Fake Heroes - All the President’s Men

Published by Jun | Filed under Daily Dose

Just received an email from Sir Ryan Maboloc who is study leave, he is my former teacher and Chairperson of Philosophy Division of Ateneo de Davao University.

Who are the real heroes? Sir Ryan believes that Parents are heroes since they sacrifices alot for their children and Teachers who receive meager salaries are real heroes. On another hand, Councilor Peter T. Laviña delivered a privilege speech at the City Council that OFWs remain as our “heroes”. Sir Peter said in his blog:

I described Joey de Venecia and Jun Lozada as fake heroes and called on the nation to focus on more important issues other than the telenovela that is the NBN-ZTE scandal.

I believe and agree with them, what really sucks is when the media and other people -usually the opposition, labeling the likes of Jun Lozada and Joey de Venecia a “Hero” where before he is part of the ZTE scandal. Maybe he didn’t get enough part of the bribe shares he sings different tunes and turn against to his bosses. I really do appreciate the’re coming out to speak the truth but putting them on the list of “Heroes” of this country is i think not quite prudent. The real heroes are our Teachers who continues to sacrifice to teach despites low salaries and lack of support and needed funding from the Government to improve our Educational System - which is now commercialized. The other real heroes are the OFW’s who keeps sending remittances and balikbayan box back here in the Philippines that keeps our Philippine economy floating. Read the rest of this entry »

The famous “Ken Lee” song performed by Valentina Hasan in Bulgarian Idol (WITH ENGLISH TRANSLATION). It’s really funny and hilarious! Maria Carey song “Can’t Live” was massacred. hehe.

She sings the song again but its now more improved. Her English has definitely improved.

This video saved me from killing myself. A good laugh. hehe. LOL!

Seeking Knowledge

Published by Jun | Filed under Daily Dose

I’ve been a stubborn son ever since and trying hard to be smart. I’ve been naughty and rebellious that puts me to trouble and in the end dragging my parents and love ones to the mess. Thus, every time I’m in serious dilemma i just wish i was never been born in this simple and yet complicated culture and diverse world. Why? I never learn a lesson and two. I’m given advised to do something about it to fix my mess but instead solving it, i make it more worst.

I’m trying to understand this life and my being a human person - to be better. Seeking knowledge was been and will be my passion until i reach my grave. It’s not the traditional seeking for knowledge like getting to school and setting your ass in the chair for hours like dumb in front your teacher. I’m just lazy staring the black/white board, i rather sleep in my chair then walk in the street after the class.

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

“Whoever takes a path seeking therein knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise. And Verily the Angels lower their wings to the student of knowledge due to their being pleased to what they do. Verily everything in the heavens and earth even the fish in the water ask that the scholar be forgiven (for their sins). The superiority of the scholar over the worshiper is like that of the moon over the rest of the stars. Verily the scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets. Surely the Prophets do not leave behind to be inherited dinaar nor dirham (money). Verily they only leave behind knowledge to be inherited, so whoever takes it has taken hold of a great prosperity.” [Abu Dawud and At Tirmidhee.]

Maybe because of my laziness is the reason that makes my journey so hard. Or i’m just making my destiny hard for myself? I’ve been searching for knowledge to answer many questions but yet instead of getting answer i have more questions popping up nor adding more questions to the lists. Scholars or teachers this days have different opinions and facts. Who’s the one telling the truth?

I will be forever a student and wandering at end of my lessons asking - will this lead me to paradise? will this paradise is the true happiness that every man searching for? I’ll be traveling all over the world if given a chance, maybe my answers is on the other side of my world or just in my mind trying to fool myself. I’m crazy.

Qur’an a Fascist Book?

Published by Jun | Filed under Islam

In Netherland Dutch politician Geert Wilders has described the Koran as a “fascist book” and reaffirmed what he calls “the clear superiority of Christian culture over that of Muslims.”

Geert Wilders is a vocal critic of Islam and will release a film in March on the Koran, which is already generating widespread controversy. He stated that: “The book incites hatred and killing and therefore has no place in our legal order. He called that this Koran should be outlawed in the Netherlands, like Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf.

Why play religious bigotry, MILF asks.

“Why do some people feel gratified by taunting the religious beliefs of other peoples?” he asked, adding that Muslims never insulted Jesus Christ in their entire existence.

He said in Islam there is already a formula to prevent conflict out of religious differences when Allah says in the Qur’an: “There is no compulsion in religion. Unto you your religion and unto me my religion.”

Furthermore, heres a video from Youtube where he was interviewed.

I was researching the internet if this Dutch Movie Attacking Qur’an is now available for download, so far it’s not yet released. It is schedule to be released this month of March.

Is really the Qur’an and Islam an Ideology of Fascism as to what claim by Geert Wilders? Who speaks the truth?

I’m not really that well knowledgeable about Islam and this is part of my continuing struggle to understand more the issues facing Islam and me being a human person.

Update:

I just found a teaser of the video. I don’t know if this is the real, there are many videos floating claiming to be Geert Wilders - The Movie.

Coming soon on Youtube “FORBIDDEN” Produced by Geert Wilders with the participation of ‘Heathcliff Publishing”

Overclocking - Wrong CPU Quad Core Multiplier and Clock Speed Report

Published by Jun | Filed under Hardwares

I’ve been tweaking and overclocking my new rig for the past days. From the native 2.4GHz clock i can run it stable to 3.6GHz though need more stress testing if its really stable. The only test i had is leave it overnight running. The highest cpu clock i record is 3.75GHz but its to stressful for the cpu since i increase the cpu voltage around 1.58ish almost 1.6volts and i just use air cooling and not water cooling which is way more expensive to my budget.

If i only have a decent RAM, i believe i can easily benchmark this machine to 4.0GHz. I use 2x 2GB Geil DDR2 Value Series - PC2-6400 DDR2-800 Dual Channel Kit (4GB Total). I hope to upgrade in the near future for a new memory with at least 1066Mhz. This is the bottleneck and hindrances getting high benchmark. Read the rest of this entry »
