Blog romantic not a blog pragmatic

I am crazy having my blog visible and entrecard has proven that my blog is gaining audience. So if you want to donate those points I am willing to accept them so I could advertise in those expensive ad sites.

Blogging was my way to get rid of boredom when I worked in the Sahara, since Iam not so used to it my first entries were fotos, but looking back they really speak so much of my state then more than any words and I could still feel the sense of ennui whenever i look at them.

My concern though is that blogs these days seemed so much focused on earning rather than expressing yourself. Well tides of change, online journaling/diary writing/blogging has taken a new face.

Social network ought to be monetized so people have to have lots of networks and should belong to all social networks, quantity is supreme over quality, well that is the case now. But still I do believe that it can be made more virtually up close and personal.

Blog romantic not a blog pragmatic here!

Well put. I immediately click through overly monetised sites. Ultimately many of these will fall over when people realise that there is only so much you can do to monetise your site if you have crap content.

Happy Birthday Buddha!

Well my blog is becoming a foto blog. I can't resist but capture the colors and scenes around after the dreary, snowless, and cold winter is a profusion of colors and the freshness of greens. This is the scene at the park now. Colorful lanterns adorn the pathway - to enlighten seekers of truth, maybe? Trees are full of flowers soon they will disappear. But, they are here to stay a bit to be offered as bouquet or tree of flowers for Buddha on his birthday. Flowers and Lanterns at the 518 Park

LP -Mahalagang Regalo: Mata

Kagabi nanood ako ng concert para sa selebrasyon ng 60th Anniversary ng Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Humanga ako sa mga bulag na nag-perform ng drums. Bagamat hindi sila nakakakita matalas naman ang kanilang kakayahan tumugtog ng drums. Subalit gawa ng kanilang kapansanan hindi nila nararanasan na tumangkilik ng ibang bagay tulad ng ganda ng isang larawan o kaya malasin at danasin ang kapayapaan dulot ng magandang tanawin. Kung kaya't malaking pasalamat nating mga litratista na kaya nating tangkilikin ang magagandang bagay o kaya i-capture ang mga larawan na nagdudulot sa atin ng kasiyahan.
