Connecting to family, friends and loved ones and the power of the internet

I could still remember a couple of years back when I was still conducting and attending trainings overseas. During that time the Internet was still developing.  Dial-up connections was still the popular.  Though broadband connection was already available, it was still quite expensive and available to mostly corporate clients and a few selected hotels. I could still remember an experience I had connecting to 1 of the prime hotels in Singapore. During that time they were supposed to be one of the few hotels which offer premier Internet connections.  However, you still needed to dial-up to establish a connection.  The problem was, you had to pay for each connected or attempted connection. It was very difficult to establish an Internet connection and I ended up with a SGD 100 bill. So I resorted to use prepaid cards and mobile roaming calls. Overall, I paid a whooping Php 40k for a months usage of mobile roaming calls. As the Internet connection improved, messenger services became very popular and accessible. Yahoo messenger and Skype became very popular during that time as it allowed you to do PC to PC chat. However, I found Chikka messenger very useful as it allowed me to send SMS messages from PC to mobile phone and vice-versa. This used to be a free service, but now for a small fee you can still send messages from your PC to a mobile user. The recipient mobile user just needs to reply to the message sent from the Chikka messenger user. For a time mobile 3G communication became a fad, but eventually died out as cost of the service was quite expensive, both user had to have 3G capable phones and 3G service was network dependent. Eventually, Yahoo and Skype offered audio and and video calls.  This eventually became the standard for what we have today.  The improvement in Internet connection made this technology possible. Internet connection today is measured by speed and bandwidth. Broadband connection is no longer limited to offices and businesses, but is in fact a part of every house hold. Social media sites soon followed, and offered their own brand of communication.  Today mobile web browsing has enabled Internet access outside the confides of traditional PC and notebook user.  Today, using your mobile phone you can connect to other people around the world through mobile web browsing. You can answer e-mails, access messenger services, connect to social media sites or remotely connect to your home or office PC. Indeed technology has gone very far from its humble beginnings. I can wait to see what tomorrows technology has to offer.  We have truly been able to bridge the gap between people in different countries through technology.

Share the Gift of life, become a blood donor

Life is such a precious commodity that we often take for granted.  We never truly appreciate the value of something unless it is truly gone and lost forever.  Advancements in technology, innovations and pressure from society has pushed as to live a careless and free lifestyle.  We indulge in drinking, smoking, eating unhealthy foods and other vices, not knowing we are gradually destroying our bodies.  Our bodies are unique in every aspect. It is difficult to repair, parts are not easy to find, and there is always a 50/50 percent success rate in repair.

Blood is such a rare commodity, though everybody has it, there are different blood types available.  In emergency cases, where a certain amount and type of blood is needed, it is very difficult to find a suitable blood donor.  Though a person may be willing to share their blood with a patient, one must first pass a series of tests and evaluations in order to become a donor.  Doctors are very meticulous and cautious when selecting a blood donor, because using the wrong or contaminated blood could have serious complications to the life of the patient.  Becoming a blood donor is a very good indication of living a healthy lifestyle. The requirements necessary to become blood donor means that you are in a good physical condition and free from all vices and sickness.  

So live a clean and healthy lifestyle. Stay healthy, live a long life and share your blood.  Though your blood will may not entirely cure the patient, it will definitely prolong their life and give them a fighting chance in living a healthy and productive life for the remainder of their natural life.  Become a blood donor, share your blood.  This is the 3rd time I have shared my blood and have not felt any side effects, but have felt as great as I have in the past few years.  I plan to donate my blood at least once a year or as often as I can for as long as I am able.
