Bad Day

Yeah, so right now I'm feeling so pissed off that I wanna scream and shout at the wall facing me right now. Graduating is no easy thing, especially with stressful situations that you feel like your the only one that gives a damn at what happens! Its infuriating PLUS other people get the credit even though they did less of a work than you did. NOW THAT! is really what pisses me off. Not to mention that other people don't even have the breeding to say thank you for your effort nor a simple gratitude. 


Another thing that pisses me off is giving consideration to other people, while you who have the same situation as the other person is given NONE. UGH, I don't really care any more. I don't need that "award", I don't want to beg. My family is proud of me, that's all that matters.

Predictive Text = Poor Spelling

So I have this crazy notion that Predictive Text on cellphones or gadgets today are detrimental to our mental health, specifically our spelling skills. Not only in technological trinkets but also softwares such as the ever popular Microsoft Word.


I wonder if an individual actually remembers or learns from their mistakes. Its all about speed when texting, speed for typing, speed speed speed. But do you ever stop to learn from your mistakes? I have seen a few people who use predictive text and I just hope that they don't rely too heavily on such technology.


In a way I think all these advancements in the tech industry has also its bad side. Just like how kids these days spend most of their time indoors just for video games which in return leads to obesity. Another example is using the calculator too often that you can't solve simple equations mentally. Sure it makes our lives easier, but doesn't it make you a slacker and your brain all mushed up. I think right now our brain needs this               ---- >


and to do that we need to learn not to depend on technology too much.  I myself still read books and articles, I try to avoid using the synonyms on MSWord just cause I don't want my English vocabulary to decline. I'm not exceptional with this language, but hey! I try to improve it at any way possible. Bad habits are hard to get rid off, I suggest exercising that brain manually not technically. ;)
