Today, I started tweaking with OpenCV's highgui. Well, what I just actually did was to display hue, saturation and value of my webcam images on separate windows. Nothing much, but it's still a progress.
I am planning to write my own CAMSHIFT implementation. By doing so, I will be able to tweak it in anyway I want, contrast to using the built in one.
But I guess I'll just have to play DotA right now. I feel like there is much much time left and I really don't need to haste things up. Besides, I am pumped up by last night's game with Kuya Nico and his brother, Mike. We literally nailed our opponents, ending with a 32 : 1 kill-death ratio.

Stupid Gay!
I had my hair did, finally after 2 months. It was the first time I went to a parlor, I used to go to barber shops. I don't know what got into my mind, I usually don't care on how I look, I guess I am starting to realize my need for a new mate, hahaha.
To cut the story short, I don't like my new hair. Now I am on the mainstream gel-wearing part of the Philippine male society. My hair's all spiked up and effing messed up with varying hair strand lengths. What the hell??!!!!!
I take pride on my old boring hairdo. It fits my personality really really well, besides the fact that I resemble Jose Rizal, it gives me the feeling that I am one of the few people who give less effort on physical looks.
Oh well, what's done is done. I guess I'll just have to be happy on what I have and what I am now. But still, I am a perfectionist on my own accounts and have established a well defined image on people. This is like yelling that I do drugs, catch me and throw me to prison.
Note: this is not intended to stereotype. Just thinking out loud, hate stereotypes.

Officially Bumed Out!
After one whole month of practicing for the Paniqui North District Choral Competition,we ended up grabbing the second place. The sopranos just didn't have the spirit (yes the spirit), somebody just bounced out of the meter and carried the whole choir down to the grave. But hey, we had fun, shouldn't blame anyone.
Guess another chapter of my life has ended. Many lessons learned, people met and money spent. What I hate about us Filipinos, together with my other countless pinoy reklamos, is our being sooooo regionalistic. I am an Ilokano by blood and tongue, so I guess being around with Kapampangans irritates me a teeny weeny bit. I think they are narrow-minded and selfish toward others they consider "not (with) them".
Well, ok, I'll change my tone, I think I am over reacting and generalizing. There is this certain kapampangan barkada that really hates Ilokanos. Sometimes, I hear them say "Ilokano", then laugh afterwards, now what the hell is that? I guess, I'll have to live with the fact that some people don't understand the concept of "culture". I mean, come on, almost everything is culture bound especially the concept of what is right or wrong.
Defending myself from my prior statement, and defending others on the contrasting side of my third paragraph, we're only humans. Thus, humanity is defined by fallibility. But fallibility is not enough reason for not knowing what is right or wrong (on a certain context).
Hmm. It's been a while since my last post and I haven't been using English for half a year now. Well, I actually refrain from doing so. Guess I have to work on my thesis again. Stupid object tracking crap.

Lessons From Kuya Tute's Blog
Una, be workaholic. I know it's in my blood
Pangalawa, finish what you've started. Going to make my thesis.
Pangatlo, mag blog. Sayang yung Korea experience e.
Pang-apat, completely burahin ang Warcaft III sa computer na hopefully I will never be tempted to install it back again as I did twice in the past already. Though at the back of my mind, I can always play on the desktop. hehehe.
Pang-lima, treasure friends.

Humans and Machines and Logic: The Lesson
So, alam nating lahat na AI ay computer na may sariling pagiisip o kayang magdesisyon sa kanyang ganang sarili na parang taong nilalang, dahil sa pop culture, yey!
.
Ito ang catch, ang problema sa AI, pano mo imomodel ang brain o better yet, ang human thinking o logic.
.
Bakit mahirap ito? Dahil karamihan ng mga gngwa ntin o iniisip hindi natin masabi o maipaliwanag kung bakit natin un naisip o nagawa man.
.
Sa madaling salita, walang definite rule na nagdedefine sa human consciousness as a general kumpara sa mga concrete branches nito tulad ng Math (laws,theorems,etc.) o physics.
.
Example, pano malalaman na ung nakikita mo ay aso o tao? Basta alam mo lang na tao pero panu mo naisip na ganun nga?
.
Maraming approximations pero wlang exact concrete model. Actually lahat ng solutions ay tinatawag na approximations lang. Hindi ko na un sasabihin gugulo lang.
.
To establish my point, i want to introduce the INCOMPLETENESS THEOREM. Sabi niya, in my own terms, na there are more truths in any system than the ones we know. We can never know everything as long as we are part of that something that we are trying to define. So, the only solution is we go out of that system and define it from the outside. But by doing so, we are again on another system that we can never completely understand.
.
We know that we know nothing, from the AI illus and from the incompleteness theorem. We are but puppets and papers with fragile existence as dumb as a rock. Most of the times, when we see people whose lives or fate are not as good as ours, we glorify ourselves as we are not them.
.
We say bad things or even hurt people weaker than us. We thrive on other's fears and misfortunes even by the simplest passing of gossip.
.
But who are we to see, who are to view? We do not even know why we breath, why we see or why we know something or the purpose of why we know such.
.
Just like the machines we create we are all imperfect. One way or another we are flawed.
.
But yet, some of us deny God. Most of us do evil.
.
Thus we all lose.
.
.
LOL antok na ko! Violent reactions mag send lang ng smile. Any other reactions, including good ones are not accepted, niloloko nio lang ako e, alam ko namang nakukupalan na kayo
