			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Writing an essay about a computer is such a general topic. Although to simply put, the computer has made me lazy.  While growing up, I only got my hands on a computer when I reached high school. There was a point in my life that I relied too much on the MS word to correct my grammar that I never did give any much attention that maybe at some point, the MS word can also be wrong. Playing solitaire half of the time while waiting for dinner to be served. When the internet came, I also relied too much on the internet to find words that I could use for a more eloquent or an articulate manner of writing for my essays. Although, I still did some real research through the use of libraries or encyclopedias to compare my finding. A computer is also another form of an addictive substance, add an internet connection, you’re gone. You are out of here – meaning you are glued to your seat and in-front of a computer almost 24/7. In my case, I can’t live without it.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_617" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 610px"><a class="thickbox" title="unedited photo of myself six years ago." rel="me" href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_urmLivrn4dU/SlBUJK9ykhI/AAAAAAAAD-Y/cy_hKsF20f0/s800/_hr_20030205.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-617 " title="computer in the modern world" src="http://poeticpixel.box.com.ph/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/_hr_20030205.jpg" alt="computer in the modern world" width="600" height="400" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">computer in a modern world or in my world?</p></div><br />
<a class="thickbox" title="Edited version" rel="me" href="http://poeticpixel.box.com.ph/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/_hr_20030205.jpg"></a><br />
Nowadays, having a computer is a sort of cheap entertainment when connected to the internet. We have download-able games, free-wares, online games, online chat, online social networking websites, open forums, blogs, video sites, and (<em>for the bitter truth</em>) pornography. As the saying goes, “<a title="YouTube search" href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=internet+is+for+porn&amp;search_type=&amp;aq=f" target="_blank"><em>the internet is made for porn</em></a>”. I am not saying that I use the internet for that but that may sound too much of a hypocrite. I can understand why some companies block some websites on office hours; it is to limit their employees to waste time on nonsense activities instead of focusing or giving 100% of their attention to give quality work then again there are times when you just need to find a way to release office stress other than smoking. To a person who was born in the computer age, what is life to them if without these cheap entertainment? I’d think it will add more high-blood pressure and head-aches.</p>
<p>Adding contrast to the topic, it made most of the modern life easily accessible. For example: Business transactions made faster through emails, online shopping carts, and money transfers; Documents in a paper free environment, no more wasted crumpled papers in the trash can, no more type-writers, no more correctional fluids; Free information at the tip of your hands; real-time communications made possible; and meeting new friends. This is not the point. The internet is indeed a source of good and bad product but to sum it up, having a computer is part of my life and what I do. I am a web designer: the computer is my tool. It should not be the one controlling me. However, if it were not for the computer and the internet, I would not have made a conscious effort to study on my own or purchase certain books to compare my research and the knowledge that I gain.</p>
<hr />This topic, in actuality, is about a recent affair that I encountered with someone I know and this is simply a form of outburst for the lack of a better term to express what is in my head. I cannot describe what exactly has happened that day but it started with this topic and how it made certain people who relied too much on a computer to solve their &#8220;problem&#8221;. I read some essays from college students whose English teacher has condone to mediocrity on proper English grammar. In all my life, growing up and studied in a public school, this is not how it was taught to us. I&#8217;d have to thank my parents on how they always nag on me to read the dictionary every single day and how they insist that I should do my own research for my homework and assignments from school.</p>
<p>How I wish to give out examples of those students’ write ups but I do not want to destroy anyone’s integrity and having said that, through this and with this article of mine - I may already have.</p>
<p>“<em>Bato-bato sa langit, ang tamaan huwag magalit</em>” - a Tagalog/Filipino proverb or saying. In rough English translation means, “<em>Stones from the sky, those who gets hit shouldn’t get mad</em>.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s easy to post senseless hate, spam, or flames over the internet since no one can really know who you are over the internet unless someone finds out who you truly are. I&#8217;ve seen a lot of trash talks on the internet, be it a racist or an angst-driven teenager wanting to be noticed. It&#8217;s also easy to feel angry rather than to be collect and rational. The emotion is such a complicated but wonderful aspect of a human being.</p>
<p>Some people know how to go about it and some just can&#8217;t stop, think, and listen. I admit that sometimes, I get overwhelmed by my own emotions when I&#8217;m being attacked by strangers with loose tongues or read something that generalizes my race in a negative way. Sometimes, I react too much from it showing my vulnerable spot – my ego. People tend to see things wrongly and will also react badly to the situation.</p>
<p>One night, I was talking to someone I know, who I will call by the name of Bob, telling him about this article I read on the internet about a rare (<em>almost extinct bird</em>) found somewhere here in the Philippines. The bird was captured by poachers and sold to the market to be eaten. There was a comment particular comment generalizing the people in my country that we are too poor and more or less making us look like &#8220;<em>savages</em>&#8220;. A lot of Filipinos read that comment and started flaming the guy. I told myself, &#8220;<em>I&#8217;m too passive or rather too tired to comment</em>.&#8221; Bob reacted and said that just by flaming already shows that they are somewhat &#8220;<em>savages</em>&#8220;.</p>
<p>I, then, changed the subject to another situation I had. Earlier that day, I was having a conversation with someone I know, who I will call John Doe, from the US who was surprised that I drink iced tea. He didn&#8217;t know that there are also ice teas outside the US. Bob got agitated and flamed about the iced tea. I raised my hand to make him stop and I continued with my story. From the reaction that John Doe did, I almost got mad myself but I told John Doe that I was also surprised by his reaction and so John Doe explained that even in some areas in the US, a tea is considered hot. With that explanation, Bob calmed down. I quickly asked, &#8220;<em>Now, who&#8217;s being a savage?</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>I am not mad with Bob or with John Doe. My mother always tells me, &#8220;<em>Kung sinong nakakaintindi, sya ang magpakumbaba.</em>&#8221; (Rough translation: <em>Those who can understand must humble themselves.</em>)</p>
<p>I saw this video from <a href="http://b.pmgomez.com/wp-trackback.php?p=209" target="_blank">Martin</a> and it&#8217;s totally unrelated but it&#8217;s something to &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f0q_A7EP3s">Think</a>&#8221; about.<br />
