I.T. of Life

by: Allan Cartagenas


Life is like a software
And your physical body is the hardware
Sometimes you're a freeware
And sometimes a shareware

We may tend to be an open source
In which we share the resource
Sometimes we tend to be proprietary
Thus protecting ourselves from piracy


Our lives undergo programming
Along the way we do debugging
With error detection & correction
To avoid run-time corruption

Sometimes we are not feeling well
Due to some viruses that dwell
Sometimes we experience general protection fault
And we tend to stop and HALT

Our relationship to others is like networking
Families, relatives, friends & colleagues interconnecting
Pictures, letters & cards we are sharing
But most of the times, communicating

Lifes' cherished moments must be captured
Lifes' frustrations, success & accomplishments should be recorded
Unlike a computer that can be rebooted,
Life can neither be rebooted nor restarted.

The populace of running has tremendously increased and still continues to do so up to this time. Running has become a fitness trend as well as a way of life, if not for all, but for many people. People of all walks, age, affiliation and status have been hooked in this new kind of “golf”. These made event organizers, companies, foundations, non-profit and non-government organizations attracts the heart of runners to support a lot of purpose – from a fund-raising event, product launching, marketing and advertisement, and for the cause of their beneficiaries if any. When I regained my interest in running way back in 2008, I and my colleagues participated on an event that has benefited a TV network’s foundation which has also been helping a lot of people. Just after a few months, we are again on the same kind of event, which was to benefit the “Tahanang Walang Hagdanan”. Then we joined next some promotional campaigns such as the “run don’t ride” campaign of the Land Transportation Off

Will You Run For a Free Education?

Before the upcoming 2010 Philippines national election, let us all first run for a free Education, just for one day! I have always wondered where will I be at every moment of my post-school life if I have not been privileged for a scholarship granted education. With my Mom occupying two kinds of responsibility to us - her 3 kids - both as a Father and a Mother, we have no special means of coping up with all the budget constraints. In my high school years, I've learned and enjoyed special activities that makes me earn from as small as Php 0.25 to as high as Php 3.00 just to save up for my College years. I've enjoyed selling plastic bags in the busy market, Newspapers in jeepney terminals and in the streets of our village, washing dishes for a summer job in one of the famous hotels, and sell sweepstakes tickets together with the blind people in Baguio City parks. While my sister, who is now in Australia, as early in her 1st grade in elementary, learned to barter fresh fr
