Week # 4 Plagiarize me not

Plagiarism.
If you actually think about it, this word is viral. Viral in some case, that a human brain can adapt it so easily, it actually one of the things people are into. And what they are not aware about it, it's actually an immoral act that goes beyond jurisdiction in any matter.

It can be an educational plagiarism, a business plagiarism, whatever they call that. Well, that's one and two about what I think it actually and usually happen with.
For educational, I only exaggerate this one with such term, but it still is apply on every person, or should I say students especially on quizzes or examinations. You know what they say, the cheating processes. Shhh!
What about the business thing? Well, there is a law something about the Code of ethics. And they also lecture us about avoiding such. Because, designs can be imitated so much, sooooo.. h*ll NO with piracy.

I'm actually one of those anti-plagiarism activists, because I'm into designing too, I'm always aware about how I upload my works and share to the public. Just few of those I own were uploaded for request purposes, and sometimes, to share thoughts and ideas. It's just that, in this kind of situation, we need control. There are rules and regulations that cannot just be implemented, sometimes discipline takes place and that people around should know the moral and immoral acts, Ethics.

Week # 3 Tamaditis

Long Weekend? How would this affect the students?
Well, we all know that when you are in the students stage, wherein you study study study, for 5 days a week, or even 6, which usually apply for college students, there's always a tendency that stress and/or a mean of finding more rest days will occur. And because of stress strikes, they tend to think that he/she needs rest too, or a self-esteeming, motivating, interesting activity that studying may be set aside for awhile.

Let's go to the mall! Swimming tayo! Gusto ko muna matulog. Are the usual dialogue you would here from every mind of a student when they actually want to go Holidays for themselves. Sometimes, and more often, we also tend to here, Tinatamad akong pumasok, a very ill and critical disease also known as, "Tamaditis". This was introduced to me by my Mom when it actually hit me when I am in my high school days, like few years ago. It's symptoms are really severe. One symptom is when you wake up in the morning, you don't actually get up so easily, you wanted to continue your sleep and drool a lot. Another one is, you play with your food on breakfast, and you delay your time from it, until you realize, you're 5 minutes late, you ask your mom if you wanted to go half-day for the meantime. As far as I can remember, it's one mean if you do so much delaying tactics from what you do in everyday as a student. And the most severe symptom of this is, you tend, to not study at all, instead you do other things for good of wants.


And this actually what may lead the students when they have long weekends. You undergo such processes, until you realize, you have IT. I actually, get this disease so many times already. The usual symptoms. The tendency is, I cram a lot from projects to assignments, and even review my lectures for upcoming quizzes or examination. And the only cure from it is, THERE IS NO CURE. RAWR!

You just have to prioritize things out, and commit yourself for it. I wish I can motivate myself from commitments to do and GO GO GO.
