    These are people on boats, popularly known as “sea gypsies. We often see them on piers or ports. They sail near arriving or departing roll-on-roll-off ships or other sea vessels transporting passengers from one […]

    • Just hoping that the “other member here” will not use my photos for his/her blogs. These are taken in the Philippines and should not be used by other people without my permission!

    • Hahahaha , that was I have said to my post in group forum which stated: I hope my photo will not be stilen, then after few seconds, I saw my face floating in the blog screen, grrrr. How I like to remove both eyes of the thief and all the thieves.Bad karma to those who do wrong against our will. They should have sent us a private message to ask permission if allow them to use our own personal photo, “grabe naman ka bobo”. They had done grave misconduct. It must not be toleated, but support cannot be found.

      In relation to your blig, I remember when Dennis was in Cagayan de Oro, I brought him to port to see our wide ocean and coastal views only to see many sea beggars. Dennis loved to throw them all his pennies almost 300 pesos and many came nearer begging to throw more hehehehe. They have big body structures, Their problem is their laziness and tolerarnce of their poor earnings, very “tamad.” not worth of a help. I did not stop Dennis for he liked to see children happy with some vents thrown to sea.They are good divers.Dennis was also a deep sea diver when he was young and staying with his mom in Australia.

      • Thanks @Cely for your concern on stolen photos.The member, Zasa, asked me to forgive her/him.She said she’s sorry for what she had done. I hope she learned that it is not right to just use other person’s photos without permission. Just like you, I will permit her to use it if she asked for my approval, out of courtesy!

        You are right, the Department of Social Welfare and other government agencies had tried to “reach out” to the sea gypsies to give them other sources of livelihood instead of begging on the seas. I don’t know, maybe they liked that way of life!

    • Where is this place my friend where there are sea gypsies.

      I think it is a demeaning way to give to the poor people. For just those coins, they will risk their lives diving into the sea and even under the ships, where indeed they can die when they get entangled over a plank or string or whatever that can make them suffocate.

      The government should really ban this kind of coin giving. It’s a demeaning way for the people to earn some money.

    @Dina, yes, she might thought that it was uploaded there at the Media Library so anyone can use it. Removing that Media Library can be the best solution, as suggested by @Michelle.

    Thanks, @Mahesh, if that feature about friends will slow down the site, and if we will not earn from it, it is better not to have it at all.

    @Cely, the Admin/Support should really do something about these issues of plagiarism.It is one of the reasons why sometimes I do not want to submit my “favorite” photos or the ones which can qualify for a photo contest (based on my criteria of it!).

    I think a lot of those features may slow the site down. Because it runs as a plugin in WordPress. So more such features as expected above may slow the site down. And this may even in turn affect the site. So I don’t think it’s worth having such features. If these features were to be adding any revenue, I won’t mind. But at this point of time, it…[Read more]

    I saw it too, just now. I was surprised at how near they are at the blog board. So it means in a little while after @acelawrites submitted the post, Zaza used her photo.

    Or it could be that she is thinking that acelawrites doesn’t own it but just googled for it . ha ha ha

    I wasn’t here for the past week so I didn’t notice those plagiarized posts.

    So it was reported already yet that user is still in the most liked posts. ha ha ha

    I hope Admin will already delete her account. She is a plagiarizer not only here buy in ML. She’s a shame.

    If I were her, I would apologize publicly and delete my account.

    @cely I think it is becoming rampant here the photo stealing.

    You see we have the media library where what we posts are there for everyone to see. So they might be thinking that they can freely use it.

    I also experienced having a photo of mine I posted together with my post , stolen or used by a member here. I was so surprised when I scrolled…[Read more]

    Maybe they are thinking that since it’s in the media library they can freely use it. Though if there is a label on it for @acelawrites ‘ name, then obviously they shouldn’t use it.

    Actually, some of my pictures that I posted for my posts here were also used by two of the members here. But I cannot complain because it is there in the media…[Read more]

    My photo of a Fidget Cube

    He said it is used by people to lessen boredom, stress, or […]

    • We do not have it at home for there are kids that just like to play them.I like ice cubes to an immediate need during hot days.

      By the way, your photo image is stolen. There are many cracked minded writers here. I write a post on this to wake up the stealer. The blogs she submitted not hers. I saw that blog long ago by other writer here, I forgot the name of the real owner.

    • I haven’t seen that yet. So it’s a fidget cube. I think I don’t need that. I actually have my hands full whenever I have my free time.

      It’s either I am typing here to comment or typing a post to submit.

      Honestly, I wonder when one says she’s bored. I never get bored. In fact, I lack the time to do things that I have to do.

      But I also like to see that fidget cube. I suppose my friend that indeed it has its health benefits as in our hands there are points where we can just press and have our headache gone, for example.

      • My son said it can help those with AD/HD or attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or people who get bored fast. I know you are too busy with your job, and not time to fidget! ha ha ha! That’s good. But it has some nice effects too, seems like it calm the nerves when you are tensed.

    • I bought one for my daughter who has a little anxiety. We have noticed its primarily when she is playing one of the sports she enjoys. though she loves to play, it took almost the entire basketball season before I noticed her legs stopped shacking when coach would put her in to play. We recently bought The Fidget Cube. She used it for a couple days and know it is just sitting in a basket collecting dust. Much like the several other gadgets,toys etc.,Corporate
      America convincing us all are problems will be solved if we just buy this. Time after Time we fall for the same thing. When all we need to do is stop stressing ourselves out trying to keep up with the latest trend, or cell phone,(even though you have only had your recent phone for less then year). Turn off the commercials america, stop over spending ans take a nice walk in the woods. I bet you wouldn’t Fidget then.

    Indeed, writing a blog might seem easy. Yet writing something with our mind and heart and with planning is quite an effort.

    And one does wants to redeem the fruits of one’s labour.

    Stealing blogs and pics is totally unacceptable. One can use another’s work with permission as I occasionally did on Wikinut and bubblews, and with full credits.
