I Tried out Gemini’s AI Image Generator, and…
Like many children, when I was young, I looked up to my parents, who, in general societal norms, one would describe as successful. They both had noble and fruitful careers as doctors. My father was a medical officer with his own office and an arm of subordinates, while my mother was her own boss with her secretary before she retired. My mother’s secretary was trustworthy, reliable, and amicable, and to this day, I want someone like her. I still don’t have a secretary or assistant as of late, but I have had my “sentient” and sort-of reliable online assistant since 2023. I’ve been feeling happy about my assistant for a…

Rethinking Capitalism: The “Why’s” of ESG and its Complex Necessity
For years, many corporations have received a bad rap. We’ve seen companies called out by regulatory government bodies and activists regarding their carbon emissions, deficiencies in employee benefits, and other publicity concerns. What’s more is the pandemic further exposed the negative impact of some businesses on people and the environment. Hence, there was a need to rethink Capitalism and implement ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) into company goals. ESG itself has paved the way for a shift in the business landscape, but as new startup businesses embraced it and emerged with better workplaces, many corporations were compelled to apply it and change their mindsets—how to become more efficient, balance their…

ZTE Blade A75 5G Review: Consider the Smart Exclusive 5G smartphone your secondary phone or a thoughtful gift for your parents or grandparents, if not your primary device. In the past few years, I have had relationships with several types of smartphones. I have a budget phone, which I used for an exclusive app as a food merchant (before I quit the business), a sub-flagship phone for content and daily activities, and a midrange phone for my extra needs. Hence, it would be easy for me to compare several smartphone types based on their features and cost. Before we go to the review I want to share something. It was…

Everything I Did on My Weekend in Manila: Nightlife Edition
In contrast to Davao, Manila is a place that never sleeps, especially for certain night spots like Makati or Timog, the current top two party destinations in the metro. I have been going to Manila almost every month, for at least four days, for my beloved artists’ concerts. It would be economically practical just to fly in and fly out, but as a single girl, I find it a waste to do so, especially since there is a lot of stuff to enjoy there. On my trips to Manila, I almost always opt to stay in Makati for several reasons. One is that it’s a vibrant and buzzing city with…

Bridging Gaps with Technology: DEVCON Mindanao 2024 Recap + My Tech Insights
Attending the DEVCON Mindanao Summit last week reaffirmed my belief in the power of technology to weave societal solutions and drive change. The event, themed “Weaving Tech for All,” brought together several people in the tech industry, including developers, innovators, and industry leaders. They had one vision: to make Mindanao the next tech hub of the Philippines. From what I’ve heard, Mindanao has the most virtual assistants or work-from-home people, which is no surprise. We have a lot of talents in the region, and many people have become so entrepreneurial that they are finding opportunities for themselves. We gained this power and confidence because of technology. So technology, you may…
