“I can’t believe you’re still clicking that!”

Either we’re just too curious or we’re not really paying attention. Facebook was not created yesterday… and so were those malicious links and applications that always appear in your news feed. I can’t believe people are still clicking on those links! No matter who, or how many people post a warning not to click those [...]

What’s next for The Struggling Blogger?

This is what I was afraid of – to accomplish what I wish to accomplish… and then, become bored. I was able to conquer my stage fright and talked about writer’s block in iBlog7, I was finally able to publish my poetry book, and I even had a grand book launching to boot. Now, I’m [...]

The night I was living my dream

It used to be just but a dream… a wishful thinking… something that I never really thought would happen… not by a long-shot! But fate knows better. And what was but a dream became real… and I was able to see it… to be it. I was able to live my dream. I had my [...]

I don’t mind you smoking… but please, don’t exhale

My apologies to my smoking friends. Doesn’t it pissed you off that you even have to apologize to them? Unfortunately, that seems to be the rule – smokers have more rights than non-smokers.

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 [...]

43… and still dreaming…

I could be a late bloomer. Actually I AM A LATE BLOOMER! I started uttering a silent mantra in 2009 – to get out of my comfort zone, to do crazy stuff, to dream bigger… and I did. One by one, things took shape… things started happening… some by coincidences, some by pure luck, and [...]

Today, I swear I’m not doing anything

Because it’s my birthday! That is why today, I’m gonna lay back… stretch my feet, maybe raise them up on the couch… I believe, I deserve this. Got too much on my plate as of late, and believe me, the toll it’s taken on my sanity… or whatever left of it, is unimaginable! So now, [...]

I want a laptop for my birthday!

I signed up recently to AyosDito.ph because I was hoping I could buy myself something for my birthday. Actually, I was really hoping that on my birthday this year, I could finally do one of the long-outstanding items in my to-do list, and that is –  “buy laptop.” Yes, I was really looking forward to [...]
