The Struggling Blogger

Tomorrow, September 20, 2008 is the day another APO concert will be held. A concert to celebrate their 39 years of making music together as a group. Yet again, it will be another APO concert that I won’t watch. Don’t get me wrong, I am an APO fan, they have been one of my greatest musical influence. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to watch them tomorrow nor have watched any of their concerts before. I haven’t watched any of their concert because of location, financial, and situation. I live far from the concert place, I can’t pay for the concert, and I won’t leave my kids alone at home just to watch a concert.

Deep inside me, I would love to watch the concert. But more than watching the concert, there’s nothing I really wish more than meeting them personally. No, I’m not just referring to shaking hands and taking my pictures with them, but really meeting them - being introduced, talking to them, changing pleasantries and perhaps ask them what they think about my songs (yes, I also write songs) Wishful thinking I know.

Finally, something came out from my struggling. In spite of my problems with PR, readerships, visits, subscriber and all, an opportunity managed to slip in.

Although quite hesitant, because of previous failures, I went for it still. This time I’m not really expecting anything… until I received this in my email

Nice! It felt great! It wasn’t really that big an amount, but hey! it’s my first. And I do hope it won’t be my last but instead open more opportunities for this Struggling Blogger.

I never thought I will have it. After all, I’m not writing a novel or anything… I’m just writing a blog. It’s been two days now and I really can’t write anything worthwhile. I don’t know where to start… I don’t know how start.

Is there such a thing as blogger’s block? Or is it also referred to as writer’s block?

Honestly, right now I’m really running out of things to say. Blabbering away, pounding on the keyboard… trying to make sense in my statements, yet without a subject or anything to talk about.

I remember one online site I have been way back in 2006. It was a writing site… I was given one minute to type anything… anything. And as the countdown goes on, I was pounding on the keyboard, just like what I am doing today. As if I am talking to myself, or to an audience that was never there.

It worked for then… perhaps it could work for me again.

The current roster of Celebrity Duets contestants include MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando. Well, among the current crops of president wannabe’s, BF is my most probable bet. What with his no-nonsense political will that enforces law no matter who gets hit. That is why he caught the ire of a former MMDA chairman (also a wannabe), because BF has accomplished what was only in his drawing board, to say the least.

But BF’s inclusion in the Celebrity Duet is I guess not a very smart move, as far as his political plan is concern. Sure, he can carry a tune, but that’s not the point here. I fear that this will actually be used against him, politicians being the ever-resourceful and creative people that they are, can turn this action of the MMDA chairnman to their advantage.
