Taking Care of IT Waste

We just had to upgrade our computers 6 months ago and it was really easy to do that in our office. The whole unit did cost a lot and we had some files on the old ones. Making sure everything on back up and working was a necessity since we are not planning to hamper our operations. Most corporations do that and to me this is mighty clear that we need to also get our old machines thrown out. We obviously do not have computer disposal systems in our part of the world so in short... we've got all our CPU stacked up right beside us. It's troublesome and takes a lot of space plus it is not going to look good as part of the interior design.



If there were some institutions like ROUND2 to do this for us we would be able to make this world a better place. Recycling is one of the ways to environmentally safe to do this. I can even think of some other things like giving these old units to far flung schools in the province that never had the luxury of having computers. It would surely help them a lot in education and make better next generation engineers or programmers. Information Technology has gone a long way and the proper disposal of its waste materials should be a priority. I'll ask people from another department to do these things and more. Maybe in the near future we wouldn't have to worry about it.

Have you thrown out old computers? Do you still have it somewhere and never knew when and how you are going to get rid of it? I have a good idea where to get it taken cared of now. You should too!

Angelo Reyes March 17, 1945 – February 8, 2011

I was shocked to say the least. Former Energy Secretary General Angelo Reyes committed suicide in the front of his mother's grave (via gunning himself down from a .45 caliber pistol). There must be a lot of things surrounding this event but if you think about it the pressure of being in the midst of controversy is the main cause of this. Honor has never been existent in this country of corrupt officials but look at what he did after getting his name marred in the AFP brouhaha. Rabusa the former AFP budget officer was also saddened about this even after exposing this system of money laundering in the defense department. It's so sad but after all these things there will still be a Senate and Congressional probe about the send off money they received to the amount of 50 million pesos. They apparently will still never forget about Reyes' wife too that had 41 trips outside of the country paid for by the peoples money.

I am sad because I knew him as my Dad's batchmate. He always attended their great activities. He was a decorated man and a civic leader. He chose to keep silent after all that because his reputation is being damaged, but Trillanes said otherwise and mentioned he had no reputation to damage anymore. He ain't sorry too for saying that. For what its worth I am still sorry for Angelo Reyes. May he rest in peace!

Getting Loud!

My fascination with scents go a long way and the only thing I'd ever want to receive from any of my relatives from out of the country is this. My preference is on the musky, sweet but woodsy side and in the past ** years of my existence I was lucky enough to get some hits and misses.

Today I still use them but personality wise these perfumes never really get me. I am LOUD for for all the right reasons and I think this maybe the right thing for me.

What's better is that even the "FOR HER" scent is equally LOUD. I'd really love to have one soon. I'll test it out and see if the scent is going to be LOUD as I thought it'll be!

Disturbing: 85y/o Woman Beaten by Own Daugther and Son in Law, Caged Too

I want an alibi or a hell of a good excuse why these people would hurt their Mom. It was a good thing some of their neighbors noticed and took videos of her being beaten up. I pity the 85year old woman who went through this ordeal. What thing would actually push her own daughter and son in law to hit her with broom sticks and everything else they can grab? It's just not right. Mothers should never go through this... why would they put her on a cage and let her sleep outside their house and treat her like an animal? The old woman even still defended them after all that. That's a mother anyone would like to have yet they treat her so bad. I almost cried just looking at it this evening. If only I could do the same to this deranged daughter and son in law that would certainly be a better punishment.

In this country where the poor and oppressed vouch around 50 percent of the population justice is somewhat of the same predicament. No one gets jailed, no one gets to pay for things that they have done because they are rich. I hope these people get to spend time in jail and stay there. If there was one thing I want for that old lady it would be the hope that she ends up getting the best care for the years that she still has. She's 85 years old and deserve to be treated better. I thought these things only happen in movies, apparently I was wrong. What if this happened to you when you get old? Don't you just hate them?!

I wouldn't do this to my Mom... that's for sure! It's just not right!
