First of all, i would like to apologize for not being able to update in our blog. I have been experiencing creative writing difficulty and the inevitable "graduating student" dilemma.
You see, i am bombarded with numerous commitments, academically and non academically, that my schedule is as tight as a tight pants. (what!?)
Academic:
Deadlines to meet in our simulated corporation in my business program. We are also preparing for our defense - which hopefully be my ticket to the outside world. Aside from this are also the hassles that other subjects joyfully bestowed upon us. Damn.
And - i have given up all my organization commitments. Haha. Not because i'm too busy with school work but because they seem to think that Orgs should be prioritize over your studies ----- Dream On josE!
Non Academic:
I haven't graduated yet, but my parents are now giving me responsibilities that involves the word family and business... Family Business!
Hurrah! The exchange of being sent off with a business course is handling our own ordeals. I don't really protest against it because it's my way of saying "Thank You" for paying my tuition fee in all those years. Garrr.
There's also my own business that i think about. I'm having this dream to be the Lucio Tan of my generation.
Or a business tycoon for that matter.
I hope it works. happens.
Till next time - toodalo!

Why Lucio Tan? Go for Henry Sy na!
I still think Lucio Tan is far more better than Henry Sy.
It's just my opinion, but people are looking down on Lucio Tan apparently because of his involvement in the tax scam during the Marcos regime.
And actually, though Henry Sy is by far the richest person in the Philippines as of the moment when it comes to personal wealth, Tan's business assets in 30% higher than of Sy's.
When it comes to tactical knowledge about business, Tan is obviously ahead of Sy. He had to make tough decisions everyday because his field are complicated (e.g. Fortune Tobacco, PAL, Asia Brewery) as compared to Sy's "Shopping Mall Empire". It doesn't need any thorough supervising at all because shoppers will go in even without assistance and Robinson's cannot be considered a "real" threat. Although I love his idea of putting his banking empire inside his malls for easier customer access.
So there, I think what Deb wants to say is that she wants to become Lucio Tan in terms of his business abilities. Not?
I will still go for Bill Gates' business strategies though. But try not to become Steve Jobs, sacrificing quality of product over outside appearance.

Re Lucio Tan and Henry Sy: I cannot say much about this as I am not that knowledgeable about them.
Re Steve Jobs and Bill Gates: You can't be too unforgiving. The Mac Air is but a speck in Jobs' products. It was designed to be just a secondary laptop, not a primary one. The only problem here is that it's too expensive, unlike Asus EEE's.
Mac Air aside, Jobs has done a good job with his products. There's no arguing in this, is there?
Yes there is. Because as far as I can see, you are having a "recency syndrome". You are basing your statement with what is "recent".
Have you forgotten the iBook series? They have reached series G1-G4 but none of them are good and most of the products were recalled. In 2003 iBook G4 cost $1,000. An expensive price for a trash. How about the Mac's idea of keeping everything away from its user aside from the monitor and the keyboard? I mean, you are a computer student and I believe you know that there is no Mac product available where you can upgrade the computer by yourself. You cannot even tweak the BIOS or the main database. All you have with a Mac is it's obvious features, the monitor, and the keyboard. You cannot even clean your own computer. Its very much different from Windows or Linux where you have the control at the base. And for programmers, Mac is simply useless. Now Steve Jobs is complaining why programmers are giving him a thumbs down, thus affecting sales? Nuts.
The problem doesn't stop with it being expensive, its incompleteness as a computer will be one of the reason why in the coming years, Mac will be trailing behind and eventually become just part of history. A notebook for $1,800 without a DVD rom, without upgradeable hard drive, without enough ports? Buy something like that and tell me if you are happy. It's not expensive, it's overpriced!
