Death and plagiarism.

Ano kaya kung lahat talaga ng tao ay gusto si Death? Kahit sandali lang nila siyang nakita o nabasa, o kahit ayaw nila si Neil, gusto pa rin nila si Death...

Parang nakakatuwang isipin na ganoon talaga kalakas iyung karakter ni Death, na magugstuhan siya talaga ng lahat ng nakakakilala sa kanya.

 

 

So about plagiarism. Noong isang linggo sa Mass Media and Society class kasi namin, nagsalita at nagpowerpoint presentation si ma'am sandali tungkol sa kasamaan ng plagiarism. Dahil journalism ang background niya, nagegets ko kung bakit sobrang concerned siya sa isyung ito.

I'm pretty sure that in my three years of making papers for various classes, I'd be guilty of a little plagiarism too. Lalo na't ako iyung klase na ayaw ng quotation marks, parenthetical citations, at footnotes. Pero hindi naman ako iyung sobrang nag-rip off ng whole quotes. Basta paraphrase lang. E apparently kailangan din ng citation iyung mga iyun.

Ewan ko, di ba masyadong big deal kung sa isang reaction paper na mali ang citation mo ay kakasuhan ka ng plagiarism? Syempre kung sobrang blatant iba na iyun, pero kung pagkakamali mo lang siya, di ba ang big deal naman niyon para sa isang bagay na kakalimutan/itatapon/matatambakan lang ng mga ibang scratch paper?

Maiintindihan ko kung thesis, o para sa contest, basta something na ipupublish o ilalabas sa maraming tao. At alam kong small things lead to bigger... things, pero sobra naman iyun para sa medyo insignipikanteng bagay.

May mga proseso namang dinadaanan iyan e, so kahit papaano, napapag-isipan naman iyung pagtrato sa mga kasong ganyan. Inisip ko lang din kasi, postmodern na rin iyung panahon e. Lahat ng kinain at sinuka na ng mga henyong nauna sa atin, kinakain lang at sinusuka lang natin uli.

 

In connection naman diyan, natatawa lang ako kasi. Apparently, ginamit iyung paper ko bilang source ng mga ibang online content at paper. Kanina pa ako nagsasalita tungkol sa plagiarism at pinapalabas kong medyo even-tempered ako about it, pero may sense naman akong i-avoid ang paggamit ng blog bilang source, lalo na't wala-wala lang iyung blog na iyun.

Sabi nga doon sa paper, anonymous Japanese student daw ako ng isang English class. Hello. Sana napag-isipan mong gumawa na muna ng background check sa pagkukunan mo ng info mo. Hindi ako galit, napapatanong lang ako ng, "Nyeh. Bakit niyo namang naisipan na gawing souce yung blog ko?"

I will come out of your tv sets.

That Joma is the pure, physical manifestation of Sadako's hatred

Which movie was this quote from?

*Get your own quotes:*

Funny how my quote turned out to be something from j-horror.

 

Gyeah. I am loving Heroes. Heroes come to me. I hope it airs on cable soon. 

 

 

*You're supposed to be able to type a word (your name, actually) so you can get your own "quote" but tabulas hates freaky html, so I guess you'll just have to click the link. :|

Oh leni.

I made a poem. This will only make sense if you're in our F161 Documentary class. Or if you know Leni Riefenstahl, then by all means, read. It might be entertaining for you.

 

 

Leni
Oh leni
Oh lympia
Limpiar

to wipe those tears off your face

Das ende.

 

Now I go write my paper.

Ayan. Kung gusto niyong maging part ng ART! Go film.
 
 
Iyung isa sa lista ng mga gusto kong gawin at hindi ko pa nagagawa bilang UP student ay ang mag-attend ng fair. Di pa ako nakakapag-fair ever.
 
Aktwali, pumasok ako ng fair kanina e. Nagdodocument iyung mga kaibigan ko, e ayaw ko rin namang maiwan sa labas para maghintay, kaya dahil matalino kami, binigay ni Jedd na nasa banda iyung gitara niya sa akin.
 
Kunwari raw nasa band ako. With my "Make Love, Not War" t-shirt, neatly parted hair, and f&h crotch pants. Buuullsheeet.
 
Nakapasok naman ako. Tapos nagpasikat ako't nilabas ko iyung DSLR ko't nagsimulang magpicture kasama sina Patti, Prech, Pet, at Lara. Medyo maaga pa niyon at wala pang tao.
 
Naisip ko na halos iyung buong punto ng fair ay ang mga concert at banda, na hindi ko rin trip, pero nandoon din iyung pakikipagkaibigan, iyung a night out with friends, ganoong tipo... kaya siguro pupunta pa rin ako sa fair sa Friday.
 
:| Okay. Go fair.
