If I write, will you read? If I beg, will you feed?

What a year 2011 was!

Oh yes! What a year 2011 was indeed! In 2010, I started to step an inch away from my comfort zone, and I honestly didn’t think that 2011 would get me even farther from it. For starters, I was able to stand in front of people, yay! Bloggers, even. In April, I delivered a talk [...]

My Life is Nothing Out of The Ordinary

Honestly, I think my life is just as ordinary as any Juan dela Cruz out there. There is nothing extra-ordinary in it. True, I have struggles. I’ve won some, lost most of them, and there are many times I can’t even make heads or tails. But that’s just how it is — life. And all [...]

This could be my last post…

At least for quite a while… or before I get enough funds to pay for my internet connection bills. Of course, I could also do it on internet cafe’s, but I am really wary about that. It’s not safe to access accounts on i-cafe’s. I do not even like opening my facebook on those places. [...]

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 [...]

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 need a “launch” break

To launch or not to launch? That is the question. Obviously, my choice definitely is TO launch. However, it is not that easy, really. Or is it? Okay, so I dreamed. I worked. I nurtured the dream, and now it is a reality. The book, REFLECTION, is real, even though I had to pinch myself [...]
