Just a Dream by Faidha Macalabo #4

Nelly is indeed a good R&B( music genre reffered to as Rhythm and Blues) artist, and I agree with Faidha that his song entitled just a dream sounds weird, but yet has its significance on the content of the song. As R&B music is a unique kind of music, R&B songs would appear weird for it is a unique genre. However, most of the R&B songs have great messages but these are less observed because of it's unique melody.


The interpretations of Faidha on the messages of the song was quite amazing, I was really amazed because even if R&b music is sometimes taken for granted by some people, there are still people who tries to understand the these unique music genre.


The song indeed is not that hard to interprete, every time I listen to it, I have somehow, the same experience as Faidha, I always conceptualize the lyrics and I always relate it to my self. The experience in simply listening to the music takes me to a lot of thoughts to ponder.

The Risks of Electronic Elections #5

Electronic elections were nowadays seen as a great contribution of technology to the society. Various countries all over the world were adopting to such systems in a vision of a more efficient and a more convenient elections. However, among all the advantages that these systems could offer, it is important to take consideration on the possible flaws and problems on these systems.

In my paper, different approaches on the resolutions of such problems were considered from different point of views. These point of views comprises, the government, the expert, and the public’s point of view. Each point of view suggests different resolutions on the technical aspect, the legal aspect, and the procedural aspect of the electronic elections, but all the resolutions suggested sums up into two key factors which is the development of electronic election standards, and the laws that will strengthen the implementation of these standards. 

Moreover, the key factors in the development of electronic elections pointed out to be greatly influenced by the role played by the government and the voting machine manufacturers. Thus, the resolutions to the risks and problems on electronic elections, and the attainment of full efficiency of the electronic election systems lie on the collaboration that has to be built between the government and the voting machine manufacturers.    

100 years-Five for fighting #3

The band Five for Fighting is one of my favorite alternative rock bands, although I love RNB music more than alternative rock music, the song 100 years by five for fighting is the only song that caused a great impact on me and even inspired me much.

The song portrays a great message in life, which I truly idolize. The lyrics depict the different stages of a person’s life and the different experiences that a person encounters in each stage. It is very amazing how the band came up with a good combination of smooth melodies and inspiring lyrics that makes a good aura when listening.

This song always causes me a relief every time I listen to it for it always reminds me of the importance of living every moment in life. For me, this is the thing that makes this song very great.

I am truly convinced of what the lyrics says, ”There’s never a wish better than this..When you only got a hundred years to live”. Thus we must live our life to the fullest and treasure every moment that we have.
