INFOSEC - Learning Log #4



Last week (July 25, 2017 - July 28, 2017), Asia Pacific College celebrated SoCIT Techfest. Usually, SoCIT students are excused from class in order to participate in activities or seminars planned by various organizations. INFOSEC was no exception.

Sadly, it was raining hard and the wind was very strong last Thursday morning. I was already in corporate attire by 8am so that I could attend my 9:30 INFOSEC class. However, I couldn't leave the house because it was raining hard. I tried to go out and got soaked by the rain. Thus I had to wait an hour before the rain relented and had a hard time commuting because some areas were starting to flood. I got to school at 10:15. I headed straight for the auditorium because we were asked to participate in the VR (Virtual Reality) Seminar. There we learned the difference between virtual reality and augmented reality (AR). We also learned how VR and AR can be applied in different industries. Ex: Medical students use VR to learn about human anatomy and different medical conditions, google maps also uses AR, the designer brand Gucci uses VR to conceptualize designs, etc.

Afterwards, it was time for our SYSADD class, for SYSADD we were asked to participate in the eminar conducted by Sir Justin - our INFOSEC professor. He talked about Security App Development. It was really useful because we could apply it in our SLDC -software life development cycle -  for our PBL projects/systems.

12. - Why the Lord Made Cockroaches

Image
During my senior year in high school, I had the opportunity to be taught by an amazing Filipino teacher. He was funny and unconventional. He was Sir Ricky Villanueva. He managed to make reading Dr. Jose Rizal's El Filibusterismo fun for us students, but enough about El Fili. I remember one day in class, he asked us why the Lord made cockroaches.  They were tiny pests that bothered people. Surely there was no reason why the Lord made cockroaches. Minutes ticked by and we had not answered his question. He then gave us a mischievous smile and said that a cockroach has two reasons for its existence. One was that it was an indicator. You would know if a place was dirty when these creatures start showing up. Second, it is an inspiration. Do you notice how much of a fighter cockroaches are? No matter how hard you step on them, they seem to be immortal. Once you think it is dead, it slowly starts crawling away to safety. You have to admire its will to live. I

11. - "A Book Is More Than That"

Image
An American philosopher named Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.". It is a common belief that reading books is a way to expand one's knowledge. I am not saying that this is untrue. I am saying that a book is more than that. A book is more than a tool to absorb information because it is a work of art, it offers an escape from reality and it is a very good tool to motivate. Just like every masterpiece, creating a book takes time. It takes months, maybe even years, to publish a book. A book is a work of art. It contains intricate stanzas and paragraphs. It is appealing. It is beautifully crafted. Have you ever experienced a bad day and just sat down to read a book? It's as if reading a book somehow makes you forget your problems. Reading a book helps you detach yourself from ordinary business and stressful thoughts. It even saves you from boredom. It takes you on an adventure that is
