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. I’m not really late, it’s just hat I was usually one of the earliest to submit the Top 10 list. [...]

Yes, I do believe that we deserve to win the Father’s Day photo contest that I joined. And you can help me make that claim a reality. Please go to the Century Hotel page and “Like” it, then go to our photo entry and “Like” it too. Sometimes, for some reason, our photo won’t load. [...]

My first official post for the year 2011 (not the previous one. I guess you know what type of post that is), is an entry to a contest by my friend Holly, a scavenger hunt contest. A scavenger hunt early in 2011?! Honestly I do not understand why it was called as such even after [...]

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 know I don’t have the voice of Arnel Pineda, the charm of Charice Pempengco, nor even the wit and appeal of Roadfill and Moymoy Palaboy. So why the hell am I singing on YouTube?! Two things – I can and I want to. Seriously now, I sing on YouTube not to showcase the talent [...]

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.

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 [...]
