Social Media and Peers Almost all of us here I guess have their social media accounts. Others may have more than one account, say for example Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. **How long have you been using one of these? How was your experience so far?** **Honestly speaking I have created five Facebook dummy accounts.** The first and original account was created 2009 and deactivated 2012. Then for some reason I created a new one for my personal account in 2012 and finally…

The Good Thing About Trying Aside from writing for your blog sites, what else do you do when not writing an article? Are you a YouTube influencer too? *Speaking of video influencers or commonly known as Vloggers, I am quite envious whenever I see a person who is confident enough to speak or talk in front of a camera.* **I also dream of becoming one of them, unfortunately I am a camera shy person.** I tried creating a YouTube channel too but I wasn’t able to make videos as I…

Selective Reduction These days almost anything can be made possible. The innovative technology has done great and beyond imaginable things to humankind. *For the past decades medical practitioners, doctors and researchers have contributed a lot in making our lives easy. Things like surgery, cure and even fertility are just a few areas that they have mastered to extend the life of every human being or even create life.* Technology is always behind this making impossible…

Not All Your Interests Are Your Passion People have different interests. Most of our passions and aspirations come from our interests. But there are things that we got interested in for some reason even if it’s not our passion. **There are so many things that I am interested in. For example I got interested in taking pictures of small things in macro shots. More like a hobby but I don’t have skills in photography**. *Sometimes things that we get interested in are necessary…

Don't Be Shy: Share Your Passion To the World Two months ago I posted about an Indonesian guy who’s been doing drum covers of some of my favorite rock bands. The post was about people who have some attitude of disliking a YouTube video content without seeing the most out of it. Have a quick look here. https://read.cash/@Bjorn/life-is-too-short-to-spend-negativity-9e17263c *Do you think a drum cover of any type of music deserves a dislike when he uses DIY drums out of pales…

Ending The Pain And Suffering I’ve been waiting for Ms. Jonica’s writing prompt last Monday. Unfortunately she wasn’t able to make it due to unexpected circumstances. **But she made a short post about what’s going on although it’s quite sad. I hope her friend could still hold on despite the tragic loss of her husband.** *Anyway I still appreciate Ms. Jonica’ efforts of creating the weekly writing prompt even if we know that she has some responsibility to attend to. Although…

Kids Should Learn Household Chores How have you spent your Wednesday so far? It is my rest day and I was kind of busy the whole day for some household fixing so I just checked my account late this afternoon. *I’m a bit tired and exhausted. I just did some carpentry work and a little mixing of cement for some house renovation. Yes, more like construction working but not as extra income. Just doing some repairs at home.* **My hands are tired due to wood sawing and cement…

A Place To Stand To Move The World When I was working at a publishing house as an offset printing operator, I used to read books, magazines and any printed materials. **The company I was once connected was publishing quarterly magazines for private schools in Metro Manila and textbooks as well.** There was once a booklet I printed with several inspirational and motivational content. I can’t remember anymore who the author was. **I was inspired and motivated by one of the…

Fear Is Not The End Of It I was walking on the street, met a few people I know, then confidently greeted them then I just realized I am completely naked. **That was one scenario from one of my dreams in the past. It occurred not once but several times.** **I always mention in some of my posts that I do get some of my stories from my dreams.** In fact I have completed two journals full of dreams I wrote. Before I met my wife, I used to write down my dreams. *So I always have…

Making Life A Little Less Complicated **These days, technology is responsible for the rapid increase of devices, gadgets, tools and equipment for offices or households.** **These devices can be easy to use and often we tend to use it without careful understanding of the product or more likely disregarding the manual.** **Manufacturers also are making portables or on-the-go devices for more convenient usage.** However, some of these devices are more likely disposable. Due to…

Techy Tips: Lowering Your Water Consumption At Home Eighteen thousand pesos water bill for the month of June. **That was from my neighbor’s water consumption last month and she was complaining. My neighbor has a sari-sari store and it is located separately from her house. It has a separate meter for both electric and water system.** I heard her talking to another neighbor about the sudden rise of her water consumption at her store alone last month. Her water system in the…

I'm Not Perfect But I Keep Trying There is no such perfect relationship. No perfect couple either. As the humorist said, there is no forever. **Seriously, why did relationships break? Why do married people separate? How do we make relationships last to make it forever in our hearts?** Another relationship had ended, another couple just separated and another family was recently broken. **It’s kind of sad hearing the news about this event in some people’s lives.** Especially…

Who Am I BTS is a Korean pop band with Park Jimin as the lead vocalist and dancer. Ed Sheeran is an English singer -songwriter who is popular too for his songs like “Thinking out loud” and “Perfect”. **Are you a fanatic of some celebrity, singer, artist or group of popular people? Do you know about their personal life? Are you stalking them?** I am a fan too. I have admiration also for some artists, particularly music artists and Hollywood actors. **Most people are admiring…

Can We Just... “**My English may not be good but who cares?**” (*I always wanted to insert this in all of my posts but I do not want my articles to turn sour because of it)* How are you guys doing? I hope everyone is having a good time this Monday. I have nothing more interesting to talk about for you today. However, for the past couple of days I have been reading posts from some of you on this platform and it’s causing too much chaos. I will make this post with plain text…

We Are All Successful I was trying to continue my drafts yesterday after I posted my sentiments to a certain event. **I am looking forward to those people involved should** ***bury the hatchet*****.** The story I was trying to write was about time that has been lost or vanished or something like frozen time. It started like, *“One day the Earth stops revolving around the sun. It doesn’t rotate on its own axis either. Even the moon was stuck up in the sky as you saw it. What…

Is It Luck Or Just A Result Rainy days are here and some parts of the country are already experiencing floods even for isolated rainfalls. **If you are living in Metro Manila, it will eventually happen even if it is not yet the rainy season. I guess this has been a problem in some larger cities, even in provinces.** It’s my rest day and I am enjoying it as always even if it is raining the whole day. It’s just that I wasn't able to go round with my bike because the rain was…

The Free Unlimited Browsing Technique The first 3G phone I owned back in 2009 was the Nokia N70. At That time Nokia phones were leading and the N70 was kind of versatile. **I was working at a publishing company back then and the compensation was not that satisfying. I could not even buy a brand new Nokia 3G phone.** I bought the device from my girlfriend's (now my wife) uncle for only Php2000. By the way the device was capable of video calling via data connection because it…

Play With Starting Small I have been sitting in front of my PC for almost an hour thinking of what topic to write for today. I just don’t feel motivated to create another post. I just don’t know why? I don’t think this is a writer’s block because I have already typed forty seven words and one hundred ninety three characters excluding spaces. A **writer's block** is not the difficulty in creating a topic to write for a period of time. *It is the lack of focus and not being…

Regretfully Yours **I wish it never happened. I wish I had never met her. I wished I never did. I wish I never said. If only I could turn back time.** **Have you once done something bad in the past that still lingers in your mind? Have you met a person before who turns out to be a mistake and still haunts you?** In the past we have experienced bad situations be it failure or mistake. Sometimes these circumstances are still flashing in our minds that we wish it should be…

Faith Healer: Santigwar The title seemed odd to you if you grew up living in one of the larger cities in Manila. I have been thinking of creating a post about “**Santigwar**” since last month until I finally decided to write an article with a very valid reason for you to believe. For those living in different provinces I know you can relate to this particular of those communities in remote areas. So without any further ado, let’s begin with a brief story of where the word…

Little By Little I was trying to have a goal of building some abs in the past years. It’s not that I wanted to attract some girls by showing some muscles but just to have some good shape. **I always wanted to go to the gym to build some muscles but never have I tried not even once.** Sometimes I plan to just buy a set of weights so that I can just do it at home but still I can’t make a purchase. I also tried those video tutorials of building a muscle without using any object…

Sharing My Work From Home Experience It’s been sixteen months that I have been working from home and I have just renovated my home office for the third time. **When I started for an office job six years ago, I sometimes thought, can we at the Workforce department do work from home set up.** *There was one particular department at the company who was allowed to do work from home whenever they couldn't report to the office for certain circumstances.* Sometimes when the weather…

Hard Habit To Break **People have habits. Whether good or bad habits we have to end it for some reasons.** **Do you have bad habits or vices? How did you manage to control it? What did you do before you decided to quit?** **Let’s talk about bad habits first.** What do you think drives people to do bad things over and over? Consider simple mannerisms. Three week ago, I posted about filming myself talking about the current teaching and learning process. It was a part of the…

Transceiver Devices Technology has brought a lot of good things to humanity. However it can also bring destruction if used in a wrong application. **Do you like technology? What was the most recent electronic device you purchased? Was it for yourself, for your family or for someone?** Some people don’t like technology because I think they only see the dangers it brings to humanity. However technology has been part of us ever since our great scientist and inventors have made…
