Groupmates from Hell

Teachers usually group students in order to promote camaraderie and cooperation among them. But sometimes, groupwork may become a traumatic experience.
Working in a group allows students to collaborate so that achieving a certain goal would become a bit less of a drag. This is true if the members respect the ideas and work of each other and are enthusiastic to participate in the group's activities.
However, there are people who tend to drown the whole group, plummeting it into the abyss of failure. Meet the groupmates from hell. Although they're part of the group, they prefer to be alone and invisible. They don't cooperate, and they just wait for someone in the group to salvage what's left of the group's dignity, as if they don't have dignity themselves. They are so lazy and doesn't care what will hapen to the group. They are parasites. People like these don't have the initiative to help. They let the hardworking member(s) perform all the tasks. The hardworking member might be risking his/her life to do the job, while the lazy ones just sit there and watch -- with their blank thoughts.
What's the point of having a group if just one person performs everything?
What's the use of the others? Moral support? -- The hell!!!
People like these make life really hard for those who are actually putting so much effort into the work.
And what's worse? The uncooperative members receive an equal credit with those who really worked hard.
They should be ashamed.
It is so unfair.
I'm sending these members back to hell.

PasaLoad versus Share-a-Load

I have been a Globe Prepaid user for almost six years now. And take note, I'm still using the same number ever since. Before that, I was a loyal Smart user, but my family bought new cellphones that were sim-locked to Globe, so I had to make the change from Smart to Globe in order to keep-up with myds who used Smart, and I will not be able to text them more frequently coz I'm now on another network. The change was hard, but it was all worth it.
Globe and Smart share very similar features with regards to their prepaid services. Probably, the best feature that each of these networks have devised is the PasaLoad or Share-a-Load. As all of you have known, this service allows you to give a part of your current prepaid load credit to another prepaid account within the same network. So, your load doesn't just get stuck on your own account, duh!...
Smart, the convoluted and strict type that they are, allows you to give a prepaid credit only once. In other words, although you could simultaneously divide and give your current prepaid load to several other accounts in order for them to consume it, the recipients of that load will not be able to forward the load that they received to another account. Thus, the PasaLoad recipients will be forced to consume all the prepaid load that you gave them. Technically, the prepaid load has been stuck to their account forever. In short, if someone gave it to you, you cannot give it to somebody else. Just plain tragic!
However, Globe provides more convenience. Aside from being able to concurrently divide and give your current prepaid load to several other accounts in order for others to consume it, the recipients of thate it, the recipients of that load will are also able to divide and forward the load that they received to other accounts as if the load that they received was originally theirs. Thus, the gift that they received can also be given to others. Hahaha!
But, what's my point here? It's the length of time the prepaid load is still valid. In Smart, if you accidentally gave a large amount of prepaid to someone, that person will be burdened to use-up all that load. What if the person you gave it to is not a frequent cellphone user, then the load might get expired eventually. On the contrary, since Globe allows you to forward the same prepaid load over and over again, you could actually extend the life of that load. Hehe.. Simply amazing. (Oops! That's Smart's tagline.) Moreover, if the person you forwarded the load to is not a frequent cellphone user, he can re-forward the load to someone who can use of it. Waaah!!!
Furthermore, Smart's PasaLoad has fixed load denominations that can be passed, like 2, 5, 10, 15, and 20. But in Globe, any amount will do starting from 1 peso. In other words, Share-a-Load enables you to give 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc... whatever you like. It's your choice.
I love Globe because of this.
Go Team Blue!!!

(PS: But I presently have another phone that has a Smart SIM in it -- just to accommodate all the unfortunate Smart users. :D Hehe... Peace out!!!)

I first received this message from a friend, but with much doubt, I immediately thought that it was another of those YM spam, which are probably induced by a virus. I remember those viruses that dwell inside your computer and then send weird messages to your contacts. Oohh!... Just nasty!... The messages are usually short and end with a URL of a site that. The people are deceived to enter the site, but once they click and load the site, voila! the virus gets installed to the receiver's computer.
The older viruses that did this usually send short and stupid messages. The messages looked so crappy that you could immediately discern that it's not from your friend. However, this new diet pill spam is longer and well scripted. If you are not familiar with these type of viruses and if you don't consider the actual manner with which your friend creates messages, you'll get tricked right away.
I onced followed the link to one of these messages (but I used Linux -- the virus-free operating system... haha) just to see if the sites provided are real. And indeed they are.
If the sites are real and the products that they are promoting are legal, why would they annoy people with such messages? Their promotion system behaves like a virus, and personally, any site that does should not be trusted. I wouldn't buy a single crappy pill from these sites since the promotion scheme that they have is so disrespecful. Let us not support these sites and products that go through extreme measures just to gain exposure. They can bombard me with all those messages, but it's also easy to ignore and delete them.
Die on your diet pills you morons!!!

Pacquiao's 2 Rounds Will Run for a Week

Ricky Hatton got his ass kicked during his fight with Manny Pacquiao last Sunday. After a dreadful beating that immediately knocked him out on the second round, you might expect Hatton to be in a coma or something. Hahaha!
Before that fight, Pacquiao was already popular, but this might multiplied that popularity ten-fold. That really placed Pacquaio in the limelight of boxing. Some boxing analysts say that he is the greatest boxer ever -- even better that Muhammad Ali. What do you think?
Anyway, the only nosebleeding that Pacquaio had was during the post-fight interview. Hehehe... At least he tries his best. Watch out for his spontaneous "You know..." and "I mean...".
Manny, you can do it! Hahaha... (But don't you ever venture into politics or showbiz.)
