"No matter how impossible the accomplishment of a goal may seem;
the man of intention never stops repeating conscious acts of determination to achieve it,as long as he lives."

About Me
- Nick Silla
- Oton, Iloilo, Philippines
- Everytime I recall my past, I often see myself connected with computers eventhough I really don't have interest into it eversince I was a kid, but eventually I learn to accept the fact that I will be facing computer all the days of my life. I can still remember when I was young and curious, my aunt having a computer gaming business usually ask me if I will play games for free but I will then shake my head and say "No". During highschool because of financial difficulties I was not able to get computer subject even if it means high grades. College time came and I didn't intend to get a computer course but I enrolled Computer Programming. And now that I am woking I am facing computer for almost 24 hours a day, seven days a week and so on. Well, computer for me is fun, money and success. Life is like a computer, you can search, delete, recall, calculate, program but if you fail you get corrupted. Wait! It's time to work! To the computer again!
