I dream to be a leading actress. Ever since I was a sprog, acting has always been part of me. Every time I watch the shows on television, I always see myself as the leading actress who has an outstanding role. We all know that a dream is essential because a dream itself won't accomplish anything but wasting your time and making you wish for something that doesn't exist. But when I read about the best selling book of Napoleon Hill where he wrote that man, alone, has the power to transform his thoughts into physical reality; man, alone, can dream and make his dreams come true, I was enlightened about it and I realized that achieving ones dream is just to put an effort and focus on your dream. And a little help from others will do help to make you accomplish your dream even better. One must not also forget that she must have faith in herself and never to forget to believe in her own potentials. So I believe that my dream to be an actress will definitely come true sooner or later.

My Passion. (:
As a student, I do have lots of passions in my life. But there are only two passions in my life that I'm really deeply, deadly in love about. One of it is the cars. Well basically, I really have no ideas about cars like its parts, makes, brands, and what so ever. I just love staring at those radiant cars and riding on it. Well maybe I was also influenced by the three constant guys in my life which is my dad and my two elder brothers. Lastly, my greatest passion in my life is acting. Ever since I was a sprog, I always stare at the mirror and act like what I have seen in the movies on the television. I do many roles like being the leading actress or the villain one. I can weep easily. I can also laugh that much and all that. My passions are totally common but what makes it unique is how I deliver it inimitably on my own. And oh, I almost forgot, there's this one important passion that I would like to share. My passion to give help to those who are in needs. To share the blessings that I received from God. Because I believe that we should all live equally, fairly and happily. You know, all people should eat at least three times a day. God has given us heart and mind for us to use it on the right and good way. To make this simple, we should all love one another and think not of ourselves but of the others.

CARP- What is it?
Basically, CARP stands for Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program. CARP is the leading government program to distribute lands to the farmers and to uphold social justice. Their aim is to simply acquire and private lands to landless farmers within 20 years, to provide support to beneficiaries, and to give just compensation to affected private lands. This issue affects my life in a way that it catches my feelings and my thoughts. When you watch the documentary movie about CARP, you will definitely feel much forlorn to the farmers and feel much angry to the government. You will see there how the farmers work so hard and how they suffer just to get the land. Speaking of the land, it will involve the crisis on the rice. As part of this country, I also wanted to have and to live in a well-governed country. If this dilemma will be solved, this country might achieve its goal of food self-sufficiency and effectively resolve its rice crisis.
As an ordinary student, I can help in resolving this dilemma in many ways. First, I can write to our congress and urge them to support and pass CARPER through emails, cellphones, or letters. I can also make a blog, and write about CARPER. I can also do lend my talents like sharing photos, videos, or songs about CARPER. There are lots of ways to make my self useful and help. But what I know that will probably work is the most important thing to do always that is to pray for them. I know that that would be the best thing to do, because we all know that no one can do better than God.

Altering digital photographs - art or fraud?
Altering digital photographs for an art or for fraud. For me, altering or changing a digital photograph is not certainly considered a fraud. Altering digital photographs nowadays is just a great way of recycling pictures that didn't turn out well. Some cameras really have an awful capture that is why some photographers make use of editing or what we called altering digital photographs. Not only that. In some cases, when the person or client has a bad look well let us say that he have blemishes or marks on his face or he is not photogenic and he wants to look good on a photo, so he will ask the photographer to edit his photo for a good upshot. That is why altering digital photos should not be considered a fraud because it also has a good purpose for everybody.
Altering digital photos is considered a fraud when it is used for crime such as forgery or as a counterfeit for unjust gain or advantage. Photographic forgery is the creation of photographs that are intended to convey a misleading impression either of their own provenance or of what they depict. Proving that a particular photograph is fraudulent can be difficult and sometimes impossible. But still, in some cases they are also caught too when some experts check the photos if there has been an editing made. And this kind of usage makes the altering or changing of digital photographs a fraud. Again, something is considered bad base on how you do it. So what we should be all aware of is that always analyze situation, think carefully and make the right decision. So that's it. I hope you guys learned something from my blog about altering digital photographs.

Internet & its History
If you are to ask me about the well-known internet nowadays, what I know about it is that it involves communications network. There are lots of brief histories about the internet. From the definition to the usage. The Internet is a global data communications system. It is a hardware and software infrastructure that provides connectivity between computers. The term the Internet, when referring to the Internet has traditionally been treated as a proper noun and written with an initial capital letter. There is a trend to regard it as a generic term or common noun and thus write it as "the internet", without the capital.
Nowadays, internet has many usages. One of which is the use of e-mails. The concept of sending electronic text messages between parties in a way analogous to mailing letters or memos predates the creation of the Internet. Even today it can be important to distinguish between Internet and internal e-mail systems. Internet e-mail may travel and be stored unencrypted on many other networks and machines out of both the sender's and the recipient's control. Today you can send pictures and attach files on e-mail. Most e-mail servers today also feature the ability to send e-mail to multiple e-mail addresses. Another usage is the so-called www or World Wide Web. The World Wide Web is a huge set of interlinked documents, images and other resources, linked by hyperlinks and URLs. These hyperlinks and URLs allow the web servers and other machines that store originals, and cached copies of, these resources to deliver them as required using HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol). HTTP is only one of the communication protocols used on the Internet. Lastly is the remote access. The Internet allows computer users to connect to other computers and information stores easily, wherever they may be across the world. They may do this with or without the use of security, authentication and encryption technologies, depending on the requirements.
As it speeds into the future, there would be a great impact in our society nowadays. I think it would create implications in our society. Internet is part of the technology which has always been the main determinant of economic superiority. Internet had now made it possible to reach into the secrets of technology through a global network. Before, researchers go to the huge libraries with hundreds, or thousands rather of books to research. But now, whole encyclopedias and even the books in the libraries are now available on the Internet. Slowly, all forms of human knowledge will be only a mouse-click away. Any individual, organization or country having the resources can adopt the knowledge for social use. Though it will take quite sometime for all developing nations to reach the technology levels of developed ones, Internet will surely speed up the process of leveling up. Eventually, the whole human race will enjoy the benefits of all technologies available in the world. And it is such an advantage for us these days. But if you would scrutinize it very well, human race, specially the kids, would be more dependent on the internet rather than to use their own knowledge. So people should also be aware of it.
Asking how the Internet works is not the same as asking how the world wide web works. Well, Internet and the World Wide Web are not one and the same, although they are often used as synonyms. While the Internet is an infrastructure providing interconnectivity between network computers, the web is one of the services of the Internet. It is a collection of documents that can be shared across Internet-enabled computers.
