A few days ago, the TV show “Korina Today” made a feature segment entitled “Beware of the Blog,” wherein, the host and a number of guests talked about their views about the different issues relating to blogs primarily brought about by the Brian Gorell controversy.

The discussion raised a number of intriguing views about blogging. From notions like a blog can only be a reliable source of information if the blogger behind it is “respectable”, to the definition of illegitimate blogger as bloggers who hides behind anonymity, and a couple more which can be read on Noemi’s blog.

I would like to apologize for my absence last week, I was ill and had to spend my days recovering at my lola’s house (where there is no internet connection). I feel a little better now but I decided to hold back and rest some more until I’m all better.

Hopefully by tomorrow I could resume with my all my blogging work. Sigh, it looks like I need to bring my dead blog back to life again.

Happy Blogging!

Blog. This is just one of the many foreign words that have no direct translation in the Tagalog language.

I’ve read an interesting article a month ago over at PauloMartinez.com that invites Pinoy Bloggers to go and look for a Pinoy term of the word “blog”. Weeks have passed and I went back to see if anyone had left any suggestions for the term, but unfortunately, there wasn’t any. I then wondered, “Why aren’t bloggers interested in looking for a Tagalog term for the word Blog?”

I have been receiving requests from fellow bloggers lately asking me if I could let them guest post here in PinoyBlogero.com. Although, I know that Guest posting has some benefits on the part of the Guest poster and the blog owner, I’m a little reluctant in having it on my blog.

I stumbled upon an article by Nick on PinoyDreamer.com titled “Philippine Politics in the Blogosphere? What do you think?” that talks about a particular blog called Gloria-Resign.net in which, from the name itself, is a blog against Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

Nick says that such a blog with a political agenda should stay out of the blogosphere due to the reason that it paints a negative picture of the Philippines.

Sigh. I’ve been having this really bad writer’s block ever since Monday and I don’t know how to get rid of it. I have already followed my own advices in breaking writer’s block but to no avail.

I guess this is one of those times that one needs to take a short break from all the stressful activities of creative writing. Yeah, a blog leave up until this coming Sunday sounds good.

Half a year ago, I envisioned PinoyBlogero.com as the only blog that is focused on the Pinoy blogosphere. An authority that has in-dept coverage and analysis of the latest news and issues of the Pinoy blogging community. A place where community members can discourse and interact. In short, a blog that is purely focused on [...]

        I was checking my blog stats this morning when I noticed that my blog’s visits this past week was generally lower when compared to the average number of visits that I had during the previous weeks. I bet that this coming week won’t be any different because of the holidays. Yep, people are [...]

Due to a little hiccup, I wasn’t able to board my flight to Saudi Arabia. Yeah, it was kind of a bummer. I traveled from Rizal to NAIA International Airport just to find out that I could not fly because my VISA had already expired. Now it looks like I’m going to spend my Christmas [...]

UPDATE: Wasn’t able to board the flight. Found out too late that my Visa was already expired for 8 days. Guess I’ll be spending my Christmas here.
Nope, this is not a joke. I’m really heading to Saudi Arabia. In fact, I’m on my way to the airport right now.
Why is it very hard to believe [...]

 
The situation back at the Manila Peninsula Hotel followed by the announcement of a region-wide curfew had got me preparing for a second Martial Law. Fortunately, nothing of the sort was being prepared behind the conspiracy curtain which is why we are back once again to our worry free lives watching Marimar and blogging about [...]
