thoughts on blogging

someone said that if you are a travel blogger, you need to do more than simply post articles about what you did, where you went and all those stuff bout your itinerary. as claimed, if you are a travel blogger, you should be writing about the significance of your journey or something that is out of the extraordinary. something that will tell more from your travel, not just those basic stuff, something more in-depth…something with soul.
well, to me, it depends on who your target market is. if you are trying to win a nobel peace prize for every article you write or if you are like a high school student who wants to produce a reaction paper out of every journey you made, then i’d probably go for that melodramatic, novel type, documentary article to prove to people i can write and that what i write has content. but if i am someone who belongs to the majority of the crowd who’d simply search stuff on how to’s and tips on traveling, then i’d certainly go for that informative style of writing. coz to me, I believe that people search for travel information online not because they want to know what the writer felt the first time they ate a pear and how they can describe how sandy it felt in their mouth. or perhaps how the smell of honey reminded the writer of her mom’s favorite bath soap.
in my case, i blog about stuff because i want to share information to individuals who need to know what i have to say. maybe inject a few humor here and a few emo stuff there. but i write because i want to know that people who think like me will have access to the kind of information i write. i do admit that i am more of an informative writer rather than the poetic type and i normally find it hard to express my thoughts. whatever i lack in expressing my thoughts through writing, i compensate through showing photos of the stuff i’ve gone to or those stuff i’ve seen, experienced, witnessed. i am not a pro when it comes to taking pictures too but i know it will do and the effort is there. also, quoting from The Photoblogger, “a picture speaks a thousand words. but a thousand words is not enough“.
so i guess it’s really up to your readers and how they perceive of your writing style. we all have different “clients” that we have to cater to. what’s important is you continue doing what you love to do while keeping an open mind on suggestions on how you can improve your craft or how to conform with what the rest is doing and not pass judgement when their writing style failed to meet your standards.
oh well, these are just my thoughts…

Red Ribbon Bakeshop Gave Me a Cake!

For the past couple of days, I had been contemplating on what cake I’d get as my belated birthday cake since I didn’t get one when my birthday came. I was too busy with work so I never got the chance to go out and celebrate.
But thanks to Red Ribbon Bakeshop here in Cebu, I no longer had to endure the hassle of selecting a cake since they gave me one for free! And I super love it!
Red Ribbon Bakeshop’s Chocolate Fudge Cake
I got invited to Red Ribbon Cebu’s product launching – Crispy Chicken, Chocolate Fudge Cake and their Black Forrest Cake. Before we left their Cocomall outlet, they handed each one of us a box of the Red Ribbon Chocolate Fudge Cake. I was totally stunned at the sight of the box! I didn’t see that one coming.
Since I made plans to watch the movie Eat Pray Love after Red Ribbon’s product launching, I made a quick stop over at our house to leave the cake since I cannot afford to spoil the icing and the cake itself. I planned to stab a long candle in the middle of the cake and blow the candle but when I arrived home, someone already beat me at savouring the 1st slice. With the cake’s enticing looks, it’s no wonder why someone already helped themselves with a slice of the cake.
Thanks Red Ribbon Bakeshop Cebu!
Special thanks to Xerxes & Ms. Abbey for the invitation 
P.S. Will be posting more of the product launching soon.

*sob* Yeah. Sad to say, I’m not getting any younger but the good thing is I’m still someone I’d refer to as “wala gihapon buot” 
And please don’t make me translate that in English since i can’t think of any. Feel free to do it for me, k?
And since I didn’t get to have have my birthday cake yet, I’m borrowing one online till I get my own, hopefully before the clock strikes 12mn later
today, i’m officially 30 years old
I already made a bold move a couple of months back. The future holds no certainty for me right now but I’m gonna make sure I’ll live each day knowing I’m one step closer to realizing my dreams and goals in life. Char!
free bobot candy for everyone!
