Presentations, Legends and Silverbolts.

Friday, October 30, 2009
I'm now done with my two presentations for CO and BC1. I now have a week of tranquility and peace. I had this tremendous migraine during my presentation on Subliminal Messages in Advertising of which is caused unknown.

BC1 presentation on How Technology helps with Business Operations, however, I delivered with a clear head but an unexpected event where my foot had struck a cable connected to the computer monitor had short circuited the projector and the splitter connected to it, forcing the rest of groups presenting to move to the other computer lab.

Why of all people who had stepped on that platform where the cable protrudes I have to be the unlucky one to break it? The heaviest maybe. In the end a burnt mark where the cable formerly resides is now a reminder to everyone to look where you are walking.

It is the best of times, it is the worst of times.

In any case, I've been Tweeting my outbursts and everyday stories in Twitter.com of which now I believe is very addictive.

Other than that, I can now sit down in front of the television with the PS3 controller in my hand and play Brutal Legend. It's a rock ballad for all the heavy metal fans who can't shake the metal out of their blood.  Yes, the metal will remain in our blood for the years to come.

Speaking of blood. The Silverbolts have been getting quite a turnout from those registered and the curious ones. I believe we now have 14 men and 16 women in our team and from those I got to know recently had already developed a kind of love for Rugby. I've also been elected president for the newly formed club. We'll see how the team will survive in the coming harsh years of assessments, assignments, group studies, research and other tough loving courseworks given to us in ITB.

But then, the thing about Rugby is it lets you forget all the stress and pressures of school. More like curl it into a ball and releasing it in the form of athletics and determination to play the most intense sport in the world.

As an ending note, if you want to make a good presentation please refrain yourself from reading cards or paper where your notes are scribbles. You can't make a good presentation from just reading. It involves engaging the people listening to you and watching as you make your point. Therefore engage the audience, not the paper. At least keep a small piece from your notepad in case you forget what to say. Luckily I have my trusty iPod in case anything gets too dull.

Thank you for reading.
