resistance bacolod...

That's how many months? 4 months since the last post on my blog where I talked about the game Ingress and here I am posting another one still about the game. Since that summer walkathon we had our Ingress Bacolod family got bigger, I never imagined that step can lead to where we are right now. Last September we had our 1st event a localized battle between the 2 factions in our school, we called it The USLS Clash. Around 42 players from both sides, other came all the way from Cebu and Manila. Sadly the other faction won that event, we were out numbered but it was a great experience that left us thinking what would it be like if it's the official anomaly. We are lucky that on December 13 there's a satellite event in Manila called Darsana anomaly and we hope to take part on that day. Peace! Resistance Bacolod

resistance is futile...

One Sunday afternoon I'm out driving to a place I'm not really familiar with, looking at my gps occasionally making sure I'm on the right direction and going to the right spot. My destination, Talisay City Hall. Arriving at the area I saw my target and there's two of them, driving slow to get the right distance from the center just enough for my deployments to spread wide. Eight resonators and two modifications for each of them, hacked it for about 3 times to get some keys and I'm done. Next stop, a church along the highway going back to the big city. I missed my spot, need to leave my vehicle and walk through the area, location is off the road so one must walk to an alley to capture it. One guy is staring at me maybe wondering what the heck is he doing? Deployment is done, keys secured. Monday is another day, it's work to most of us but to me and to others of my kind it's another day of resistance. We're out making sure that the city is protected from ...

the heckler...

I don't really understand why the need to interrupt the president during his speech. While free speech is a guaranteed right there's a proper forum for that exercise. In this country we have left leaning partylist groups in our congress, the same groups behind the street rallies we often see in the news. To use the reason of "wanted to be heard" thus heckling is quite out of order. The presidency is the highest position in this land one can ever take and it must be regarded with so much respect and honor. If our people can't do that, how do we expect the same people to respect the heads in our family, our parents. Peace!

holy week 2014...

Never been really a religious person myself but living in the biggest Christian nation in Asia makes one go on how the holy week is observed. Holy week is a moment for Roman Catholics and other believers to stop for awhile and reconnect with the religious side of their lives. Not all religiously observes the old practices though, for some it's the time to hit the beach or travel to places for some relaxing moments away from the busy city life. Visita Iglesia or Church visits is one of those widely done practices where one tries to visit 7 churches to pray in the 14 stations of the cross in each church. Peace!

quotes on IT....

Asked my students to write an essay about their experience taking Information Technology and here are some of the quotable words. Peace!  IT students needs lots of dedication and originality.                                                - Ronald Poja (IT) Makes me stay awake at 3am and sometimes 5am having a date with my laptop.                                                                                                  - Mary Joy Torevilla IT will always be my kind of crazy.                 - Angeli Nicole Morales
