iBlog8: The 8th Philippine Blogging Summit

This is a rather late post for the iBlog8, actually. Because I was really “pre-occupied” these past few days, I was not able to respond when Janette made a call for speakers and topics for iBlog8 last month. I was able to participate as one of the speakers in iBlog7 where I delivered a talk [...]

This could be my last post…

At least for quite a while… or before I get enough funds to pay for my internet connection bills. Of course, I could also do it on internet cafe’s, but I am really wary about that. It’s not safe to access accounts on i-cafe’s. I do not even like opening my facebook on those places. [...]

My Top 10 Emerging Influential Blog for 2011

I was late. I was preoccupied with the publishing of my book, with my book launching, marketing my book, etc., that I totally forgot about the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2011 writing project.

REFLECTION Book Launching-apprehensions and gratitude

With just a week away from the book launching, I really do not know what to do right now. What to feel, how to act, how to prepare… I don’t know anything! Right now, everything seems vague, all of a sudden. This feeling is quite similar to what I was feeling days before my iBlog7 [...]

Has Friendster given up?

Has Friendster given up? This is the impression I got when I received my copy of the email from the social network. It says they are deleting most of the data that were uploaded on the site during the pre-Facebook era – photos, blogs, etc. Friendster would only be leaving basic profile information, which I [...]

Helping my kids get through a hassle-free teenage years

I remember when I was still a teenager, there were pimples all over my face! I was more like “pimples with a face.” I cannot remember how I got rid of them pimples then but I am sure glad it was over, although there were “traces of what used to be until now.” Maybe if [...]

REFLECTION… a dream come true

I have but one goal for 2011 as far as writing and blogging is concerned – to get my own book published. It was in 2009 when I got a taste of how it was to be part of a printed book via Inspirational Thoughts and Stories from Blogger All Over the World, and again, [...]

Batuin: First Kapampangan Rock Musical – The Audition

Yesterday, I attended the audition for Batuin, the first Kapampangan rock musical play. Oh no, I did not go there to audition. I went to there to observe the proceedings and eventually write about it and help them promote the play. An advocate of the Kapampangan language as of late, I try to attend as [...]
