Macafra on RH Bill

As I’ve read in the Inquirer article, “Reproductive health bill: Facts, fallacies”, written by Rep. Edcel Lagman, the bill does not have any bias for or against either natural or modern family planning. It basically involves our right as Filipino citizens to live a comfortable and satisfying life.
The bill aims to improve the existing reproductive health services provided to us. As written in the same article, “… It (the RH Bill) is a departure from the present setup in which the provision for reproductive health services is devolved to local government units, and consequently, subjected to the varying strategies of local government executives and suffers from a death of funding…”

My Cellphone, I Can Count On

Me and my Nokia 7610 have been through a lot of things. I bought this phone 3 years ago when I was in my 1st year of College. It's the phone that I've used for the longest time. What made this phone special for me is the fact that before I got my desktop computer and other gadgets, my mobile phone served as my all around device. It serves as my communication gadget of course, but it also serves as my music player, my gaming device (gameboy advance games), and it also does the things that needs to be done with a computer like surfing the internet and creating a document and worksheet (msword and ms excel). This things are done of course using softwares which can be found across the internet. Don't try to find them, good cracks are hard to find, haha!

NOT just a phone anymore

Cellphones are becoming essential part of human life nowadays. This fact is so obvious. Wherever I go, I can surely find someone using their phones – on the jeepneys, along the streets, in the malls, in the campus – literally everywhere!
While it's true that cellphones have tremendous benefits in terms of communications, they are now beyond their basic purpose and bombarded with loads of other features. I can still remember the first mobile phone I ever had – the ancient and not so slim Nokia 5610, with antenna, of course. It is so different with the flashy phones we can see today.

My "almost" ALL AROUND gadget

Yes. You’ve read it right. I call describe the mobile phone as the "almost" ALL AROUND gadget. It helps me in a lot of ways. (I was actually hoping for it to already do the household chores for me, hehe. Just in my dreams, I guess.)

A cellphone, as we modernly call it, is basically a necessity now thana luxury. Even Pinoys who don’t earn much and only at the minimum wage already have a cellphone. Also, you can see those who live in dumpsites and those who don’t have a permanent home holding a phone and texting. Sometimes, their phones are even more expensive than mine.

I just love to TOUCH =))

According to wikipedia, a touchscreen is an electronic visual display that can detect the presence and location of a touch within the display area. The term generally refers to touching the display of the device with a finger or hand. Touchscreens can also sense other passive objects, such as a stylus.

The touchscreen has two main attributes. First, it enables one to interact directly with what is displayed, rather than indirectly with a cursor controlled by amouse or touchpad.

ÜberMinds Say: 10 most significant inventions

The life today is so much different from the life thousands of years ago. Imagine the pre-historic age. The Java man would already be happy to fill its stomach with food. He wouldn't mind traveling on bare foot just to get food. He wouldn't even think about what's the latest gossip in town or check his facebook account. Well, the facebook thing is a very ironic fact. But as man started to think about his welfare and what his surroundings can give him, he starts making use of his imagination and builds things that can make his life easier –  INVENTIONS.
