Saturday, May 31, 2008 StereotypeFunction: noun : something conforming to a fixed or general pattern; especially : an often oversimplified or biased mental picture held to characterize the typical individual of a group Filipinos nowadays tend to stereotype the work of every individual. If you are working at Makati you are a "professional" compared to people working decently on other places. If you work as a call center agent, you are a "high earning" individual compared to other jobs. No more "I'm proud to be an Engineer" or "I am an architect!" only "I work at a call center, I can buy whatever I want" and "Nursing is the only course here in the Philippines." I am a teacher by profession, and some of my so called "friends" look at me as "an employee who earns less" compared to their fat paycheck. I admit my salary is lower than his, but I love my job. I love sharing the knowledge I learned and I'm happy seeing their faces when discovering something new. If all of the people think like my "friend", The world now really is controlled by money.

Posted by Siopao Master @ 10:50 AM Monday, May 26, 2008 For the past couple of weeks I've been sleepy. Even though I went to bed early, I always wake up and felt still sleepy. They told it was the "paglilihi" effect. You see my buddy a work is pregnant and I was the one always with her. Don't know if these things are true or there's a scientific explanation to this. Damn, I've drank 2 cups of coffee already and still sleepyLabels: daily-life Read Full Entry
Posted by Siopao Master @ 10:52 AM Tuesday, May 20, 2008  It was almost a year since it happened. We parted ways without saying anything to each other. She completely erased me from her life. Am I fighting for a war which defeat is inevitable? Does love really conquers all or it is just an illusion? Maybe I should forget her, maybe I should not wait for her to text me even a single "Hi". It is really painful to know that the person who you cherished the most, doesn't even give a damn to your existence...Damn...I haven't even told her how much I love her....

Posted by Siopao Master @ 9:38 PM Ok, some of my friends asked me why am I not updating my site every day. Honestly guys, I'd rather be quiet than post a non-informative, biased, nonsense entry, like "Hey, I brushed my teeth today! uber coolness!" and, "Hey! My life sucks!" Anyway, I'm into quality rather than quantity of posts. So if my visitors wanted a daily update and all I can give them is a doze of my boring, uneventful, generic, mediocre life. But hey, thanks for visiting! Anyway, wanna know what I ate for breakfast? No? I thought so. Labels: my-two-cents Read Full Entry
Posted by Siopao Master @ 1:18 AM Saturday, May 03, 2008  IEEE 802.11 also known as Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) is a technology being taken for granted by people these days. I still remember rhe time where a "hotspot" is like an oasis for us net surfers, but that is now a thing of the past. More and more establishments today are jumping on the WiFi bandwagon. The former "exclusive" to Starbucks Coffee is now being used by other establishments. SM North Edsa is one big hotspot. But the connection needs a prepaid card to be purchased on their information Counter. Glorietta 4 also is a hotspot, but it needs purchasing as well. Enough with the colossal ones, food chains nowadays also provide WiFi. Jollibee offers free connection...for now. Burger King also gives a free connection and heck even let you plug your gadget on their outlet or charger provided. Schools also brag that their campuses are WiFi enabled, like AMA  So as I observe the "majority" using these technology exclusive before to us geeks, they waste the bandwidth on checking their Friendster profile, uploading their korny You Tube videos and chatting over Yahoo Messenger, heck even order a small size drink at Starbucks just to "show-off" their laptop they don't even know how to fix. I know I know before some of my readers react, yeah they have the right to browse wherever they please, but as far as I remember, WiFi is used before by businessmen sending that crucial report or submitting that important data via email. Oh well, can't blame those people who doesn't have an internet at home but has a laptop and leech out the net on a hotspot. The price for technological advancement is steep.
