Essay, abstract or personal statement are some of the things needed in completing the admission requirements when applying for scholarship or simply for regular applications. It works as your passport to universities, colleges or institutes that will reflect about you and sometimes determines your chances of acquiring better offers.
In the postgraduate Institute where I am currently working, they normally require abstracts from the applicants in relation to the field of study that they are interested to apply. Part of my job before was to send out the call for applications for people who opted to study in Gender studies. I had the chance to read some of the abstracts of the applicants and I find it relevant to the current situation in the society. Gender studies are more focused on social issues rather than theoretical or quantitative analysis. Read the rest of this entry »
GPS Tracking Device Could Save Lives

In modern days, the tendency of being lost in the city is minimal compared before. Why did I say this? It’s because the use of GPS Tracking has now been widely practiced in techno savvy places like Bangkok for instance. I used to check out the iPhone of my friend and he showed me how to use it. First, you determine the point of origin and destination in the city map. Then a route will show up in a matter of seconds. It’s amazing to see shortcuts and new names on the road list which I have never heard before.
However, is it possible to track your family using GPS? Yes it is. Like what I’ve seen in one TV commercial wherein a kid got lost during the school fieldtrip so he immediately called his parents and in return the parents used the tracking device to tell the exact location of the kid. I really feel it is important to make use of GPS specially on emergency situations. It could save lives. I’d be most happy if I’m being tracked, knowing I am important to somebody.
Though I haven’t tried it yet, sooner when I travel to different cities I am planning to use it for direction purposes. I know it is a big advantage if you got a handy locater. Not only for the main reason of saving time. Also for experiencing real adventure using a techie gadget.
