My Apology

It's been a while since the Pacquiao-Mosley boxing match that I haven't updated my blog. PEBA and the Sayangtist (trying hard chemist) in me, as well as being a full time father and husband is taking so much of my time. I am not complaining anyway. I love it. I love my family more than anything.

Anyway, this will only be short. An apology post. I had this experience before in WAYN or the Where Are You Now, where it send to my hundreds of contacts and keep sending annoying invitation and emails.

Now it happened again to LinkedIn, and even posted an invitation to my blogs. I have to delete my LinkedIn account for reasons that firstly, I didn't see any benefit to it, and secondly, it's purely annoying that they send a thousand of my contacts in my email with annoying invitations that I am inviting them to join my network. 

I may have clicked somewhere using my mobile phone that I am authorizing them to do it, so it's my fault, and so I am asking apology to all who received the email invitation and reinvitation. For LINKEDIN sake, can you just send one email? It's enough! Pero nanaykupo dalawang email na, and who knows hanggang ilang libo iyan. Mark it as a Spam, please.

And dahil bihira ako makapost, susulitin ko na. Sali po tayo sa PEBA Awards 2011. Blogging and Photography po na pakontest, and we hope all nominees will enjoy this season. Let me share a few of our ads here.

PURE BREED KIDS FOR ADOPTION (haha)

Ito ang advertisement, patawarin nawa ang kaluluwa nila, anong mga lahi to?

From: giegomaf@yahoo.com Date: Monday, July 20, 2009 Category: Vehicles (kita mo kung saan nakapost? Sa vehicles section!) Region: Dammam (dammam) Description: hello to any parent seeking to adopt a kid or kids i have these male and female kids who are ready to go out for adopting to any loving and caring home who will spoil them with love and care they are 5 months old i will be waiting to read from you asap - Mr. Giego Maf

So dali dali akong tinawagan ni Mrs. Thoughtskoto, at binigay sakin ang link. Hala ka, oo nga, for adoption!

Parang si San-guko pa ng Dragon Ball Z yung boy,spiky ang hair.

Akala ni Mrs. Thoughtskoto, namatay ang parents, awang-awa at nag-aalala itong mabait ko na lovefate. Sabi ko, siya, email mo na kung anong

lahi nung mga bata, at paano ba ang processing ng adoption,

baka kung kanino pa mapunta yan, kawawa naman. Ito ang email ng wife ko.

Hi,

I saw your ad regarding the 5 months old children for adoption.

I want to know why they are being put for adoption? And what's their nationality?

We are a Filipino family living in Khobar, I have a 15 months old daughter too.

I'm a wife who stays at home and we're interested for adopting the kids.

They will be taken care of, and we hope to bring them up as our own child.

Our little girl is also very friendly and very affectionate to other children,

she will be happy to have these kids as her siblings.

hope to hear from you soon.

- Mrs. Thoughtskoto

Hala ka ulit, parang totoo nga, nagreply eh, pero nung mabasa ko ang email reply,

I chatted Mrs. Thoughtskoto na basahin niya ang email at

sumakit ang ulo at tiyan ko. Haha.

Ito ang reply ni Mr. Giego Maf

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in our kids.

We are delighted to confirm to you that we still have the kids

that we are carefully

looking for a loving home for any of them.

they are 5months old, of pure breed, of same color ,

with full bloodiness,

good temperament and personality.

We have noticed that some people excitingly adopt children

but cannot care for them.

As such we are reluctant to exchanging our kids for money

but will prefer to offer them for free (pamimigay daw?) into any loving home

who will accept the following conditions.

If you will accept after getting the child to permit us visit the them from

time to time while with you just to ensure and

see that you are spoiling them rotten with love.

(ano daw? ay oo nga naman, pag spoil na ang food, di ba rotten na yun?

ay ano ba?)

Secondly if you are far from us, then you must agree with us to send

her pictures/videos regularly as the kids grow up in your home, as well

as related information on Tina and Dan's well being and development.

If you accept these conditions with your hand on your heart,

then you are free to contact us again to let us know where precisely you

are located so that we can arrange for you to have these little angels.

i was wondering can you confirm to me the following?

(teka binasa ba nito ang email ni Mrs. Thoughtskoto)

How soon do you intend taking these my little angles?

What kind of accommodation can you provide for the kids?

are you familiar with children

Where are you located?

are you married ?

Do you have a phone number where i can reach you?

What is your home address?

Have you ever been convicted?

Have you attempted adopting children before?

Were you successful?

Are you going to use her fro breeding or some kind of games?

(anong akala nito sa mga anak niya, manok? palahian of pure breed

at pansabong? haha)

all these questions am asking because i will like to know

what you are up to and to know if at all you really need this kids.

I just hope i have found the right family for my little angels.

I will have to take recent shots of her and send them to you later

Best regards

Immanuel and Jessica

Anong advise ang maibibigay niyo sa amin?

We believe this is spam or modus operandi,

and kung ano man ang tunay na hangarin nila,

sorry na lang pero lumuluha na kami ni

Mrs. Thoughtskoto sa katatawa.

Dont Just Trust - Email and Chat

Sa bawat araw na nagbubukas ako ng aking Yahoo at Gmail, merong mga email na  galing sa mga pinsan ng pinsan ng kaibigan ng lolo ko mula South Africa. No, mali po ang iniisip niyo, hindi po sila yung mga pinsan ng pinsan ng pinsan ng kaibigan ko na nakatira sa Manila Zoo. Sila po ay mga totoong tao na magbibigay saken ng mga kung anu ano, pati na ang mga bagay na di ko na mabanggit dahil di na kailangan pang banggitin at dahil marami ang mga mambabasa ko na wala pa sa tamang pag-iisip...I mean, mga mura pang isipan. Naks, isa ka na dun. Yes, ikaw. Magcomment ka nga, bata. hehe

Meron din akong mga emails galing sa aking mga fans na nasa UK, at maging galing ng India at minsan sa Europe at US of A. Ganun pa man, kahit dumarami sila, hindi po ako natutuwa.

Teka ha, sandali po at oopen ko lang ang aking email…

3, 929 po ang kanilang kabuuang bilang sa ngayon, sa kung anong dahilan at pinutakte nila ang aking account ay sadyang di ko pa lubos na naiintindihan. Hindi ko po kayang idetalye ang mga kahindik-hindik na nilalaman ng kanilang mga email messages, pero ibabahagi ko po ang mga iilan na maaring kayo man din po’y nakaranas or nakatanggap din.

Si Jon Standford na nasa South Africa, hinihingi ang aking account number at detailed info’s at ako’y papadalhan ng pera at kanyang ibabahagi ang yaman na namana niya sa kanyang yumaong ama.

Si Samantha Alfred, nagsasabing ako ay nanalo ng lottery sa aking email ay humingi ng aking address at contact details pati account numbers at ng maideposit ang halos di ko mabilang na zero’s of US dollars.

Si Amber Grissham, na HR Officer ng isang Oil company sa Spain pinapasubmit ako ng resume at credentials para maprocess ang aking pagkahire sa position na angkop na angkop daw sa aking propesyon – Forklift Operator Manager. Anong position yun? Hahaha!

Si Allan na manager ng GE, isang matalik kong kaibigan, nasa UK daw at nagsend ng email na humihiram ng 1000 US Dollars at nagkaron ng aberya sa lakad, at babayaran na lang pagbalik. Napatawag tuloy ako kaagad sa kanya, at ayun, natutulog sa bahay nila sa Khobar. “Ah, akala ko kasi na UK ka.”

Marami pa sila, may mga nagpropromise na palalakasin ako, pahahabain ang mga kung ano-ano, tatanggalin ang bun-i, ap-ap, kulugo at kulubot sa mukha. May mga email ng instant pera at yaman, pati instant hair growth. Meron ring libreng laptop, chat at pati viewing ng mga kung sino-sino at kung ano-ano.

Buti na lang nakafilter kayo, lahat kayo napupunta sa Spam Box, masarap sana ang Spam in Can, pero bakit nga ba SPAM ang ipinangalan?

Nitong mga nakalipas na araw, si Kuya Ramil na halos tatay ko na nagsend ng YM message sa akin at minura ako sa English...Di ko nga alam na marunong pala si Kuya ng mga ganong mura sa English. Isang beses pa at si Bambhi na teacher at kaibigan naming mga Thoughtskoto ay nagsend na view ko daw siya ng hubo’t hubad sa webcam niya. Sa sobrang hinhin at pagkaconservative niya, ayun at 33 na wala pa ring asawa, tapos ganun? Si Donna na nasa Hawaii nagsend na pwede ko daw ba siya padalhan ng load ng Smart Roaming, kahit scratch ko na at pin # na lang ibigay ko sa YM. Si Donna, na nag-aaral ng Hawaii, hihingi ng pangload sa akin? Lahat ng sagot ko, SPAMMER, LOKOHIN MONG LELONG MO!

I have a previous entry about this before...here

and

another about chat here

It’s great that we have the wonderful means to communicate and to reach out, but there are some who take advantage of it so be careful with your password. Don’t just trust anyone or any message, especially if it’s from email or chat.
