Suicide: Is it trending now?

My God, I felt so sad after I heard today from the local newscast, 4 reported incident of suicides and the youngest who committed, was just a 9 year old kid. Grabe and reasons were he was being bullied and another was because the person was not  able to graduate from school. I remember kelan lang meron din ganitong incident sa parte ng visayas or mindanao and before that was the UP student who gained popularity and mileage through print and tv media. It also earned a lot of commentaries from the public sector and an outpouring of emotions from some group of students in PUP.

So ano na nga ba ang nangyayari? Was it really helpful na tila tulad ng kaso ng UP student na nabigyan na malaking publisidad at dahil dito ay umani ng batikos ang eskwelahan na tila sila ang sinisi sa pagpapatiwakal ng estudyante. Marapat nga ba na isisi ang pagkakamali sa pagkitil ng sariling buhay, bagaman ito ay isang malaking kasalanan sa Maykapal sapagkat ang ating buhay ay hiram lamang sa Poong Lumikha, sa lipunan na ating ginagalawan o sa ibang nilalang na sa tingin natin ay siyang nagbigay dahilan sa isang indibidwal upang tapusin na ang sariling buhay? Di nga ba sa halip na maging taimtim ang panalangin at pagluluksa ay tila ba nawalan ng privacy ang pamilya? Naging isang celebrated case ang suicide ng nasabing estudyante. Kabi-kabila ang interview ng mga magulang, kaibigan at maging ng guro sa school na kanyang pinapasukan. Lahat nga ba ng ito ay nakatulong upang maliwanagan ang isipan ng mamamayan lalo't higit ay ang mga taong may tinatawag na "suicidal tendencies". May naitulong ba upang maiwasan maulit ang ganitong kaganapan?

Pero bakit tila ba wala namang naging saysay sa mga taong may kaparihong pinagdaraanan. Di ko maiwasang magtanong sa aking isipan bakit may sumunod na estudyante na ang rason ng pagpapakamatay ay hindi nakagraduate sa eskwelahan? At ngayon may panibagong pagkitil ng sariling buhay at isa ay sa kaparehong kadahilanan ang hindi nakapagtapos sa pag-aaral. Ano na ang nangyari sa malaking isyu na pinag-usapan, sapat na lang ba na naging resulta ang pagbabago ng panuntunan ng isang eskwelahan, subalit ang tunay at mas malalim na problema sa mismong indibidwal ay tila nakakaligtaan? Magaling nga lang ba ang karamihan na makisawsaw sa isyu para pag-usapan at makisakay sa agos ng pambabatikos upang magmukhang may ipinaglalaban? Nasaan ang tunay na pagtulong sa nangangailangan.... ang personang pinanghihinaan na tumayo at lumaban sa hirap ng pang-araw-araw na pamumuhay? Ikaw isa ka ba na nakikisimpatiya lamang sa oras na may namatay at sinasamantala ang init ng usapan upang isulong ang pangsariling interest lamang? Ano nga ba ang nagagawa ng malawakang panunuligsa at paninisi sa ibang tao habang ang mismong akto ng pagpapatiwakal ay tila nagoglorify lamang?

Emulator for Xbox 360 and PS3

I have played a lot of games and i have some collection of game titles from the Atari machine to the Playstation console. But in the past few years i stopped playing console games since online games had became more popular. Besides i was already busy and just started then my computer shop business. I have always been fascinated with games, specially those that employ the latest graphics and technology. But lately i was getting bored with online games, specifically MMORPG being my favorite genre.  Doing the repetitive tasks of grinding, and completing quests somehow made me feel bored and i was doing the same thing over and over again for years.

This prompted me to try to look for something new and i thought i should try the newer consoles.  I wanted to play some game on the Xbox360 and the Playstation 3(PS3) consoles but it is quite expensive and it would not be practical for a single dad like me if i would buy both while on the other hand i won't be able to try the other console if i will buy just one. So emulator came to my mind. I'm sure i will be able to try games for both consoles and eventually i can decide which one i should buy after that.

I then search with google for any available emulator on the net. I found about 2 or 3 sites offering with their own version of emulators both for Xbox360 and PS3. Sad to say nothing really worked.

After i have downloaded Xbox360 Emulator 3.2.4 as well as the PS3  Emulator 1.9.4 and expanded the archive/compressed file, i tried to run the executable file. Xbox360 and PS3 emulator.
The programs seems to be working fine but immediately a notice for a new version appeared prompting me to either update or not. Well, there is nothing i can do since choosing either option would close the program. If i choose not to update, the program simply terminate, and when i choose to update i was directed to an archive site that requires something, like doing some offer/job before you are able to download the new version program.
I tried doing some of the offer but unfortunately even if there is nothing more to do or once the task has been completed, it was never acknowledged in the archive site that the offer/job was already done so i was not able to get the download. I was also wondering why there is such a newer version when the fact is i downloaded the emulator program right from the creator's site.
If there is in fact a new version, it should have been available right there or at least could have been mentioned right there and then. I smell something fishy about this. I ended up in a very frustrating situation of search, download, install, got error cycle. This was for both

So i tried the  Xbox360 Emulator 1.7.1 that i have downloaded. When i run the program it was seems ok too but an it gave me an error about not finding any bios. Xbox360 in their filenames, most file are obviously bios for the PS1 and PS2 console with SCH-....prefixes on their filenames.
Now bios is my problem, so i search again with my ever reliable Google search engine :). Eureka! i found one and i immediately downloaded and extracted. I place the bios on the same folder as instructed by the readme.text file of the emulator program. Now i got a corrupted bios warning and prompted me if i want to download a bios from their site. I said to myself ok, i think its the best thing to do since the bios would be coming from the same site where i downloaded the emulator program.
Whew! upon trying to download i was surprised to see that i was prompted with the   same option again to complete offers/job before getting the bios download. Grrr! I am already getting irritated by this procedure so i searched again for bios. I found one site and was able to download and extracted the files right away. To my dismay it never worked. I get the same corrupted bios error. I tried to scrutinize the file and folder and i found out that all the bios i have downloaded were already in the emulator package but in another folder and they are all the same. I have noticed too that except for the 3 bios file with



The last i tried was Xbox360 Emulator v2.0 but i no longer expect good result. I downloaded the program but it needs a password to extract the files. The url address is provided to get the password. As i expected the  download site requires an offer to complete before anyone can allegedly get the password. There is only one offer available so i tried and the task was to download VLC media player. After the download i installed the program yet the task was never completed and it state that if it does not automatically unlock try another offer. This is ridiculous, there is no other offer to try! 
I gave up thinking that maybe, just maybe there is no functional emulators yet for the consoles Xbox360 or PS3. I am also skeptical as to the purpose of the makers of these so called emulators. Why release the program package only to be prompted for a never heard update and then go to the process of doing like in FB, tweets and g+ for trying to download the supposed update or bios? I don't know if anyone was able to download though, but based on the many blog sites and forums that i have found, users were not able to make the download therefore no one was able to use the program. Many people kept on searching for bios and solution to error but even i haven't found one that really solves the problem. One was saying to try to remove all browsers and disable internet explorer but i did not bother to try since his bios are just the same as the one i downloaded and those that are already in the emulator package.


To conclude all the 4 emulators that i have downloaded were useless. It merely lure people to do offer for them and obviously it was a bunch of BS for their ads campaign and promotion. Don't even bother to download emulator for the consoles Xbox360 or PS3 for the time being. I'm not sure of the real intentions for the release of the said emulators but to be safe than regret later its better not to download these programs. If ever the authors/creator of these programs will read this blog i hope they can shed light on the error and download problems.

Last note:
I won't be giving any link to their sites and you can just google it if you wanna try at your own risk. I will highly appreciates if anyone can tell me a working emulators for the said consoles, just to prove that there is an existing functional, operational and truly free emulator.

Panawagan sa mga nag PTC diyan...

Isang panawagan ang ginawa ko just a few minutes ago in one PTC(Pay to click) site. I was really concerned about the proliferation of many scam ptc sites and i was doing some research about it for about half month already. I am already a victim of such scam in 3 sites out of the 7 sites that i have joined earlier and i found one site who are doing investigations on ptc sites. But i won't be talking about PTC per se in this blog, not for now. I just want to share ang aking naging panawagan and hoping that if ever someone  e maligaw dito blog site ko na nagnanais sumabak sa larangang ito or already started doing ptc e makapag bigay man lang ako ng kahit konting gabay sa pag- iingat gaya ng aking nabanggit sa aking panawagan.
So ito po ang nilalaman ng aking naging panawagan:


"Mabuhay po ang lahat ng pinoy na nagbabakasali na kumita sa PTC o alin pa mang puedeng pagkakitaan sa internet. Bago pa lamang po ako dito sa larangan ng PTC at patuloy ko pa rin na kinakapa at kinakabisado ang mga pasikot-sikot sa gawaing ito. Subalit sa mahigit na kahalating buwan na ginugol ko sa mga lugar na ganito marami na akong naranasan na mga pangloloko o pang gagantso. Bagaman at ganito ang karamihan sa kalakaran sa larangan na ito, ay minarapat ko na ipagpatuloy ang paghahanap ng masasabing lehitimo na PTC at sinasaliksik ko rin ang iba pang angulo tungkol dito.  Opo ako ay baguhan pa rin sa ganito subalit hindi sa iba pang tinatawag na home base job.

Ang panawagan ko po ay nararapat ang ibayong pag-iingat mapa-baguhan man o may kahabaan na ang karanasan. Isa sa napagtanto ko ay hindi basehan ang mga sinasabi at pinapakita na katibayan na pagkatanggap ng kabayaran sapagkat:

1. maraming paraan, at karamihan na rin sa aking natagpuan ang mga account ay madalas naman na sa kanilang alternatibong pag aari lamang.
2. maaaring nababayaran sa una, pangalawa, o maging sa mga sumunod na bayaran subalit ang hindi magarantiyahan ay kung kelan bigla na lang mawawala yuong lugar o bigla na lang titigil sa pagbabayad at itatakbo na ang inyong pinaghirapan.

Para sa pag-iingat ipinapayo ko na huwag agad-agad susubo sa pag gastos sa pagtaas ng antas ng pagiging kasapi, o sa paglalagak ng halaga sa pag-aakalang kikita kaagad ng malaki. Palagi po nating tandaan laging nasa huli ang pag sisisi at meron nga tayo kasabihan na "naghangad ng kagitna isang salop ang nawala".

Marami pa po tayong dapat isaisip bago pumasok sa isang maaaring patibong lamang kung kaya inuulit ko ang ibayong pag-iingat.

Ang hangad ko po sana ay makapagbigay ng kaunting gabay upang makaiwas sa maraming panloloko sa larangan ito.

Kung magkakaisa lang sana tayong mga pinoy na magtulungan sa lahat ng bagay ay mas marami tayong magagawang bagay at mas makakaiwas sa iba pang kapahamakan. Mas mabuti sana kung lahat tayo ay magkakakontakan, magkakausap at magkakilala rin sa personal upang sa ganitong larangan tayo mismo ay makakapagbigay suporta sa bawat isa sa atin.
Nais ko rin na ilagay sa blog ang ganitong panawagan.

Maraming salamat po at pagpalain po tayong lahat ng maykapal. Kung meron man nagnanais na kumontak sa akin, huwag po kayong mahihiya o mag aatubiling lumiham sa akin dito. Marami pa po na puede ninyong subukan kung hanapbuhay ang kailangan.

Kuya Jee or Jeerom:
jeeaureada.fv@gmail.com
jachatters.chatango.com (bago lang po ito)"

I may need more time to safely say na itong sinusubukan ko na mga site sa ngayon, bagaman at ito ay rekomendado na ng isang mapang-saliksik na site, ay minarapat ko na subukan ng kahit 1 o 2 buwan pa upang makita at mabigyan ng maingat na pagtatanya kung nararapat nga ba na irekomenda ang larangan na ito sa mas nakararaming kababayan nating pinoy.

Kung may nagnanais na subukan ito, mas makabubuti siguro na meron kayong ng tinatawag na upline, na kakilala ninyo ng sa ganon ay meron kahit papano na aagapay sa inyong pagsisimula. Ipinapayo ko rin na huwag mag-invest at subukan lamang ang libreng pamamaraan ng sa gayon, sa oras na biglang mawala ang site(na karaniwang ginagawa ng mga scammers), o kapag biglang tumigil ng pagbabayad at itinakbo na ang iyong pinaghirapan, kahit papaano ay mas maliit ika nga ang danyos o perwisyo na nagawa sa inyo.

Sa mga nakikita ninyo na ptc banner sa ibaba ng pahinang ito, kung mapansin ninyo isang araw na tinanggal ko alinman sa mga ito, nangangahulugan lamang na ito ay hindi nararapat pang ipagpatuloy(kung nasimulan mo man ito) o nararapat na iwasan ang site na iyon. Marami pong ibang lehitimong site para sa mga home base job, at sa lahat ng ito, hindi po napupulot lang ang salapi, kailangan pa rin po ang sipag at tyaga upang kumita ng kahit papaano ay disenteng halaga.

Sa huli, ibayong pag-iingat po ang paulit-ulit na aking ipapaalala sa inyo.
