The Struggling Blogger

When I said I was being prophetic when I titled my previous post ‘Greater things are coming to me!‘ It was meant as a joke, you know, trying to be funny and smart-sounding. How was I supposed to know that it would indeed come true?!

One that I was not even aware of!

I just followed an in incoming link in my dashboard that led me to Bloggita’s blog, and what have I found?! Lo and behold! I won one free domain for a one year! And I did not even join a contest!

Apparently, Roel is giving incentives to his top commentators, from among which the winners, he picked randomly. For December 2008, I was one of those who have spoken too much on his blog, which qualifies for his contest, and eventually, I won!

Cool!

Let’s see what I got:

A cool Wordpress Theme personally designed by Amor
and now, a domain name courtesy of Roel

Hey! I got the complete package! And it’s just the first week of 2009! Can’t wait to see what happens next week. So, I got everything that a blogger needs right? Well, almost…

If only I can get an sponsor for my DSL, that would allow me to enjoy the benefits of my winnings

Yeah, wishful thinking, I know. But who knows?

Anyway, I’m so happy and excited. I guess, I’ll be busy this weekend building up a new blog for The Struggling Blogger.

To be honest, and I have to say this, aside from a few minutes featuring the reunion and grand homecoming of Wanbol University students, there is really nothing Iskul Bukol about the movie.

But for credits, it didn’t destroy the concept of the reunion by making terrorists attack right on the reunion time, or conflicts arising right at the school, like we see in most ‘quickie’ movies that are shown in the cinemas today.

It has to happen a day after Christmas. I actually first saw the story on Reyna Elena Blog SantaCruzan.

But somehow, another link sent me to the Vicissitude blog and Bambee’s entry regarding their family’s nightmare in a golf course in Antipolo. A nightmare that was brought to them by the Mayor of Masiu City, Lanao del Sur, Nasser Pangandaman Jr., and his father, Secretary of Agrarian Reform Nasser Pangandaman.

These two men, together with their company (if you’re picturing a group of goons cum bodyguard surrounding these two guys, we’re on the same page), beat Bambee’s 56-year old father and her 14-year old brother. And for what? For a simple misunderstanding on the golf course.

Right there in the middle of the golf course, and by the entry in Vicissitude’s blog, they had no qualms doing it. And just like we see in the movies, the altercation did not end without abusive words and threat from the powers that be.

When you have someone as credible as Angel Cuala endorsing an e-book, all feelings skepticism and cynicism flies out the window. True enough, after reading his review and downloading the free e-book (and reading the e-book of course), it is as he described it to be.

As the name of the e-book says, it contains the Ultimate Super Tips in things that you need to know if you are serious in earning online. Yes, the book is about internet marketing, but don’t be intimated because the book is written in the simplest, and the most understandable presentation that even a non-techie like can easily comprehend.

Indeed, this e-book is newbie-friendly, yet still stimulating enough for the experts out there.

Shampoo’s are to women while beer are to men? I’m talking about how nonsensical TV commercials can be. Yes, you guessed it right. This is another take on today’s advertisements being flashed on our television as we watch.

I am actually gathering materials for my second installment of Commercial Muna, but this particular one made me think and decide, it can be posted by itself. It doesn’t need any accompanying subjects as it’s a topic on its own.

I’m talking about the latest commercial of a beer, you know the one where a giant bottle of the said beer ‘falls upon the man’ who doesn’t know how ‘real men’ act. Really now, how should real men act?
