Moving On...

I felt my life seems miserable the day my notebook crushed. Not that I was so desperate in life but I guess I just miss my daily routine during mornings like checking some mails, reading some news and of course blogging some cool stuff.

Day after day a lot of things instantly pop into my mind that leads into something unpleasant, It's called: "The fear factor." I fear that I may get outdated, I fear that I will no longer be able to watch my favorite webcast, I fear that I may not be able to complete my project, I fear that sooner or later I will become dumb and dumber...etc. etc. etc.

But as soon as I told myself to stop and really think about it and begin to ask myself "don't you think you have alternatives?" I don't have to mourn forever and blame destiny for the death of my notebook. I just have to be flexible and go back to the basics.

For the first time I decided to blog things out using pen and paper just like the old school days and my oh my I find it very educational. Weird right? As I write this article inside my room the essence of the word "Quality Writing" began to make sense. I can review on it over and over again, I have reduce my personal attachment to my own spell checker, I can express things out as deailed as possible, I just felt that time is no longer a luxury but, a standard de facto in providing quality thoughts and the last but not the least I'm trying to improve my own writing skills.

I just wondered if Steve Ballmer's vision was right when he said, "In the next 5 years I don't want to see papers." The importance of writing things on pen and paper really makes a big difference.

Maybe in the real world the word suffering is a disguise word for unleashing your inner self. Just take a look at some of the great people on earth. Even Christ must experience the most painful suffering that he could imagine before he turned into something divine. Even people like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Henry Sy experience the worse of what destiny can offer.

With this kind of life I just learned how to make the most of what I have and just bring out the best of it. I would never figure things out if my notebook didn't crushed. It really makes a lot of sense now.

Just never say, I quit. Just do it.

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.

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.
