This post is dedicated to the men, women and gays who are constantly attacking my other balay, Barrio Siete.

You inspire me to make this very timely tribute.
Within the next few days, I will be celebrating my 3rd anniversary since I created this humble blog and I thank you for your continued patronage. Without you my dear readers, I would be nothing and my colleagues in Barrio Siete especially La Kapitana wouldn’t have noticed me. I have learned a lot from blogging but the most important experiences I have had so …

BLOG is defined as “usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries” . wikipedia
People have different reasons why they blog for the same reason that people have different realities. But I am not interested about other reasons why they BLOG. I will speak for myself and I suppose some if not majority of trying-hard bloggers share the same reasons with …

When the recession started in the United States, may businesses knew that good days are about to stop for awhile. Many lost their jobs, small businesses closed and corporate gorillas started a series of layoffs which disturbed the flow of credit.

Bilang isang blogger, naiisip mo ba ang mangyayari sa blog mo kung ikaw ay pumanaw na? Considering that for some of us, our blogs are our life and represent something we’ve worked hard for, did you ever think about having a Last Will and Testament kung saan ihahabilin mo ang iyong blog para patuloy pa rin na published ito kahit ikaw ay wala na? It might sound morbid I know, pero isa minsan ito sa mga iniisip ko. My blog is a legacy to …

Do you agree that Barrio Siete is not a blog? If so, then, what are we?! Me nag-email to me. Said he: Barrio Siete is not a blog. Huh?! So, kung hindi kami blog, di mga kling-on kami? Hahaha! Charing lang! Eto laman nang telegrama nya:

Nag enjoy naman ako basahin ang article ni Rob. Napakagandang introduction para sa mga taong gustong mag blog. Gusto ko lang ding i share sa inyo mga ka baryo ang mga natutunan ko at mga naging katangahan sa mundo ng blogging.
Sa totoo lang nag umpisa akong mag blog dahil gusto kong kumita ng pera. Ganun lang kasimple sa akin noon. Ang una kong binuksan na blog, nakiusap pa ako sa isang kabigan para ayusin ang lay out at palitan ng template. Tuwing maririnig ko ang mga salitang …

Now, there’s one Barrio Siete reader who wrote a very nice social climbing entry for da barrio that I would like to share to you all.
