Blogging is fun and sometimes, addictive. Let us admit it; we tend to abuse our selves especially our eyes. Unfortunately, blogging for two hours or more can cause Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). This may affect our mental and physical abilities that may lessen our productivity. Although some of you may have heard of this before, it is good to be reminded again. If this is your first time, then you should finish reading this. I read some articles about it and simplify them here.

Symptoms

2.0 Temporary nearsightedness

4.0 Eye strain, dry eyes, and redness and watering of eyes.
5.0 Neck and back aches. (more…)

Success in blogging requires a lot of patience, time and effort. There are even times that you should spend money just to keep your blog alive. However, some bloggers commit mistakes unconsciously that make their blog deteriorate until it dies unnaturally. The worst thing is that the blogger is not even aware about it. With him barely noticing it, his subscribers are gradually withdrawing and traffic becomes static. To have an idea, here are some situations you must avoid.

Posting irregularly

There are times when we are busy with other things, and posting will not be our priority. While you cannot avoid it, your blog status might suffer the consequences. To save your blog, you can invite guest bloggers to post for you. However, you must be sure they can help your blog while you are away. If you cannot find one, be courteous to your readers by informing them about your temporary absence and when they can expect you to return. (more…)

I would like to reserve this post as an entry to the Pinoy Parenting Blog Carnival 7th edition hosted by The Working Mom with the theme – How do you discipline your kids?

From the title itself, it will tell you how strict I am especially to my daughter. I must admit, I hit her a few times when I think she deserves one. This is the best reminder that I think so she won’t repeat the same mistakes again. I am not going to justify my action but I just want to elaborate further. (more…)

Although boxing is about strength and it requires being physically fit, a boxer must also be intelligent. He will not just punch with all his might, he must also have different strategies in order to win the fight. Apparently, it is quite easier than blogging in terms of competition because you have only one opponent to beat. While the former looks bloody, blogging is also a tough battle since we are dealing with millions of blogs and many of them may have the same concept as yours. If you are going to ask how a trainer prepares his boxer, here are some of his tips that you can relate to blogging.

Study your opponent

A smart fighter will watch videos of his upcoming opponent to understand his strategies. In this way, he may find ways to anticipate the strength and find the weakness. He may also have an idea on what kind of approach he must do. As a blogger, you must view some blogs with the same topic as yours to know the chances that people will still like to visit your blog.

Teenage marriage has a bigger tendency of separation than those with the mature age, as they say. This may be true because marriage requires maturity and a lot of sacrifice. However, one must remember that there are a lot of marriages that end up nothing and the cause has nothing to do with age. Therefore, we can say that teenage marriage can also be successful. Just to make myself clear, I am not in favor of teenage marriages but if you are planning to marry at a very young age and it seems that nobody can stop you, the following tips are for you.

Do not marry because of the baby

Let us say that something that should not happen has happened, and of course you have to keep the baby. If you are planning to get married just for the sake of the baby, forget it. Although many would disagree with me, I still insist that you should think twice first before getting married. You cannot cover up a mistake with a bigger mistake. Being not married to someone who have your child does not mean you cannot be a good parent. Marriage is a union of two people, who are deeply in love with each other with or without a child. (more…)
