'Think Differently' My letter to Steve Jobs

First of all, when you say 'Apple', the name Steve Jobs comes in second.

I do not know him in any way, but whenever I see Apple products on the store, I really do think Steve Jobs invented and reinvented these wonderful gadgets. 

Frankly speaking I cannot afford one. Seeing my friends and strangers have one, or any Apple related gadget/device seems like I was left behind in this fast paced world. I know there is something special behind it, aside from being regarded as an 'elite', you are also hip, cool, and more importantly, Apple owners know more about computers than anyone else.

The beautiful operating system has enchanted me a lot. Steve has put his heart in his creations. He thought differently, it shows in the products.

To the bereaved family, my deep condolences. I may not be an Apple fan, but somehow, somewhere, Steve's vision and leadership has inspired me, and countless others. 

Thank you for letting us 'think differently.'

Philippines: 10, 20, 50 years from now

Now ladies and gentlemen. I will tell you my plans for the future of your country.

I don't want to scare you or anything like that, its just, I want to warn all of you.

Be brave. I will bare now the future of the Philippines and its citizens.

10 years later...

It will become worse. Poverty and unemployment will rise for about 20-30%. Major investors are pulling out because of the corruption, high prices of basic utilities/goods, and rampant problems in transportation (air, land, water). Filipinos are trying to migrate or work overseas and keep the country stable financially.

Mindanao will have more conflicts than ever. Skirmishes, killings, hostages, and terrorist activities will further increase. This is because the government and foreign investors are interested on doing business but cannot compete with the advanced guerrilla army / rebels / clans that is 'guarding' Mindanao. Both parties will become desperate and there will be lots of deaths.

The nation will become more polluted because of inadequate garbage disposal and also more deaths are there due to 'trash-slide.' One Filipino will think of a way to solve this and will become rich temporarily. Total garbage will be reduced for about 40%.

P-Noy will continuously struggle up to the end of his term. Promises are not kept and his countrymen will become more upset with him. But he will marry and have a child (a boy) - and was forgiven by the Filipino people. The next president will be a scary one. An ambitious person who will do radical changes to the Philippines.

(to be continued...)
