Why You Need to Learn Coding?

Let's be honest, computers are everywhere.

• In your office: Where you spend almost all of your working time. 
• In your pockets: Smartphones is a portable computer.
• On your wrists: Watches are now a very small computer.
• In your house: TVs today have an operating system that lets you watch streaming movies.
• In you living room: You now have TV "sticks" that you plug-in to your HDMI TVs to become smart.
• You also have gaming consoles with games and apps that you can buy.
• In your car: Like the Tesla electric cars which has a large dashboard touchscreen, where you can control your car (and a phone app for that matter).

Then there's the Internet of things which is defined in wiki:

"The Internet of Things (IoT, sometimes Internet of Everything) is the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and connectivity to enable objects to exchange data with the manufacturer, operator and/or other connected devices based on the infrastructure of International Telecommunication Union's Global Standards Initiative.[1] The Internet of Things allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure,[2] creating opportunities for more direct integration between the physical world and computer-based systems, and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit.[3][4][5][6][7] Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the existing Internet infrastructure. Experts estimate that the IoT will consist of almost 50 billion objects by 2020."

From stoves, to microwave ovens, to rice cookers, to refrigerators, to washing machine- all of the appliances we have at home will have software for it to run.

In conclusion, we need to learn coding. We need our kids to learn early, so they can be prepared on the onslaught of things which can be programmed to be efficient in the near future.

Nintendo Family Computer

Who doesn't remember the iconic family computer?

When I was a kid, I go to my neighbor just to play famicom all day playing little mac, punching bulls and even quirky opponents, figuring out its fighting patterns and ultimately winning the boxing game.

I hardly win without their help.

Those were the wonder years in my life: fun, free-spirited, stay-up all night playing, playing AND playing games.

Even when I got out from elementary alive, I played street brawling with new friends in hs. We escape from hs fair jumping fences, eluding security guards and went straight to the mall playing like a martial arts fighter who looks like Jacky Chan, or Bruce Lee and a fighter that resembles Vanilla Ice and a monster who is a woman? With a back-drop of supersonic jets, religious temples, cage fighting arenas and even a crowded flea market.

Later on, I can remember playing with relatives a game of tennis that features rock stars like you and me. Then, there's also the bowling game that even my less than ten year old niece, showing me how to do it and beating me every game.

Then later on, I saw my nieces playing Super Mario Bros. on 3DS while wondering why I never played.

Well, that's life.

Touch Me Not?

One word: "Hell!"

As Pao from Reddit resigned because she's just trying to stop hatred, it's like everyone thinks that it is wrong. We've come to the age of idolizing evil, and loves being evil. The younger generations thinks that evil is cool. But, what they don't know that evil will feed hatred, and result to our extinction. The world today is different. It's like heaven is falling from the sky: earthquakes, famine, floods, pestilence and unending wars that plague the news headlines everyday. Is this the new normal? I guess so. We might not like it but God in His goodness will destroy the earth and everything in it, just to save the few, and purge the evil, renew the earth then, life starts anew.

Taylor Swift is Maybe Listening to Bob Dylan Right Now

It's Saturday, you are FREE!

Now's your chance to go to a coffee shop with your sweetheart or your pet dog, and listen to Apple Music.

Bob Dylan!?! Haven't heard of him for quite a long time. I knew him but I don't know him or his music, so who cares? Jacked-in to my iPad with 3-month trial of Apple Music, then KABAM! It's back in time.

Seriously, I'm having a good time listening so much oldies that I haven't been born yet. But, even the greats have to admit, "It's good 'ol music."

Is it my fault? It ain't me, babe. :)

The Bad Guys Always Win?

Today, there is so much evil around us. Evil in school, evil in offices and even in our house; it's like everyone became Darth Vader. So much power, but so much hate. We turned our world into a dark empire that consumes us, and ultimately kills us. No one knows love anymore because it's boring. Being bad is hip or cool, and being good is corny or Spongebob. In reality, we need to be good, or else we pay for every crooked things we have done, and that's not cool. Maybe, it's fine to be evil in video games or movies but being evil in the meat world is something serious because we pay for the consequences of sin, and that is hell. There is hell. I've never seen it (because it is still to come), but we do believe there is evil and punishment; there is good a reward. It's that simple system that works in real world and the next. And by the way, good always prevail.

Word of the Day - We need you!

For the body itself is not made up of only one part, but of many parts. If the foot were to say, "Because I am not a hand, I don't belong to the body," that would not keep it from being part of the body. And if the ear were to say, "Because I am not an eye, I don't belong to the body," that would not keep it from being part of the body. If the whole body were just an eye, how could it hear? And if it were only an ear, how could it smell? As it is, however, God put every different part in the body just as he wanted it to be. There would not be a body if it were all only one part! As it is, there are many parts but one body.

So then, the eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" Nor can the head say to the feet, "Well, I don't need you!" On the contrary, we cannot do without the parts of the body that seem to be weaker, and those parts that we think aren't worth very much are the ones which we treat with great care; while the parts of the body which don't look very nice are treated with special modesty, which the more beautiful parts do not need. God has put the body together in such a way to give greater honor to those parts that need it. And so there is no division in the body, but all its different parts have the same concern for one another. If one part of the body suffers, all the other parts suffer with it; if one part is praised, all the other parts share its happiness.

1 Corinthians 12:14-26

Question: Can you apply this in your office, school, church, community, home with your family, or even in the government, and as a nation?

Word of the Day - Leave all worries to God

My dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful test you are suffering, as though something unusual were happening to you. Rather be glad that you are sharing Christ's sufferings, so that you may be full of joy when his glory is revealed. Happy are you if you are insulted because you are Christ's followers; this means that the glorious Spirit, the Spirit of God, is resting on you. If you suffer, it must not be because you are a murderer or a thief or a criminal or a meddler in other people's affairs. However, if you suffer because you are a Christian, don't be ashamed of it, but thank God you bear Christ's name.

1 Peter 5:12-16

In the same way you younger people must submit yourselves to your elders. And all of you must put on the apron of humility, to serve one another; for the scriptures says, "God resists the proud, but shows favor to the humble. "Humble yourselves, then, under God's mighty hand, so that he will lift you up in his own good time. Leave all your worries with him, because he cares for you.

Be alert, be on watch! Your enemy, the Devil, roams around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Be firm in your faith and resist him, because you know that other believers in all the world are going through the same kind of sufferings. But after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who calls you to share his eternal glory in union with Christ, will himself perfect you and give you firmness, strength, and a sure foundation. To him be the power forever! Amen.

1 Peter 5:5-11

Word of the Day - God First Life

Word of the Day - God is Good News

04-26-2015

Everytime I go downstairs in the morning, I could already hear the radio announcer trash talking somebody in office. News poured in like waves crashing to fragile walls of your chest, pounding so fast it hurts even to your ears. At night, you could watch the TV showing smoke from afar with fires of AK-47s tearing up human shields. I say, "Another bad news!"

Nobody wants to hear bad news, even from your spouse. You could even feel the throbbing veins in your temple and that shiver coming up from your spine. I really hate it! What I want to hear is some good news. I want to hear that the business is going well, or you won some lottery from SMS from someone you don't know, or your spouse suddenly gave you some flowers (which rarely happens), or you received a check worth P45 so you could buy halo-halo.

The bible is "good news" when you are good, and the bible is bad news if you are bad. But, the good news is the bible tells of forgiveness. Where do sinners go? In the church! God's love is shed for our shortcomings because He knows us. For that, we come to know also Him.

Deserving Gift

“You always hear the phrase, money doesn’t buy you happiness. But I always in the back of my mind figured a lot of money will buy you a little bit of happiness. But it’s not really true.”

Does having more money give you more problems?

10 If you love money, you will never be satisfied; if you long to be rich, you will never get all you want. It is useless. 11 The richer you are, the more mouths you have to feed. All you gain is the knowledge that you are rich. 12 Workers may or may not have enough to eat, but at least they can get a good night's sleep. The rich, however, have so much that they stay awake worrying. 13 Here is a terrible thing that I have seen in this world: people save up their money for a time when they may need it, 14 and then lose it all in some bad deal and end up with nothing left to pass on to their children. 15 We leave this world just as we entered it—with nothing. In spite of all our work there is nothing we can take with us. 16 It isn't right! We go just as we came. We labor, trying to catch the wind, and what do we get? 17 We get to live our lives in darkness and grief, worried, angry, and sick. 18 Here is what I have found out: the best thing we can do is eat and drink and enjoy what we have worked for during the short life that God has given us; this is our fate. 19 If God gives us wealth and property and lets us enjoy them, we should be grateful and enjoy what we have worked for. It is a gift from God. 20 Since God has allowed us to be happy, we will not worry too much about how short life is. (‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭5‬:‭10-20‬ GNT)

Having happiness is like chasing the wind. We work hard to get rich and then when we are rich, we still chase that elusive wind called happiness. Everyone thinks that marriage will give them happiness also but it didn't, for it just gave them more grief.

Happiness is a gift. It is special for those who deserve it that only God can give. But, we still have to work hard for God to give us wealth and enjoy them. If you love money, you will never be satisfied; it's like chasing the wind.

So, do you deserve to be happy?

Hope

03-19-2015

Hope

If only we could buy a pack of hope and forget all our problems. Money, food, relationships, and work. And now, we also carry the world in our sedans because of climate change, as if our worries are not enough already. But, the truth is there is hope. God has something good in store for us, no, something more wonderful than this; it's so grand it is a secret. We can't see it yet because God wants to surprise us like our birthday party when we were small, or like that wedding ring on your finger. God is not evil. He won't give His sons and daughters something they wouldn't want because that is what we all want- eternal life.

"Why Would I Never Learn?"

03-12-2015

Learning is part of life; we learn everyday. In school when we were still small until we grow up, we learned things that were needed in order to live and be successful, achieving our goals.

That is why it is important to have good and proper education, for it is education that forms our being. Education is crucial in the life of a person for it teaches us what to do and help avoid mistakes. It is said:

13 Always remember what you have learned. Your education is your life—guard it well. (‭Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬ GNT)

Education is a process of learning and doing. You may not get it right the first time but with iteration, there is refinement until you get it right. "We learn by our own mistakes," as the adage goes, and through practice and hard work, makes it perfect.

The process is simple: Study->Think->Learn->Do then looped to Study again.

First, we learn from teachers, parents, and friends from what they say and by reading books, through the Internet and experiences.

Second, we think then comes understanding.

Third, we learn what we know.

Finally, we do what we have learned. If what we did is wrong, we try to study again and go through the process of learning. Or, if it's correct, we also go back to start and study new things and innovations through the whole process again. This is based from my experience and thinking that might be taken into consideration (Yes, I am still learning).

In school, our teachers talk all day imparting their knowledge to us so we know. They give quizzes, exams to test us if we learned something about learning. And through learning, applying it in our everyday lives. Study, Think, Learn and Do is the process of learning. As we move forward, we must be equipped enough to do our work and jobs, living independently, and even teaching others of what we have learned. In the end, don't be like this:

12 and you will say, “Why would I never learn? Why would I never let anyone correct me? (‭Proverbs‬ ‭5‬:‭12‬ GNT)
