A re-post from the old struggling blog.
Writing… Just for the heck of it!
What a title! Did it catch your attention? I bet it did! If not, why did you reach this far? Honestly, it’s hard to start a topic especially when you don’t really have any idea in mind of what to write about. You [...]

No, I don’t have superpowers. I cannot leap over tall buildings nor run faster than a train. I don’t have metal armors, laser vision eyes, magic potion, a powerful ring, telekinetic powers, or super speed. But even without these superhuman abilities, it doesn’t mean there’s nothing I can do to help.
There is something I can [...]

What would make The Struggling Blogger happy?
Well, if you can deliver her to my doorstep, that’s a good start. But that would be impossible, right? And it’s not really the topic of this post. Admit it though, it got your attention.
So since you’re already “captured” why don’t you sit down, relax, and let’s continue discussing [...]

Yes, The Struggling Blogger is a personal blog.
Of course, you knew that. But guess what, I don’t. Well, at least not until recently.
When I started this blog, I was really hoping that I could ride on the blogging craze of “earning money online,” so I thought it was a blog about online opportunities. But just [...]

As I was about to wrap up my guest posting marathon, I had an even crazier idea – that was to challenge myself in poetry. So I made an announcement in my Facebook profile, inviting all my friends to “Challenge me to poetry.”
I asked them to challenge me by giving me a word, phrase or [...]

Because I said I will bury myself and immersed myself with words, verses and rhetoric, and my blogs seem to be not enough for me for the “burying process,” I had a crazy idea of guest posting in as many blogs as I can, given a specific period of time.
So I asked some of my [...]

At the start of 2009, I made a very bold statement when I included in my goals and plans for the year that I would receive a ‘real world’ blogging award. It was a shot in the dark. I do not know of any blogging awards, but I knew that with a big community such [...]

It was not only once that I was asked, “What’s your secret?” I always get that when people get to know the number of blogs I have and the frequency of my blogging. Curious folks.
I always brush it off by saying that I really do not have any secret and in fact, I do not [...]

Nothing personal against Twitter, but I seem to enjoy Facebook more lately and have made myself scarce in Twitterville. But I still drop by every now and then, I still remember dropping one-liners there before.
Facebook or FB, however, is just perfect for me. Aside from being reunited with friends and classmates from way back in [...]

When does one conform to what the norms dictate? And when does he need to stand up for what he believes in?
John Keating, the character played by Robin Williams in the movie Dead Poets Society, teaches his students in an unorthodox manner. Inspiring them to go after what their heart desire, even if it is [...]
