filipinos are really GOOD

this dancers here appeared in "step up 2 the streets". dont you know that this guyz are the champion in the mtv reality show "randy jackson presents Americas best dance crew".

but the better part here is, this group is compose of 5 filipinos. the founders of the group are 2 filipinos and 1 american. asian race is dominant in this group and the most number of nationality is filipino. in the show, 3 filipinos appeared(gatdula,paguio,tayag). but in the original group there are 5 filipinos. another thing to be proud about filipinos. we rock!!!!

MCDC

this video is suppose to be 6 minutes but we havent gathered all the videos yet. this is the one available for now.

this is our first presentation.. not that good but also not that bad for a 3rd place in street dance competition. among all the competetors, we are the only group that danced street, other groups dance good but it's not the street thing. we are continuing the crew. tell me if you want to join.

downsizing

i cant remember when, but way back 1990's my uncle was an employee from the universal Robina corporation.
i dont even know how many of them but several of them were cut-off from the payroll of URC. they were once a part of the downsizing of the said company. surprisingly, i was not only him and his fellow workers with the same rank but also hiss very own boss who ia also a family friend.
as far as i can remember they where removed from the company for some reasons about finance, or somehow there are to many people enlisted in the companies payroll. and after that they were replaced with new workers.

i've been looking for an article about this in the internet but unfortunately i found nothing. there are some but the infos are too poor.
im not so sure about the reason of the companies downsizing but im sure my uncle was a part of it.

among the 5 online jobs, i would like to take jobs on numbers 2,3 & 5.
based on my 1st assignment, these 3 jobs fit my interest. of course you could work well on a job that you love. so how is being a GM part of my desired job? though being a GM is not that busy, being a GM is part of the world of animation. when a person is apart of a team that creates animation for a computer game, there is a big chance of being a part of the GM team. but if ill rate my choices (1-5[5 is top pick]), it'll go like this.
job 1: 1
job 2: 5

Green Campus Computing

http://blogs.colgate.edu/2008/01/campus-focuses-on-global-warmi.html
http://www.avertlabs.com/research/blog/index.php/2008/04/04/is-malware-affecting-global-warming/

this links are sites where we can see what is "green campus computing" and what are the stuffs closely related to it.

it was stated in the sites that energy consumption greatly affect global warming. using energy emits a little amount of CO2. well may be just a little, but try to think how many gadgets that need electricity are being used around the world. remember that BIG THINGS COME FROM SMALL THINGS! even a little amount of CO2 will result to a big something when it builds up, add it up to the CO2 that human emits. so going back to the computing thing, green campus computing focuses on the area where energy is being used to computing. talking about computing, we are talking about COMPUTERS. it concerns the solution on how to reduce the causes of global warming through computing.

so how can we take part on this so-called "Green Campus Computing"?

*turn off PC when not in use.
*when leaving thew computer turned ON while downloading or other stuffs that don't need the use of a monitor, turn off the monitor.
*dont turn on the computer when it is not ready to use and so to the printer.
*WHEN USING A SLOW COMPUTER, DONT DARE TO HESITATE ON BUYING UPGRADE ACCESSORIES. REMEMBER! THE FASTER THE COMPUTER IS, THE SHORTER TIME NEEDED TO USE IT. AND THE SHORTER THE TIME FOR COMPUTING, LESS ENERGY MEANS LESS HEAT!!!

i hope USEP could afford to buy FASTER COMPUTERS.

OSS

open source software(OSS) are somehow softwares that does not need any license or registrstion to avail legal acces on softwares.

almost all of the computers now in the world aren't using licensed software which is still a part of piracy. thus, using open source softwares instead puts us out of the crime called piracy.

so how can we implement it in our university?

for me this are some of the ways:

1. conduct a seminar regarding open source software.
2. make a campaign to exercise the usage of open source software.
3. make leaflets about the importance of using this OSS.
4. make some posters about using OSS.
5. make an advertise and a campaign of using OSS in the university website.
