The Struggling Blogger

“I never doubted that Pacman will win!” this remark puts a smile on my face when I heard it on the radio. A representative from the palace quoted the state leader as saying so. Yes, I know Pacman is an excellent boxer, but he is still not Superman. He is as vulnerable as any boxer he faces on the ring. And the fact that he is facing a fellow champion doesn’t give him an outright advantage at all. Diaz is not a pre-schooler in professional boxing, so to speak.

Since I have posted other blogs here, I guess I can also post my other blogs too. And while their links may already be in the sidebars, herewith are some brief descriptions of what they are and why they are.

Here goes:

REFLECTIONS
poems… essays… emotions… reflections

My very first blog. Used to be that I will post everything here… my pains, my views, feelings, news, poems… everything! Until I realized that everything shouldn’t be here. Which began the creation of a series of other blogs. To contain other items that should not be here. This blog is personal.

Now it contains essays and poems, as well as views and latest happenings in my life.

I was surprised to read today’s edition of Philippine Star and saw the title of Mr. Jim Paredes’ column “Why I blog.” I can understand that he has a weekly column in the newspaper since he is such a good writer and has deep insights on current issues. These he usually express through his songs.

Having caught by the title of the column, I immediately read the whole content. I saw the URL of his blog which I immediately bookmarked. His blog entitled Writing on Air (My musings and random thoughts) contains, well… his musings and random thoughts, an online edition of his weekly column, his deep insights on current issues, as well schedules of his seminars - Tapping the Creative Universe or TCU (I hope I could blog more on this sometime).

These last few weeks I have been active in my blogging. In fact, I think I have blogged like crazy. Trying to maintain five different blogs with different theme for each, actively. Consciously making an effort that not one of these blogs will be left behind. I guess I have even surpassed my projected 5 posts per week.

What I have done may not be that much for more active bloggers, but as far as I’m concern, this is way over my personal expectations. All these because all this time I have been unemployed. Yes! All the while I’ve been without a compensation. As to how we have managed or survived all these times is nothing but miracles. It’s not because I don’t want to work or anything. In fact there were number of times I attempted to get employed, but I was unfortunate that I don’t get hired. Hence the name, The Struggling Blogger.
