A better alternative to Microsoft Office

by Leave a Comment

Perhaps the reason why a lot of people hate Microsoft or Bill Gates so much is that they tend to dominate every business that they engage in. If they do not dominate a market, they try to manipulate the market in order to dominate it. One market that they have dominated so much is the Office suite market. That’s why I cannot blame some people if they keep on referring to Microsoft as the “Evil empire” According to Wikipedia, an office suite (sometimes called an office application suite or productivity suite) is “a software suite intended to be used by typical clerical worker and knowledge workers. The components are generally distributed together, have a consistent user interface and usually can interact with each other, sometimes in ways that the operating system would not normally allow.” Common applications in office suites include a word processor, a spread sheet, presentation program, a database program and a graphics program.

Metro Manila Escapade

by Leave a Comment

I was in Metro Manila last Thursday and Friday (December 6 and 7) together with my good friend Atty. Alrey Ouano. We were there mainly for two reasons. First we had a meeting with Jurists administration to talk about the possibility of bringing Jurists to Cebu. Secondly, we got some Lex Pareto Notes books (Volume 2, 3 and 4) at our publisher, Cunanan in Recto since several bar reviewees in Cebu has ordered them. Our Cebu Pacific flight left at around 4:45 a.m. I always love to take the morning flights since they are so much cheaper than the day flights. Had we booked weeks before that we could have saved more. Unfortunately we booked 3 days before since we have to finalize the meeting schedule. We arrive in Manila at around 6 a.m. From the airport we just walked for more than a 100 meters to catch a jeepney to Kabayan Hotel at Pasay Rotonda. I have the courage to ride around Metro Manila in a public transport since I had stayed there for 2 years during my college days at the … [Read more...]
