When You Think Blogging Is Free

You think blogging is free?! Think again people. IT"S NOT!!
You have to acquire all these important requirements: COMPUTER built with at least the latest hard drive and RAM (Random Access Memory) with more than 400GB at least. Your machine should be equipped with DVD ROM, with the complete bundle or package for all the extra features
you need to cope up with others. You should have at least the necessary printer, xerox copier, fax and all the modems. I know some computer afficionados would rather prefer the New MACBOOK slim laptop. Providing yourself with the newest arrival of the digital camera, iPod, iTouch and other text messaging equipments to go with your new found job. You think of something big! The bigger the dreams, the imagination, the bigger the price of all these modern equipments. I told you it's not free! After all the computations, the total price equals to U$7,000. Plus the monthly bill for the internet hook-up or installation. High-speed is pricey.

What else? Blogging can be very addictive. If you have at least more than 10 blogs, all the gigabytes stored in your weblogs are there in your computer's memory bank. Then, the next thing you know, your computer will slow down and it's time to change or buy another new computer that you can use for the rest of your internet surfing, blogging and research.

Several of us would keep on blogging, ranting for heaven's sake but few of us will suddenly remain silently unmoved and others will just go quietly out of the Blogosphere. It was a sign of times, sort of a fad. The coolest? Or the hottest, phenomenal moonlighting of all times...BLOGGING.

Blogging Without Power Outage - Priceless!

Oh wow! What a refreshing breath of fresh air! There's no schedule of power outage today!Hep, don't accused me of being sarcastic. I'm just plain playing candid. I've been away for quite a while doing what I'm supposed to do. Since blogging is not my 24 hour job. For some of the professionals bloggers who make a living from all their writings and journals maybe they stayed here all day and night in front of their computer. But contrary to what other bloggers, here's the good advice, never ever leave your day job for the sake of blogging. Ask me why? There are about 100 millions of writers nowadays and for someone to click your blog would be a miracle.

I know...I tried almost different topic in my blogs. I read what the professional bloggers have to say, but they are having the same kind of problem. Actually there are about hundreds of FREE WEBLOGS in the internet nowadays. FREE!! It's FREE at first? Or perhaps, it's best to READ THE FINE PRINT first just to make sure or else....Others have to ask for endorsement from other companies. I have seen a FREE BLOG for the first initial start of your "composition" then the next pages you have to pay. OH my that's awful huh. You can SUE them ? Or they can sue you? Court and legal battles would just end up a huge bills for the plaintiff and the accused. So, what's happening here is just to shut down the website if deem necessary.

Somehow, the website publisher gained more publicities from all these on-going hoopla among their bloggers. The merrier even if its disorganized. Heard of cheaper by the dozen? What more if there are millions?

Millions. Billions! Billions of people in the Republic of CHINA will celebrate their traditional Chinese New Year. The Chinese from different walks of life will have their traditional gift giving of the RED ENVELOPE with sum of MONEY of course. I think I received one of those red envelopes. According to their culture, if you're given a red envelope it will bring you GOOD LUCK. And it did. What else they occasionaly made on this festivity? Ah, yeah I remember their MOON CAKE. It is similar to the Philippine's HOPIA with minced munggo beans or meat inside as stuffing. Then, they also have delicacies calamay, tikoy and other sweet sticky rice. You think only the Filipinos knew about these sweet stuff? Well, let me inform this for you, the making of these sweets were handed over to us by our beloved Chinese ancestors. More influential attributes, values and traditions were passed to us one way or another. Not to forget that our very own National Hero Dr. Jose Rizal was a product of a Chinese-Spanish family.

Great fireworks would probably mark the beginning of 2008 . Here's the great good CHEERS to all the Chinese in China and around the world. HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

Lest we forget!

PUSH! PUSH!
Hurry, hurry to WINstone
Keep on pushing
Keep on pulling
Is that where the energy called work?
Or just a matter of pulling the snow from above
Keep on falling
Keep on shoving
The never ending
Winter scene

Darn! I hate snow! I want a tropical weather. I want to get out from this island right now. It makes me sick. So sickening and boring to the point that my brain is boiling.

To those who keep pulling the hamstring after the fuse has been blown away, another gimmick, another trend. Another change?

Here's the good CHANGE if you want some changes. Put the donkey and the elephant together inside the White House let see if the house would change into a house of card. Change the curtain and the windows. Change the doors and the wall. Use slabs of marbles from the wall to the floor. Decorate the whole house like as if it's a new monument of integrity, strength, values and responsibility. Make it a truly house of leaders that you can respect and admire. CHANGE the oval office into a square and have the replica of the Washington monument inside the Square office. So that the tong would forever vanished from the minds of the people who cannot forget. Lest we forget!
