As I was about to wrap up my guest posting marathon, I had an even crazier idea – that was to challenge myself in poetry. So I made an announcement in my Facebook profile, inviting all my friends to “Challenge me to poetry.”
I asked them to challenge me by giving me a word, phrase or [...]

Because I said I will bury myself and immersed myself with words, verses and rhetoric, and my blogs seem to be not enough for me for the “burying process,” I had a crazy idea of guest posting in as many blogs as I can, given a specific period of time.
So I asked some of my [...]

I first mentioned about the WordCamp Philippines 2010 when I posted the different blogging events for 2010 that I knew of. I also mentioned how I really would like to attend this event.
Guess what, it almost missed me. Good thing, I followed a post by Jonel Uy which eventually led me to the registration page [...]

It was not only once that I was asked, “What’s your secret?” I always get that when people get to know the number of blogs I have and the frequency of my blogging. Curious folks.
I always brush it off by saying that I really do not have any secret and in fact, I do not [...]

Nothing personal against Twitter, but I seem to enjoy Facebook more lately and have made myself scarce in Twitterville. But I still drop by every now and then, I still remember dropping one-liners there before.
Facebook or FB, however, is just perfect for me. Aside from being reunited with friends and classmates from way back in [...]

When does one conform to what the norms dictate? And when does he need to stand up for what he believes in?
John Keating, the character played by Robin Williams in the movie Dead Poets Society, teaches his students in an unorthodox manner. Inspiring them to go after what their heart desire, even if it is [...]

When I am not spewing rants and gibberish thoughts on my blogs, or when I am not killing anyone in my short stories, waxing some poetic woes, shooting videos, or doing some doodles, I can be found strumming on the guitar, singing my blues away.
And most of the time, what I played on my guitar [...]

Have already posted this video before, but it was raw. So I went back to it, still with Vince’s inspiring talk on iBlog6 in mind, and edited it.
It was basically the same video though, I just added a background music to mask the not-too-nice sound that were heard on the background haha!
And this is the [...]

I like to express myself through different medium – through poems, stories, pictures, music, cartwheel… err, scratch that last one. I’m a pound heavier to do cartwheel.
But there was a time that I used to draw too. I’m not really good at it, but I draw. My drawings were not ones that I can really [...]

It’s really a bummer when your birthday comes and you’re out of dough. No, I don’t really celebrate my birthday, but I do want to treat my kids, after all, Iron Man 2 is still on. But I guess it’s not happening.
Anyway, because it’s my birthday, I thought of making a special birthday post.
What would [...]
