When I was born twenty years ago, the world witnessed the birth of one of the OrCommunicologists there is now. I was not prepared to land on where I am now but I am happy because I have been part of a revolution where I play as the soldier and communication as the weapon.
I heard gossips. I participated in some. I have even been part of those talked-about behind-my-back. I know. It is normal. What is the use of these? What will it generate after? Fame? Fun? Or just nothing?
We started to build our ideals when we were kids. Most of us, I assumed, wanted to be teachers, nurses and doctors. Growing up with my mom and grandmother who both know how to sew clothes, I was partly influenced to be a designer (although I admit I first wanted to be a doctor) and make people’s clothes. I even dreamed of becoming a model until I realized I am stuck with this height. This dream career was hyped up when I entered high school. I gained friends who dress really well and whose sense of fashion I really adore.
Being in love might be one of the sweetest things one can ever fall for. It may even be the best. True? How about looking for that one special love? I believe it is no joke to find one. It may even be the difficult part in experiencing love.
And by the way, have you seen yours?
Entering the fast-paced era of technology, people no longer find themselves divulge in one kind of activity. The advent of new kind of technology and knowledge expose them to things way beyond their imagination. These also transform how the division of labor works for most.
Specialization, for some, may be the end of finding ways to distribute a work. When one knows something, she will be assigned to do a job. This is the typical scene people see in the working arena. However, as we move along the way today, HYPERSPECIALIZATION comes into play.
When professors require you to read online articles, it may be no fun.
In our Debate and Argumentation class, our professor required us to constantly read articles on the websites of Al Jazeera, The Economist and The Philippine Daily Inquirer to make ourselves aware of the issues happening around the globe. I guess it was NOT an unreasonable requirement. Being an Iskolar ng Bayan entails critical thinking whenever an idea is discussed and one cannot do that if he/she knows nothing. Since then, reading articles from these sites plus other sites (including Time’s) became a habit. Although I admit that I do not read all of the articles, I read those that I deem helpful to my life as a student and as a responsible citizen of Earth.
An article entitled “10 Things You Shouldn’t Do On Facebook” caught my attention as I was browsing through the site of Time. It was funny because I have read other posts on things that should not be done online and on Facebook but this offered a different perspective.
My internship at Primer Group of Companies was a fun-filled experience since that was first experience of a real job on a real company. My first few days were a bit frightening because I met the bosses and I was sort of scared of the tasks that will be given. However, it all turned out fun because my immediate boss, Ms. Maddie, guided me all throughout my internship journey.
If you are wondering why I have this screenshot in the left, then you go find out by reading the whole story. If you are wondering what this screenshot is, then you are a bit outdated of the new face of FACEBOOK.
The advent of technology revamped how the world works today . Internet paved way to an easier communication line among people around the globe. It also gave people a sense of security that they can do almost anything with it anywhere in real-time, a sense of confidence to say and do what they want and a sense of belonging to look for people who has the same preferences.
Over the years, we have witnessed how trending issues fluctuated in the Internet. Some lasted for a long period of time while others did not. These Internet memes created craze and ‘buzz’ and served as an influence to the online culture.
