On Piracy

"Ahoy there! You land-lovers er wondering why I'm a pirate I reckon?!"


Well I'm a pirate for a very simple reason: I use pirated software. I know, I know... "Very bad Edgar you are so evil! You are causing the impedance of growth and innovations because you're stealing and all..."

I know that piracy is bad but what can I do? I'm addicted to it. It's like seeing a treasure chest right in front of me, and by instinct I grab the treasure chest and keep it to myself.

But you just have to be amazed by the way people are resourceful enough to generate keygens (that's key generators in short) or create programs to get through password/serial number impregnated softwares.

I'm actually downloading a torrent right now that contains Final Fantasy VII for the PC and at the same time downloading a rapidshare file: Silent Hill 4: The Room. These are all RPG's (Role Playing Games) mind you, my type of computer games where I play the role of a character and be engulfed in the story and such. My reason for piracy is one it's cheap and I'm able to get downloads that are very rare and hard to find like Final Fantasy VII. There are a lot of pirated Cd's being sold in broad daylight in the Philippines in shops that are legal mind you but I prefer to download because again it's cheaper (I'm so cheap I'm sorry).

But with piracy comes great consequences. Although it's amazing that you can download stuff for free you are posing yourself to great danger like having your PC infested by viruses, adwares, and the worst destroys your PC. I've heard a rumor that once Microsoft finds out that your PC is counterfeit they can easily fry or overload your system to the point that it can be salvageable. Pretty scary huh? Not to mention the potential lawsuits that you will get if they gather enough evidence to prove that you tamper with their software or such.

Ok fine, I'll stop my downloads. This stress is not worth it. Plus it takes so long for my download to finish because the free version of Rapidshare restricts the download speed... but there is a way to pirate a premium Rapidshare account. But again bad idea...

Hmm... being good sucks... hehehe...

Let Me Love You Tonight - Ryan Cayabyab Singers

I just love this song! I just couldn't help it! I just want to share it to everyone! The melody is very addicting and even if I'm not in love I feel the romance and all that lovey dovey stuff. Ryan Cayabyab a celebrated musician in the Philippines has produced many great talents but never before has he formed a group that carried his own name. But judging the song he has indeed created a dream team: the Ryan Cayabyab Singers

Here's the lyrics:

LET ME LOVE YOU TONIGHT
by the Ryan Cayabyab Singers

Never thought I’d ever get the chance
To be so close to you like in a dance
I only watch you from afar
Moving like a distant star
So far away, away from me!

* If I could reach you…
If I could touch you…
Would you please let your light
Illuminate this dark lonely life

And let me hold you in my arms tonight
Feel your body close to mine tonight
Let me kiss you let me hug you tight
Until we see the morning light
And let me hold you in my arms tonight
Fell your body close to mine tonight
And let me hold you in my arms tonight
And let me love you tonight (repeat *)

I never thought I’d ever get the chance
To be so close to you like in a dance

And let me hold you in my arms tonight
Feel your body close to mine tonight
Let me kiss you let me hug you tight
Until we see the morning light
And let me hold you in my arms tonight
Fell your body close to mine tonight
And let me hold you in my arms tonight
And let me love you tonight!

Online Casino & Gambling

Gambling is an inevitable experience; it is part of our human nature. We always have to take risks to earn or acquire something more just like in love, work, and daily living. Some people gamble not just for the hope of earning money but rather it’s more of the thrill of the game. The adrenaline rush is amazing as you sit in your chair anticipating for a win. And of course, winning is great no doubt about it.

So talking about gambling, we see almost 3000 online casinos appearing in pop-ups or ads. Of course by instinct we would naturally click them and play right? But more experienced players would then think of the reliability and genuineness of a certain casino online. We also have to think of the web design, ease of use, and most important of all is the game structure and pay-out.

But with around 3000 online casinos how do we find something that really suit our preferences? There is one simple solution! With Pro360, an online casino review site, you don’t have to worry about anything and start your gambling experience!

I Passed My Exams!

I'm quite happy that I got through my exams and passed both my nursing lecture and related learning experience final exams. I'm quite confident that I will also pass in the final grade (well I'm still hoping at least). My quizzes aren't that good but my term exams are quite ok.

On the other hand, my block mates and I were able to pass our grand case study/presentation of a 47 year old male with acute coronary syndrome and pulmonary embolism likely with hypercoagulable state secondary to polycythemia vera. Our grand case presentation may have a lot of corrections and errors but it was quite amazing that we even passed.

In nursing research my group's thesis proposal of "Factors that Influence the Adherence of Delivery Room Nurses to Sterile Technique in Cagayan de Oro" has been accepted even if there were also errors and corrections starting from the cover page to the last page.

But you know what's ironic? I may have passed my major nursing subjects but I have doubts if I passed English. Oh my gosh! Imagine what were discussing in English! Art and it's history! The exam is harder than our medical-surgical nursing exam, imagine that! Oh I just hate history. Like what use do we have for knowledge about art and sculptures in the medical field? Is it needed so that we could have something to talk about with our patients who are inclined to art?

Anyhow I really thank God for aiding me in passing my exams! Like I didn't study for our exams and I still passed! I am really so happy!

At last! No more Medical-Surgical Nursing! Yehey! Welcome Summer 2008!
