The Little Thing I can do

After researching and gathering the facts. I was filled with the urge to do something. Something on my own little way. I feel like this is the least I could do as a Filipino citizen. I've decided to photocopy yung mga nakalap kong facts (in summarized form of course with links to urls). Facts about noynoy aquino. Especially ung mga magagandang batas na nag-NO siya at nag-abstain (makikita dun sa batas na may conflict of interest sa kanya) like yung batas sa land rights ng farmers..
Ididistribute ko ito with note sa huli na i-photocopy din nila if they believe what's written there is true. kase di naman ako makakapag-pa-photocopy ng super dami hehehe. Balak ko din pumunta sa volunteers ng either Gibo or Gordon (di pa ko fully decided, mamya pag-uwi ko magdedecide na ako at makapagdecide na hopefully).

I feel like just voting for the right one is not enough especially when the worst one is yung nangunguna sa survey. I just can't let May 10 pass without me doing the least that I could do. I feel it is my responsbility. Especially now na the information is readily in our hands through the internet. I feel it is our responsibility to share the information to the uninformed or to those who don't have money to access the internet in long duration para magresearch. And to those who simply don't care to research.

I know na baka may makabangga ako sa gagawin ko. But I don't care, as long as alam kong tama ang ginagawa ko. After nila mabasa ang facts, at iboto pa rin nila si Noy.. well wala na kong magagawa dun. At least I can say to myself I did something and not just vote. At least nabigyan ko sila ng informed decision. Dahil obvious naman na ang boboto kay Noy ay walang informed decision at emosyon lang ang basehan. Itong strong emotion na ito ang pinakamahirap sa parteng ito.

It's just one week of sacrificing my energy and money and time. Compared to sacrificing my country's future for four years or more. Because the negative impact a bad governance will have on our country will not only last for 4 years but for more years to come.

Do I really think this would work? I am full of hope, I should not lose hope. we should not lose hope. If bawat bigyan ko ng photocopy ng facts ay ma-convince at bawat isa sa kanila ay ipa-photocopy din yun at yung bigyan nila ay iphotocopy din yun...

Anti-Noynoy Movement

Vote informedly.. please do not vote for noynoy aquino!!!!!

No. Hindi ako binayaran ni villar para i-blog ito. sarili kong opinyon ito. kung sa tingin mo mali ang pinagsasabi ko dito. mag-isip isip at i-justify sa sarili mo mismo kung bakit sinasabi ko na wag iboto si noynoy

Mga rason kung bakit wag na wag mong iboboto si noynoy:
- kung walang corrupt. walang mahirap.
----- ang kahirapan ng tao (to some extent) ay hindi dahil sa gobyerno. I said to some extent. dahil syempre kung nasa somalia ka eh talagang mahirap. Wag mong kakalimutan na ang kahirapan ng kahit na sinong tao eh nasa kanyang palad. Pati ang pag-akyat nya sa tagumpay. Kung may 1% sa populasyon na nagawang yumaman o umahon man lang sa kahirapan at nasa iisang gobyerno sya tulad ng ibang nanatiling mahirap, patunay na yun. Katamaran ang ugat ng kahirapan (among other values). Wag mong kakalimutan na nagkaron ng gobyerno nuong una pang panahon dahil sa giyera-giyera. pang-proteksyon ang isa sa mga pangunahing dahilan ng pagkakaron ng gobyerno nuong unang panahon. (please mgbasa ng history). Pangalawa, ang magkaron ng pantay pantay na oportunidad/karapatan ang mayayaman at mahihirap. Eh natural kung mahirap ka maliit lang ang oportunidad mo dahil wala kang perang panggastos para sa mga oportunidad (kasalanan ba ng gobyerno yun? hindi!). Kaya nga kailangan mong mag-10x sipag at tiyaga kumpara sa mayaman na eh. Pantay na karapatan? alam naman natin na maraming masasamang tao na aapakan ka lalo na kung mahirap ka, pero kelan pa nangyari na direktang ang gobyerno ang sumipa sa karapatan mo? Siguro meron mga konting sitwasyon ano ho? Pero the point is, nangyayari itong kawalan ng karapatan ng mga mahihirap among the people na rin, hindi laban sa gobyerno mismo. (May iba pang explanation tungkol dito pero kung may magcocomment against dito saka ko na lang ieexplain. Masyado nang hahaba itong rant ko eh). Ang slogan na 'to eh dinadaan ka sa paggising ng emosyon mo dahil alam nila na ang pilipino kapag di makaahon sa hirap sa korupsyon binabaling ang dahilan. whic brings us to...

- si noynoy.. dinadaan ang mga botante through their emotions (tulad ng iba pang karaniwang kandidato ngunit kay noynoy talagang). Kung hindi mo lang papanuorin ang commercial niya kundi mag-iisip ka rin at manonood, tanong mo sa sarili mo? anong sense? may plataporma ba? Kung susuriin. Kahit hindi suriing mabuti kase common sense na kaunti lang ang kailangan eh, ang emosyon mo ang tinitira ng noynoy dahil alam niya na ang mga pilipino eh masyadong emosyonal. Eh natural kapag emosyonal ang isang tao 'di na yan makakapag-isip.

- may nagawa ba para sa bansa? Wala! kahit saan mo igoogle... WALA! nakailang posisyon na sya, yung iba nga head o chair pa sya eh pero walang nagawa. Oo naman may nagawa. Baka kase tanungin ng kung sinong engot jan, "wala ba talagang nagawa?". Tanungin mo na lang mismo kay noy kung ano ginawa nya para sa bansa. hayz. walang significant, ok.

- Anti-corrupt sya. Pero di niya napatunayan ang leadership niya.Oo, syempre magandang plataporma yan. Di ko naman sinabing panget syang iboto dahil anti-corrupt sya eh. pero kung yun na lang ang bukambibig niya, at sa track record niya eh wala naman siyang napatunayang significant accomplishment.. Pano pa kaya ang labanan ang korupsyon?!? Hindi ka nga corrupt wala ka namang leadership (base ito sa foreign analyst na nabasa ko in the past sa yahoo at base na rin sa pagreresearch ko.) eh pano mo mapipigil ang korupsyon? Matutulad lang siya sa nanay cory niya na honest pero kaliwa't kanan naman sa mga nasa gobyerno ang tuwang tuwa sa pangungurakot. Madaling magsalita, mahirap gawin. Lalo na kung di mo napatunayan in the past na kaya mong gawin.

- Sasabihin mo, eh may advisers naman siya eh. Tignan mo kung sino ang mga nakapaligid kay noynoy ngayon. period.

Lot of Catching up to do on Java Certifications

I have just recently realized that I have a lot of catching up to do on taking java certifications. Not that it's absolutely necessary for my career or for my life goals. But I really want and enjoy taking certifications on java. It's fun learning. It give me self satisfaction.

Currently I am Sun Certified Java Programmer 5.0. I just realized that it's been 3 long years since I took this certification in July 2007. Right now, I am about to take my next certification (Sun Certified Web Component Developer 5.0) this 2010. So right now I really do feel a personal need on my part to catch up on my certifications on java. And I don't care what a number of zealots are saying about certifications (like it is useless, it cannot be used as a gauge on hiring, etc).

My next certification targets:
1. Sun Certified Business Component Developer 5.0
2. Sun Certified Web Services...
3. Sun Certified Java Developer...
4. Sun Certified Enterprise Architect
5. and finally, Sun Certified Mobile Application Developer

though I may just take Sun Certified Mobile Application Developer since I am targeting to especialize on mobile development with Android and iPhone.

Wetting my feet with OSGi

I have just began "wetting my feet" with the OSGi technology right now. I have heard the term about a year before but it was only now that it really is catching my attention. Thanks to infoQ's presentation c/o Neil Bartlett. He gives an excellent introductory presentation on the OSGi technology. I just want to have a basic understanding and working knowledge of OSGi and integrate it to my pet projects. I am not really planning to delve into its advance topics though.

Darn, can't open Visio file in IE

And I don't have any other Visio viewer except for the damn Visio Viewer in IE... awww.. and I need to view a Visio file badly right now for my new project here in IBM.

I've already installed visioviewer.exe (visio viewer 2007), I have also installed IE8, to no avail...

I'm now trying to Update my windows thru ISSIEZUpdate...



Still, to no avail.
I even tried Windows Updated on the Tools menu of IE8. Nothing. No Result.
I removed IE8... now downloading IE7.
