Safety is unsure...

Nowadays, when technology can make anyone a criminal, safety can never be assured. In the Internet, you can never be sure of your privacy. You will never know when will your identity details have reached someone who is planning to kill you. You may never tell when someone called you, pretending to be a friend who is in the hospital and needs money for the medication, but just wanted to fool you without you knowing it.

We are not that perfect in voice recognition. Who knows, this criminal will also target your child, mother, sister, or friend as the next victim. Who knows, he or she will not only get your money but also your or their lives. As we can see, anyone can be easily fooled and the best thing to do is to prevent this.

If only there is a speech recognition software that can help us prevent such circumstances, life may be safer. As human, we are capable of making mistakes but if we make a software that can do speech recognition, then such problems can be avoided.

Valentine's Day Blues...

It is not true that only singles are alone during this day... There are also people who have loved ones but are not by their side. It is not easy for anyone to just sit back, relax and enjoy the moment looking at those sweet love birds who just came out of their cage, while you know you can't even experience that same excitement they had. Well, that is the sad part of being in a long distance relationship. You can not even look for a substitute date, you may but me, I would not even dare. Yet you can still have other options to ease that sadness in your eyes...

Hang out with your family. They miss you more than you do... Or you can call your friends and plan for a party at your house or outside. Spend the day without thinking that you are unlucky not to have your man around. At the end of the day, call him or chat with him. It may be a bit sad to see him but it can ease your loneliness, that somehow, it is not only you who is fighting the battle of misery. Enjoy yourselves and feel the moment, like you are face-to-face with him and distance is just a mindset.

Maybe these things will work. But mind you, there is no way that you should hide and lock yourself just because your date is not around. Love is in the air, this air may be a thousand miles away....
