Am I The Only One?

Who cannot relate to this Twilight kraze because I am not a fan? Since early this week, I have been seeing people’s post in Facebook about Twilight Breaking Dawn movie in theaters. In a day, there were more than people posting with topic. Today, they were even more because of the grand opening in theaters. I wonder how much will be its income. Not that I care.

Many will probably bash me for this post because I am so out of the loop. I am sorry but I really cannot relate. I am not really a vampire-story fan.

Anyway, I hope all of you who went to see the movie had fun and were satisfied. It is not a good feeling to have wasted time and money on something that you really like.

On The Arroyo Hullabaloo

I have not been watching the news recently. When it is already airing, I would transfer the channel to Disney Junior and let Ayex watch cartoons. It helps me feed her dinner smoothly and saves me from hearing lots of negative stuff happening in this country.

That was why, when I read a friend’s tweet about the happening in NAIA, I thought she was referring to a personal experience. I felt stupid after reading the news online. x(

Being a human, I feel that somewhere, she should be allowed to be treated for her medical condition. If claims are true that she can be treated right here, then I think she should not be allowed to travel elsewhere. Going outside the country, specially to countries where Philippines does not have any existing extradition treaties could be a sign of fleeing.

Grabe, kung balak pa nilang tumakas, talagang wala na lang ata silang kaluluwa. Ganyan na ang dinadanas nila, nagkakasakit, hindi pa rin nagbabagong buhay. Kahit bigyan sila ni taga-bantay ng 100 days, sure ako, kulang yun para ituwid nila ang mga mali nila. Ang sa akin lang, time to fear death and start changing ways.

For the government, I pray that they file the cases ASAP to stop this drama.

Safe Internet Usage: Read and Practice

Last night, I was on my Facebook wall when I saw several posts from a relative. His post was about Miley Cyrus. His posts looked suspicious because of the image preview. I became more suspicious when I saw he also posted it in his dad’s wall. (I mean, if you are browsing some adult content and you are underage, you do not want your parents to know because you will get reprimanded.) I saw him online and I asked if he is really online. Without waiting for the answer, I asked who is he. My guts was telling me that my relative’s account got hacked. He replied and said he was a classmate of my relative and that he accidentally clicked on something using that account. He said he already texted my relative to inform him. Then I asked the classmate if he knew that he triggered a virus. Then there was no response.

I immediately created a shout-out to my relatives on my wall and in our group warning them about the said link. And I really hope no one clicked the link out of curiosity.

See, that is the problem of this generation’s teeners. They are very curious and they hate taking precautions. They do not think before they click. They do not know what is safe and not. And even if they know, they do not practice it! That is why they end up infecting their accounts and gadgets.

Now, I do not know what will happen to that FB account. Spammers, virus and other malware and online threat are everywhere. If we do not learn how to safely use the powerful Internet, we will end up divulging private things online and we can get into more serious troubles.

Safe Internet usage should really be part of Computer lessons at school and at home.
