Christmas is barely 2 months from now, and next year will be the nationwide election here in the Philippines. Sooner or later, the aspiring candidates will be visiting places for their campaign. Meanwhile, some of you may be having a baby this season. If you are a Catholic, then you will now be looking for people you think can be the right godparents for your child.

Yes, my dear readers. I now own a Problogger Book, and it is such a great honor to have one. Late last year, I proudly announced that I won a Problogger Book by sharing the Best Blogging Tip. It was from a contest at Kevin Muldoon’s forum. Kevin is the humble owner of Blogging Tips, who was kind enough to allow me to guest post on his blog for four times. Since then, my confidence in sharing blogging tips increased.

By the way, the judge was no less than the Problogger himself, Darren Rowse. It was such a privileged for me to be chosen. Actually, I already got the book some few months ago, but it is unfortunate that I have no time to read it thoroughly. However, I tried to took a peek on it and I would like to share to you some interesting things about it. Read more of this >>

Yesterday, I saw on national TV that Rustom Padilla has finally changed his name to Bebe (not sure if I wrote it correctly). If you don’t know him, he is a good actor and was formerly married to a good actress but eventually discovered and admitted to everyone that he is a gay. I am not really fond of Showbiz scoops and intrigues, but I love reality and this post is not about Bebe. This is about having a gay in the family.

We all know that gays are now getting a lot of exposure, and the Filipinos are now starting to give them a wider space. So, what’s the point? Are we getting worst? Are the parents of today neglecting their children or just more open to reality? These are only some of the questions that the answers will depend on how you see things. Read more of this >>

Christmas is being celebrated today by Christians and families worldwide. According to the Bible, Mary had no other place to give birth, after Joseph cannot find an inn to stay for his family. So Mary had no choice but to give birth on a manger, to her son Jesus. Then, an angel spread the good news to the shepherds of Bethlehem. Later, three wise men came to offer gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

As time goes on, there were debates as to when Christians should celebrate it. Centuries later, different countries created different traditions on how to celebrate it. Then, a symbol of gift giving was established through Santa Claus. But what does Christmas really means? How does it affect the present world and the future generation? Read more of this >>

Just recently, a 19-year old MySpace member committed suicide during a live self-broadcast on a certain forum. He even left a suicide note, which is now being posted on forums such as here and here. This news was confirmed true, and the case is now considered close. But for us who are still living, the tendency of a similar case is always possible.

Any family member can commit suicide anytime, and this phenomenon is somehow unpredictable. The decision does not consider age, sex, race and religion. People commit suicide is because of untreated depression. This depression has many causes and the most common ones are horrible disappointments, great loss and hopelessness in life. However, there are signs that can make us conclude that committing suicide will be his next option. Here are some of them and hopefully, you will not take them for granted. Read more of this >>

Long and boring posts

While it is alright to write long posts, they should not be boring. On the contrary, they must be more interesting as they are reading it. This is where your creativity comes in.
