The vacation is coming to a close, and pretty soon it will be back to school or back to work. But I still haven’t finished reading the different chapter summaries of Jose Rizal’s El Filibusterismo.

There are 37 chapters, and the novel is quite riveting (although I still prefer the more romantic Noli Me Tangere). The El Fili has darker undercurrents which talk about revolution. It is easy to understand how the main character (Ibarra in the Noli) has transformed into Simoun in the El Fili.

As I’ve mentioned earlier, time is running out. I’m scrambling for a summary (or buod) of the entire novel. Perhaps if I had the luxury of time, then I would carefully savor Rizal’s writings and get to know his characters better.

Characters such as Padre Florentino, Fray Damaso, Isagani, Maria Clara, Senor Pasta, and many more will surely be treasured and remembered thanks to this masterpiece of Jose Rizal. Among the colorful characters I shall never forget is Donya Victorina, who was first introduced in Chapter 1 of the El Fili.

The strange thing is, most of us fail to appreciate the novel while we are still in high school or college. It is usually only when we have left the four walls of our school, when we are busy with work and family, that we finally learn to appreciate Rizal’s Noli and El Fili better.

That’s when we have more time, somewhat, to go back and read those old, yellowing pages. There’s no pressure, no high grades to aim for. There’s only the still, quiet air around us as we ease into a comfortable chair.

And as we go deeper into the story, we remember our life back then. Back when we were teenagers wishing we did not have to read Rizal, and back to the days when we had the time of our lives with our friends.

Truly, required reading does not have to be boring. It does not have to be some kind of chore. We may not see the true value today, but I am certain that somewhere down life’s road, we shall come back.

In the meantime, I will return to the pages of the El Filibusterismo, and admire the skill and writing talent of Jose Rizal.

Some laud the camera’s impressive light sensitivity and its hefty size. The camera feels substantial, not like something fragile that might break with rough treatment. With the EFS 17-85 IS in place, the camera weighs in at two and a half pounds! But it does fit into the photographer’s hands naturally, and handles very well.

Professional action photographers use this camera for outdoor work and enjoy its sharpness and color identity. The camera even cleans itself every time it is turned off, thanks to an automatic sensor cleaning feature.

Some users feel that the Canon EOS 40D is more suited to advanced camera users. The sheer number of features can be intimidating. Customers recommend a lot of patience and exploration, or even the purchase of special training DVDs to help new photographers learn the ins and outs of the 40D.

Here are just a few of the Canon EOS 40D’s many features:

* 10.1 Megapixel CMOS Sensor

I have only just seen the new adverts from Microsot starring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld. The latest ad campaign from Microsoft is an attempt to compete with the infamous Mac-guy adverts that people know and love starring numerous stars from UK and America.

I myself use a mac and I wouldn't use anything else. At work I use a pc and I can instantly tell the difference in usability and work flow and general coolness. There is no comparison. Getting work done on a mac is ridiculously easier it is a joke. Why? One simple answer is that it just works and will never let you down! Nothing will ever let you down on a mac. I have had my macbook for about a year and I have never had to call up "task manager" to close a program down, I have never had to take it into the mac store and tell them something has gone wrong, it has been my perfect tool in designing.

Don't get me wrong I know that windows machines can be useful. However, it completely depends where and when you are using a windows machine. It is a known fact that in a battle between Microsoft and Mac there is only one winner. Currently, it would have to be Microsoft. It hurts me to admit this but it is an unfortunate fact. They have the market under their thumb only because of the fact they were first on the "scene" and have been for so many years. PC's are cheap, affordable and easy to chuck into a school, home, office for a few hundred pounds.

A MAC requires a bit more thought and possible even a bit of risk. People ask themselves about spending all that money on a new machine that they dnt know well, whether or not it is worth it or not. 'Will I be able to use it properly after being so use to a Microsoft pc?' This is primarily the problem with anyone surely wanting to purchase a MAC. People are scared. What people don't realise is that a MAC machine could cost slightly more money but the benefits are un-surmountable. You buy a PC and expect it only to last for a few years literally if your lucky! I buy my MAC and expect it to last for ten years, easily with no problems! So what would be more expensive? Having to continuously buy more and more PC's over the space of ten years or just having one MAC that you know will last you.

It arguable to say that a lot of Microsoft software from the past had originally been based on Macintosh programming but that is still not confirmed they are only rumours circulating various websites. Either way, this battle between a MAC machine and a Windows machine will always rage on for many years to come! But I would personally never buy a Windows machine ever again.
