Have a Break, Have a Christmas! :))

It's always been cold since the start of the -Ber months. This time, you can say that Christmas is fast approaching. As early as this, you can hear Christmas carols playing, Christmas lights began to dazzle and sparkle in some places and other decorations are also being displayed. One great example is the Christmas decorations of the University of the Philippines-Los Baños.

Even before I entered the university, I was already really excited about the Christmas decorations that will be displayed this season. My older siblings have been telling me stories about this when they were still studying here. They say that there are really great decorations and many people are truly enjoying it.

This year's Christmas decorations include a Santa and his reindeers on the side of the DevCom Bldg., a giant Christmas Tree near the Administration Office and a giant Belen (with a loft) as its centerpiece.

Let me ask, Have you been to UPLB? Maybe some of you already did. Well, I'm proud to say that this is where I am studying now. The first time I saw its decors, all I can say was, WOW, ang ganda! That is why, one fine Sunday afternoon, I invited my sisters to pay a visit here and to see what this year's decorations are.

We first went to the left side where the Christmas tree stands. The giant Christmas tree is made out of twigs painted in white, carefully put together to form a nice looking and towering one. It was decorated with Christmas balls of different colors and some Christmas lights. There are wrapped gifts underneath the giant Christmas tree.

Then we went to the other side to take a look at Santa in his sleigh together with this reindeers, led by rudolf, the red-nosed reindeer. It was, I think an additional decoration since it was the last to be built among the three. It was so great that it really looks like it's flying.

The last spot we went was the Belen (now improved with a loft). The most important, I think, decoration since it symbolizes or represents the night Jesus was born. It was made out of life-sized sculptures of Mama Mary, Joseph, the Three Kings, and of course, Baby Jesus.

Even though there are really wonderful and stunning Christmas decors, we should not forget the true meaning of Christmas which is giving love and sharing what we have. :)

Until now, even if it is already the third day of January, it is still available for viewing and for photo-op. So, what are you waiting for? Check it out now and experience it with your families and loved-ones.

Windows or Linux? You decide!

People have been using Windows as their operating systems for a long time already. But now there's a new one battling for its place-- Linux.

There are many differences between these two operating systems. Let me give you a few:

> Aside from being cheaper than Windows, Linux can also be availed for free. Imagine their difference, Windows could sometimes be as expensive as $50.00 - $150.00 US dollars.

> However, Windows is more user-friendly than Linux. Windows made more advancements and alterations that make it more suitable than Linux.

> When it comes to the rate of their reliability, Linux could be have higher rate than Windows. Although Windows have already made advancements, it still cannot match the reliability of Linux.

> Linux also has more softwares available, but windows have greater number of softwares you can choose from.

> In addition, the software programs, utilities, and games in Linux are very available at low cost or even for free. As compared to Windows, which could sometimes cost $20.00 - $200.00+ US dollars per copy.

> Undeniably, Windows still has a much larger support for hardware devices and a good majority of hardware manufacturers support their products in Microsoft Windows. On the other hand, Even though Linux companies and hardware manufacturers have made great advancements in hardware support for it, many companies still do not offer drivers or support for their hardware in Linux.

> Security is very much important to all the users, that is why Linux secured everyone that it is and will always bee a very secure operating system. Despite all the efforts being exerted by Windows, still they are very much vulnerable to virus and other attacks as compared to Linux.

> Unlike Windows, Linux is open source, meaning anyone who use it have the ability to change, customize or modify the code however they wish to.

Linux could be very young in the business, but there will come a time that many people could also appreciate it, and would realize that it could really be better than Windows.

Now, it's up to you to choose. Windows or Linux? You decide.

My Top Ten List of the Best Koreanovelas

I love watching the television, especially the Koreanovelas. So, I decided to make my top ten list of it. Enjoy! I hope you can relate. :))

10. METEOR GARDEN

Oh, who would have forget the F4? I think this was the first ever Asianovela aired in the Philippine television. I was young by the time many  people became very much addicted to it, that is why I think it only landed as my least favorite (well atleast it's still int he Top10).  

9. SHINING INHERITANCE

I don't know the reason, I just love watching it. It's like a story of a modern cinderella.

8. COFFEE PRINCE

I think it's the main character which attracts me to watch that show. It was Princess Janelle of Princess Hours who played the role of Andie, a coffee shop crew, pretending to be a boy. Eventually, she and her manager Arthur fell in love. 

 7. FULL HOUSE

" May tatlong bear sa loob ng isang bahay. Si Mama Bear, si Papa Bear, si Baby Bear. Si Papa Bear ay malakas, si Mama Bear ay maganda, si Baby Bear ay napakaliksi. Tingnan n'yo, tingnan n'yo ang saya nila." Isn't it cute?!

6. HANA KIMI

Ella Chen+ Wu Chun= Perfect Match (sounds like another koreanovela). Haha.

5. LOVERS IN PARIS

The beauty of Paris, France added the romance in this show. Very heart-warming.

4. ONLY YOU

Hmmm. I really don't know! I just loved that show because it's the most delectable. J

3. MY GIRL

Jasmine, a poor yet courageous, brave and industrious girl is the lead female character in this show. Since she travels to different places with her father, Jasmine is street smart, charming and witty. She is also a fighter and uses her favorite line "Tira-tira!." Because of a unique situation, she met Julian and in an unexpected event, Jasmine and Julian were forced to live in a web of lies and deceit. 

2. BOYS OVER FLOWERS

A modern version of the Meteor Garden. This is a popular story of an extraordinary girl and four gorgeous and influential guys of F4. 

1. PRINCESS HOURS

The best among the rest! Instead of sleeping early in preparation for our final examinations, I still chose to stay awake late at night to watch my most favorite show. Princess Janelle and Prince Gian's story is the best!
