INFOSEC week 5 and 6

Week 5 and 6 was better for me than week 4 which was the week my cousin died and I was already feeling better after our cousin was cremated and we put his ashes in a church's place where ashes are put since I don't really know what it's called and it would be wrong to call it a cemetery during week 6.

The new lesson which focused on legal issues, privacy and ethics also piqued my interest more than the previous lesson which also helped on me focusing and paying attention.

The case on Apple vs FBI also was very interesting and the pointing out of the reason why the case was such a big issue and how it is compared to the case of our Supreme Court Judge Corona being impeached. 

INFOSEC Week 3 and 4

I'm not sure what was happening with myself during this period but I vaguely remember not participating much or not being attentive during discussion on the discussion for these two weeks which was focused on operational organizational security. I think the morning of the day when we started the discussion on the new topic was when me who usually woke up early kinda regretted that because I found out that much earlier that a first degree cousin of mine finally died from the cancer he was suffering from.

We already knew the news of him suffering cancer weeks before and me and my siblings weren't hearing if he was getting well or not. Aside from my sister who visited him in hospital, all three of us brothers refused to visit him because we believed that it would make our cousin feel worse when we see him in a weak state. That, aside from me still attending school were reasons the reasons I chose why I didn't make the time to visit our cousin. It wasn't only during INFOSEC where I was affected, I was like that for around a week and when our family went to the church where the body of our cousin was being kept before it would be cremated, I saw that my cousin, who was a guy who was as big as me and maybe even bigger at times, had become so thin. My other cousins told me later on that that was actually better than when he was in the hospital because the body had clothes on and was probably processed before being presented in that fashion since when my cousin was in the hospital, he was so thin that his ribcages was showing through his skin and there were some parts that were even exposed due to the cancer eating through his skin if I remember correctly.

Anyway, I think that was for week 4. The most memorable thing that I remember that happened on week 3 was my group which composed only of Bautista (who isn't attending anymore after attending one or two classes) and me, got additional members because of students who were added to the class late who are compromised of Anino, Cortez and Ginno. There was also one meeting where Doc Manny substituted if I recall properly. That's the most that I remember of week 3 and 4 aside from the due care and due diligence and a bit of parts after that.

INFOSEC Week 1 and 2

Hmmmm.. . Second take on INFOSEC and a very different approach to how it is being taught. While I have nothing against how Prof. Sean teaches, I actually prefer how Prof. Justin teaches more. Having to read a more than 20 pages PDF with multiple possible questions that might show up in a quiz and trying to memorize those aren't really my strong point. It is obvious that I'm actually late in making this learning log though since I made a mental note to myself yesterday to make it and kept putting it off until later. It's good to know how to make a case study from the previous exercise/assignment and while I'm sure the assignment I sent was mostly wrong, I'm still unsure if the last name I put for Archie is correct and I forgot to inquire sir Justin before leaving last time. I'm also unsure if he sent made and sent sir Justin an assignment too since I forgot to contact him because I was cramming in making the assignment. Hopefully he'll be there next meeting so we can talk and discuss about how we'll go about making the midterm requirement
