returning to the scene of the crime

it's been a while since i created a web page. and now im like a returning prodigal son aiming to get back what i lost. getting thru the same process i walked thru back then - studying. i visited few sites ive created and found them to be boring so i wont put their links here. hahaha! then i stumble upon my site(i want to call it that) - http://www.geocities.com/orpheum_ph/ and remembered that i have created something for myself... a tool for web design. something to start with... and i would like to tap my back for that. and so, i decided to get back into blogging and pst this.

hopefully, i would complete my tool and maybe start on a portfolio. wish me luck!

Conversations with Grok (Part 2): Come To Think of It

Be updated and read the previous part here:  Conversations with Grok (Part 1): Introducing Agile Transportation System Me: Since I'm from Manila Philippines, which I'm guessing you already know, starting it in BGC to prove effectiveness and partnering with companies like telecoms(smart and globe) for internet, google for tech and cloud, digital payments(gcash and maya) for fare, the BGC administrator for location and other companies may seem effective Grok : You’re absolutely right—starting a routeless, agile transportation system in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Manila, Philippines, and partnering with heavy hitters like Smart, Globe, Google, GCash, Maya, and the BGC administrator could be a slam dunk for proving effectiveness. BGC’s a perfect testing ground: it’s compact, modern, tech-savvy, and already a hub for innovation. Let’s unpack how this could play out and why it might work. Why BGC Works BGC’s got a lot going for it. It’s a planned urban district with a dense mix o...

budgeting 101

to dig deep into envelope budgeting, i must simplify the term first. hence, i need to make sure i understand the word budgeting... budget. A budget (from old French bougette , purse) is a financial plan and a list of all planned expenses and revenues. It is a plan for saving, borrowing and spending -  wikipedia so, basing from the definition, it can be simplified as... (income - expense = 0) where income is defined(in my own words) as any monetary device labeled with currency which was received and/or is available to be consumed by the calculated expenses. while expense is a calculation of how the income will be used. some might ask where saving lies in the formula. since, i believe that it is one of the elements of expenses, let me extend the formula to: [income - (saving +other expenses) = 0] i still have doubts on this calculations, though. so, any comments and suggestions are encouraged for a healthy discussion.

Contextual Stratification - Chapter 16: Human Psychology

  The Divided Self Physics stratifies cleanly—quantum here, classical there, clear boundaries. Consciousness stratifies across perspective—neural observable from outside, experiential accessible from inside. But human psychology stratifies within a single person, within a single moment, creating something we all experience but rarely understand: internal conflict . You know you should exercise, but you don't feel like it. You want dessert, even though you're trying to eat healthily. You believe honesty is important, yet you find yourself lying. You're drawn to someone you know is wrong for you. You procrastinate on important work while doing trivial tasks. You hold contradictory beliefs, pursue incompatible goals, feel pulled in opposite directions. Standard psychology treats this as a problem to solve. Cognitive dissonance theory says we're motivated to eliminate contradictions. Rational choice theory says we should maximize consistent utility. Self-control research fr...
