Memories, I remember them... Forever Cherished

It has been one year and two days that a very unforgettable moments suddenly was put into my diary of experience. A traumatic feeling was felt during that time. I remembered that it was a special evening. We were having fun with my new friends or barkadas that night. When suddenly, I received a letter from someone. That letter was a menace. I knew it was something bad, something that I could be never forgetten in the future. I knew that it would have a deep impact in my life and make me stumble down every stairs in my life. I knew what was in the letter before I opened it. That letter, those simple words changed the course of my life. I knew, that It would be the end of me and the girl I thought for my life. I knew this girl were having second thoughts, because of a new good looking guy in town started courting her. I can't imagine that a girl like her would sacrifice our 3 years of happy and glorious relationship with a 1 month guy courting her. I thought it was that guy.

Three weeks later, the girl answered the guy. It just proves that what she said in the letter that time was all useless. Just a waste of perfectly writing and a good ink. It was obviously their fault. About six months later they broke up.

In the past, It thought that the girl which was so special to me will be the most perfect gift in my life. I always thought... it was better because I didn't believe. Well, I thank God for losing her. Because if i didn't I would have not gone this far.. this blogsite. I was blinded when I was with her. Now, what I see in my life is vivid. I loved that girl! but sometimes... maybe they just have to go. In my case, I didn't let go. I just made time solve it all. I knew, that girl was never meant to me....

Things that I hate about the Computer Laboratories

As a Computer Science student, I am usually fun of going to the Computer Laboratories. But there are things that students hate about their School. Well, I don't hate the computers. I only hate the employees and the policy that the computer laboratory has. I understand that they are only doing their job, but what I don't understand is that what they are usually doing is not part of their jobs.

These are the reasons why I hate them.

1) It is understood that the students of the Ateneo de Zamboanga UNIVERSITY has been paying computer fees in their tuition. Why should we be logged in the system and having our accounts diminished when the teacher said we will be having a class in the computer laboratories. It is unfair because we must be logged in the system whenever we are going to the laboratories during our freetime.

2) Forgotten Passwords
- I understand that you have to pay P30 if you forgot you passwords. But if you forgot your password again, what should you do? should you still pay P30. I think one reason that students usually forgets their passwords because of the grace logins. They must give the choice to students whenever they want to change their passwords not forcing them to change their passwords. Remember that students doesn't only memorize passwords. Heller! they are students! thay have classes! they are studying! be sensitive

3) The employees are not employees.
- They are there to guide students who are experiencing problems in the computers. But whenever you approach the employees inside the cubicle, they usually bark at you like a mad dog. Are these people sensitive? They don't know that there are still people in this world that doesn't know how to use their computers. And instead of doing their job, they usually surf the net and do their own PERSONAL STUFF. Is that part of their job? For me, it is definitely NOT! It is Corruption! that is why our country is full of Corrupt people because of them! Is Chikka texting part of their job? Also, there are some rules and regulations which states that: "No Chatting" . Do you call Chikka not chatting? You also see them downloading stuff from the net. And for your information, what they are downloading are movies and mp3. which are totally against the law which falls to piracy. Is this what the School is trying to teach us? They boast their power to the student. But if you compare this people to the students, students knows more about life than just surfing and chatting the web.

These are my personal grievances against the Computer Laboratories. To those people who are struck by what i said, to argue! it is true!
