The Struggling Blogger

Yes. The picture that you see is the Sala Set that I have tweeted just a few days ago (that is if you follow me on Twitter).

While most bloggers would pose with their new laptops, cell phone and other techie gadgets, I opted to put a picture of a sala set.

This, my friends, is my FIRST tangible proof of HARD blogging labor. Nothing against gadgets and all, would love to have those too. Maybe it’s just a matter of priorities. At least now, our house looks like a home.

Don’t bother looking for nos. 1 to 7, there aren’t any.

Obviously, by the title alone, you know what kind of post this is – a blog filler. One that you post when you don’t have anything to post.

It’s like doing something, when you don’t know what to do… just to let time pass at least.

You’ve heard of writer’s block. This one isn’t about that.

A blog filler isn’t always borne out of the writer’s inability to come up with something worth reading… I have lots of ideas popping out of my head right now, quite frankly.

I was about to make a post on this blog regarding the demise of the King of Pop, but with all the news and blog posts going around, what is there that is not yet said?

I’m pretty sure, everybody would only pay tributes and kinds to Michael Jackson, no matter what kind of life he has lived. He has after all, greatly contributed his talent to us and the rest of the world.

I found this when I followed a tweet which led me to a twitpic with the title ‘This is what Perez originally wrote about Michael Jackson on Twitpic‘

Honestly, you don’t need to be a fan to have some respect.

“You have a blog breath!”
I don’t know if that is a good thing or not, but with 13 blogs and growing, that is not really an inaccurate statement.

No. Nobody said those words to me, I just have this nasty habit of talking to myself. Who else do I have here with me to talk to?

I tried talking to the PC before, but I stopped. Why? Because I felt it was starting to answer back.

Don’t worry, I’m still sane. At least I think so. I still have frequent lucid intervals, with short distances in-between even. So, I’m still good for discussions. Try me.

Anyway, in one of those sessions, the inner voice told me those words – “You have a blog breath!”

I write blogs… I read blogs… I talk blogs… I think blogs…. I breathe blogs! Maybe, I do have a blog breath!

Saw this feature on the Yahoo! homepage about the longest English word, and I thought it would lead me to an article about, well, the longest English word of course.

Unfortunately, when I clicked on it, it led me to a page on Yahoo! Answers instead, with somebody asking on what is the longest English word, and a few answers from those who dared…
