The Struggling Blogger

We know and expect that the internet would be explored (exploited) by politicians in the oncoming national and local elections this year. Candidates are on Facebook, Twitter, Friendster, and some even have their own blogs too, while most have a website.

But I was definitely surprised to see Manny Villar on Adsense of some blogs!

There’s nothing really wrong about it right?! Right??

Well, if the Comelec said there was no violation committed, then there’s none. If ever there was some violation, they’ll just say “I haven’t seen it yet.” (Well, then a look at it!)

So far now, I haven’t seen any other candidates yet who are on Adsense too. The perks of being “mahirap.”

“You can’t get any bigger in this business than to fight Manny Pacquiao right now,” said Josh Clottey, who acknowledges fighting the pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao is more than just the money.

The Pacquiao-Clottey fight will be on March 13, a match that was inked following a fall-out from the negotiation with Mayweather, Jr.

Pacquiao will be putting his WBO welterweight crown against Clottey in their match which will take place at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

I am sure that by now you have seen the picture of Mr. Bean as one of the characters of the Avatar movie, and had a good laugh. Mr. Bean has been a favorite subject of photo editing softwares because his facial feature seems to go well with everything. Perhaps you may have wonder how they did that.There is an online photo editing site that I have stumbled upon which allows to create photo effects, collage photo, and funny pictures too.

I always get jealous whenever I see pictures posted on Facebook and other social media, of people who have trekked the Pinatubo trail. It is one of my dream to also trek the volcano that once brought gloom and chaos in our town, Angeles City. I have already discussed this with some of my friends who have been there, or are also planning to go there. Some are even willing take their travel trailers to as far as the slope of the volcano would allow us. They are more than willing to accompany once we get our schedules fixed.

There should be a law against indiscriminate blowing of horns. It is very common that a few seconds’ pause from a vehicle would provoke a continuous blowing of horn from the ones behind it.

AND IT’S IRRITATING!

The ones who do this are mostly private vehicles, especially those who are riding in those expensive SUVs and other high-end cars.

I usually encounter these irritants whenever I am aboard a public utility vehicle (PUV), and when the PUV stops momentarily, expect a continuous sound of irritating, eardrum-braking, blowing of horn.

GRANTED that it is a common habit of these PUVs not to put their vehicle on the side of the streets whenever they would unload or pick-up a passenger, in those instances, I can understand them.

But what really irritates me is when there is really a jam that extends farther than 2 or more vehicles in the front and yet these sonova keeps on honking their horn. Next time, get luxury cars with wings and rocket boosters in them.

Better yet, buy your own road.

I don’t know if there is already a law for this, but traffic aides who witness these incidents doesn’t do a thing. So it’s either there is no law against indiscriminate blowing of horns, or these traffic aides do not know of such a law.
