The "Unscheduled" Pictorial of Jade Lopez

June 4, 2008

Almost three months ago, Jade and her mom surprised me on our condo and invited me to go to SM North Edsa with them to buy some shoes that she will be needing for her taping the next day. She was able to buy three pairs which really looked good on her. We ate pizza afterwards and went to the department store when one of the devoted Starstruck fans approached us and he is now working for the leading asian make-up line.

A part of me also wants to be a photographer and since she came from her sponsor’s shop before she went to our condo, I told them that I want to take pictures of her. Little did I know that they liked the idea.

We end up asking for the guard’s permission if we can take pictures at the rooftop of the condo. There’s a big swimming pool there and you can clearly see the whereabouts of the people staying in Camp Crame. The yuppies having fun at Greenhills can be seen too.

First, I took some pictures of Jade using the digital camera my mom sent to me:

 

Then I ran out of battery.

The solution? Use your camera phone :)

Random Computer-Related Facts I Learned in Grade I

June 1, 2008

I was seven years old when I first had the chance to sit infront of the computer. There’s a floppy disk placed in a white Verbatim envelope and a pink diskette too.

When I first pressed the Power button, some random information about the computer appeared. I remember my teacher instructing us to type the "A prompt" and press the enter key.

If you want to type one letter in capital form, just press SHIFT+LETTER.

If you want to type in ALL CAPS, Just press the CAPS LOCK key.

Press F1 for help.

There are 12 Function Keys

The first counting device ever invented was the Abacus by the chinese people. I was used to add, subtract, multiply and divide digits.

INPUT - PROCESS - OUTPUT

The CPU is the brain of the computer 

The Keyboard is like a typewriter. Ermm.. the better version of the typewriter.

The Monitor is like a tv screen.

There are two types of computer memory: Random Access Memory ( or ram) and the Read Only Memory ( rom )

I am truly amazed with the typing tutor and printshop programs.

I first learned about these facts in 1994.

Fourteen years after, kids ages 7 years old up can create their own email accounts, add up friends in friendster, facebook or myspace, chat with friends via YM or MSN, send mobile updates via twitter, upload their own videos in YouTube, create and update their own blog sites and yes, they can even surf on websites that are not intended for minors.
