Vision

I’m sure you experience having a vision during your silent moments. It happens to me a lot of times too, specially I’m typically quiet, and tends to be swallowed in my own world.

While riding the fx on my way home the other day, I had a vision about one of my big ambitions. It’s still rather vague so I guess the universe still has a difficulty helping create an easy path for me.  The good thing is it that my vision is not merely thinking of wanting to change the world one person at a time (come to think of it, this has been one of my mantras, my driving force why I’m pursuing my current career).

Two weeks and a hundred thousand pesos

Of course, not another Father’s Day post. I’ve greeted my Dad already, and he’s contented with that. Lol :grin: I know a lot of you kept on coming back for this long-awaited geeky testimonial. (I thought I promised to rant about it 10 hours after fleeing from Slumberhouse.) Though (uber)lame as I see it, here’s my long post about a bizarre unlucky boy who ended up paying all his parents’ bills for the past two years.

Hugging my mom

Imagine, you are standing in the middle of a growling crowd filled with good-looking (and not so good-looking) people whose eyes are all glued to your wide forehead. You are palpitating, nauseated, and severely exhausted because you’re afraid to spend the remaining 200 pesos for food since you just borrowed it from your kapitbahay just to reach Quezon City. You haven’t slept a bit, eaten a bit, flossed a bit–all for that one hundred peso jackpot question and a special package you’ll never expect to be that freaking awesome. And then you realized… Read more

Value Adding Blogs = Empowered Readers

After I conclude my “How to lose your job” series (hopefully this week), I will embark on another journey and this time to feature blogs around the world that more or less share my interest– that is to add and/or create value to readers– corporate citizens and entrepreneurs alike in particular.In business and economic term, one may easily understand what value adding means, but heck, how does value adding apply to blogs?

Airline Food Adventure

We often hear people say bad things about airline food. If you ask me, they are just like any other food – some are so so and some are good. What’s unique about airline food is how they compress everything to fit in the the food tray in front of you. Let me give you a peek of what airline food looks like.

sean's first day at school

It’s breakfast time! Juicy hotdogs and fried rice are set on the table. And everybody are on the rush! Why? Because its Sean’s first day of school.

What a perfect day to go to school. The weather is fine, the sun is bright and gentle breeze blowing in the air. While Sean is at the shower, his mom is having a tremendous adrenalin preparing all that Sean would be needing at school , from his uniform, to his shoes, his bag down to his lunchbox. She seems to be tireless.  (And the most excited!) :D

As for me, I have already forecasted this moment and my idea since I’m a blogger is to capture the moment. As of  last night my batteries are fully charged and my Samsung digicam is locked and loaded. Ready to shoot anyone on sight with its 512MB ammo! lol :lol:

Sean was really enjoying every minute of his time at the school. While other kids were crying, Sean was busy putting up his puzzle. He listens while his teacher does a story telling, he even raises his hand when the teacher asked for a volunteer to paste a card on the whiteboard. Everything went on nice and smooth that first day of school,  except for one big problem,  when the class was finished SEAN DON’T WANNA GO HOME! Wahhhhh!

What My Previous Blogs Have Taught Me: Ang Tall Tale Ko

This is second part of the “What My Previous Blogs Have Taught Me” series here in Pinoy Blogero. This series recounts the different blogs that I have made in the past while sharing the many things that I have learned through them. You can read the about what my other previous blog has taught me here.

Learning from my blogs

“Mr. Licudine, kanina ka pa nakangiti, a? May dumi ba ako sa mukha?

Ang Tall Tale Ko (http://namre.blogspot.com)
The first time I have heard about blogging in 2006, I immediately left my friendster account and headed straight to blogger to sign up. Why blogger? I don’t know of any blogging sites at that time and blogger was on top of google’s list. I found blogging to be fascinating because it gives ordinary people a way to express all their thoughts easily through the net.

Ang Tall Tale Ko is my very firt blog which features a collection of “tall tales” taken from the different points of my life. A tall tale is an account of an event that is true yet greatly exaggerated. A more loose translation of the word would be “Kwentong Barbero” in Tagalog. It features true to life events from Karlo Licudine’s life that are slightly altered to make it more interesting.

Compared to my first site, Ang Tall Tale Ko had a slightly higher hit rate. This may be because of the network of blogger friends that I have accumulated during my first blogging days.

As the weeks passed, visits from other bloggers became less and less frequent. It seems that reading “made up” stories weren’t really as interesting as I thought it would be. There was even a time that someone told me that my blog should have a more focused topic if I wanted more people to visit my site. I ignored the advice and continued what I was doing.
