-love-

Love, a simple word, yet powerful.

Some may say it’s crazy, and some do not.

Some may defined it for lovers only,

But for many, love is for everyone. It’s for everybody.

Love is not about the K-I-S-S-I-N-G

Nor about W-E-D-D-I-N-G.

It’s about how you value something as it should be valued.

Loving the way it should be loved, whoever and whatever it may be.

It is not just for those fortunate people,

but also for the less fortunate ones.

Moreover, its not only for guys and girls,

But also for gays and lesbians- that is, love conquers all.

It can be our sacrifice for our loved ones,

And our loved ones’ sacrifice for us.

Yes, Love’s a sacrifice.

Priceless, yet invaluable.

But loving is not just sarificing..

It can be a prayer, silent but sincere and true.

A song which must be sung, a game we must play,

And a gift that should be treasured…:)

Information and Communication Technology

Information technology is defined as use of hardware, software, services, and supporting infrastructure to manage and deliver information using voice, data, and video. Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is an increasingly powerful tool for participating in global remarks:

•  promoting political accountability
• improving the delivery of basic services
• enchanting local development opportunities.

But without modern ICT rules, many people in developing countries- especially the poor- will be left behind. UNDP help countries draw on capability and best practices from around the world to develop tactic that expand access to ICT and bind it for development.

On the other hand, Information Technology (IT), as defined by the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) is ” the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information system, particularly software applications and computer hardware. “ IT deals with the use of electroni computers and compter software to convert, store, safeguard, process, transmit, and securely recover information. Benedict Boulay and his companions divide Information Technology into two types. 

 

1.  ” Tools “, IT to support doctors and dentists in the everyday conduct of their jobs. For example an Mr. scanner, a patient record system, or a decision support system. 
2. ” Training System“, IT designed explicitly for training. For example, a CD-ROM containing dermatology images and related text or computer-based teaching system for a surgical technique

Why sorry is a hard word for others

    Can you still recall the instance when you were small and you stained the living room carpet, broke your Mom’s favorite flowerpot or lost your Dad’s reading eyeglasses? All you have to do is say sorry and all is forgiven.

There’s both good news and bad news. The good news is saying sorry still works. The bad news is as you get older, making apologies seem to get harder and harder. By the time you’re a hundred, saying sorry will be like pulling teeth which probably won’t have by then.  This derive from the fact as you go older, arguments become complicated, the one who’s at fault is hard to determine. In cases like these, making apologies mean admitting that you are wrong. And everyone knows that words can’t find its way out of your mouth when something is lodged in your throat; namely, the pride you’re trying to swallow. In addition to that, it was easier when you were little because you were cuter then and easier to forgive. So what will a person who’s no longer cute and small suppose to do? The important thing to remember is to be truly sincere when you say you’re sorry. If you find it still hard to do, shame on you! My hint: if you can’t say it, write it! Not only this will lessen the awkwardness between you both, but this will also make your apology more sincere and it’s very effective especially if you put it in action. Or you can make it as personal as you want. Use as many healing words as you need and be sure to be able to say it without being interrupted!

So, what are you waiting for, say sorry now! Before it’ll be late.

-What makes woman Happy?Sex Tops List-^_^

Dec. 9, 2004 — Women enjoy sex most and commuting least, according to a study using a new tool that attempts to measure what really makes people happy on a daily basis.

Surprisingly, researchers said they found that activities, such as sex, socializing, eating, exercising, and watching TV have a much bigger impact on women’s happiness on a daily basis than general circumstances, such as income, religion, or marital status.

The study also showed that time pressures at work, lack of sleep, and temperament (including depression) have a major impact on personal happiness.

Researchers say new tools like this one are needed to measure and quantify people’s quality of life and well-being. Current tools rely on broader measures, such as income or educational status that may not accurately reflect personal happiness.

A New Way to Measure Personal Happiness

In the study, which appears in the Dec. 3 issue of Science, researchers tested a new tool, called the Day Reconstruction Method, which is designed to assess how people spend their time and how they felt about those activities on a given day.

More than 900 women answered general demographic questions and then were asked to create a short diary of the previous day by thinking of the day as a film containing a series of scenes and episodes.

After the women constructed their diary, they answered a series of questions about each episode, including what they were doing, with whom, and how they felt.

The average number of daily activities was 14 and each lasted about an hour.

The most enjoyable activities included: sex or intimate relations, socializing, relaxing, praying or meditating, eating, exercising, and watching TV. The least enjoyable activity was commuting, followed by working and doing housework.

Interactions with friends were rated as most enjoyable, notably more enjoyable than interactions with relatives, spouses, or children.

Although children are frequently cited as the greatest source of joy in people’s lives, researchers say taking care of children isn’t always enjoyable.

“When people are asked how much they enjoy spending time with their kids they think of all the nice things — reading them a story, going to the zoo,” says researcher Norbert Schwarz of the University of Michigan, in a news release. “But they don’t take the other times into account, the times when they are trying to do something else and find the kids distracting.”

“When we sample all the times that parents spend with their children, the picture is less positive than parents expect,” says Schwarz. “On the other hand, we also find that people enjoy spending time with their relatives much more than they usually assume.”

Researchers also found that the quality of women’s sleep had a major impact on their enjoyment of life. Women who slept poorly, on average, enjoyed their day as little as the average person enjoys commuting. But those who slept well enjoyed their day as much as most people enjoy watching TV.

When it comes to personal happiness, researchers say the results show that general life circumstances, such as job security and marital status, had a much smaller impact on feelings than the types of activities that people were engaged in.

“It’s not that life circumstances are irrelevant to well-being,” says Schwarz, “on the contrary, we found that people experience large variations in feelings during the course of a normal day. This variation highlights the importance of optimizing the allocation of time across situations and activities. If you want to improve your well-being, make sure that you allocate your time wisely.”
