INTERNET.. What comes to your mind when you hear that word? ---- Convenience, yeah, that’s more on easy way of living when it comes to information collection. Basically, before I learned about this internet, I thought it was only about doing e-mails and attachments for some work related stuff, but as time goes by, and as I got more curious about this so called internet, I realized that it is also about the widespread of information about anything, for just few clicks you’ll know something and you’ll learn anything you want to. Recently, I learned that internet was not made for this type of purpose, but then it became more useful than it was used to be. INTERNET HIGHWAYS or SUPERHIGHWAYS; flashes of lights, speed of transportation and many things linked to each other, that is what my imagination created as I think of high way. So where will we end up if internet and highway combines? Boooom! Literally speaking.. :D

        Well, Filipinos are known because of huge number of users of the internet, this is why we can keep a certain topic remain trending on twitter right? We also keep on viewing lots of videos on YouTube during our spare time, remains online until midnight or even morning chatting with someone important to us, and lastly doing homework and research papers with the help of this internet , and everything is so easy now because of it. But .. I’m not saying that I am not favor with the creation of internet, I just want to have a STOPLIGHT right now, stoplight which I can use to control the usage of internet, all of us are free to do and free to learn everything, but isn’t it much better to learn things because you experienced on doing it or by discovering it by yourself? And isn’t it much better to receive a letter written by your loved ones rather than receiving an e-mail sent on your account? I felt guilty with my statement actually, because I know that right now, I am already using the internet with this blog, but what else I can do? XD let’s assume a highway without any stoplight anywhere, chaos may occur and lots of people will be affected, so for an internet SUPERHIGHWAY, it’s hard to go on if no one is controlling us, let yourself be our own stoplight, we should know where to STOP, SLOW DOWN and GO..

            

week 5: "Where you Belong"

Where you BELONG..

     What else can I say about the MMA? Well let me first tell you my first impression about the multi-media arts; we all know that this is all about the world of art for the term itself describe its own meaning, and of course in doing photography and editing too. But as time goes by, I learned how to be comfortable with everyone, just like how a family member comforts another in times of trouble, and the way how your siblings cheer you up every time you’re in need. This blog is not a dramatic poetry but as I keep on typing on the keyboard it seems like my hands have their own mind and have their own freedom to tell whatever they like. The MMA Family is not that big in numeral but every moment that they’re together, it appears like a one big happy family. Hey? Why am I using the term “they’re”? I can say that even though I’m new in this family, I still belong here because this is where I can find myself, and this is where I can see happiness. Am I getting too serious with this? Ha-ha-ha anyway let’s keep rolling.

        We held our general MMA assembly last Thursday ( July 19,2012 ) it was fun to meet them and to be able to know them better, yes, they’re a bit older than us but it was like we’re just one. One in passion and one in dreams, and I can say that most of them were talented and I’ll admit it I only have  ¼ of their talent, but this is not about the competition, this is about the unity of a family, unity on having fun and unity on making things go right. I only spent almost more than a month of my life with the MMA and I’m starting to feel that I am belong, even though I am not as jolly type of person as the other, I still enjoy on seeing that everyone is having fun with every moment we shared. Now I have my 2^nd family next to my loving and biological family. And I want to know them more and I want to rise up and feel free to say that.. ” on MMA family: This is where I truly belong”

week 4: All for One! One for All! :)

             "All for One! One for All!! :)  "

           So what’s up? Here I go again writing my BlogSpot entry for this week, well, I’m starting to enjoy this weekly homework. Doing blog is not really my thing but through this, I am free to express myself that it was hard for me to express most of the time. But of course I am very sorry if I will be wrong in my grammar sometimes, I’m not that good on creating thoughts through words. I just hope I can entertain you for a moment that you’ll be able to read this fro top to bottom. But here I go. J

            So what’s our topic tonight? Hum, so it’s TEAMWORK. J Teamwork is a self-explanatory type of word; it’s all about working with the team, that does it. Ha-ha. Yeah we all know that we have our currently processing 5 minute video about the history and evolution of communication, so I think this is why our dear professor Ms. Kagaoan gave us this kind of topic, we need teamwork if we really want to finish our video accurately. But how will we know if teamwork is going on around us? For me, seeing that everybody is participating, suggesting and doing helpful stuff is a part of having teamwork, how important is teamwork? VERY IMPORTANT! To be honest. You can’t come up with something successful if you’re all by yourself, you need someone to talk to and to ask for some suggestions right? And doing those actions is teamwork. I just want to share this with you guys; I really had fun shooting for our video. I think I can say that we had teamwork that moment, because all of us tried to be more cooperative than usual. As a result, we only have to do few things for the finishing touch of the video. One more thing, let’s relate TEAMWORK with COMMUNICATION. Expand your thoughts; you can’t have teamwork if you won’t communicate. Communication itself is really powerful, important and sometimes should be used redundantly, it’s all part of our life, communicating and having teamwork. Both of them were important, so guys, “All for one! One for All!” J

WEEK 3: flashbaaack

	Flashback on a SNAP!!

            

             ~snap~ snail mail, beeper, fax machines, telegraph, and huge phones are the things that pop up on my head when I think of something ancient way of communication (just to clarify, not so ancient). Well I asked my older relatives about those stuff and they told me that BEEPER, well im mot so sure if I understood it correct but they said that through it, you may send your message to other people by entering some codes, an operator will answer you then will connect you on phone then will let you say your message to your respective receiver. We still have an example of beeper here at home, it’s as big as a pack of cigarette with a one line screen on top of it with battery slots at the bottom, and I remembered that my uncle used it before when he was still having his previous job. I chose to emphasize the beeper because for me it is the closest thing to the cellphone nowadays. Then recently, email, internet, chatting, yahoo, facebook, cellphones etc. came along. The slower processes of communicating people instantly vanished. Everything happens with a snap, you can simply say HI to your friend who is very far from you, you can tell everything to anyone as you stay connected to the lifestyle that we have nowadays OOH POWER OF TECHNOLOGY..

          I usually relate myself every time I make my blog entries every week and I can say that this topic affects me so much. Why? It’s just an eye opener for me that everything has changed, YES. It’s a big help for everyone that we can communicate to everyone we wanted to stay connected to, but isn’t it too harsh that because of these things people may end up damaged? DAMAGED because soon enough it is possible to happen that no one knows how to socialize personally and face to face? That everyone prefers to communicate virtually? That most of the people are fooling us behind our back unconsciously because we don’t even know who really they are? (NAHH!) anyway let’s go back to our main topic here, “ how does technology changed the way we communicate?” well, TECHNOLOGY  is powerful and COMMUNICATION is connected with it whatever we do. And I think that is how it transforms the way our communication was used to be. It goes beyond limits instantly, and for it’s result.. INSTANT communication. Yeah instant. Instant. Instant. That’s what people likes. Alright! Im getting redundant here already xD end here.. ~snap~
