Its not a choice...


but i choose you...

being on this earth, is not a choice...

your destiny, is not your choice...

a fate, its not a choice by oneself..

even your name, its not your choice...

who you are...

whom you are for...

why you are here...

they all not chosen by self...

even a one created with not choice...



its not a choice, but i choose you...

i will destroy all traditions which ever known...

will fight all religions which refused my choice...

will choose my fate..

will refuse all what i can`t choose...

and will choose you...

because i love you...



my fate will be chosen by my decision....

not by anyone anyway...

i will choose a lover..

will choose you and call you my sweetheart...



its my life...

i will destiny the life which i need...

so, will choose and decide my fate..

its my choice, i choose you...

because i love you...

Tapped Resources

Posted by Jª

There has been speculations about which is better between the two options. in-housing or outsourcing? Well this depends on the scenario where the two will be used. Both have their advantages as well as their respective flaws, depending on the environment where the option is utilized. In order to fully grasp the effectiveness of the two options, one must know the best for the organization or company where it will be implemented. Without proper knowledge between the two, it can become a liability rather than an asset. As for the in-housing, it is best used if there are skillful personnel in the company that can be able to create a system for the company. With this, the system needed by the company will be made for just the way the company wants and for its best interests. Outsourcing can be good if there are limited resources in the company. There are still numerous reasons why a certain organization will be using one of the two options, in which in most cases, it will be for the company's best interest.

In accordance to this, we have to speculate on why the University tapped on the in-house resources. For quite some time, the questions about the in-housing of the University's enrollment system had been popping since last school year, where it was at that time that the project was started. Before we had the in-house program, we were using the option of having to outsource. But then again, it seems like the University have decided to take a chance on having an in-house rather going for outsource. It seems like a bold step then. But before all that, to tell you frankly, I have a limited knowledge about the in-house project of the University, as most of us are in here. Still, with the added knowledge given by our facilitator and some keen observations, I will be deducing why the the school, the University, decided to use the option of in-housing.

Before then, before the in-house, we are using the outsourcing project in our school. I did not found major flaws in using the outsourced enrollment system of the school, or maybe it was just apathy that did it. However, as what I have stated earlier, there were no major flaws that I found, but there are still flaws, however. There were this some troublesome events that can slow down the enrollment process every start of a semester. But this petty troubles can be overlooked by the students. In a larger scale, some problems in the system just cannot be tolerated. Not to mention the cost of the system. The old system was being paid monthly. This can be an expensive deal, especially for our school. Instead of having to use the large amount of money for paying the outsourcing company, the money can be utilized on a much useful endeavors. The old system, no matter how costly it is and its error, delivered the needed service for the University.

Now to the newly implemented system for the school, the in-house project of the University. During the last semester, we had this two notable teachers for our two subjects, the SE I ( Software Engineering ) and the SAD I(Systems Analysis and Design I). They were one of the best teachers that our college has to offer. And they were really good in their area of expertise. We had a few meetings with the two professors, but that was it. It came to an abrupt end. After having missed meetings with the subjects, we were informed that they will not be continuing to teach us since they have a more pressing at hand. That was then we knew that the school was planning to have an in-house system rather than using the old system that was being outsourced. The schedule was affected, and for some sessions, there were no classes for there were no teachers to supervise us. Having taken the two teachers for developing an in-house project, the school has to hire some temporary teacher for the SE I and for the SAD I subjects, we had the facilitator of this subject. Not that we are complaining, but this came as a surprise to most of us. But after a while, we were able to adjust, all of us, including the facilitators of the subjects. With that being said, the in-house project continued.

The system took a whole semester long to finish. It was finished around the last semester. The system had its dry run last semester and maybe some adjustments were made during that time then. Trainings were done for the users of the system. At the end of the last semester, the system was ready to be implemented. At the start of the school year, the system was finally implemented. Personally, the new system has to have a really good time to get used to. The process in retrieving the COR was quick and without any hassle, but when it comes to the time to pay for the matriculation, it was really troublesome. maybe we are just adjusting but it was a surprise, especially the line for the registrars office. It was, indeed, a long line!! But with that aside, there are notable improvements and it was, without a doubt, better than the old outsourced system.


It seems like the University adopted tapped the in-house resources for numerous reasons, I believe. First thing would be the cost. I don't know how much the in-house project costs but I do believe that it was cheaper than the old system, which is being outsourced. In addition to that, we have the people capable of creating a better system. We cannot deny the fact that the people involved in the project was indeed talented. It was a bold move, but it was a good choice, nonetheless. It may have some problems, but it was better than the last system, I think.

The best argument.....

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy speaks to his Class on the Problem Science has with GOD, the ALMIGHTY.
He asks one of his New Christian Students to stand and..
Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So you Believe in GOD?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD Good?
Student : Sure.
Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL?
Student : Yes.
Professor : My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to GOD to Heal him. Most of us would attempt to
help others who are ill. But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?
( Student is silent )
Professor : You can't answer, can you?
Let's start again, Young Fella.
Is GOD Good?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Is Satan good?
Student : No.
Professor : Where does Satan come fro ?
Student : From.. GOD.
Professor : That's right.
Tell me son, is there evil in this World?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it ?
And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor : So who created evil ?
(Student does not answer)
Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness?
All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, who Created them ?
( Student has no answer )
Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you.
Tell me, son . .. . Have you ever Seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD?
Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor : Yet you still Believe in HIM?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist.
What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor : Yes, Faith. And that is the Problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor : Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor : Yes.
Student : No sir. There isn't.
( The Lecture Theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events )
Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat,
White Heat, a Little Heat or No Heat...
But we don't have anything called Cold..
We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat,
but we can't go any further after that.
There is no such thing as Cold.
Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat.
We cannot Measure Cold.
Heat is Energy.
Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.
( There is Pin - Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )
Student : What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as Darkness?
Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir.
Darkness is the Absence of Something
You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light . . .
But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its called
Darkness, isn't it? In reality, Darkness isn't.
If it is, were you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you?
Professor : So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor : Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality.
You argue there is Life and then there is Death,
a Good GOD and a Bad GOD.
You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite,
something we can measure.
Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought.
It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen,
much less fully understood either one.
To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that
Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing.
Death is Not the Opposite of Life: just the Absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved
from a Monkey?
Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process,
yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?
( The Professor shakes his head with a Smile, beginning to realize where the Argument is going )
Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and
Cannot even prove that this Process is an On - Going Endeavor,
Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir?
Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?
( The Class is in Uproar )
Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor's Brain?
( The Class breaks out into Laughter )
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's Brain, Felt it, touched or Smelt it? . . .
No one appears to have done so.
So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable,
Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have No Brain, sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir?
(The Room is Silent. The Professor stares at the Student, his face unfathomable. )
Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student : That is it sir . . .
The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH.
That is all that Keeps Things Moving & Alive.
NB:
I believe you have enjoyed the Conversation . . . and if so . . .
You'll probably want your Friends / Colleagues to enjoy the same .. . . won't you?
Forward them to Increase their Knowledge . . .. or FAITH.
It turned out later that the student is Albert Einstein.
note: However, no confirmation was made if this student was indeed Albert Einstein... well its something to think about isn't it.

Iron alchemist

Posted by Jª


There was this new open source image manipulation program so called alchemy. It lets you create sketches. It was introduced by someone who is really good in creating images. So I tried it and in the start, it was a bit confusing since I have no idea of what the features are. These are the frist images I was able to make. Creating these images is somewhat fun. That's because while doing these, I explored the features of the said program. But still, I am still trying to get the hang of it. Hopefully, I can do better than theses images.

This was my first try on making a sketch of a person using PhotoShop and GIMP. The fun part here is the sketching of the outline of the person. One person even said that I just used the photocopy filter in the PhotoShop(you know who you are.. harhar). The sketch was done in PhotoShop while the color was added using GIMP. It can be done using Photoshop alone but my computer lags everytime I put color on the image I'm making. That pissed me off so I opened the PSD file in GIMP(gimp can open I think all type of image, even photoshop brushes, but I am not so sure). I can say that I am happy of the outcome. I liked the result of the color. Comments are highly appreciated(hehe). And by the way, the model for this is just a familiar face around.. ^.-

Multiple Desktop

I found this wonderful application that will enable you to have multiple desktops in your computer. This can be a useful tool in organizing your desktop. For me, I found it really useful. You should try it yourself. ^^,

Techniques and all...

Posted by Jª

Among the techniques in data gathering mentioned, I can say that I am more comfortable with document review, observation and the use of questionnaires. That is because these types or techniques doesn't or requires minimal interaction with other people.

You see, it may not look like it, but I am a shy type person. I stutter especially when I am in front of a lot of people. But when situation calls for it, I can do it, but still I stutter (hehe). I sometimes become speechless especially the person I am talking to is intimidating. But then again, I can gather up the courage to take a stand, but still takes time. The techniques I chose can also be a more accurate and precise data from the data gathered from the interview. But based on what we did in the past data gathering, the only technique that we were not able to use then was the use of questionnaires.

Strategic Life Planning: Predictive or Adaptive?

Posted by Jª


For me to be able to achieve my objectives or goals in life, adaptive approach would be the best option in dealing with it.. But a share of predictive approach wouldn't hurt. Well you see, it's not always that we can foresee things that will either hinder or help us. Predictive can be used in some aspects in obtaining the goal but the adaptive approach is more convenient than the predictive approach. But this approaches wouldn't be of much help if there wouldn't be steps like the SLDC phase. Like the phases, I came up with my own steps for me to help obtain the goals that I have in my life. To start off, before anything else, I plan, that is I have to set my goals and objectives. It is a critical part or step for without it, the whole process would be meaningless. So with it, I will be able identify what are the things that I dream of, my vision, and what I really want. With this first step, I have a guideline for me to follow. With this being said, I now have the goals and objectives for me to follow. But honestly, there are parts or portions of my goals that are still vague. But then again, my major goal is still undeterred. The next step would then be the action or the implementation. In this step, this is where the works is being done with the purpose of getting near or better yet, achieving my goals. This step will be a long and a painstakingly job. After this step would be the review of the things done and not yet done. And also, in this step, I will be determining the outcome of my recent actions and its impact on my goals. On what aspect will I have to improve, the things that were done accordingly, these are part of the review. This is the last step that I will be having for my goals. But in here, the improvements needed are addressed as well as the improvements.


Well, like I stated earlier, that some parts of my goals are vague. That is because there can be unforeseen circumstances that can greatly change the way I see things. In effect, it will make or cause some changes on my objectives. But then again, the main goal wouldn't be changed.


These three steps may seem like a short and abrupt way of obtaining my goals. But you see, it doesn't end on the review step. It is a continuous process that will take a long time for me to accomplish. But that depends on how are things done. So you see, there are aspects that the predictive approach is used but mostly for me, the adaptive approach is the best approach in obtaining my goals/objectives in life. ^-^

Is it Worth It?

Posted by Jª

Having stayed in the University of Southeastern Philippines for a given amount of time, I have learned a lot from both the experiences as well as the teachings given by our respectable professors. During those times, we were given projects in different subjects related to our course. And to tell you the truth, it it not a walk in the park. There are meticulous projects in which we really had a hard time doing or finishing it. But with that, we also learned a lot from it. Not only theoretical, but also some virtues (patience and determination, to be precise, hehehe).



With that being said, the proposed system that our group came up with is an enrollment system for a certain school. The school that we chose use the Microsoft Excel in their enrollment processes and also for their record-keeping. With this, we proposed creating a system that can be of help to the school. In the beginning, we planned on having it net ready, for luckily for us, some of our members know how to use PHP. But we abandoned the idea for we thought that we would be creating an executable program. But our professor told us that it would be best if it would be internet ready. So after hearing what our professor said, we reconsidered our plan on having an executable program.


For me, it would be a challenging and a worthwhile task to accomplish. I can benefit from this project and also, in some ways, we can help the school in their enrollment system. There can be a lot of free programs about enrollment system but what we will be doing will be from scratch, from the beginning. This can really improve my skill as an IT student. But then again, though this can help me, there are also other systems that we can propose. I'm not being "balimbing" here but just being rational. If we can think of a better system, then why not have a go at it. As long as both parties can benefit from it, why not do it. It will also be a nice challenge for us. This proposed systems that we're creating can be a stepping stone for our success.
