The Struggling Blogger

Taking the cue from PinoyAmbisyoso, I am also posting herewith my goals and plans for 2009. And this time, I would like to follow the rules when it comes to setting goals - REALISTIC and SPECIFIC and with that comes a TIME FRAME.

I will post here two sets of goals, first for the month of January 2009 and the second group, for the whole 2009. I may not necessarily post another set for February next month, although I may post updates from time to time.

So here are my goals and plans for January 2009

1) Compose one song - surprised this is the first one on the list? The last time I wrote a song was in 2007. Although none of my songs have ever been recorded commercially

2) Write 3 poems - I am after all a self-proclaimed poet

3) Finish one Papier Tole project - another passion of mine

4) Create, upload and develop the dot com version of The Struggling Blogger - need I say more?

5) Go back to making and selling Chocolate Lollipops and Personalized Chocolate Bars - I need to make a living somehow

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.

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

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.
