Dang! It has become a choice “between an apple and a banana.” And the impossibility of a mathematical formula turned me into a basket case overnight.
An algorithm is presented that can reliably distinguish between an apple and a banana is presented. This algorithm, which runs in linear or O(n) time with respect to image size, counts the number of set pixels in a low grade B&W image. Using a wide collection of apple and banana varieties and sizes, the algorithm was able to successfully distinguish between apples and bananas.
An algorithm for distinguishing apples from bananas

Oh Brother! If only this is as easy as Sunday morning. No. Not the algorithm from the abstract above but of a personal decision I have to make—due in less than two weeks.
Dumaguete or Cebu? Alternative/boarding/Waldorf-inspired school or regular? Multicultural slash global or south of P.I.’s upper crust? The opportunity to travel and the remuneration is out of the question. Both choices weigh just the same and offer upward mobility, and dang! It has become a choice “between an apple and a banana.” And the impossibility of a mathematical formula turned me into a basket case overnight.
And above all this chaos, just as the last of the boxes for shipment is sealed, at the back of my mind, getting my hands dirty in an advertising firm in Mega Manila is just as tempting!
Time bomb is ticking! Holler 911!
