Blogs - A modern day journal

2010-09-02T05:22:00.000-07:00

What is it about blogging that individuals nowadays find interesting? For me as a blogger the reason why I went into blogging is to be able to express my feelings and thoughts through writing. I remembered during my younger years I would write on my diary and write everything that happened in a day about running into my crush and how I blushed when he said "hi" or about the time that my two best friends had a fight and I had to be in between because if I favor one of them the other would be mad at me, stuff like those.

But these days, you don't write into your diary anymore you just broadcast it via net and you get readers to have a fill of your thoughts and/or your feelings and the best part is you get traffic that gives your blog credibility because the more readers you have the higher your PR gets it's not about evading your privacy anymore because you get to write anything you would like to talk about under the sun and nobody would criticize you for broadcasting it no matter how private, you get to have comments about stuff that you write about and mostly compliments for how cool your articles are that for me is the best part there is "COMPLIMENTS" it gives my ego a total boost giving me the confidence to write more.

So you see it's not just about the money that you earn through blogging, it's about knowing that in your everyday life that you think you are invisible, through blogging you are able to share and gain readers that appreciates it. That's what I love most about it.

Blogs that never fail

I'm back! sorry for missing out on a lot while I'm gone but I've been doing a lot of researching and based on my studies I've learned that up to date almost 45% of our teens are into blogging. Who wouldn't go for it right? It's like a journal that you are able to share with the world via net.

Furthermore, it has also become a source of living for some as they are able to maintain and update their blogs just by raising their PR. Getting traffics is one way of helping their blog to be competitive in the market, some of the topics that never fail is based on lifestyles especially healthy living, who wouldn't want to be fit nowadays? Some other topics that may boost their chances of gaining audience for their blogs are about relationships, fashion, gadgets, gaming and of course food!!!

I'm not saying I'm an expert blogger but like I said this topics that I observed mostly get hits and is definitely worth reading especially if you know what you are blogging about not only basing it on what others say.

Vehicular Accidents (An awareness to life)

March 8, 2010 by shandy25 | Edit

Yesterday, my cousins and I went to La Union we rode on a van instead of riding a bus we decided that it would be much faster that way and it would be all to ourselves since there were eight of us but we also considered the idea of riding a bus since it’s much cheaper than riding a van since were going to be renting one. Along the way we admired the view from the steep cliff as some of us goofed around inside the van in other words we made our trip “fun” to take our mind off from our drivers’ way of handling the wheel.

Our driver was so confident behind the wheel that it takes him a lot of courage to swerve along the lanes and overtake some vehicles much larger than our own. I must admit though that I prayed for our trip to be safe as I value my life much as to my companions as well. Anyway, the trip came out to be safe though there were bumps along the way we had to stop because one my cousins felt sick and was becoming nauseant. As a whole the trip went fine.

We were getting ready for a swim when we got a call from our uncle, apparently there was an accident involving a bus on the way to La Union as well but it was on a different route the bus destination was supposedly set off towards Manila. The news about the accident made me realize that we really don’t have control of our lives, that it could be taken away with a snap of a finger however it could also be avoided if people would be careful with their driving.

There are certain ways of avoiding this type of accidents as there are seminars for drivers as a safety precaution to driving. Ford Company Philippines has created a Driving Skills For Life Program(DSFL) which could be useful not only for beginners but it applies to all drivers. Accidents don’t just happen for no reason, it only does when we let it and there are ways that we can prevent it from happening.

A Diner Worth Experiencing

One of the most popular spots in Baguio City is 50's Diner, located in Gen. Luna Road amongst vast choices of fast food chains this place certainly caught our attention. They have done a great job to this place you can actually feel the ambiance of the year 1950.

There are some instances that the owner would be wearing an Elvis Presley costume and the staff pretty much have great looking uniforms. Aside from that the staff are all so very hospitable the very moment that you make an entree. Best of all they make you feel much like at home and they are very sincere with their work, you can tell from their smiles.

As for the food they definitely come in huge servings at a very affordable price perfect for dates and certain occasions. If you have an inexplicable desire for food I would recommend this place for you, I am confident that this place would be satiable it would make you come back for more.

To Love or To Not Love at All...

That is the question that most brokenhearted people ask amongst themselves...YOU, have you ever loved and lost? Really...Seriously?!

I for one asked myself once this question, is it enough that you share moments with the person that you choose to be with. Isn't it ironic how sometimes the person that you love the most loves another person? or the person who loves you somehow becomes unexistent to you(in other terms "invisible")

I have loved a guy whom I thought was my everything turns out he isn't mine after all not even from the start. He never was contented with whatever I could give and in the end left me in tears...Funny, because i knew it would come to this, I have long expected it I just didn't have the guts to accept it.

Looking back, I now have learned that sometimes it's really not that bad to love yourself more than you love the person whom you chose to be with. "Love yourself first and your turn would come for someone to love you back, not for what you have...but, for who you are"

Now, I'm happy to say that I have loved again and this time I know that this guy loves me much as I love him...you know who you are...

Where I want to be...

Right now I'm spending my vacation here at Baguio City. I was given an opportunity to train for Web Blogging along with my in-laws. I went to see the Panagbenga Festival yesterday since it was at its first day and I had a lot of fun, people here were able to show of their skills in flower decorating/arrangements and they were even able to show it off through a Parade where many spectators both locally and tourists had a good time. I especially like the one representing SM baguio it was made in the image of a tiger...so cool...I'm looking forward to visiting again next year.
