Technology Today

Today’s technology has provided us with so much expediency that its influences are ecumenical, making it difficult for us to even imagine living a day without it anymore. Technological advancements have, to name just a few, generated more efficient transportation and communication systems, as well as abundant sources of energy for human consumption.

Transportation today has been a lot faster than in bygone days. In a bustling city where time is generally equated to money such as Bangkok, commuters can get to their destinations much faster and safer by the available subway and sky train systems than by using cars or buses in the perpetually congested streets of the city. Getting from one continent to another is no longer a Herculean task. It seems only like a stone’s throw to travel from one end of the earth to the other via several technologically advanced aircrafts, the supersonic ones in particular.

Cross-continent communications technology is no longer a rarity enjoyed by just a few privileged adults. Even six-year old children can learn to click and send their messages to their internet friends everywhere in just a blink of an eye. In olden days when people did not have and probably could not afford the conveniences of such technological advancements, it would take weeks, if not months or years, for an epistle to be delivered to their loved ones.

Nowadays, we can get our energy from many different sources provided to us through new technology. Solar power plants, hydro electrical generators, and nuclear power plants are just a few living proofs of the energy sources aided by modern technology. Not only are they renewable and less labor-intensive to produce, but they are also more efficient and nature-friendly in comparison with those from antiquated sources of energy, such as fossil fuel and coal.

This is all about technology that influences ourlives in the positive way.

The Greatest love

* The Greatest Love

The month of February is said to be the month of love. This is because there is a special day included in this month. That day, as you know, is the Valentine’s Day! I don’t fully remember the background of the Valentine’s Day, but according to what I remember is that it acts like a commemoration of St. Valentine’s love and faith to his girlfriend and his God. However, no matter how great the love of St. Valentine is, there is one person’s love that is the greatest. That person is Jesus Christ.

The love of God the earth and its people was so much that he sent his only son, Jesus Christ, to be crucified on the cross to pay the debts of our sins. Jesus Christ left heaven and his throne behind and came to the earth. Jesus Christ was God and man at the same time, while he was in the earth. He loved us so much that he left the heaven and the throne behind and came to die on the cross for us.

It might be easy for someone to love a good person, but it is hard for someone to love a bad person. Jesus loved us while we all are still a sinner, a bad person. He died for us who still are not nice. He died for us to pay the debts of our sins so that we don’t have to pay them by ourselves. Who so ever trust in him shall not perish, but have an everlasting life.

Experience Hong Kong! [2]

Greeting once again! Last week's post is about my experience in Hong Kong on the first day. On this post, I am going to talk about the two days that I spent in Hong Kong. Are you ready? Let's get going then!

It was Wednesday morning. It was the perfect time to start working. My dad and I must wake up early, because we don't know the exact place that we have to go work. My dad was hired by a lady to claim the heritage of the lady's husband, who past away last year. We ate chinese noodle for breakfast and took the train to the 'Central' station, which is five stations away form my hotel. We went there and walk for about a half-kilometers to the 'revenue tower'. This is the first place to start claiming the heritage of the dead. There, they asked for the evidence to prove that my dad is the executor of the estate and was hired by the dead person's wife to do this job. There was no problem at all. Everything worked out very well. They said that we must come back to Hong Kong again in one and a half month time to get the documents and use the documents to proceed to the court of Hong Kong.

After getting the work done, my dad and I felt a lot more comfortable. We spent the rest of the day shopping and find something nice to eat. The things there were quite cheap, comparing to Thailand, but the food were way more expensive. But I think that the food worth its price. The food were very nice and my dad and I enjoyed it a lot.

The next day, we woke up late. After find somthing to eat for breakfast, we packed our bags and our belongings and were ready to leave. We checked out from the hotel at midday and took the bus to the airport. We shopped a little bit more at the airport, and were ready to come home.

At five o'clock in the evening, my dad and I were back in Bangkok. Even thought it was just a short period of time, we enjoyed Hong Kong a lot! This is all about my experience in Hong Kong! Thank you for your attention.

Experience Hong Kong! [1]

Some of you might wonder that why I was absent on the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of last week. The reason that I was absent is that I was in Hong Kong during those days. There is a client from Hong Kong that hired my dad to do a particular job. My dad is not very good in communicating in English, so he took me with him to translate and communicate for him.

On Tuesday, my dad and I woke up at six in the morning, because we need to go to the airport and prepare for our flight. We caught a taxi to Suvarnabumi Airport. We arrived at the airport at eight o'clock. We finished checking in at eight-thirty. Our flight was ten o'clock, so we have around an hour to wander around Suvarnabumi.

On the plane, we ate omelet for breakfast. We arrived at Hong Kong around midday. The first thing we did after we got off the plane was finding a place to have lunch. We were very hungry, because the breakfast that the flight provide were not enough for both of us. We ate lunch at the airport, in a chinese restuarant. The meal was fantastic! Then we caught a bus into the town, to the hotel. The hotel that we stayed in was Shamrock Hotel. After checking in, we were hungry again. We ate chinese noodle at the restuarant near the hotel. We spend the rest of the evening wandering around the town. Then we came back to the Hotel to rest and get ready for the work that is needed to be done on the Wednesday.

This is all about my first day in Hong Kong! I will tell you about the rest of my experience on the next blog. Good bye for now.
