Inquired to three universities today.

The first one offering BSEE is ABET but damn the cost, it's for the rich . I am not convinced to spend that amount for a BSEE Program.

The second one another university in the countryside that is a bit expensive than my previous university from last year and they said they will accept me to late enroll this second semester. I've checked their BSEE curriculum and I have more major courses available for this second semester but I'm afraid I'll be able to accommodate only 2 or 3 courses because I will have to make up for the prelims so it will demand more effort.

In addition, the second university has 2 physics courses in their curriculum as opposed to only 1 from my previous university last year.

The third university where I went to inquire was the one from last year but they are not accepting late enrollees for this second semester and my option with them will be to wait out for the first semester for this year but the only physical education course will be available for me which is a bummer. So that means I will have to wait until another second semester next year and will be a waste of my time.

Conclusion is that I will be transferring to the second university.

Not sure yet which of the following courses will fall on a suitable schedule for me but let see:
- Integral Calculus
- Engineering Data Analysis
- Material Science and Engineering
- Computer Aided Drafting

Almost forgot to buy something from the store for my food tonight hence I don't want to engage in a waste of time debates.

Too bad that lady Muslim friend is currently taking her Law studies. She won't be a good lawyer for lacking the logic and critical thinking tools in her arsenal.

I lost a Muslim friend today because we debated about Ukraine and then about Jewish and Islam as one.

She is against Ukraine and thinks the Russian invasion of Ukraine is justified. So I guess someday my country can invade her country and start raping their women and by her pattern of thinking, my hypothetical invasion of her country and the rape of their women is justified.

She accused me of being Jewish and a fake Muslim because I said that the core of Jewish religion and Islam is the same from which she asked me where in the Surahs that such claim is true? You don't need the Surah for this and even it is absent in the Surah does not counter the fact that the God of Abraham is the same God being worshiped by Jews and Muslims.

I am willing to lose stupid people

But seriously, it is fundamental Islam that is the root of the problem. Even if we resolve the problem on the Palestine lands, I don't think the fighting between Jews and Muslims in that area and around the world will stop.

I am sorry to say this but even as Muslim, I'd say on average Muslims are stupid.

Another case of why we need to lean towards moderation in Islam and embrace modernity.

Instead of using more time in Islamic studies, as Muslims we should study more of the STEM and arts & humanities. Just enough of the time to learn Islamic stuffs.

I have not met a Muslim yet that is able to exhibit critical thinking. to be honest.

Same thing also about this intelligence officer show up his face and identity to the whole world and then cries after his wife got poisoined.

Nobody in the intelligence community get's identified without getting the hit. That is why when your cover is blown, you are burned.

Why are things like this, Ukraine?

Regarding the Ukraine forces, why don't they keep quiet of their strategies and tactics, including new technologies.

I find it disturbing that their newly deployed laser weapons they announced it to the whole world.

When you fight a war, you do battle, you keep quiet of your strategies, tactics, and weapons.

A judge halted Trump and Musk's plan to destroy USAID and now Musk is targeting the department of education?

Why did the American people put these bunch of clowns in power?

So while Java is relegated to middleware and back end APIs development, with Java + WASM for a more interactive and faster web apps, the embedded systems and real time applications so far is still ruled by the C language.

Will be installing FreeRTOS on my Oracle virtualbox soon to get a familiarity about it. Will also get back on studying C but this time it will be embedded C.

Downloaded Apache Netbeans for ease of GUI building for an app soon.

Also checked on the latest techs in web development and realized WASM exist.

In line with this, I realized I can just develop Java using Swing or JavaFX for the GUI and run it using a WASM runtime for Java applications called CheerpJ and the typical desktop Java applications runs faster like it's a native app but inside the browser

Looks like WASM will be the future of web applications

The implication also is that I will be settling here in the Philippines.

Been pondering about my plans.

The delays on the trainings, the radical changes happening in the US and its effect in support of Europe, the rapid changing landscape of warfare in the Invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the rapid changes in the technology due to the war and the rise of Quantum Computing and AI, is making me think that staying in the course of the plan is leaving me behind in terms of growth both in the warfare and STEM departments. Furthermore, there is so much uncertainty about the plan while staying on track for STEM everything is stable and guaranteed feasible.

I guess I have to drop it and get back to my original plan on pursuing the STEM but this also means future warfare involvement will be more on technology instead of physical.

I stay on the plan to go to war and it don't work, I lose both the long term plans for warfare and STEM.

I stay on the plan to pursue STEM, it's guaranteed I get the STEM path at least, and this gives me a more stable tech growth for pursuing high tech weapons development.

Lessons learned. Don't put businessmen into government positions. Businessmen are not good statesmen

I remember an old flame from UK. We debated about Elon Musk back in 2022 because she wanted me to work in the future under Elon Musk. I said NO and NEVER!

She can work for Elon if she wants that 120 hour work week

I'm sorry but for the first time in my life, with Trump and Musk in the US government, I'd say the US is now a Circus

I don't know how this will affect US global power projection but we all know what happens if we put clowns on the throne.

I'm sorry for US, and good luck

WTF is going on. Elon Musk wants 120 hour per week work?

I work to live not live to work

Now for the Arabs, it is evident the hypocrisy.

For the Muslims, we lost the land of Palestine after the Arabs betrayed the Ottoman Empire. The bloodshed in that area is a consequence of that betrayal.

The Arabs are opposing US takeover of Gaza but then the Arabs didn't defend Palestine and they let it die while Hamas takes cover in the bodies of the Palestinians, while Iran is waging it's proxy war against Israel.

Heard about Trump's Gaza plan.

Not sure how they plan to make it work though and I am skeptic about it.

If it will truly work that will benefit the Palestinians I agree for it but if it will benefit the Israelis' settlements, I mean where is the justice in it?

Denying the Nakba is like denying the Holocaust.

There will be peace if there will be justice and that means equal benefits for the Israelis and the Palestinians and yes we need the state of Palestine.

Out for a gym workout today.

Tomorrow I will convene martial arts practice again.

Cancelled the 21 km run this night and instead started the review of the lessons in MIT-OCW for Single Variable Calculus under the topic of Definite Integrals.

Muscle pains.

Did gym workouts this afternoon.
