Sige, kopya pa…

August 31, 2013 • Leave a Comment

Copyright infringement… Plagiarism… Para sa maliit ang utak, masyadong malalim ang ibig sabihin niyan. Sisimplehan ko para sa inyo.

‘Yan ay simpleng pambabastos ng isang lathala at ng isang manlilikha. Sige, ita-translate ko ulit, baka ‘di niyo na naman maintindihan eh. By lathala, I meanย a published work: painting, music, film, script. I use manlilikha to refer to the creator: an author, composer, the artist, the publisher. At ikaw? Ikaw ang bastos at walang kwentang balahura na kumokopya para:

  1. angkinin bilang iyo ang nailathala na; o
  2. i-distribute at pagkakitaan para sa sarili mong bulsa

Kapal ng mukha mo. Hindi pagmamalasakit ang ginagawa mo para sa mga taong hindi maka-afford na na-afford mo. Uulitin ko, pambabastos iyan at isang krimen.

At kung ikaw naman ang tumatangkilik sa mga nakaw na ganito? Hindi ka nakakatipid. Tumutulong ka sa pagpatay ng industriyang hinahabol-habol mo. Ang industriyang bumubuhay sa minamahal at iniidolo mong composer, singer, author.

‘Wag mong gamiting excuse ang pagiging ignorante pagdating sa copyright, intellectual property rights at patent laws. Pwede ‘yan i-research sa internet. Tutal parati ka namang nakababad, ‘di ba? Maano’ng matuto ka gumamit ng Google Search para maintindihan mo?

Isang moral at civil crime ang anumang violation sa intellectual property rights. Gusto mo ba matawag na kriminal? Sana hindi.

Dear Politicians…

August 30, 2013 • Leave a Comment

alam niyo, hindi naman lingid sa kaalaman namin, ng taumbayan, na malakas kayo mangurakot. ako man ang nariyan sa pwesto niyo, baka din naman ma-tempt akong tumanggap kahit paano dahil gusto ko maging mas maginhawa nang kaunti pa ang buhay ko.

pero sana naman ‘wag humantong sa puntong ni hindi na pwedeng umasa ang kawawang mga taxpayers ng sapat na atensyon na dapat naman ay para sa kanila.

sharing here my BFF’s post recounting how difficult help came to a cousin of hers and his family. as of this writing, the family is still in dire need of finances so the hospital can release the death certificate which, in turn, is needed to process benefit claims from social security, etc.

why must life in the Philippines be so difficult for Filipinos? why are you, you politicos who profess to be in power so you can help alleviate the lives of Filipinos, living in luxury when so many cannot even afford to get proper medical attention?

i love my country so to hell with you government officials. i hope you rot. uulitin ko ang minsan ko nang nai-tweet…

tangnanyo, mamamatay din kayo. bubulukin din kayo ng lupa.

2013 Birthday wish list (Part 2)

Wala naman yatang pumansin sa unang post ko, ‘yung mga items mula sa Metrodeal na gamit sa bahay. hehe…. Anyway, wala din naman akong ine-expect kasi walang puwersahan ito, ‘di ba? Ano naman ang saysay ng pagreregalo kung napwersang hingin at ibigay? Pero ginagawa ko pa din itong birthday wish list ko para sa mga taong mahilig mag-isip ng maibibigay pero nahihirapan mag-identify kung ano’ng pwedeng ibigay.

So eto po, para hindi kayo mahirapan.

  1. Pray for world peace. (echos) Pero seriously, pray for peace.
  2. Say a prayer for me.
  3. Favorite ko ang white chocolate.
  4. I collect postcards. Or kahit mga sulat na gamit ‘yung mababangong stationery sets na bulaklakin. I prefer those that have been sent in the mail. As in may postage stamp at tatak ng alon-alon na mga linya. You know what I mean. Email me so I can give you my snail mail addy.
  5. Notebook. ‘Wag naman ‘yung pang-school, ha?
  6. Colored pens. (What? Na naman? :p )
  7. Flowers are nice. I’ll always love flowers.
  8. Books. I love authors Neil Gaiman and Paulo Coelho. But ask me regarding my other preferred authors and whether or not I already have a copy of these two’s published titles. My ultimate wish is to get a compilation of Pablo Neruda poetry. ๐Ÿ™‚
  9. Cake from Estrel’s. Hopia monggo from Polland. And siopao from Ma Mon Luk or Kowloon.

There. That’s about it. Hope this helps. And I hope to get something. Har har! ๐Ÿ™‚
