It’s Christmas time again, and very Christmas, it is in our tradition to make a “Christmas Wish”.

Many people often do it because they believe it will happen because it’s Christmas and it is a season of giving.

They believe that God will grant what they’ve wish for because it’s his birthday.

We ask God for different kinds of things

Many of us are wishing for  Materialistic things…..

Some are physical, and mental health…..

Some of us are praying for healing….

Some people are wishing for love….

But whatever we wish for…

All people have their wishes in common.

ALL OF US ARE WISHING TO BE HAPPY.

It is not bad to make a Christmas Wish, but always remember that not only every Christmas you can ask or make a wish to God for him to grant your wish.

You can ask and wish to the Lord about what you want 24/7.

Not just every Christmas.

And always remember that giving is much better than receiving.

Anyway… speaking of what do we call “Christmas wish”

Here is my Christmas wish…

* I wanna have a new phone…

* I wanna have a PSP

* I wanna have a new friends this Christmas

* I’m assembling  my new Desktop and i want it to be done before the year ends…

* I want to have a Girlfriend already, I’m already 18 now but I didn’t even have one

* I wishing to pass my exam for my entrance

And lastly….

I JUST WANT TO HAVE A SIMPLE AND A HAPPY CHRISTMAS.

NOT JUST ONLY FOR ME BUT TO ALL OF US

the type that even the crisis is raising, all the people will forget all their problems for a moment, and spend time with their love ones.

in that kind of way, even without the Spaghetti, Hamon, and Keso de bola,

the important is all families are getting together for the yuletide season.

and remembering that there is a God that was born 2000 years ago for the sake of mankind.

anyway for conclusion

just always remember that Christmas is a time for Family, Friends, and Loveones…

Christmas is remembering the  birth of Jesus Christ.

and that’s the simple fact

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!

TALK OF THE TOWN

 

          Usong topiko ngayon ang kahirapan. Not because it is fashionable but because most of us are buried deep in it.

          Rallies are everywhere again.  Pero sana lang when rallies happen, para lang iparating ang hinaing at manggising ng kinauukulan.  Destruction of public properties and disruption of the general peace and order should be avoided.  Lalo lang tatagal ang tulong para sa atin kasi maaabala pa ang kinauukulan sa paggasta at pagkumpuni ng mga nasira at pagpapanumbalik sa kaayusan.

 

 

 

         Kawalan ng trabaho ang isang itinuturong dahilan at sangayon ako diyan ngunit hindi rin naman tama na ibunton ang lahat ng sisi sa gobyerno.

         I don’t know if it is just the media playing us or it is the actual truth. Marami sa mga ipinapalabas ay hindi man lang magpasalamat sa natatanggap na  pera galing sa gobyerno sa halip ay naghahangad pa ng mas malaki. Mabuti nga iyon at sila ay nakatanggap na hindi gaya ng iba na wala. Kulang ba ang tulong o sobra lang tayong mapanghangad ng pangmadaliang grasya.  Alin ba ang mas mainam, meron kahit kaunti o iyong talagang walang-wala?

         I want to be enlightened about whether population growth really has no contribution on the poverty of a country.  Personally, I believe it has. 

         Tingnan natin ang isang pamilya ng lima. Sa isang mahirap na komunidad.  Ilan sa mga bata ang makakapag-aral, ilan ang sasabak agad sa trabaho upang makatulong, ilan ang magkakaroon ng sapat na kaalaman upang makahanap ng disenteng trabaho? At ilan pa ba ang maisisilang sa pamilyang ito?  I heard an argument that in every mouth added in a family is not necessarily a burden for with it come two hands and two feet.  Nandoon na ako pero bago pakinabangan ang mga biyas na iyon ay ang pagpapalaki muna sa nagmamayari sa mga ito at pagbibigay edukasyon nang sa gayon ay makatulong at magamit sa wastong paraan those two hands and two feet that come with that mouth that needs feeding.  Of course a big family is happy but honestly, until when will they be happy when everyday they hear are the grumblings of a hungry stomach, the creak of an overcrowded shanty, and the suppressed sighs of overburdened parents, or see the blisters at the hands of under paid under aged sibs, sons or daughters or the envy in their eyes for children their age that go to school, wear decent clothes and eat decent meals even if sometimes late?  I am not pessimistic; this is just the truth no matter how harsh.

What’s wrong with family control?  I have nothing against big families if they are living well even for a daily basis but for a big family that still gets bigger even when the odds barely meet, then nandoon ang problema.  I can’t help but notice na ang malalaki pa manding pamilya ay iyong medyo or talagang hikahos sa buhay then blame the world for getting poorer each time.  I hope this doesn’t make me an opponent of the pro-lifers dahil ako man ay against sa abortion and abortionists but really, is it any different from bringing a child in this world and subject them to daily tortures of poverty?  Is condom bad? As far as I’m concerned, life only begins at the union of gametes that do not happen in condom use- I am not promoting the product, I am simply saying the very basic principle involved in its use.  Withdrawal?  Well, maybe it is effective but com’on I believe only a few are really that good in self-control in that department otherwise they would have opted for abstinence- and again that’s not bad either, in fact, I believe everybody agrees that it is the most effective birth control. So next time, instead of simply saying pro-life, why don’t we try pro-decent living condition life?

Of course paghihirap is what brings the best in us at times but let us face it, that is just the optimistic and philosophical part of it, the instance when suffering ends into something good but without sugar coating it, the other side of it would be child labor, crimes committed just to survive or the hatred to powers that be both divine and human at the instance when volleys of trials drive our noses closer to the grindstone and still seem not to end.

Again, hindi natin mareresolba ang mga bagay sa pagbibintang sa iba ng mga bagay na sa simula’t sapul ay alam naman natin sa ating sarili na kaya nating labanan sa pinakatamang maaaring paraan.  Hindi masama ang humingi ng tulong sa iba o sa gobyerno man ang masama ay ang di man lang pagpapasalamat pagdating ng tulong maliit man o kahit pa kulang kumpara sa wala.  Kahit naman kasi mga trabaho na bigay ng gobyerno, kahit simple ay nangangailangan ng mga kaalaman kahit sabihin pa na basic sa school and yet hindi matanggap ang iba sa mahihirap na pamilya dahil dito and the cycle starts again in blaming the government when the problem is in fact within.

 

We can do this; all we have to do is believe and most importantly, act responsibly.

 

 

Google Chrome, Google’s Browser Project

Today there was a comic book in my mail, sent by Google and drawn by no less than Scott McCloud, creator of the classicUnderstanding Comics. Within the 38 pages, which I’ve scanned and put up, in very readable format Google gives the technical details into a project of theirs: an open source browser called Google Chrome. The book points to www.google.com/chrome, but I can’t see anything live there yet. In a nut-shell, here’s what the comic announces Google Chrome to be:

• Google Chrome is Google’s open source browser project.As rumored before under the name of “Google Browser”, this will be based on the existing rendering engine Webkit. Furthermore, it will include Google’s Gears project.
• The browser will include a JavaScript Virtual Machine called V8, built from scratch by a team in Denmark, and open-sourced as well so other browsers could include it. One aim of V8 was to speed up JavaScript performance in the browser, as it’s such an important component on the web today. Google also say they’re using a “multi-process design” which they say means “a bit more memory up front” but over time also “less memory bloat.” When web pages or plug-ins do use a lot of memory, you can spot them in Chrome’s task manager, “placing blame where blame belongs.”
• Google Chrome will use special tabs. Instead of traditional tabs like those seen in Firefox, Chrome puts the tab buttons on the upper side of the window, not below the address bar. 
• The browser has an address bar with auto-completion features. Called ’omnibox’, Google says it offers search suggestions, top pages you’ve visited, pages you didn’t visit but which are popular amd more. The omnibox (“omni” is a prefix meaning “all”, as in “omniscient” – “all-knowing”) also lets you enter e.g. “digital camera” if the title of the page you visited was “Canon Digital Camera”. Additionally, the omnibox lets you search a website of which it captured the search box; you need to type the site’s name into the address bar, like “amazon”, and then hit the tab key and enter your search keywords.
• As a default homepage Chrome presents you with a kind of “speed dial” feature, similar to the one of Opera. On that page you will see your most visited webpages as 9 screenshot thumbnails. To the side, you will also see a couple of your recent searches and your recently bookmarked pages, as well as recently closed tabs. 
• Chrome has a privacy mode; Google says you can create an “incognito” window “and nothing that occurs in that window is ever logged on your computer.” The latest version of Internet Explorer calls this InPrivate. Google’s use-case for when you might want to use the “incognito” feature is e.g. to keep a surprise gift a secret. As far as Microsoft’s InPrivate mode is concerned, people also speculated it was a “porn mode.”
• Web apps can be launched in their own browser window without address bar and toolbar. Mozilla has a project called Prism that aims to do similar (though doing so may train users into accepting non-URL windows as safe or into ignoring the URL, which could increase the effectiveness of phishing attacks).
• To fight malware and phishing attempts, Chrome is constantly downloading lists of harmful sites. Google also promises that whatever runs in a tab is sandboxed so that it won’t affect your machine and can be safely closed. Plugins the user installed may escape this security model, Google admits.

This looks like a very interesting project, and I think it can’t hurt to have more competition in the browser area. Google is playing this as nicely as possible by open-sourcing things, with perhaps part of the reason to try to defend against monopoly accusations – after all, Google already owns a lot of what’s happening inside the browser, and some may feel owning a browser too could be a little too much power for a single company (Google could, for instance, release browser features that benefit their sites more than most other sites… as can Microsoft with Internet Explorer). For now, until Chrome is released in a testable version, how much of the speed, stability and user interface promises will be fullfilled – and how much of the interface you’ll be able to configure in case you don’t like it – remains to be seen.

Update: Google now posted on this at their blog, announcing the launch date to be tomorrow, Tuesday.
