...neither an ice cream or a cocktail drink as one might initially think, "floating island" was how the windtalkers from WWII referred to the Philippines, an archipelago strategically located in Southeast Asia...here I intend to think aloud and express my views, not only on people, places & events, but just about anything seen and heard from within and beyond my beloved "floating island", while attempting to find some significant human experiences out of them...

In support of TheSassyLawyer’s call…

plagiarism sucks, ergo, I’m posting this alarming email I received from sassy (well, I actually wanted to post a link but couldn’t get it right TSK) so here goes her entire message…

Subject: Support the fight against plagiarism on the net

I came across kuro.ph via Google. I was shocked to find that many of my blog entries had been plagiarized and posted there. The "bopis" recipe in
http://tinyurl.com/fv29q was copied, word for word, from my food blog http://tinyurl.com/hwhvz The Board Master who calls himself "Fireman" is a plagiarist. Princeedward is also a plagiarist. The pork satay and pinaupong manok recipes, including the photos, were also copied from http://cooking.houseonahill.net. I
am demanding for the removal of Fireman and Princeedward from the Kuro.ph forums and all their postings deleted. I have posted the above in the kuro.ph forums. But it will help if I can have your support. Whatever form of support will be appreciated, whether blog entries or otherwise. If you know of any other blog entries that have been plagiarized, please post an entry about it in your blog or in PinoyBlog. Let us mobilize our community in the fight against plagiarism on the internet.


Thank you.


I hope the site owners of kuro.com would ban those two from their forums…bad bad practice methinks, to simply let them get away with it just because they’re moderators in the said site…removing the entries in question wouldn’t be enough…dapat sa mga yan sa precinto na lang magpaliwanag! - w
