Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage Parish - Lodlod,Lipa City

Today we visit my local church in my barangay, The Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage Parish which is located at Purok 3 Barangay Lodlod, Lipa City. But first I need to apologize for the poor quality of the pictures here because of my really old phone and I really need to put something here because its required by my professor.

The church has been re-built a lot of times now, at least from what I remembered since when I was a little kid back then. Now it really its scenic and feels immaculate. I still remember how we attend every sunday mass and how lively the community is. Seeing your neighbors, relatives and friends attending the same mass feels like were one big family in the presence of God.

Ringing mechanism (I don't know what is called)

The churches through time turns historical and within its time period its architecture gradually degrades and with natural disasters like earthquake and typhoons that challenges its durability it will definitely needs some sort of enhancement and redesigning.

 With the advancement of technological stuffs they find ways to upgrade their equipment, architectural structures and change their traditional way of practices. Like for an example the lighting of the inner structure back then they used candles to light up the inner halls, now they used LED lights not just for lighting but for being energy efficient too. And having strong interior for earthquakes and such.

Our church still is on a on-going renovation and construction, through the used of social media they post advertisement  about their "donate for a cause raffle draws" which helps the church for the construction of the church. They are using a product of technology to help them gather enough funds to support the construction of the church.

There's still a long time for the construction to finish, what we're seeing now were just a glimpse of an incoming better and beautiful Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage Parish church. As for me I'll keep an eye on this and maybe I'll post about it when its finished.

Here's some other potato quality pics of the church.

That's all for now. See you in my next post.

What is Technopreneurship?

As a student, the word technopreneurship is a new word to me. I'm not familiar with the word and having it as a course,  somehow piqued my interest as how will it help me in the long run.

Technopreneurship

From what I understand, its basically a combined word of "technology" and "entrepreneurship". Technology is the application of scientific knowledge to practical purposes and entrepreneurship is the creation of business from an idea to use it to for opportunities and gain profit. An entrepreneur is a person who starts a business and is willing to risk loss in order to make profit.

So from those two words, technopreneurship is an idea of making a business with the use of technology in order to invent something new and innovative products for the consumers, while making profits.

A technopreneur is a new age entrepreneur who makes use of technology to come out with something new to make some innovation. Once the person succeeds in it, s/he exploits his/her achievement in the market to make money. A technopreneur operates business differently from any other businessman.

My instructor, asked us what should we do if we had a supply of nuts and milk? We said to sell it. But then he told us that having resources to sell isn't enough, you need to be creative to make something new and different out of your resources in order to advance your products, in order to innovate the lives of the consumers and discover hidden paths towards great success. Well, if you think about it, consumers will easily grew tired of your products since humans get tired of things easily, so in order for them to patronize your products, you need to give them something new. So that means being resourceful is one thing but thinking and doing something new out of it, takes it to a whole new level. And in the case of technopreneurship, that's innovation, which is a key to finding greater heights of success.

This somehow reminds me of Apple's Iphone. They revolutionized mobile phones by combining regular cellular phone, Ipod and internet. And its concept is still being used till now. 

Importance of Technopreneurship

• It creates more job opportunities
• It increases value of local resources
• It makes businesses diverse and decentralize
• It promotes technology
• It helps the economy

Conclusion

For me technopreneurship is a good use of technology while making money. Such a simple idea could make such a huge difference in our life and to our world. Like what Albert Einstein said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution."
