Friendster, Multiply, MySpace, Hi5, Facebook, Twitter, etc. – name it, we’ve all been there, these so-called Social Media. How many friends/connections do you have in them? How many are actually talking to you? If you’re like me, I guess it’s just a (very) small percentage. Some people, after adding you, or accepting your request, wouldn’t [...]

I am excited that Mr. Peanut, one of my childhood icons (yes, I’m shallow like that), will get a facelift… and even a voice. The new Mr. Peanut image with a voice is a big leap from the old yellow peanut we used to see at the side of the Mr. Peanut cans. Yes, I [...]

The day is almost over, but I really would not let the 3rd of September just pass me by without writing even just a short post to celebrate Jan’s birthday.

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 [...]

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.
