Facebook… Facebook… Facebook…

    Yep. Facebook.

Facebook is a social networking service and website initiated on February 2004, operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc.  Nowadays, Facebook has more than 845 million active users. Millions of people use facebook to keep in touch with their loved ones and business associates, to keep or share uploaded photos and videos and enjoy recreation. Maaari din magsave ng notes at magshare ng links about everything- news, photos, videos, tsismis, etc. from other sites. Bidang- bida din ang FB pagdating sa usapang advertisement. Ang mission nga ng “pinaka” na social network is to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected. http://www.facebook.com/facebook?sk=info). Try to watch the movie Social Network kung hindi mo pa napapanuod, para malaman mo kung paano nabuo ang facebook.  J Uhm, Mark Zuckerberg is the predecessor to Facebook. 

Ang mga Filipino,  Facebook adik ‘yan.  Ayon sa site na  http://www.socialbakers.com, na nagbibigay ng details about sa ating social networking statistic, there is 92.91% of FB users in relation to number of internet users.  Almost lahat na nag eh may facebook account, any gender, any age. The largest age group of FB users is around 18 to 24, and ther are 48% of male users at 52% ay female. Ayon naman sa http://www.internetworldstats.com/asia.htm#ph,  facebook penetration in Philippines is 26.5% at umaabot sa 27  033 680  ang facebook users sa Pilipinas as of December 31, 2011. 

Dahil nga sa dami ng Filipino FB users, sa kabila ng magagandang features ng naturang site including ang magshare ng magshare ng magshare, nagkaroon ng issue about the so-called Facebook porn attack na originated daw in the Phillipines. Oh c’mon. Mapa-Pinoy man o hindi, self discipline lang ‘yan. Hex.

I started to use Facebook when I was first year college student. Ang dahilan ko pa ‘ata noon eh meron CS group created by one of our instructor. S’yempre kailangan mag join dun eh I was not interested sa FB that time, kahit nga nung kapanahunan ng Friendster eh, wapakels ako though I have my account naman. Tapos, ayun, tuloy –tuloy na ang paggamit. How do I use my Facebook account and why am I using it? Ginagamit ko ito dahil sa features na nabanggit ko above. I don’t need to spend a lot of money para kumustahin ang relatives na nasa malayo, chat with my best of friends, magtanong ng assignments sa classmates, magtanong kay sir at ma’am about sa projects at  makipagtsikahan kay LA.J   At dahil medyo sentimental kuno ang inyong lingkod, I keep photos in my album in FB. J Minsan, nagpopost ako kung anong ginagawa ko, ‘pag super happy, badtrip or stress. Nisi-share ko din ‘yung mga info about sa mga nawawalang tao o someone who needs help o ‘yung mga warnings, minsan lang din kasi I’m not so sure kung totoo nga ‘yun. Ganyan ko lang naman s’ya gamitin. Uhm, sometimes I play games. Ang pagkakamali kong ginawa in using Fb? Wala pa naman ‘ata. Don’t try to open other accounts na lang. Ehemm… :p

Dapat kasi ganito. Baka naman may nabasa o nakita kang any negative o foul eh dadagdag ka pa sa mga magkakalat nito. Dapat iconsider mo ‘yung mga young users ng FB. Tsaka, dahil ang FB nga ay good way to reach people and a rich source of data about those people, bigyang pansin ang security and privacy. kaya nga may password eh. Kaya may choices kung SHARE ang paguusapan.. Isipin muna kung ano ba ‘yung ipopost at isi-share at kung kanino lang ito isi-share, ‘di ba? Kahit dahil maliit na bagay eh there always be people who would kill just to see you fall. Ano daw? Haha. You got my point naman di ba? Add mo na lang kaya ako, let’s be friends in FB. Hahaha! J

My Plans and Ambitions after Graduation

           March 31, 2020, around three o’clock in the afternoon, I’m on a rush. Today is a grand reunion for BSCS batch 2013. I’ll be late! (Just like the old days. J) The IT company where I’m employed sent me to London to attend in a very significant conference four days ago.

            Hahaha! ‘Ayan daw ang eksena after how many years. Saya isipin. J Tapos, after ng ilang years pa, mas maganda pa ‘yung pwedeng maging job.

            Uhm., pero, bago ang lahat, pag-usapan natin ang plano after graduation. Usually, ganito ang nangyayari kapag naka-graduate ng kolehiyo ang isang estudyante. Babasahin ang classified ads sa newspaper. Magrereserarch sa internet. Mag-iikot sa iba’t ibang lugar. Magpapasa ng resume personal o through online. Malamang ma-e-experience ko ‘yan. Mararanasan ko din ma-reject, uhm, minsan lang sana.

            Sabi ko nga, ‘pag natapos ko ang kursong Computer Science, mag-aaral ulit  ako. Pwede akong kumuha ng units para sa education para pwede akong magturo. Pwede naman na mag-law ako. Pangarap ko dati maging lawyer. Naks! Kaso, parang ayaw ko na din. Dati kasi, ayaw ko na natatalo ang katwiran ko, ngayon naman, tahimik na lang ako, emo- emohan kumbaga. Hahaha! Pa’no na ako magiging lawyer nun? Tsaka, ayaw ko na magkabisa ng sandamakmak. Simula ng magComSci ako eh parang ang hina ko na pagdating sa memorizing of something. And, ano namang laws ang pwede kong gawin?

            As a Computer Science gradute naman, ano kayang pwede kong maging trabaho? May nagtanong sa’ken kung magaling ako magprogram. Sabi ko hindi, mabagal ako. Ok lang daw ‘yun kasi madaming trainings para sa mga future programmers. Willing naman ako mag training tsaka malamang, kailangan ‘yun. So, ayun, pwede maging programmer.

            Software Engineer. ‘Yan ‘ata ang trabaho ng pinsan ko. Gusto ko ding maexperience. Software Engineer si Anjhe? Bigtime. So, kailangan ko pala mag-aral mabuti sa Software Engineering naming subject. Gusto ko din mag design ng web page, ‘yung mamamangha lahat ng makakakita. Hehe. Pwede mag apply sa Accenture, Headstrong at madaming madami pang iba. Gusto ko nga din maexperience magtrabaho sa Lenovo eh. Lenovo kasi ‘tong laptop ko (na para daw chopping board sabi ni Sir Louie. Hehehe.) Naisip ko lang, kung hindi dahil sa Lenovo, hindi ako nakapagpractice para sa mga lab activities namin sa Java, hindi kami makakapag gawa ng project sa DBMS sa school, at hindi ako payapang makakagawa ng blogs sa buong sem na ito.J

            Gusto ko din makakuha ng certificates from Cisco, Microsoft and many more. Asset ‘to. Uhm, like what I’ve above, gusto ko din magturo. Madami akong gustong ‘maging.’ Haha. Wala namn masama mag-ambisyon, sabayan na lang ng pagsisikap para maaccomplish lahat. Naks. Para ‘pag naging s successful na ako, mabibili ko na lahat ng gusto ni Nanay, pwede kong ipagshopping at ipag-grocery sina uncles and aunts, ibibili ko ng high tech na gamit mga pamangkin ko. Haha! Saya saya.

 

            “Mangarap ka at abutin mo ‘to. Wag mong sisihin ang sira among pamilya, palpak mong syota, pilay mong tuta o mga lumilipad na ipis. Kapag may pagkukulang sa’yo ang mga magulang mo, pwede kang manisi at maging rebelde. Tumigil ka sa pag-aaral, mag-asawa ka. Mag-drugs ka, magpakulay ka ng buhok sa kili-kili. Rebeldeng walang napatunayan at walang bait sa sarili.” – Bob Ong

Thesis Title? Ahmm…

THESIS? Thesis is a document submitted in support of candidature for an academic degree or professional qualification presenting the author's research and findings.
 Research Paper sa English 2. Thesis Writing sa English 7. ‘Yan ay pinagdaanan na namin. Kung tutuusin, hindi naman ganun kahirap ang paggawa. Practice lang kumbaga. Any topic na related sa ComSci ay pwede. Tapos, ngayon, third year na kami. Wala na kaming English subject pero may COSC200A- Undergraduate Thesis na. THESIS. This is it.
Ang plano? Dati naisip ko eh magcreate ng system para sa isang organization. Attendance Monitoring System, Payroll System, Student Information System etc. MIS. Kasi, simula second year, ganun ang mga project namin. Dun kami nahasa. Pero, naisip ko din, CS can do something better and unique.
Napag-usapan namin dati ng isa kong prof (Sir Abanes) ‘yung system na magdedetect ng sound na naproproduce ng katawan ng tao.
Nang lumabas ang Computer Science Research Thrusts, mas lalo kaming nahirapan.


-cloud computing
-empathic and ubiquitous computing
-virtual reality
-artificial intelligence system
-computer-based game development
-fuzzy logic



Dahil sa topic na yan lalo kami nahirapan mag decide kung ano ba jan ang pipiliin namen. Naisip namen na kung sound detector ng katawan ng tao paano siya makakatulong, syempre hindi naman pwede na basta nakagawa ka nalang diba!. Dapat ang gagawen mo may impact at dapat useful sa tao hindi ung nagawa mo nga tapos ano pang display lang. Naisip namen na makakatulong siya sa aspect na mas madali malalaman kung ano ano ba ang nagagawa ng ingay ng tao.

Base sa ginawa nming pananaliksik/research sound detector nga tao o kaya hayop ay isang artificial intelligence system kasi nagagawa nito ang ibang bagay na nagagawa ng tao. Nagging artificial intelligence system ito kasi live niya na naririnig then I-di-distinguish niya kung anong klasing hayop ito.  Ang gagamitin namen na hardware para dun if ever man microphone or bot and balak namen na style wifi sya. WIFI in the aspect na may allotted range siya na kakayanin.

Oooppsss!! Trivia muna alam niyo ba ang artificial intelligence system ay branch of computer science concerned with making computers behave like humans. The term was coined in 1956 by John McCarthy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Artificial intelligence includes

• games playing: programming computers to play games such as chess and checkers
• expert systems : programming computers to make decisions in real-life situations (for example, some expert systems help doctors diagnose diseases based on symptoms)
• natural language : programming computers to understand natural human languages
• neural networks : Systems that simulate intelligence by attempting to reproduce the types of physical connections that occur in animal brains
• robotics : programming computers to see and hear and react to other sensory stimuli
Yan ang mga klase ng Artificial Intelligence System. Hope you learn . . :p. Now lets bak to topic sound detector.


Kung sound detector ng hayop naman ang gagawen namen. . . syempre kung sound detector ng hayop makakatulong pa din un kasi tulad sa mga mahilig mag explore sa buong mundo, lalo na pag nasa gubat ka ingay pa lang ng hayop maririnig mo na madedetect mo pa kung ano un. Sa tingin namen ang unang magbebenifits nito eh ang mga mahilig mag adventure sa madaming hayop na kakaiba o keya naman ay sa mga taong mahilig sa forest for hiking :D.. .  aus diba . !

Isa lang yan sa mga pang thesis na naiisip namen.. . hehehe!! Dinga?? . ang masaket nga lang ang pagagawa ng gantong system ay mahirap talga . . marami pa nmang research thrust at marami pang demand and mga tao kea isip, isip, pa kame ng iba. . .

Foods That I Always Crave For

    If there’s one thing Filipinos love, ito ay ang pagkain. Parang ako, I love eating (hindi lang halata. Hehehe!) Just always remember na we must eat right kind and right amount of food.

    Ang dami nagsasabi na pihikan at kaunti lang daw ako kumain kasi nga I’m so thin. S’yempre, depende ‘yun sa oras ng pagkain, sa food na ise-serve at sa lasa nito. I eat gulay naman, sea foods at meat, ‘wag nga lang ako hahainan ng exotic foods. ‘Eto naman ang ilan sa mga pagkain na hinahanap hanap ng kumakalam kong sikmura. :p

McDonald’s Hot Fudge Sundae 

     Cool ice cream, meet warm fudge. J

     Paborito ko ang ice cream and Hot Fudge Sundae makes a twist kasi ito ay reduced fat soft serve vanilla ice cream, smothered in chocolaty fudge sauce. (http://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en/food/product_nutrition.dessertsshakes.182.Hot-Fudge-Sundae.html) Love ko ‘to!

     The good thing about eating Hot Fudge Sundae is low in Sodium ito. Ingat ingat nga lang ‘yung mga bawal ng matatamis at ‘yung mga nagda-diet d’yan because this food is high in Saturated Fat, and a large portion of the calories in this food come from sugars.  (http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/foods-from-mcdonalds/6286/2)

Hot Sundae Fudge

Cheezy Baked Mac

            A simple and cheesy home made macaroni and cheese. Mahilig ako sa pasta at macaroni. Kahit anong luto ata, gusto ko. Spaghetti. Fettucini. Carbonara. Macaroni Salad. Kaya lang, madalas ‘yun ang kinakain ko lalo na kapag may occasions. Ewan ko ba, pero itong Baked Mac eh minsan lang. The best baked mac na natikman ko eh ‘yung niluto ng asawa ng pinsan ko. Parang ayaw kong tigilan. Hahaha! So cheesy pa. Mahilig din kasi ako sa keso. 

Sinigang na Hipon

  

Sinigang na Hipon

             

            It has a tempting taste that stimulates people’s tastebuds.

            This is one of the best ulam talaga na natikman ko in my whole life, lalo na ‘pag si Nanay ko ang nagluto. So nutritious pa.   I’m craving for this talaga. At this moment kasi, hindi ako makakain ng madami nito dahil sa skin allergy. Amp! Hayaan mo, ‘pag hindi na ako inaatake, lagot kang hipon ka. Hahaha!

Fries ng Kerrimo

           

Patatas. Potato sa English. Pomme de terre sa French. Patata sa Italy. Potato is good source of dietary energy and some micronutrients and its protein is very high in comparison with other roots and tubers. ( http://www.potato2008.org/en/potato/factsheets.html)

            Favorite ko talaga ang patatas. Always available kahit saan. Sa tabi-tabi nga lang eh makakabili ka na ng fries worth ten pesos.  Nakakabitin nga lang. So, much better, magluto na lang sa bahay. Hehe. Pero, the best pa din if I buy sa Kerrimo though may kamahalan din. Sarap sarap. Pwede pa mamili ng flavors. Mas masarap kung libre ni Lucky Aquino. Hahaha. J

Kerrimo Fries

Chocolate

           “Hungry? Why wait?” – Snickers

           “Melts in your mouth, not in your hand.” – M&Ms

            “Award yourself with a Cadbury’s Dairy Milk” – Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Chocolate

“Delightfully Delicious One-of-a-kind Kisses”- Kisses
            Nakakatakam.

            I love sweets. I love chocolates. Chocoholic ‘ika nga.  Hindi dahil sa naniniwala ako na nakakapagpataba ito. Hehe. Basta, lagi ko itong hinahanap-hanap. Madaming myths about sa pagkain ng chocolate. It causes tooth decay daw, acne and hyperactivity. Pinabulaanan ito ng site na nabasa ko (http://www.allchocolate.com/health/myths/), kaya ako, kakain at kakain pa din ng chocolates. J

Basketball: Sport I Usually Play During Leisure

Zzzzz..

Tulog.

Kain.

Household chores.

Tulog.

Nood ng palabas sa tv o movie sa laptop.

Computer. Angry Birds.  DOTA. Ran. 

Wala na bang iba?

Dumaan ang tropa. Nagyaya magbasketball. Shoot. Labas muna ako. Maglalaro muna

Trivia muna.

Dr. James Naismith is known world-wide as the inventor of basketball. He was born in 1861 in Ramsay township, near Almonte, Ontario, Canada. The concept of basketball was born from Naismith's school days in the area where he played a simple child's game known as duck-on-a-rock outside his one-room schoolhouse. The game involved attempting to knock a "duck" off the top of a large rock by tossing another rock at it. Naismith went on to attend McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. After serving as McGill's Athletic Director, James Naismith moved on to the YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA in 1891, where the sport of basketball was born. In Springfield, Naismith was faced with the problem of finding a sport that was suitable for play inside during the Massachusetts winter for the students at the School for Christian Workers. Naismith wanted to create a game of skill for the students instead of one that relied solely on strength. He needed a game that could be played indoors in a relatively small space. The first game was played with a soccer ball and two peach baskets used as goals. Naismith joined the University of Kansas faculty in 1898, teaching physical education and being a chaplain. 

 (http://www.kansasheritage.org/people/naismith.html)

I play badminton, volleyball, soccer etc. Oo, lahat na. Pero, basketball is the sport I usually play during leisure. Kapag nagsawa sa kakatitig sa tv o computer, ito ang hinahanap ko. Uhm, bakit? Kasi ganito…

Basketball, commonly, is a fun past time for anyone, mapa-bata o matanda. Masasabi din na isa itong form of exercise. I have same interest with my friends and isa na nga dito ang paglalaro nito. It is a best thing you can do with your peers while burning calories. Hahaha! Pero, totoo ‘yun. J

One thing I love in basketball eh, pwede mo itong laruin ng may kasama, one-on-one o isang buong team talaga, pwede din na ikaw lang mag-isa. You can really fight the boredom by playing this. Madami ka pang matutunan. Bukod sa makakakita ka ng iba’t ibang strategies and styles sa paglalaro tulad ng pagiging magaling na shooter, passer, defensive player, playmaker and dunker, may good attitudes ka pa na ma-eenhance. Kailangan kasi dito ang teamwork, sportsmanship, etc.  Mas mabuti na din ang maglaro nito kaysa sa maghapon kang maglaro ng computer games. Basta, avoid having a dirty games. J

All About Database Management System

I took this subject when I was second year, A.Y. 2010-2011, second semester. Anong meron sa subject na ito? From the word itself, ‘eto ang pag-aaralan. Database Management System;

database- is a collection of related data;

management- planning, organizing, leading, and controlling of 

something and;

system-  is a whole compounded of several parts or 

members. Pero, ito talaga yun…

Para mas malinaw, DBMS is a system used to create, maintain, and provide controlled access to user databases. It provides methods in adding, updating, storing and retrieving data in the database. 

Sa mga unang araw ng pag-aaral (ehemm), ang una naming tinalakay is ‘yung comparison ng traditional at  modern file processing at ang mga advantages and disadvantages nito. The advantages of database approach are: 

• Program data independence

• Palanned data redundancy

• Improved data consistency

• Increased productivity of application development

• Enforcement of standards

• Improved data quality

• Improved data accessibility and responsiveness

• Reduced program maintenance

• Improved decision support

Kaya lang, kapag may dbms, kailangan ng specialized personnel, mas mahal, kailangan ng back up copies of data at sa paggamit nito, kung di magaling mag manage eh pwedeng magkaron ng organizational conflict.

The components of the database system must also be discussed. Paano ka magsisimula kung hindi mo ito alam? 

• Computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools

• Repository

• DBMS

• Database

• Application Programs

• User Interface

• Data and Database Administrators

• System Developers

• End users

    Database design. The database development design phases brings up the concept of data models. Knol stated that “in the implementation design phase, the conceptual data model is translated into a logical representation of the database system. The logical data model conveys the logical functioning and structure of the database  and describes 'how the data is stored' (Dan et al., 2007) (e.g. what tables are used, what constraints are applied) but is not specific to any DBMS. Logical database model is a lower-level conceptual model, which must be translated to a physical design.  Physical modelling deals with the representational aspects and the operational of the database, i.e. the internal DBMS specific operations and processes and how the DBMS interacts with the data, the database and the user. The translation from logical design to physical design assigns functions to both the machine (the DBMS) and to the user functions such as storage and security and additional aspects such as consistency (of data) and learn ability are dealt with in the physical model/schema. Practically speaking, a physical schema is the SQL coe used to build the database.” (http://knol.google.com/k/database-design-steps-how-to-develop-a-database#)

     Dito nga pag-aaralan ang ilang data models gaya ng entity relationship model which is defined as a representation of the data for an organization or for a business which is presented through ERD o entity relationship diagram. May ERD formal semantics ito that must be thoroughly understood, in order to create correct diagrams.

            Dito ko narinig ang  normalization na may iba’t ibang forms which  is the process of efficiently organizing data in a database. There are two goals of the normalization process: eliminating redundant data and ensuring data dependencies make sense. Both of these are worthy goals as they reduce the amount of space a database consumes and ensure that data is logically stored. 

     Mapapag-aralan din dito ang data administration  that has function of managing and maintaining database management systems (DBMS) software at how to manage data security na ang goal is the protection of data from accidental or intentional threats to their integrity and access. May iba’t ibang way para dito.

     Ito ang overview at naaalala ko about DBMS. Nang ma-take ko ang subject na ‘to, sa totoo lang, dun ko naramdaman ang pressure ng pagiging ComSci. :p
