ALTHOUGH IT took me seven months to write 100 posts, I’m stil glad because at least, however busy I am, I still was able to update this blog and to do some bloghopping around the blogosphere.

In this post, I will be thanking those who have been part of my first seven months with WordPress.

(I’m afraid doing this part because I might miss those people some people.)

First, I am thanking Shari for giving me this domain and hosting package as a prize in the Wika2007 of Pinoy blogosphere. I’d also like to thank Jehz, who helped me get acquainted with the WP blogscape and the world of reviews (Sorry if I’ve been such a bother to you. ü) and for helping me cash out my first income from blogging. I’m also thanking Aethen for the lots of links and for being my blogging partner while I was in Marbel. Thanks and more power to my fellow SoCCSKSarGen bloggers, who are cooking up something great for the region, Sir Avel, Sir Hecky, Kuya Dens, BrVince, Mikko, and Richard. Thanks, too, to The Usual Suspects I’ve met, Ate Ria, Kuya Blogie, and Winston.

DUMAGUETE, HERE we come!

On April 27, we will be leaving Sarangani for a five-day YES Camp (Youth Environment Summer Camp) at Foundation University, Dumaguete City.

I and  Sir Marco will be chaperoning our students to the Camp. But there are sessions for teachers, also. So, it will definitely be another learning experience for me.

However, I have one problem: I will be shouldering my own expenses because the school doesn’t have funds anymore for the said trip. But it’s okay, I will defer my purchasing a computer ’til next month.

ALTHOUGH I don’t have my own computer and internet connection (yet), I am very eager to add yet another blog to maintain.

I have just realized that I should try to do some niche blogging concentrating on books and reading in general. It will contain book reviews, updates about books I’ve read recently, my own short stories, and, hopefully, my own novels.

It’s called Journeys to the Soul, the old title of my personal blog. That signifies my view of reading as a sojourn into the depths of the soul of the author, the characters, and my own. It is on another blog platform so that I can learn something new and so that I can make a comparison as to which platform I am comfortable with.

THE BATANGKALYE has heard many stories about the ZTE Controversy. Now, in time for the celebration of the revolution in EDSA through which Filipinos showed the world that we are hardcore advocates of democracy.

Take a short trip to Batangkalye’s blog to read what he has to say about the issue.

I WAS not suprised when I signed in to my MyBlogLog account and found this:

That is because of his post that contains a part of the result of the December 2007 Nursing Licensure Examination (NLE) or the Nursing Board Exam.

Jehzeel Laurente of http://www.jehzlau-concepts.com is probably the Philippine’s best in Search Engine Optimization (SEO). In fact, he tops the Philippines’ representatives to the SEOContest2008, a worldwide SEO competition. Currently, he is Number 2 for the keyword SEOContest2008, next to the official site of the contest.
