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 [...]

My kids and I went to La Pieta today at 5:00 a.m. to visit my wife, like we always do during her birthday. Upon arriving at the cemetery at around 5:30 a.m., we were surprised by what we found! My wife’s tomb marker was removed and the soil underneath it was dug! It is really [...]

I know I don’t have the voice of Arnel Pineda, the charm of Charice Pempengco, nor even the wit and appeal of Roadfill and Moymoy Palaboy. So why the hell am I singing on YouTube?! Two things – I can and I want to. Seriously now, I sing on YouTube not to showcase the talent [...]

Honestly, I am not sure if he would be proud or even accept that title now, but I am using it just because I am proud to have such a son! I am talking about my son, Ralph Emerson, who is celebrating his 18th birthday today September 14. And as he enters the legal age, [...]

Yes, The Struggling Blogger is a personal blog. Of course, you knew that. But guess what, I don’t. Well, at least not until recently. When I started this blog, I was really hoping that I could ride on the blogging craze of “earning money online,” so I thought it was a blog about online opportunities. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

At the start of 2009, I made a very bold statement when I included in my goals and plans for the year that I would receive a ‘real world’ blogging award. It was a shot in the dark. I do not know of any blogging awards, but I knew that with a big community such [...]

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 [...]

“Yadayada! Ole-ole-oleo!“ Doesn’t really make amy sense, does it? Well, because it was really meant NOT to make any sense, and most part of this post, even. You know that feeling when you have nothing to say? Or you have so much to say, and yet you don’t know how to say it? It usually [...]
