E-mail chats

MR. Vic Costes.. I sense that you are a BLOGGER, I respect you that way. blogging to this bulletin board is nice especially about our hometown Asingan but as what Mr. Vic Costes said as long as they are not "slanderous" that would be fine. WELCOME BLOGGER just do it! Blog - A shared on-line journal where people can post diary entries about their personal experiences.

To Mr. Arsenio Macanas: Thank you for your kind e-mail..Yes, I started out as a blogger, then I branched out as the old-time writer/journalist/what-ever-you want to call it who learned how to use the computer. Blogging is very good, sometimes it is therapeutic(pardon me if my spelling on this word is out for lunch but my dictionary is nowhere to be found), but to be a REAL BLOGGER you have to express out ( in good grammar of course ) everything and anything your mind pops out at the exact moment when your fingers are at the keyboard..Since you are INCOGNITO at that time, then heck, you can say IN PUBLIC that Mr. ABC is running around with Mrs. XYZ who is married to Mr. So and So who seems to be in doubt about his sexuality.Or say I am getting sick of this world, too much crap in it, let me blow my brains out so I can get off.Or some other stuff which you want to shout out in cyberspace... But the Asingan Bulletin Board has its rules; we must post something which is safe even for a 12-year old girl to read. Which is good.Somewhere in the clutter of my hard drive, I still have those bits and pieces of my Blog..Do you have one too?..The best way we can do is to use hyperlinks which we can leave in the Pang.Org so readers of the Asingan Bulletin Board can access to our Blogs without using much of its precious space..Some Blog entries can take several pages you know! Anyway before signing off, I'd like to know if you are related to Brigida Macanas from Cabincolan..She and I belonged to a certain church club in the 60s in Asingan..In the meantime, Happy Blogging!

To Vic Costes: So you are the professional blogger! That's good for us. We could learn from you and I can learn from the "Pro blogger". I am just a little guy from the corner. I will not even consider myself as an amateur blogger. You are right blogging should be in good grammar "in any language" but in my opinion not necessarily a very good grammar. The thought, good sense, believable entries is okey, doesn't it? I understand as a pro like you are it's sensitive. Of Course that is your profession that's respectable, but since most of us here are "INCOGNITO" doesn't matter anyway. Brigida Macanas Daroy is my Aunt. She is already a widow. Her husband Wellie Daroy pass away last year. She's living here in San Diego. By mentioned can't find the word from dictionary probably out of lunch?

Hi Arsenio..I think that word does not show up because the spelling is really bad!! Sorry about that!! Nobody, including me is perfect in Spelling..But I will try to look for that @#$%^ word until I find the right spelling...Sure I will be happy to leave a few tips on blogging..but it may take time,... You know blogging is like writing a diary, just be sure the diary is interesting to read..If you think what you wrote is interesting, then for sure other people will like to read it..Sorry to note that WRITING is a dissapearing art/skill during this era of cellphones and computers...but we should not let it dissapear..I can tell by your sentences that you are a GOOD WRITER too ( takes one to spot one ) Just keep on writing as much as you can... I hate Taglish ( potpouri of English and Tagalog ) One should either write ALL English or ALL Tagalog..The text habit is also "corrupting" some young writers now..They seem to use shortcuts in text as acceptable writing..This is what I mentioned about "correct grammar", but whatever you say, people will still write the way they want to write...Am sorry to hear about your Aunt Brigida..Say Hi to her if u call her once in a while..She has a nice voice before..I think they are good friends with Flora Cisnero also from Cabingcolan.Saw Flora last 2003 when Belo Malala took me to her house in the subdivision....We belong to the same choir in Asingan..Anyways, thanks for your e-mail..til the one comes along!!

Hi Arsenio...A good BLOG ( Web Log ) is nothing else but good writing. Good writing is nothing else but good communication. Good communication is nothing else but sincerity in what you are saying and effectively saying what you want in writing which brings us back again to writing which is the first topic. It appears to be similar to a dog chasing its own tail, never stops until the dog is tired. A writer ( once you are into it ) will never stop writing until he is finished with his story/article/essay or novel. A good writer must be a good reader too, a good observer and a good conversationalist. From these varied experiences come the ideas that sometimes you are compelled to express out in writing. Maybe you want to do it as a Blog..This is like writing on a building's wall because passersby will read it..Or you might like to have a private diary for your thoughts which you may or may not like to delete when the right time comes. Sometimes writing is a good therapy esp. for the lonely, the disabled, the isolated. I started writing when I was in high school at the Rizal Academy. In our first year classroom, there was a list of the students and a bar graph in front of each name showing how many books they have read. At the end of the year, you can easily guess who has the longest bar! Then there was the theme writing notebook. Every month you are asked to write an article to be finalized on a theme notebook which the English teacher corrects. You have to write it in either black or blue ink. She corrects it with red. My themes in First year English got very high marks and I became the favorite of the teacher. One time I wrote my theme with red ink and she corrected it with blue and she never got mad at me for bresking this rule! WITHOUT KNOWING IT, I WROTE A BLOG ENTRY!! Have a good day, Arsenio!
