Badly Needing

I badly need a PC.

This realization frustrates me every time I go to my favorite computer shop and spend 40 pesos just to finish all the stuffs I need to accomplish there.

I thought, probably I already owned one if I would sum those nth 40 pesos I spent. This fact frustrates me more.

I am a teacher and for me, teacher’s technology is the computer. That is why I consider computer a necessity. And even from the start of my teaching career, I found out how valuable the computer is to my life and how it is useful in my profession.

First. It was every quarter of the school year that I rushed to computer shop to encode and compute my pupils’ academic grades. If only I have a PC I wouldn’t need to stay out of my boarding house late and suffer from starvation.

Second. Quarter exam. The deadline already passed. If only I have a PC I would have passed the examination questions ahead of time. Not owning a PC destroys one’s punctuality.

Third. I don’t have a generous source of books and I need supplemental facts on my lessons. Libraries are very far from where I stay and going there will be impractical plus the fact that I don’t have enough time to go there. If only I have a PC I would have searched the net or even the Encarta for additional information I need for my lessons. Not owning a PC limit’s one’s reach to intelligence.

Fourth. My school days were busy that I needed to rest early after school. I woke up to do the things I needed for my Masters and it was too late to go to the nearest among the far computer shops where I should do my work. When will I finish my research, PowerPoint presentation and written report? If only I have a PC I would be able to accomplish all of these even if I stay very late at night. Not owning a PC makes one settle for the things one only have.

Last. If I own a PC I wouldn’t be here in a crowded computer shop, together with a bunch of loud-mouthed teenagers whose shouts make one’s eardrums crack, doing my blog.

In doing researches, reports and presentations, computing grades, typing of exams and gathering facts, technology is badly needed by me and I badly need a PC.
