A Woman Remembers: Filipino Blog of the Week 197

A Woman Remembers is Filipino Blog for Week 197.

After our family's early summer vacation at Batangas and after winning as Mommy Blogger at Kidsandbabies, I am so glad to be given another award. This time the prestigious Filipino Blog of the Week award came from The Composed Gentleman.

I did not have much time to campaign and seek help from friends, still, I'm thankful for this award. Glad that there are people who wishes me well and voted for me silently.

Now, I am grabbing the winners logo and post this proudly on my sidebar!

Cheers to all Filipino Bloggers!

These blog awards - from The Composed Gentleman and Kidsandbabies - came when I was too busy to update my blog and visit my favorite blogs around the blogosphere. I guess these would serve as my inspiration to continue and keep on blogging.

Lovely Blog Award for A Woman Remembers

I've seen different blog awards being given and passed around the blogosphere. I have never realized how good it would it feel to receive a blog award until I received one from a mommy blogger, Crystal. Her blog site is really worth visiting! This is my indeed my first blog award and really appreciate this. I am deeply honored.

Lovely Blog Award Rules:
1) Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and his or her blog link.
2) Pass the award to 15 other blogs that you’ve newly discovered. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

I've seen a lot of blogs that are really lovely and I could have passed this on to every blog that I had visited, but I have to stick to the blog rules. So now I am passing this badge to my list of newly discovered blogs... and I'll be adding them in my blog links too!

It was May 11 when I received this blog award, and I should have posted this as soon as possible. Whew, I really need more time!

Plagiarism in the Blogosphere

Plagiarism also exist even in the blogosphere, maybe even more. I decided to grab this tag when I happen to pass by Mom's Place blog; followed where she got the tag and learned more about a situation regarding plagiarism on Basic Bloganomics of David Funk. These are the situations where I couldn't help but feel upset. I wonder why some people make use of another persons post or article and claim that it was theirs; more so, get paid and take credit for having it published. It is just right to give credit where it is due and let other people know the source of the article or material.

I also had my share of these experiences as well, with my words being copied and imitated. Never did I gave much thought to it, instead I have chosen to let it pass and think that I had just been an inspiration. Just recently, I've read an issue of a fellow mom who had a plagiarism issue with one of the magazine, Moms and Kids. It's the same magazine issue where my blog post got published too. Plagiarism is indeed a big issue!

What is Plagiarism?

According to Dictionary , Plagiarism is the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one’s own original work.

To all Bloggers who exert effort to create noteworthy entries and who continue to maintain a Blog which is a reflection of who she / he is, ” Good job! ”
To those who have the desire to Blog but are merely scraping contents from other people‘ s materials, ”Whether you are monetizing your site to help you with your basic needs or to satisfy some of your wants, do it the proper way. Stop making money out of someone else’s work. Otherwise, you are nothing but a common thief! ”

Thank you!

Feel free to grab this tag and post this in your blog site as well.
