IPAD: A LUXURY OR NECESSITY?
Technology obviously has been gearing up. Man continues to explore, innovate and develop more to satisfy and meet the demands of the public. The advent of computer technology paves the way to global competitiveness in terms of production of handy gadgets that goes with the pace of this busy world.
Ipad is one of the solutions to keep them abreast of the times and keep them aware of the earth shaking phenomena above all. It will also serve as their warning shot that they have to “stop look, and listen” to the pulse of this chaotic and busy world. Since it is handy, information is accessible even if they are trapped in a busy street waiting for the traffic jams to end or at a rest corner in a noisy mall taking a deep breath after long hours of heavy work or in a park while talking a rest or trying to breathe some fresh air or in a sea wall with their loved ones all along the way.
Yes Ipad may be useful at times and a necessity to cope with such above mentioned scenario but it is a luxury on the other hand for those who belong to the poverty line. For the elite or a few from the middle men who could afford to have such gadget, it is not a burden for their pockets but a basic need. Well, inasmuch as this product is presently in vogue and is like a proverbial hotcake among the upper class, it maybe coined as a status symbol, But time changes swiftly and this gadget will depreciate and soon become affordable and a need for the lower class. It is only a matter of come and go theory. This ipad will soon be a faded glory and will be replaced with a more advanced tool. Like for instance, before only the rich could afford to buy TV but time came that it has become easy to get for the poor.
The issue that Ipad is a necessity or luxury dies naturally as the influx of more advanced technological breakthroughs is uncontrollable. A want now may become a need as time goes by. The answer to the issue depends upon a consumer’s point of view. It is a luxury if his purpose is just to keep up with the Joneses even if it is already beyond his budget and income. It is a need if it is light to his pocket and is also fit for the nature of his work and his status in the society.

I love the rain. Do you?

It’s rainy season again and typhoons are starting to build-up there in Luzon. One thing I miss about Landing is we don’t experience typhoons there. Though it always rain down there, but we rarely get winds and rains as strong as those in Luzon and Visayas. And most often, it rains at night. You’d be surprised to see the outside of your house wet the moment you wake up the next day.
Anyway, since it is raining these past few days and tonight here in GenSan, I’m wondering if you love the rain. I know several people who don’t. How about you, do you love the rain?
I used to love the rain when I was a kid. When it rains, my childhood friends and I used to sit near the window and watch the the outside of our house get wet. I also developed the liking for the scent of the earth when it gets wet. When nobody’s watching us, we usually go out and play in the rain. Also, my Lola used to cook lugaw (champorado diay, para mas sushal hehe) for us.
We also played with tadpoles. After a few days of continuous raining, the frogs usually spawn their tadpoles in the small pools of mud in our backyard.
