us or even your gestures.. it shows. As i have told you when i'm being disrespected, i'll never show respect too! You can never manipulate me. You may tell yourelf you're more intelligent but i'm telling you now, that's just in IQ but YOU ARE NOT when it comes to EQ!

Comment!

I dont think that really answers the problem when it comes to our education system. It's not a reason na kapag dinagdagan ang taon para mag-aral ee mas madami ka ng matututunan. Dapat na pagtuunan ng pansin ee yung mga nagtuturo. Give them proper training pra maturuan nila ng tama yung mga tulad namin. Sa mga institutions, dapat naman sana i-screen nila ng mabuti ang mga kinukuha nilang TEACHERS or INSTRUCTORS kasi sila ang nagmomold sa mga students to become better and productive individuals. Kung pahahabain niyo pa yung taon ng pag-aaral ng college or even highschool you'll just make things so *unbelievable*. Many shall stop and get a job rather than spending much years in school. Mas pahihirapan niyo lang ang mga parents na kumita ng pera. Make other options sana. As i have said nga, the problem isn't just the students but also those institutions who hire teachers who aren't capable to teach the subjects and wasn't even trained to teach or so doesn't have the code of ethics kaya nagkakandawalaan ang mga estudyante. Students kept on paying them and the school kept on earning. Yun pa pala ang problema din. Education nowadays is highly commercialized. Punta ka nga sa public pero student's are just fifty percent prepared for their future after they graduate kasi naman may murang school nga pero sandamakmak naman ang nandun. Kaya wether private or public school man marami pa ring problema. Haayz.. summing it all up:


Teachers should have proper training and well educated (with ethics) to guide the students for their future and for them to become productive because we spend most of our time in school but we aren't still guided properly by the schools we are into. Students should also do their job and study well. Parents too should guide their children.



*paulitulit lang yan kasi may kailangang gisingin!Ü buti na lang nasingit yang issue this year hahaha

YOU SHOULD!

Principles:


A teacher should MOTIVATE not DEGRADE!
A teacher should SHOULD SET ASIDE with his students from his being as a teacher.
A teacher should GUIDE students.
A teacher should TRAIN AND DEVELOP INDIVIDUALS to be productive.
A teacher should RESPECT his students if he wants them to respect him as of course, respect begets respect.
A teacher should be an EDUCATOR of GOODWILL.
A teacher should be JUSTIFIED!
A teacher should be DEMOCRATIC and NOT AUTOCRATIC.
A teacher should SHARE KNOWLEDGE and NOT KEEP & RUIN KNOWLEDGE.
A teacher should be CAPABLE ENOUGH TO EDUCATE.
A teacher should be A MODEL.
A teacher should be REALISTIC and NOT TECHNICAL.
A teacher should UNDERSTAND.
A teacher should be APPROACHABLE.
A teacher should be CONSIDERATE in his student's needs.


One factor why a student doesn't want to go to school is because of his teacher. Whether you agree with me or not, that is a FACT!

It takes ONE light to illuminate every corner of the dark room but it takes also one light to just simply cast a shadow. It takes one head to influence many heads ot fulfill their dreams, for them to have the brightest future that they could possible have and become someone someday but it also takes one head to darken these dreams.

Students are being brought by their parents in school because they want a proper education for their children (as of course what we can see today is that education have been highly commercialized). The parents want their children to be productive and well-trained. They work hard for their children to be prepared in the future.

School is the second of home of every student. This is the place where students are molded holistically. And this is the place where dreams, goals and aspirations are being motivated and developed. Students spend more time in school rather than at home. They get to face different types of personalities every now and then, learn lots of stuff but as days go by, we see many people craving for knowledge, of course there are still those who are negligent and do not bother care about what would they be in the future but then again, MOST want to be SOMEONE or SOMEBODY, SOMEDAY.

Learning however shouldn't just be left in school alone, there should always be a support coming from parents and the desire that comes from the person who wants to learn. Because achieving something, especially education, it's not just a two way process, but three.

Case Unclosed

There's no way to end up a war if you yourself doesn't know how it all began.

You seem so so disappointed in us, unknowingly, we feel the same way too (more than you do). I never thought we'd reach this way. I don't hold grudges on you. I'm the person who doesn't hold negative things to a person. If i hate someone right now, few hours after the anger had passed, it's all gone! but.. Have you ever seen yourself talking to me? The way you speak to me? to us?

December 18, 2008. If i don't want to talk to you, i should not have spoken to you the whole day. I have admitted my mistake adn that was it. You have scolded us in the wrong manner but i have let that pass. When i found the guts talking to you, how did you respond? Do you know how? Try to remember.

January 9, 2009. Who would be that person happy enough to talk to you if you have started it all along?

You are, i know, we know, intelligent. Admit to that! triple YES! but you know what, there are lot more things really that you must have to know.

1. The way you treat us, the way you talk to us, do you think you're actually giving us due respect?

2. Have you ever realize that when I speak to you there is still that respect?

3. Have you ever thought that these people you are talking to know the word "RESPECT"?

Advice to a friend. :)

Some things are really meant to last, may it be the easy way or the hard way. And no matter how much you want to hold on to it, a time will come that you'll realize it would be better for you to let go and move forward.

Life is open-ended. And for things such as "that", acceptance is the only key. It would surely take a long time but you'll get over it for sure.

We, your friends, will always be here for you and we love you. :)
