Skill-sharing...but not really
After brainstorming on what topic I should make my video on, I decided to make a video on how to make a video. Although, it doesn't really show you how to make a good one. Or a normal one. It does however show a picture of my cat. Enjoy.
Face reveal Waow
As the title says, I, against my own will, will be doing a face reveal and explaining why I look the way I am. I'd like to mention once again that I'm doing this against my will.
As you can see, I'm not black or white and I chose to wear a T-shirt because, well, I like T-shirts. I'm also wearing jeans that are blue, because they are blue. Another thing you might have noticed is that I'm too busy to look at the camera as I was busy coming up with the title. Hard Work indeed.
I'm told to also mention the *Real* story behind the picture. Behold.
It all started when I woke up, or rather, after I was supposed to wake up. I looked to my phone to see the time, 10:30 am. I then tried going back to sleep until I remembered, I had class at 11. Rushing to get ready, I showered and when I looked at my closet, I knew exactly what I wanted to wear. Cause . all the other t shirts were in the dirty basket.
After that I had to come up with what pants to wear, and I know this will be hard to believe, but I chose the dark blue jeans over all the other jeans. It was to match my theme of wearing whatever is clean. A rule, I try to follow. And the *real* reason I didn't look at the camera was because I, uh, didn't want to. That being said, you now know the tale of why I look, the way I look.

Creating a Flyer
After creating my first flyer, I have decided I had the necessary qualifications to help others create their very own.
Now, how did I spend over 3 hours and still make this flyer atrocious you ask? Here's how:
1. Pick a theme or topic for your flyer.
2. Research about chosen topic.
3. Think about how you want the layout of your flyer to be.
4. Get a background picture, or make your own.
(Or do both and spend over an hour on a border of leaves that doesn't even look good)
5. Fill in the flyer with the information.
Just like that, you might be able to make a flyer as bad as mine. With a lot less time taken. A lot, less.
Softwares
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
There are two kinds of softwares, system software and application software. Unlike the previous iconic duo, system softwares are overshadowed by their fellow application softwares. One is widely known by everyone, and the other, only by those who crave deeper knowledge of the abyss known as I.C.T. And today, I'll be discussing their differences.
System Software:- System Software refers to the files and programs that make up the computers Operating System.
Application Software:- It is a program or collection of programs used by people(shocker) for either general or specific purposes.
As for their differences, I have stumbled upon a video that I did not watch(but saw the title and therefore will add it), to explain the differences.

Comparing Input and Output Devices
One cannot say 'Input' without mentioning or even thinking about 'Output'. Truly, an inspirational story. As for what they are, and how they are different, I will show a picture, the culmination of my research, effort and CTRL-key pressing abilities that *in theory* should help further your understanding on this particular riveting subject, in which only a vast majority of the population are aware of.
Some systems contain both Input and Output devices. A lot, Actually.

This is going to be hard to believe, but I actually used google to find these pictures, the link to them are in the picture itself.
Reddit-level Criticism
Another day, another "idea". This time, I have decided to read an article, a part of it, and criticize it as much as possible. (these are strange times)
My Opinion on the 'INTRODUCTION' of Article:
Secure User Data in Cloud Computing Using Encryption Algorithms
As I am aware of how invaluable my opinion is, I shall attempt to give as much information as I can on this introduction starting with:
"Cloud Computing is the ability to access a pool of computing resources owned and maintained by a third party via the Internet"
The writer starts off the article using some big words, not at "amelioration" level, but still words that may cause confusion for non-native English speakers. It also has an effect of making anyone who reads it instantly bored.
"Cloud computing usually involves the transfer, storage, and processing of information on the ‘providers’ infrastructure, which is not included in the ‘customers’ control policy"
Here, the writer adds in a little bonus information, which no one will remember. Although the introduction is meant for giving a brief 'opening' on what the rest of the article will be about, the writer chose to fill it up with in-efficacious words.
"The concept Cloud Computing is linked closely with those of Information as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS) all of which means a service oriented architecture [1]."
Should've put quotations for "Cloud Computing" now it just looks weird.
"The advantage of cloud computing over traditional computing include: agility, lower entry cost, device independency, location independency, and scalability [1]."
This is the start of a paragraph with no space at the start and a large gap after every comma, making the entire "paragraph" annoying to read.
"Although schemes with private auditability can achieve higher scheme efficiency, public auditability allows anyone not just the client (data owner), to challenge the cloud server for correctness of data storage while keeping no private information."
Learning from the mistake of not stating with enough space, the writer decided to add more, a bit too much, that it becomes, yet again, annoying to read.
Now, it may look like I'm nitpicking at the writer, looking for any small thing to hate on. And yes that is what I'm doing. Hence, the title.
You can check out the full article here: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/9799/a9f9bec6cf85715ca236035b5d89204b326a.pdf or by clicking the title at the start of the blog. Well, that's all for now. See ya.

Secondary Storage Devices
You ever just wake up one day and think, "I need to write a blog about Secondary Storage Devices"? Yes? me too.
Text Book Definition:
A secondary storage device is any non-volatile
storage device that can be either internal or external to the computer. Data that is less frequently accessed are
usually transported to the secondary storage device to free up space on the
primary storage device enabling the computer to run better and faster. Additionally,
they don’t directly interact with applications and are not under control of the
CPU.
There are many different kinds of secondary storage devices ranging from ancient technology (CDs) to the most commonly used USB and HDDs to the latest cloud storage. Crappy pictures taken from google can be seen below:

Name: (already mentioned)
Age: 18
Country: South Africa (Passport/Father), Philippines (Mother) , India(Grandfather), and born in Malaysia
Languages I speak: English
Course: Bachelors of Computer Science ...is the plan, for now it's Foundation
Hobbies: - Basketball (I'm bad at shooting)

I'll be filling in this blog with my past experiences here, and future ones to come. Only if they are interesting in my eyes though, your opinion matters not here. Well that's all for my first post.
