Bailing out is not an option! I have to face this. I volunteered for it and nobody, and I mean NOBODY! – forced me to do it. Well, almost nobody, except for that stupid voice inside my head who’s been pushing me since last year, to do things that aren’t really within my comfort zone… [...]
They say, one good way to cure an addiction is via new addiction – and Facebook did just that! Facebook was able to accomplished what Friendster, Hi5, Multiply, TAGGED, Plurk and Twitter was not able to accomplish – to take me away from blogging… AND HOW! Not surprising really because FB was such an active [...]

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, [...]

This is a photo of the podium in iBlog6 I’ve taken last year. I posted this, along with other pictures of the event, in my photoblog… and my caption for this photo was, “Someday, I could be behind this box.” And I was just trying to be witty in my photo captions then… it was [...]

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 [...]

I always look forward to iBlog events! iBlog5 was my first major blogging event attended and I really had a great time that I’m always anticipating this annual blogging summit, and iBlog6 didn’t fail me either.

“What’s your field of discipline?” I was asked by the girl at the registration, and I reluctantly replied, “Writing?” She looked at me like I didn’t make sense at all, paused for a while, and finally wrote “Literary” under my name on the nameplate. It was the first ever gathering of Kapampangan artists held on [...]

I am late I know. Still it’s barely a week into the new year, so I guess it’s not really too late to make goals… not resolutions. For 2011, I only have one goal — that is to get my book published. MY OWN BOOK. Not just a compilation of contributions from different writers, but [...]
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 [...]

What a year 2010 was! Honestly, 2010 isn’t my best year. And for a very personal reason, it successfully included itself in the list of my least favorite year. But it doesn’t mean the year didn’t come with its own punch. Many things happened this year. At the start of the year, I was elected [...]
