I have a bit idea about the word plagiarism. In my own understanding, Plagiarism is the act of copying other ‘s writings, story or copying any other’s thoughts, ideas and opinions. With the presence of the internet, online plagiarism is becoming common. Just today, I received a comment in one of my blogs from an online friend that goes this way’
“naku sis u supposed to embed your url or name in ur images or else u’ll be plagiarized..”
First of all, I appreciate your comment Bro. AJ. That was a good act of reminding me. I really appreciate it. I will try my best to follow your comment. Anyway, most of the photos I uploaded in my sites are taken by me personally. If ever it is not mine, I usually mentioned where it came from. I also try to put the source of some infos which I sometimes get from other websites especially from wikipedia. I always use some infos from Wikipedia for general information purposes. I believed Bro. AJ is also right because sometimes we also don’t know if some people are also copying and pasting our contents and photos. I even read this in one of my online friends that her review was copied by another blogger. I believed she wrote the original ideas because she posted it first to her blog compared to the other one.
I have here a meaning of Online Plagiarism. courtesy by Wikipedia. If you want to know more about it, please feel free to visit their site for more infos.
“Online plagiarism
Content scraping is a phenomenon of copy and pasting material from internet websites, affecting both established sites and blogs.
Free online tools are becoming available to help identify plagiarism, and there is a range of approaches that attempt to limit online copying, such as disabling right clicking and placing warning banners regarding copyrights on web pages. Instances of plagiarism that involve copyright violation may be addressed by the rightful content owners sending a DMCA removal notice to the offending site-owner, or to the ISP that is hosting the offending site.
It is important to reiterate that plagiarism is not the mere copying of text, but the presentation of another’s ideas as one’s own, regardless of the specific words or constructs used to express that idea. In contrast, many so-called plagiarism detection services can only detect blatant word-for-word copies of text. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagiarism

Weekend is almost over! How was your Sunday! We had a great one today. The weather is very nice until now. We went walking near our place and it was superb..blue sky and a bit windy but the sun is shining so good. I got here a photo taken during our trip to Paris last month. We had a cruise at Seine River in Paris, France. That was awesome. Never forget to have some cruises especially if you stay for some days in Paris! You might miss the fun and experience. I love Paris!

I never have a chance to contact my family back home to greet my dear Mother on her 62th birthday. I called a lot of times but to no avail to talk to my Mother. That is why I am expressing this now. I had a short conversation with my brother and they said that they had a very good birthday party for my Mama..I’m happy to hear about that!
My birthday wishes for you dear Mother:
I wish you always good things in life, love peace, happiness, contentment and most of all good health always! I love you and God bless you always!
Your birthday…
a time for warm thoughts
and fond memories,
for expressing the feelings and words
that often go unspoken,
for letting you the special person
in my life know
that you are loved and appreciated – always.
Happy Birthday Mom

I have been thinking now if I will buy a new iPhone or a new laptop. I have been planning to buy a new laptop early this year. Just now, I was watching for a new video about iPhone that are on sale. I guess I am changing my mind again. I always exchange something for my new laptop especially if I see a lot of items on sale at Buy. Buy is simply great especially that they offer free shipping of the items you buy. Is free shipping in Europe included too? I can’t wait to have my new iPhone or laptop maybe? I am such a gadget geek! have a great weekend in advance! time for a short break!

I have been looking for my USB stick and finally found it today. I have a lot of USB sticks where I save my photos when I go for a long vacation. I was just wondering where it is because I was looking for a certain photos from London. After some time of looking it, I finally found it. I will upload it later to my external hard drive. I hope to share more photos in England especially in London in my travel sites. I’m happy now!

Winter is over! Now it is finally spring time. The weather is getting nice for the past days. Today is still raining outside. My husband is planning to change the winter tires of my car and his car too. I know it has been a long time since he is planning to buy a jack to lift cars. It just came to his mind now that he will be changing our cars’ snow tires tomorrow. If you have no idea what is a jack, here is a short meaning for it. A jack is mechanical device used to lift heavy loads or apply great forces. Jacks have different kinds and uses. The most common form is a car jack, floor jack, or garage jack which lifts vehicles so that maintenance can be performed. If I am not mistaken the one we use for our water pump back home is called a hydraulic floor jack. Am I right? Your idea is well appreciated. I hope my husband can find a car jack for our personal use. Time to go for lunch now. Enjoy your TGIF!

Good day to all! It is still raining outside. The plants, trees and flowers in our garden are happy having the rain pouring on them for the first time during the spring season. It has been a long time that I was not able to share some vocabulary..How about one for today. I also need it sometimes because even I know some English, some words are still strange for me! let’s learn and have fun! here it is..
VOCABULARY FOR TODAY:
chimerical ky-MER-ih-kuhl; -MIR-; kih- (adjective) – 1 : Merely imaginary; produced by or as if by a wildly fanciful imagination; fantastic; improbable or unrealistic. 2 : Given to or indulging in unrealistic fantasies or fantastic schemes.
“…At the same time he could not believe that that trove, supposing it had ever existed, still existed, and though he considered the treasure as by no means chimerical, he believed it was no longer there.” — Alexandre Dumas, ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’
Chimerical is ultimately derived from Greek khimaira, “she-goat” or “chimera,” which in Greek mythology was a monster having the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a dragon.

I had a two months vacation in Las Vegas last year. It was the first time I spent a vacation in this famous capital entertainment city of the world. Being a photo addict I guess, I took thousands of pictures and less than hundred of videos from this city. As I returned to Europe and downloaded all the videos, I can’t even view it. Do I need File Extension THM to view these videos?
I read a very informative article about File Extension THM and how it help us view our videos in our Windows OS. I have been looking for this infos for months already. The problem is sometimes, I forgot to browse it in the net because I am already surfing with other things and I’m also very busy with blogging. Thanks to I File Extension THM for giving me these very great infos. I am only familiar with .jpeg and bmap files.
For now, I even have more ideas about it because of some infos at I File Extension THM and more other file names like avi file, thumbnail file and the like. I can probably open my videos now if I will download File Extension THM. Thanks for your help and infos guys. Your site helped me a lot! If you have trouble viewing your videos and some related problems about these files, you can also visit their site!
