Live, L♥ve, Let Go...

Last Monday we were invited to watch a documentary about the struggles of the farmers from sumilao and negros in order to get the land that supposed to be theirs. Upon seeing this kind of things, I was extremely shocked that this thing really happened in the real life, it really broke my heart to see people suffering and there is nothing we can do about it. I feel really lucky because I have the chance to eat 3 times a day wear decent clothes and shoes unlike them who are really striving so hard in order to get the the piece of land that they want to have and that really belongs to them. From now on I'll be thrifty and instead of spending all of my money to things that are not that important and maybe Ican donate the money to them instead. And as college student maybe we can help them by spreading the word and the things that is happening to them by making blogs like this and maybe some articles.

My Passion

what is passion? Passion can be expressed as a feeling of unusual excitement, enthusiasm or compelling emotion towards a subject, idea, person, or object.
A person is said to have a passion for something when they have a strong positive affinity for it.

What is my passion? Well, I admit I'm a person who has a lot of passions in life, I love to dance; for me dancing is one the things that I really love, with dancing I can express myself to other people and with dancing I can release my stress and anger. Another thing that I love to do is to play with dolls and dress them up, I even wanted to make my self a doll like the BJD'S. I'm also passionate in cosplaying or costume play because it is really fun to wear costumes and portray your favorite characters and lastly my greatest passion is Photography. I love to take pictures and make an art out of it, every captured moments and every shots that I take makes me want to practice more and challenges me to do good and to enhance my skills in it.

Is altering digital photography a form of art or is it a fraud?

Well I guess at one point you can call photo manipulation or the altering of photos a fraud because this is a cheat that can make your photos look very beautiful, add some designs and effects and remove unwanted parts of the picture. It is also a fraud if you altered it and used it in bad things like for example the using of adobe Photoshop to ruin somebody or sometimes to make some issues and to forge some images. But for a photo manipulator like me I guess altering this photos and images are still a work of art because of instead of the plain picture you can add up some effects to it that will be more appealing to the eyes and still whether its a plain photograph or an altered one it's still a work of art because you have worked hard for it and you used your talents to make it.

well this is an example of a manipulated photo:

Well these are some photos that are altered and manipulated by me but i guess even it is altered it is still a work of art because i worked hard for it and so that the photograph will look good.

The Internet

The Internet started when the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the United States Defense Department began a network called ARPANET in 1969. In 1973, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) initiated a research program to investigate techniques and technologies for interlinking packet networks of various kinds. The objective was to develop communication protocols which would allow networked computers to communicate transparently across multiple, linked packet networks. This was called the Internetting project and the system of networks which emerged from the research was known as the "Internet." The system of protocols which was developed over the course of this research effort became known as the TCP/IP Protocol Suite, after the two initial protocols developed: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP).

The Internet was conceived in the 1960s as a tool to link university and government research centers via a nationwide network that would allow a wide variety of computers to exchange information and share resources. The engineering challenges were manifold and complex, beginning with the design of a packet switching network-a system that could make computers communicate with each other without the need for a traditional central system. Other challenges included the design of the machines, data exchange protocols, and software to run it. What eventually grew out of this endeavor is a miraculous low-cost technology that is swiftly and dramatically changing the world. It is available to people at home, in schools and universities, and in public libraries and "cyber cafes."

The Internet is not owned or controlled by any company, corporation, or nation. It connects people in 65 countries instantaneously through computers, fiber optics, satellites, and phone lines. It is changing cultural patterns, business practices, the consumer industry, and research and educational pursuits.
