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. [...]

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 [...]

And finally, I am able to complete my list for the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs of 2010, and am proud to post my choices here. With the deadline I believe still in August, I think my post is just in time. And maybe, those who have incomplete list may find this list useful to [...]

I must be really getting rusty, or just too slow on the draw lately. I can’t believe that after 4 weeks (or is it 5?), I still haven’t made a post for my Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs of 2010 when I was one of those who made an early post about it, after Janette [...]

Oh, yes! It’s another writing contest, and unlike the first one which requires traveling experience, I can join this one… AND SO CAN YOU! So here’s the detail of this writing contest… We all have our personal icons. People who have a special influence on us, people who inspired us, awakened us, shook us… in [...]

I saw on today’s Travel and Tourism section of the Philippine Star newspaper. The first thing that caught my attention were the words “380-words story writing contest.” With the intention of joining, I went on to read the rest of the article… only to find out that it is not for me.
