company blog


As blogging is now considered a very important marketing tool in business, more and more companies, especially those with offshore visibility, are using it to promote and grow their business. A company blog is less costly and offers a wider scope of visibility. It is not just enough for a company to have a static website. The trend now is to have an online promotional tool that is interactive in nature and highly flexible and that is what a blog does. It invites, informs, as well as answers questions customers ordinarily ask. It brings in more revenues because a blog can project the best image for the company and thus gain the trust and patronage of customers. However, the person who will handle the blog must know everything about the company, its ins and outs, its assets and deficits, etc. Most important of all, aside from this knowledge, the company blogger should know good English.

While this novel communication tool is still hugging the limelight, companies should waste no time and should start jumping in.

calling all poetry lovers

Poetry is a cry or a sigh that emanates from the innermost depths of one's heart and soul. I oftentimes am at awe at how some people could easily wax emotions and thoughts into this genre which to me, is more mystical than the flight of birds. Well, now, are you one of these much revered people? Or are you just a so-called lover or one who simply derives joy in reading beautifully-crafted poetry written by others? Or would you fall under the category of "struggling poets", those still trying to learn the craft. Whoever and whatever, here's a site that is for you.
www.everypoet.org
It's an organization of poets who are willing to critique your work without mercy. If you're one with a weak heart and cannot take brutal insults hurled upon your work, then stay out of this.

Queen eats cornflakes for breakfast


You heard it right. The Queen of England is not eating lamb chops nor steak but cornflakes for breakfast out of a Tupperware! And we thought cornflakes is only for kids who had to rush to school everyday, so the easy-to-prepare breakfast. But a Queen, not wanting of the best chef of England, prefers cornflakes more than anything. This goes contrary to the belief and practice of most poor countries which put heavy emphasis on one's food intake at breakfast. It is believed that it is always good to start the day with a heavy meal in order for a person to tackle his work with much efficiency and vigor. However, a person of such high stature as the Queen of England can always survive with a light breakfast unlike an ordinary laborer who needs to work with a full stomach to tackle the day's work.

drives you nuts

I wasted a whole hour at a site that promises to give you thousands of traffic per day only to be caught up in a traffic of different sites all wanting you to sign up to get some traffic. Like a desperate newbie that I am, I followed each one, signing up here, signing up there, but each time I am done with one site, another one pops up and the clicking goes on and on and it did not look like I am bringing anything to my blogs except a rant. I had to give up or else my whole sunny Sunday would be wasted on that site that will drive you crazy. I am still waiting for Blogchex to come up but until now, the site "cannot be displayed".

crashed

I've been trying to get into my other blog since yesterday but the site is still down and in fact a lot of other people from another forum had been wanting to go there too but it isn't available. I need to do some updates there especially correct a link I mistakenly entered. Anyway, it is a link which leads you to a site that helps couples plan their dream wedding based on their budget.If you know someone who wants to get some ideas for a beautiful wedding, give her this link http://mbwrw.blogspot.com A doctor, turned full-time mom, is launching a new blog at http://blogchex.com/theworkingmom It would be interesting and highly informative to read the blog of someone who had shifted direction from a promising career to full-time homemaker to be with her toddler.

scratching the itch


When I have started blogging with Blogchex, I have completely deserted this one because I thought having two blogs would be too difficult to maintain. So for more than a month I was away from this site because I was busily updating my newfound diversion. Alas, some unavoidable circumstances made me revisit this, my first blog The constant crashing of Blogchex site pushed me back here and after a few updates and with a little help from my children I was finally able to revive it. It's more like responding to an "itch" that made me come back. When one is visited by this so-called writer's "itch", one just have to look for a way to scratch that itch. Another blog was the best answer. Thus, www.everydaywear.blogspot.com is reborn. Lo and behold! Isn't she pretty?

let me blog your blog

This second blog of mine is devoted to blogging about other people's blogs. This is for the purpose of promoting and thus increasing traffic to their blog sites which is vitally important to their growth and income. Those of you who have blogs may leave your links with your comment so that I can visit your sites and spend time later on blogging about them. This is also a new blog of mine and I need to get some traffic in here which I am determined to do using networking tools and methods. If you think you can be of great help here, I'd be willing to return the favor.

online store selling wolves


The title is just a catch. The guy who owns this online store has more than wolves up his sleeves in his interesting website which I don't want you to miss. When I clicked to the link myself I saw that aside from "wolves" he has a lot of other stuff in it. It is an online store which doubles as a good source of information about a lot of things which I would like you to discover for yourself if you click to this link http://www.wolfietreasurebox.homestead.com Come on, give it a click. You will be amazed. I like its unique lay-out too.

sunny Saturday morning

I woke up to see the sun up and hear the cheery chirpings of birds either flying or perched on trees nearby. It is a sunny Saturday morning and in the neighborhood where I live with my family, there are many trees that become homebase to many birds. We have our own bird at home and two chickens which my children keep as pets. We have a lot of other pets like two dogs, hamsters, some fish and some white mice, most of them fed and maintained by my son Mark who has taken to a new hobby of collecting these small animals. Well, what's new today? Nothing much, except for the fact that Saturdays always give me an extra lift, a feeling of being "high" simply because on these days I am free to do as I please----no schedules to catch, no classes to meet. It is only during Saturdays and Sundays that I get to really be free.

Public speaking


My affair with public speaking started many years back in Grade School when my Grade 6 teacher chose me to be one of the contestants for a declamation contest. That was the beginning. My teacher thought my voice quality was good and that I pronounced words well. This was further proven when the best speakers in the class were asked to audition for certain parts of the graduation play. The audition consisted of reading out a text from a book. I could not forget Mrs. Godinez at that time who was requested by the school to direct the play and personally handpick the pupils who played the different roles. I got the role of Mother Philippines, Sylvia Marino was Justice, Myrna Ragay played the role of Peace, and Sherree Badon was the graduate. There were other values portrayed by other classmates like Lilibeth Bongalos, Roberto Godinez, Clarissa Acebo, and others. From there, my participation in stage presentations that required public speaking became more frequent. I was a candidate for a "tula"contest in high school played the biggest part in a school play during the Founders' Day of St. Louis School where I was Hannah in a horror play entitled "Frost- bitten". The characters were limited to only three---Sherree, Elvie and myself. It was a very successful play and I wish I could get hold of the entire script of that play so I could stage it today. I hope Google will be helpful.

2 blogs by a Malaysian blogger

Now he is the second Malaysian blogger I have encountered, one I have already mentioned in my other blog at www.blogchex.com/everydaywear/ and now this guy who owns two blogs. I have taken a look at the two sites and found them to be interesting and informative. The first blog, http://bbd.efx2.com, is what he calls a family blog. If you click to the link you will be redirected to a sweet page of love and romance where the blogger poses with his wife. The second blog, http://lidi.efx2.com is a blog that deals with people sharing and learning new ideas. It is worth taking a trip to these two sites to know more about other people's cultures.

3 blogs by 1

I came across this lady from Cagayan de Oro City who owns three and not just one blog. The first one, http://www.zelmarq.blogspot.com showcases her innermost thoughts and feelings while her http://www.zelmarqs-indulgence.blogspot.com features her unique passion, and that is, collecting and maybe earning from her collection of cactus. You heard it right. Cactus. Probably the most misunderstood plant in the plant kingdom. In order to see the beauty of this seemingly dry and prickly plant, we only have to click to the second link above. But I like the third blog most because it is what it says http://listen-quietly.blogspot.com It is a very quiet place here where you get to hear the lady's heart beating and find her soul searching in the quiet rhythm of poetic lines. If you're one for life, nature, and reflection these are the sites to visit.

got myself a new look

Look at this! It's an entirely new look I have now featuring not only myself but my entire family---there's Mark( my son), my daughter Love and the much-talked about baby in the family Dew or Dewey. The over-all lay-out was done by my son and Love helped me put up some ads. I am proud and happy. Of course, this is not going to be it. There will be some changes and surprises in the future especially in the area of looks. This is just a bit like scratching the surface of the real work that is to come. Keep yourself posted!

yahooooo....blog is no. 1 !!!

When I logged on to my blog at another site, I was delighted to see that I am no. 1 in the latest ranking at www.blogchex.com/everydaywear/ Just what do I have there which made it to the top? Nothing spectacular. Just everyday things happening to ordinary people. But of course, I have different categories there to suit one's interest. There are different blogs for different people. If you want stories that are out-of-the road type, you can go to "Odd Stories but true". If you are looking for tips on generating income, then click to "Get Rich and All that Money Talk" and so on and so forth. I've been blogging there for a month and a half and have already made some close to 300 posts---simple, ordinary postings. Maybe you would like to take a quick tour there. Just click to the link.

blogging at another paid site

What has kept me busy these last many weeks were my very recent involvements with two sites in which I am actively blogging at www.blogchex.com/everydaywear/ and aggressively putting in my two cents' worth of opinions at www.Mylot.com/?ref=funny52f , sites that pay. You might want to take a look and visit them and maybe become a member too to get paid. Membership is free and all you need to do to get in is to click to the links I have just given.I need to write about a lot of stuff here but I am always running out of time. Anyways, vacation is fast approaching, and I know I will be able to do what I had been wanting to do.

shopping delight


Shopping is a great source of delight. Yesterday afternoon after we had encashed the Google check with Optimum Traders Love, Dewey and myself drove to Cang's Inc. to buy some curtains but ended up forgetting to buy them. We were so engrossed in choosing and fitting clothes that we forgot what we came there for. We only remembered it on the way back home. It sounds funny but this is the second time that this happened. The last time was about a year ago when we decided to buy some plastic flower pots. So we went to Super Lee for that purpose but wound up buying a lot of other stuff except flower pots. We remembered them only when we reached home. Shopping is fun but when we are immersed in it, oftentimes we miss the most important things to buy. As a result of that impulsive shopping expedition, here's what we got for ourselves: Dewey got a pair of pink step-ins, a cool blue dress, a toy, and some knickers. Love got herself some new set of panties, four maternity dresses, and a pair of white flat shoes. For myself, I got a light brown Secosana bag , a pair of sandals to match it, and a couple of undies. No curtains. While driving home, Love asked me if I was able to get some curtains. I said no, was she? No, she hadn't either.

sad, sad music


Last night as I was working on my discussions at Mylot and doing a blog at www.blogchex.com/everydaywear/ I was filled with so much sadness when the radio played one very touching and painful song, "Somewhere In Time". The music just brought in a flood of memories from lost youth and suddenly I realized the depth of loneliness this music creates each time I hear it. I used "Somewhere in Time" as background music to a radio program I used to have many years back and it was partly because of what the music did to my feelings which made me effectively deliver each life's story with great success. It was a radio program with DYWC entitled "Kini And akong Kaagi" where I used Inday Tess as radio name. Today, the music still succeeds in wringing my heart and bringing back memories that happened at a time and place so far away.

Britney Spears is bald!

Celebrity Britney Spears just recently barged into an unknown beauty salon and demanded to have her hair shaved. When the beautician did not want to do it, Britney did the shaving herself and when she looked in the mirror gasped and said something like her mother will not be happy about it. People working with the star had noticed that Britney had been acting weirdly these past few days. She had been whining and complaining a lot and had given way to her emotional outbursts in many instances.

Sunday a.m., Feb.18

The morning after Love's b'day came like a lazy cat still stretching from the previous day's work. I did not go to the market because left-over food from yesterday's little celebration will sufficiently feed us the whole day today. We still have some ice cream, spaghetti, pork, and chicken. I'll probably go marketing in the afternoon for tomorrow's consumption.

my daughter's b'day, Feb. 17

Hello! It's quite late right now, we just had our simple birthday celebration of my daughter's 22nd natal day. I've been away for quite some time because I got busy with another blog I have which promises to give payment. Aside from that I have also just started as an active member of www.Mylot.com/funny52F/ My other blog is at www.blogchex.com/everydaywear/ in which some entries there can be found here. I have already close to 200 blogs there but they are still in disarray as I have not done anything to categorize and fix the entries into some interesting order. But I will do that as soon as someone will start for me. I mean, I still need to learn many things here. I got excited when I came back because I thought I have lost what I have started here. My last post here was on Jan. 20 and it's Feb. 17---almost a month! Anyway, I will be coming more often because I have now decided to have an entirely different kind of blog wherein I will talk about my daily earnings and frustations in two paying sites.
