The Struggling Blogger

As I child, I have always been fascinated with magnets. You know, playing with magnets and pulling lines of paper clips, tacks, and small nails along… wasn’t that fun? Which child did not play with magnets anyway? I’m sure, most of us at one time or another in our childhood have played with magnets.

Now, it gets better! Because magnet comes in great three-dimensional shapes and more functions too for greater fun! These are the magnetic toys from MagNext! They have different versions like a magnet building set which can enhance one’s creativity. How I wish we have these during our time.

I know, I may be a bit older to play with magnets now, but I’m sure my sons and daughter would enjoy playing with dinosaurs and their ‘bones only’ counterpart - all magnetic! The toys come with instructions so our kids can enjoy them more. These instructions are even downloadable in PDF format.

You can download the instructions sheets from Mega Brands website, the distribution of these excellent toys from MagNext! Other great models available are racing cars, special mechanical parts, car launchers, and they even have something for the girls too!

If I were you, I’ll check out Mega Brands website now and see all these great magnetic toys!

Those who really know me also knows the fact that I have become a single parent last year. Obviously, one of the effect of this predicament is loneliness. Not one who is really look for anything romantic, it is inevitable that sometime, one may sense a need for someone to talk to.

Thanks to blogging I have an outlet for all my thoughts, but nothing can really beat talking to a real person sometimes. Talking to the kids is fine, but you know you can only discuss so much with them. And just like anyone else, it is always better to be talking to someone who can relate to you situation.

Single Parent City is a website that understands the situation of single parents all over the globe. Because of this, the website has provided a Free Single Parent Chat room where single parents can meet, talk and share sentiments with.

I really don’t have any problem discussing with friends I have right now, even though they may not have the same situation as mine, it could be interesting to meet other people who is in the same boat and exchange stories and experiences.

So what do think? Should I try it? Well…. let’s see….

I started blogging way back in 2004, although it is only in 2008 that I really devoted more of my time to blogging. Erase that, make that ‘most’ of my time to blogging. In fact, in early 2008 I have only one blog which is the REFLECTIONS.

Now, I have 9 active blogs which I always want to get updated all the time. Although honestly, it is inevitable that one or two blogs get left out for a week or two (sometimes even a month), before it gets updated. Nonetheless, I do try hard to give them equal time.
