What I have learned after my Facebook account has been hacked
                

         Snakes also resides in cities, so do they on the social media, specifically on Facebook. I can tell because I have experienced it first-hand. A person, I don’t know if a he or she, intruded and maneuvered into my Facebook account and left a terribly rude comment on my girl friend’s post which lead her to PM me and sent her disgust and hate to me for ‘posting’ that ill-mannered comment in public. Though it wasn’t really my fault and I couldn’t ever remember commenting such thing on her post, I still said sorry for my lapses and carelessness. I then immediately took some security measures for my account, changed my password and logged out my Facebook account in other devices thru a security option in the website.

Here are some tips on how to keep your Facebook account safe from hackers and intruders:

1.       Avoid using public computers or shared devices in accessing your Facebook account.
You might leave traces of your account’s information and with just a few clicks, somebody could get into it and use your account for their greedy, personal reasons.
2.    Secure a security lock or passcode for your app and more importantly for your devices ( laptops, tablets, or smartphones)
It will help, if in case you usually leave you gadgets unattended or somebody might steal them, not to easily have access on your account or in any apps you have.
3.       Don’t publicize all your personal information.
 Limiting access to your personal information will help you be less vulnerable to scammers and hackers. Also, don’t just accept friend request from anyone whom you don’t know for extra safety precautions.
4.       Change your password from time to time and make sure only you knows about it.
What’s the use of a password if somebody else knows it? It should be a top secret.
5.       Don’t be careless.
Anything could happen anytime so don’t be so sure about everything and let your guards down, especially if it is about your safety.

Patience

An Original Piece

Give it some time,

An eye will flutter open and the other will follow.

Give it some time,
And the nose will smell your sorrow.

Give it some time,
And the ears will hear your pleas.

Give it some time,
And the mouth will learn to say riddles.

Give it some time,
And the mind would soon find the Answer.

And so, the feet will follow the destined path.

The hands will do its work,
And the body will yield its bounty.

On Bad News
A Reaction Paper



          As I conceive it, I think Bad news is worth aired, if and only if, if it is for the purpose stated on the book authored by Malinao (Journalism for Filiplinos). It must solely serve its purpose to call for awareness and vigilance for both of the public and the government in whatever is happening inside our country or in our neighboring countries.

          Sadly, what I sometimes hear, see and observe from some press people of today makes me doubt in the credibility of their news reports. Some of them let themselves, consciously or unconsciously, be used by powerful and greedy propagandists' agenda. I hope that this malpractice in the profession of journalism would be duly addressed and resolved someday. I hope and pray that journalists would uphold to their oath as a voice of the people and maybe then, "bad news" would result to a "good news" for our country's reform.

Anong New Year’s Resolution Mo?


Taong 2017 na.

                Panahon na upang baguhin natin ang mga hindi wastong bagay o kaugalian na nakasanayan na. Halimbawa ay ang katamaran na siyang isa sa pangunahing hinaing ng mga magulang natin at guro sa atin na mga estudyante. Hiling nila na sana matuto na tayong magsipag sa pagtupi ng ating mga damit sa cabinet, maglinis ng ating kuwarto o sa pagligpit ng ating mga abubot na nakakalat kung saan-saan, na hindi tayo late sa klase o sa pagpasa ng mga projects at requirements o sa pagpapasa ng assignment natin.

                Aminin na natin mga tsong, ang hirap nitong baguhin ‘di ba? Ano kaya’t ito ang gawin natin resolution ngayong taon?

                Actually, ito din sana ang nais kong gawing pagbabago sa sarili ko this 2017, hindi dahil nape-pressure ako sa sinasabi ni Ma’am o Sir o sa mga pangaral ni Mudra kundi dahil kailangan ko talaga ito para sa sarili ko.

                Imagine? Sinasayang lang natin ‘yung effort natin na gumising ng maaga, maligo kahit ke-lamig-lamig ng tubig para pumasok sa eskuwela? Minsan nga nakakatawa na nakakabanas na tamad tayo sa eskuwela pero anlakas nating pumutak kapag bumagsak tayo sa klase dahil wala tayong projects na napaipasa o zero tayo sa quizzes dahil kung hindi tayo absent eh, wala naman ang utak natin sa klase. Gosh, ulit na naman tayo nito next sem. Nasayang na naman ang panahon. Same class, same kabulastugan, same result at ang ending? Habam-buhay sa kolehiyo. ‘Wag naman po sana, Lord.

                Iyong bags ko nakaimbak lang sa cabinet, hindi ko naman lahat naaalagaan o nagagamit. Kayo, may ganito din ba kayong struggle sa buhay? Minsan naisip ko, grabe din kaya ang effort na kailangan natin mapapayag lang si Madir at Padir maibili lang tayo ng bagong damit o sapatos na sunod sa uso. May ginagawa pa tayong ‘tampu-tapuhan-with-all-the-dabog’ style, ‘industrious-child-doing-the-chores’ style at marami pang hokage style makuha lang natin ang ating gusto. Sayang ano?
                
                   Ano kaya’t subukan kong magsipag at ayusin ang laman ng cabinet ko? O mas sipagan ko pa sa klase at sa pag-aaral ng mga lesson para makuha ko ‘yung pinaka-aasam kong uno na grado? Ang sarap siguro sa pakiramdam na tinitulungan ko ang sarili kong umangat at mapabuti, na hindi na ako naii-special mention ni Prof. at hindi na pinapagalitan ni Mama. Kung magiging Masipag ako, happy si Mama. Kung magiging Masipag ako, gaganda pa ang grado ko at sana ay maging uno. Magandang grado, malaking tsansa sa pag-abot ng dream job ko.

PUSH!
