Asia, Internet Junkies


ASIA, is said to be, the widely user of internet per seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years. 
That includes, China, which actually stated that 44% of their population is using the internet most of their times. How about Korea? and Japan? And yeah, Philippines.

It shows that in our time, it's already normal or a trend for people to go pop on their beds and go on their desktops as they open their social networking sites, check notifications or mails and do chitchats with people who also goes with the same routine. It shows that, we usually explore things, get information, broaden knowledge, virtually. We tend to browse the internet, find stuffs, which is which, who is who. It may give advantage for people who does advertising, and/or connect with your relatives or love ones who actually lives far from your place. For business purposes, it is an advantage. For telecommunication purposes, well, yeah, it also is.
But in every advantages that were given, we cannot always think it will always give good things for you. It also lead for disadvantages. In terms of socialization. Yes it's easy to find people with social networking sites. You add people, you make friends with them. But it doesn't mean it will always give you 100% security. He/She could be, a so called poser, a fake person who impersonates a person and proclaims the same characteristics,  and chances are, could lead you to worst cases. Or, he/she might someone who ask for personal details, like your real name, your address, your contact numbers, be careful, we cannot trust them.
Also, people today has the same dilemma, for being a wide user of internet. They actually prefer staying at home than go outside. In terms of health, it accumulate health risks. Once physical activities are seldom done or is not regulated to do so, which is actually a daily thing, you might just bloat there and, yeah, heart risks, some terrible diseases or body situations, whatever the medical terms called that.

I hope our society today would realize that the world outside is much worth it than the world inside digitally. But, I am not against the situation with our time today, or the convergence. I just want to say, Let's pray. I know it's random, but It will help you socially, physically, emotionally, spiritually.
So Asia, is the known as the wide user of internet, but people would do the same thing, and as time goes by. You would do the same thing even if it's a mean of living today or tomorrow.

It has advantages and disadvantages. I use the internet so much, it's actually a part of my daily routine. 
How about you?

Why Lyceum?

A couple, rather, a few years ago, innocent years, here it is, a big step for a big guy. Looking for a university or a good college requires perseverance. A slight pressure would actually hit you, thinking, what course to pursue?

I passed some of the exams in different colleges, I took entrance examinations from seminaries. Yeah, I wanted to be a priest. A distributor, a contributor, a God's messenger. But one priest I've known like years, actually encouraged me to go to the outside world for a while, and let myself decide which is which. It hit me big time, since I really wanted to be a different me.


My dad suggested me any engineering courses or fields. I did took dad's suggestion. The question is, where? 
I found Lyceum Institute of Technology, today's Lyceum of the Philippines - Laguna.
It offers a lot of courses I wanted to try or take. And then, I found Computer Engineering. Why? Well, from the moment I was taught to use the Computer, it actually made a big adaptation of addiction of subtracting a multiplication of divisions, in other words, I depend too much on computers, It has made operations in my life with it. I guess that's how computer gives big impacts to/for people today. Anyway, we all know that people today depends on the intelligence tomorrow, so yeah, Computer Engineering it is.

Skipping to details on how my college went through. I fail so much, I end up giving up the Engineering thing. I know I made so much mistakes already, like years, and I know I did couple of bad things recently, but that doesn't mean I have to give my life up from a big stupid mistake. I decided to take my real interest as a college student.

Now, as AB Multimedia Arts student, Why Lyceum?
I want to elaborate it with bullet form but i prefer writing it with my 10 fingers. One, it's because of the environment. Lyceum has a peaceful environment, yes it is. Two, it's Laguna. Pretty rare for a college/university to offer such course, it is usually offered in Manila Areas/Universities. It's Laguna, It's the best province in the whole wide wide wide nation. Three, it is 22km away from our place, no need to find dormitories or boarding houses, it only cost me 35php with a/c bus. Four, the price is right. Of course, people will always check financial stuffs, tuition, daily expenses. Five, ISO certified. Good College with good reputation comes with good opportunities. Six, they have Mac Lab! Seven, community is nice, cool, approachable and friendly. Eight, most of the courses are already PAASCU accredited, big time reputation it is! Nine, I am a Lycean Artist! *smiles*

Actually, I really wanted to be a Lycean, and graduate here.

First

I am actually a newbie, an internet slang that refers about being a beginner, when it comes to writing a journal or posting in public about how I feel or what to share about whatever you are gonna tell them, as your 10 fingers press some of the keys on your keyboard connected with your CPU, Central Processing Unit, or people refer it as the body of a computer, and as you think and write a good article about something in your mind, It may be entertaining, expressing yourself, or just plain being stupid for a moment, you're actually making a good influence to people around you as they read any of your articles, or entries, or posts. It may give a good reputation, or a good impression for you. And as you get all of those stuffs, you are actually, and already, giving yourself a good introduction to the public.

I am currently exploring the world of blogging, so if you want to tell me something about something, I would suggest you tell yourself that something or else, it would do something to you.

Oh hey! Something you want to tell me? :)
