Dealing with reality

Funny how people immediately defend themselves whenever they are face in a situation where they seem to be weak the moment they feel they are being threaten. Yesterday, I was invited by some friends to play some badminton game it was really fun. Luckily, I was allowed to borrow some racket to one of my friend even if they keep on insisting me to buy a new one. But then as I look at the ambiance of their interest I can tell that shelling out a thousand bucks of pesos in my pocket is not worth since most of them are not consistent in playing.

We did won 1 game out of 5 games hahaha. As we rest and watch some players rock their game on one of my officemate was so amaze that he reacted with words like: "grabe akala mo parang shaq ang kamay kung pumalo bumabalik agad." I did agree with him but on the other hand another officemate reacted in a different way and he said, "bata kasi!" deep inside I was like huh? what about being young? it's not a guarantee on being a great player though it will provide an edge.

Just to justify it I did saw an old guy but not that old. He was like on his 50's but man I tell you he has the built and as they play with a younger dude the older one is just too good for him that no matter how power smash he executes the guy could simply return the shuttle back to him and even powerful.

It's not really how young you are but how prepared you are both mentally and physically. The training experience that you gain puts a lot of weight in everything you do.

Apple's Edge Over Microsoft?

In the world of IT, models created by business empires will dictate the future of their products. Microsoft is using the component model as the key to win customers and Apple is using the end-to-end model. Microsoft Windows platform crushed Apple's Macintosh platform the day Microsoft release Windows 98 and pirates come out in the open and dominate every stall in our local mall and computer shops. iPod maybe the best and coolest mp3 player that I have ever seen but I still don't think that Apple will dominate the cell phone era for this place belongs to Asia particularly Nokia and Sony Ericson. I don't know why Walter Mossberg thinks US company will always dominate the world when in fact there is another company that belongs to the world and its called Open Source. I think he is dead wrong with his perception. Without a doubt nobody comes close to iPod in the field of mp3 player however, with the release of Sony Ericson latest cell phone such as W900i.

I was looking for a nice place to chill last Monday to unwind my thoughts and enjoy with my family. I heard about the latest Internet Cafe just open 3 months ago and I decided to check it out. I have seen a lot of Internet Cafe but nothing comes close to this shop. Everything was simply high end from its ambiance, food and computers. It was simply the best place for people who want to collaborate and enjoy together.

John Gokongwei Speech before Ateneo 2004 Graduates

I wish I were one of you today, instead of a 77-year-old man, giving a speech you will probably forget when you wake up from your hangover tomorrow. You may be surprised I feel this way. Many of you are feeling fearful and apprehensive about your future. You are thinking that, perhaps, your Ateneo diploma will not mean a whole lot in the future in a country with too many problems. And you are probably right. You are thinking that our country is slipping-no, sliding. Again, you may be right. Twenty years ago, we were at par with countries like Thailand,Malaysia, and Singapore. Today, we are left way behind. You know the facts. Twenty years ago, the per capita income of the Filipino was 1,000 US dollars. Today, it's 1,100 dollars. That's a growth of only ten percent in twenty years.
