Bulaklak

Heto, mga maninipis na petal (ano ba ang Tagalog nito?) ng bulaklak na kulay pink. Me bonus pa na mga itlog ng butterfly.

Ganda no (hindi ng picture ha pero ng wonder of nature)? Nakaswerte ako diyan. Matagal na larawan na iyan (2006), nakita ko lang sa files kasi manipis na ang available space ng aking hard drive kaya ako naglilipat ng files.

Nagamit ko na dati ang picture na ito sa aking teacher blog pero sige lang, ginamit ko pa din 🙂

Magandang araw ng Huwebes sa aking mga kaibigan sa LP 🙂

Beware of Scrapers

Early on, we have been taught that cheating is bad. It is bad and perhaps some or most of us have gone through the consequences of any cheating we may (or may not) have done.

Cheating is evil. It is synonymous with stealing, just as these two other words are synonymous with plagiarism.

Plagiarism?

Plagiarism is defined in dictionaries as “the wrongful appropriation, close imitation, or purloining and publication, of another author’s language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions, and the representation of them as one’s own original work.”

Now there is this guy, a crappy scraper who started copying recipes AND photos of food bloggers some of whom I happen to know. No, I will not link his blog url here.

Proof. First time I encountered and had frozen Yakiniku beef, I looked for recipes in the net and I landed on this page.

Blog featured above had several entries copied by the scraper (whose url I will not post because it will give him more traffic).

I was so surprised to know that several of my friends’ recipes and photos were copied.

I can haz screenshots of this scraper’s FB fan page with a fan base of 900+ Merde! You’ve been had!

Grabe! Scrapers/plagiarists like you are also called ______________.

I Got a Bag-All-You-Can Scholastic Books

We went to the 31st Manila International Book Fair on its last day which meant yesterday. I was really hoping to still get a bag in the Scholastic Books booth for the “bag-all-you-can” promo.

And I did. Woohoo! My total bill was PhP7,740 but I only paid for PhP995.00. Now what bargain could be better than that? I didn’t get just any books, these are Scholastic Books that we definitely love. Just ask my Geronimo Stilton fans in the house 😉

I got teacher reference books, mostly worksheets for reading comprehension, vocabulary, math, and writing.

We got books from other bookstores like recipe books (there goes the effective weight loss program I plan to start), the Time Almanac for Kids 2010 and 2011 for the son, ghost stories for the older daughter, Chikiting storybooks from Vibal and a Thea Stilton book for the youngest child.

Ondoy

Ang Ondoy ay isa sa dalawang bagyo na rumagasa, kumitil sa buhay ng marami at sumira ng mga ari-arian ng ating mga kababayan noong isang taon.

Ondoy

Apektado din kami sa aming lugar lalo na ang aming mga kapitbahay. Masasabing “swerte” kami dahil hindi kami pinasok ng tubig baha pero hindi pa din ito garantiya na sa mga susunod pang Ondoy at Pepeng ay ganito pa din ang sitwasyon namin.

Maraming aral na natutunan agkatapos ng napakalaking unos na ito. Sinasabi nga na ang mga ito ay tila bagang malaking dagok, malaking pagsubok na hindi lamang ang mga naapektuhan ang mga nagmuni-muni ng kahulugan ng buhay bagkus lahat ng tao na naging saksi kung gaano kalaki ang pinsalang tinamo ng ating mga kababayan.

Sana wala nang katulad nito na mangyari muli. Dahil ito ay mula sa kalikasan, dalangin ko na sana nakahanda ang mga dapat maghanda upang hindi na kasing laki at kasing dami ng nasirang buhay ang magiging sanhi.
