It’s been awhile that I have started blogging for my personal blog.
Using the social network as posting my blog daily means I have to take sometime and effort to put up a blog of my own.
10 Guilty Pleasures
EATING
When you’re in diet you forget to discipline yourself in eating. You tend to eat more and break rules. At the end of the day you are guilty of eating up instead of trimming down those foods.
DIETING
You regret overeating just because you we’re treated by friends to eat. And you forgot your promise to diet.
TWEETING
Privacy is becoming less priority, what you do, you tweet. It’s becoming your guilt of pleasure even though you want to play safe. Can’t do that because you’re already publicizing your errands.
FB POSTING
-You post unnecessary things without realizing who’s interested or not. You just want to express. “What’s on your mind” matters regardless of who’s reading it and what they think about it.
NEEDS AND WANTS
-When salary is up and coming or allowance. It’s the winner vs the want that looses. Since you have all control of your money. At the end of the day, your WANTS win.
In psychology, you are mind setting your own mind to try grab things that gets your wants. Unease stuff though.
FASHION TRENDS
-This gets you offset because you want to be always in trend. Fashionable in a sense, being a social climber was never on your list. Still discontented with the life you have now. It’s not getting better unless you need sometime off.
The guilt pleases you a lot.
MONEY
Money can buy you anything. Craving for buying stuff. Crazy on buying the latest tech can’t get you enough pleasure. So here’s my tip for you, get off sometime to plan on your money. Budget your money or else you’ll up taking the guilt.
RULE BREAKER
There’s no rule to break unless you intentionally break them. Rules are meant to broken. Even your own rules, you break them. All you have to do is listen from people around you. Believe me, they know what’s best for you.
Avoid taking the consequences of GUILT.
CHEATING
Unendingly, cheats a lot to relationship, exam, diet, time, self, and everyone around you. YOU CHEAT!
There are consequences to such actions you may not want to disappoint people. If you want your guilt to please you more. You are welcome to do it.
MOVIES
You regret movies you wish you didn’t watched on a Friday night.
RELATIONSHIPS
Regretting those past relationships you wished you had never let go of…
So these are just list of 10 Guilty Pleasures, you (Yes! You) take this seriously or guilt will take over you.
How Women Use Social Media
Social Media is a great influence to women especially “WE INTERESTED WITH MEETING NE PEOPLE”. A woman with great taste for meeting up people has been the social life stream of US being around at all times.
Gossiping
Women like gossips but for certain topics like “Boys”, “Looks”, “Social Life” and “Things that Keeps Us Interested”. Not only that we see to it the positive and negative about people. We’re not being too judgemental but we take advantage of the social network to meet up with new people. Depending on the brought up of that person.
We also love to hang out at places where we can chat with our girl friends. Places like coffee shops with internet access, parks, malls and hangouts.
Photosharing
We like to share photos with our friends. This keeps us updated with our lives. We like them to share with our friends, families and
Chatting
We like to chat with friends at all times. Definitely on phone, fb chat, g+ chat, google circles or any forms of social media we can grab in.
Basically we like to connect with people depending on our own terms.
Posting
Posing on walls, blog posts, status, tagged and such, its what keeps women like more about social media. Women are social beings. They like to keep a structure of ideas to keep guys, friends and families updated about us. What we do, what we like to do and what keeps us motivated everyday (which isn’t a bad thing).
Spreading the News
“What’s New” is our favorite tagline.
Women are favorable about what’s new and what’s not. Interesting, tweets about it, posts about it and talk about it. We like to talk off a thing, that’s what makes us in favor of our social stuff.
Social Media
Its more than what we can ask for, sharing about our lives. We don’t butt in other conversations. We keep our privacy on things and we keep matters at top most of our priorities.
We tweet about what we think everyday; we post it, blogs about it and talk about it more with our girl pal. If men are interested or not, we just tweet more about it.
If I were Advertiser Today
I’d be probably doing marketing plan, to make up for the company penetrating their products in the market.
I’d be doing advertisements, posters, marketing consultations about outputs of our designers or employers.
I’d be posting ads in my facebook status which will be hilarious because I don’t do that a lot. I might as well be running on heels with companies who would want their products to be advertised. I might be doing teachings on branding concepts for the branding industry. Depending on how things will work with me as the marketing strategist (some sort).
However, branding with the enhancement of social networking is fast paced and crazy hay. It’s a whirlwind of changes moving around fast. If you can’t catch them then find them. It’s a competition between company’s big players in companies battling over who’s who to get the goal.
Even the top competitors in the market would want to beat the biggest names in the industry. Hiring talented people marketing, doing this and that, would be a twist from my career.
This is the work of most advertisers. They look on the big changes they would want to put seen by people, heard by people and acknowledged by people. A lot of convincing strategies to be done right ahead on a fast going environment.
As an advertiser, you should think and act quickly, summarize all the contents needed to be ahead of others. Its not even easy to market though.
(Google +) versus Facebook: Which Do You Think is Better?
Recently, users are now confused with the new sets of changes happening in facebook as fb users are deteremined that there is something going with both social networks competing both platforms. Though we all know that both social sites are trying to set new changes for the UI (User Interface) timely.
Some liked it but majority didn’t liked the new sets of changes in the Facebook.
Here’s a look on some changes on both sites:
google + facebook
Google + Interface FB Interface
Ticker – Recently Added Ticker
Chatbox – Changed the Fb Chat version
Freeze Pane – Recently Added Freeze Pane
Google Circle – Added Friends List
User Migration
Many users are now migrating to Google+ from Facebook. Due to the changes Facebook puts on the users interface. Creating a confusing environment for the users. Changes are adaptive but too much causes users to migrate.
Competition
Fb is threatened by the potential of google+ to penetrate in the social media livestream. And competing twitter (Sadly, I’m no Twitter User).
Complementing on the user enhances capabilities of its interface. Facebook is trying to cope up with Google + but right now it has been more complicated features due to the adapted concepts of google +.
End Note
Google Plus is giving more features that’s easy, fun and simple. In which users would like the most. On the contrary, FB is fast pacing in changing a lot of features to go after Google plus.
Photo sharing
Google + is more enhanced regarding photo sharing. It has drag and drop features which will be easier for users to add photos while in facebook there are two options to choose from simple uploader or multiple uploads. Tagging friends in photos.
Friends
In facebook, they’ve tried adding friends for the better through add as a friend, with its new feature, friends list (similar to google circle). Yet Google + has google circles where you can drag friends and add them on your circle automatically.
Facebook has many complaints regarding its newly added features from the concept of Google + which is confusing though because they’ve been after the competition. They’ve tried to eliminate some old features and they’ve added new features from some of their competitors.
Now, its up to you which social network would you want to belong? Like or dislike.
Technology Empowers Me
Technology lets me do things the quickest, finish things off ahead of time and make gets me going on with my life. But guess what are the things these technologies that really empowers me to do things.
Social Media
Social Networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and Google + keeps me on the go with my social life. Keep updated with my buddies, school project, work and life. It’s great that whenever I bring my work on projects and stuff I get to be connected with my friends always.
The hard stuff in social media is that it gives you less privacy but as a user or owner of such account gives me a responsibility. Keeping my private and personal information is my responsibility. ID theft is everywhere. So beware!
Mobile Phones
I wanted to keep up to date with the school stuff so I hooked my phone on the web. This empowers me to become more sensitive with the information I get everyday.
Blogging Everywhere
Since I’m a writer in the making, I wanted to blog everywhere I go. Right now, my mobile phone is my best buddy in my everyday needs.
Internet Accessibility
Probably without my mobile phone, I wouldn’t be able to set off internet access elsewhere. Its great to have connected at all times.
Shutterbugging Habits
Still relying on mobile phone I do mobile photography and hook them up on my social media accounts. To keep you posted with my recent shots. I’m also a photographer in the making.
Technology is a big advantage for moderndated people like us. People who are inclined to the development of our economy, society and people. Stuff that gets us going. Keep up the best work.
Creative Mobile Photography
If you’re an aspiring photographer (like me), try practicing on your own mobile phone. Never deprive yourself in mobile phones. Everybody’s not limited to learn creative ways to improve in photography.
Even professional photographers, they started with digital cameras or camera phones. Eventually in time you’ll learn the right texture in photography. Though professional cameras cost more than you cannot afford, just be creative and never stop believing you can’t do things just because you don’t have those cameras.
Baby steps at a time helps a lot. So here are tips that will improve you’re photography skills in your most creative ways.
Technical Aspect
Consider the capability of your phone specially in MegaPixels either it is 2.0 MP still its ok to take great shots with that resolution. Mostly Sony Ericsson Phones produces good shots. Also, consider the angle, range of zoom it can cover and its color texture. You don’t want your shot to be wasted.
Black and White
Turn on the effect of your phone in black and white if you want your scene to be dramatic. Consider the exposure it is capable and the light it receives from its environment. See to it that if you’re going to take shots. Expose your phone for few seconds in the light
Polarized Effect
Use polarize effect if you want your shot to blend in with colors that looks like a negative. Choose a color that matches on the mood if you’re taking shots on people and places.
Motion Blur
Motion shots are effective for moving objects. Consider photos with movements, running person, jumping, hurdling and the angle. You don’t want your shot to be destroyed by some sort of inserts within it.
Light
Unlike professional cameras like Nikon d90, they have sensors that receives light. When exposed you have to set a time exposure for it to blend its light. For mobile phones, they don’t have sensors so they automatically receive light without setting its limit to the light exposure. Be careful in your environment. Consider it.
Note:
It’s an advantage to learn the basics of photography before taking it to the next level. Keep your composure in photography and don’t forget to have fun. If you want to learn more talk with professional photographers. They can give you great tips and lessons.
Recycling Ideas in Creative Ways
If you don’t want to waste money on buying stuff then try recycling. It’s a recreational way to develop artistry and practically rather than buying stuff. Recycling resolves your house space especially when you live in an apartment, condo or have your own home.
Paper Art
Make use of Paper as Art. Its better to make use of used paper creating an art.
Paper mashes are simple yet creative. As art it can be a poster, mug, cup or pencil case. Depending on how you define creativity.
Paper is simply recyclable because it doesn’t have an exact shape. It can be formed in different shapes and sizes. Mostly you’ll get a lot of used paper in offices. It can be artistically created as a necklace just like vintage necklaces made from paper.
Lights Made out from Tubes
Throwing up incandescent tubes can wound people especially when thrown away, elsewhere. But if you think there’s an idea you want to add up in your living room.
Try tube lights. Its simple and adds vibrancy in your room space.
Bulbing Up Lights
More bulbs lighting up! You don’t have to buy a P1000.00 worth chandelier to have one. Instead collect all your used up bulbs to create one that looks like this. Be more conventional. Its better to be practical in a more creative sense.
Ballpen Chandelier
Ball pens are easily thrown away oftentimes when we no longer use them. Although its nuisance we save some to create a chandelier to look like this one. Its good to make it more appealing than saving up for junk. Instead collect ones that appeals the most. And you won’t regret doing it.
Lamp Blender
Its difficult to imagine that we don’t regret on throwing away used blenders without realizing their recycling purpose. If you want to create a more modern idea on how to use up things. Try recreating a blender lamp. It adds up luminosity within the kitchen.
Always Remember…
Be creative, resourceful and be an idealist. If you want to save up, take these tips which guarantees you more opportunities. You can open business for this one.
Noontime Shows: The Good and The Bad
- image: google.com
As part of our culture, we dine in the table with food, family and TV. Without Television we can’t enjoy our meal, discussion with our family and the food. Noontime Shows help us improve our relationship with our loved one as well as strengthening our communication with them.
Are we concerned with the quality of television we are now having?
It’s okay to say that television gives us information expounded by the media.
If you are to consider the type of economy, social, culture, society and people we have. Its an eye opener to know that quality of television is degrading as much as it affects the viewers watching it.
Reviewing most of the tv shows that we have today. Simply they are truth behind the NEWS, the information relayed towards the viewers but what I’m seeing is the opposite.
I’d name 2 tv shows in one network station that I’d like to state as examples on my review.
Happy Yippee Yehey – The Bad

Happy Yippee Yehey – The Bad
The show is terrific yet it lacks the capacity to pull the viewers to learn something out of it.
Yes- Celebs are popular
Yes- The show is a hit as a replacement for WOWOWEE
Yes- It’s entertaining
Yes- They no longer profit from advertisers unlike WOWOWEE (Advertisers are very profiting from that show).
Yes- The show doesn’t have a clear point at all.
Yes- The show might now last a year.
No- It’s boring because it doesn’t have meaty (Educational or learning) contents. Wowowee is different, it’s a unique show because it portrays the real life of a Filipino, a reality we shoud face. The show is about entertainment so it portrays a message that goes says “Enjoy our show and forget your problems”. It’s part of reality, we face our problems.
No- It’s degrading because there’s no quality in the show. It’s plain entertainment.
Showtime – The Good
Showtime – The Good
The show is pulling off top of the top ratings at noon but its not my point. The show is more than entertainment because it’s a show for young people to be inspired.
Yes- Its inspiring dancers to keep dancing and may head off to a new venture.
Yes- It offers a lot of new opportunities.
Yes- The people within the show creates new ideas to make people laugh
Yes- It’s a venue for new opportunities. Dancers who are aspiring to be part of the industry.
Yes- Aside from its entertaining, the show not only focuses on dancing alone. It gives people a chance to share what they’ve been through.
No- I can say no negative comments to the show.
Therefore, aside from entertainment, as a viewer, you have to understand the show itself.
Every show is a product of an idea. Whether it is good or bad, you have to understand your place as well.
Traits of an Event Organizer
Organizing events is a real deal to perfection. Sometimes you have to be a perferctionist in order to gain a terrific event. Depending on how you jumpstart things, the way you plan things reflects on your traits and characters.
Also, organizing is a habit you create in part of growing up. You develop organizing skills as trained by your parents. The way they raised you reflects on how you grow up. Step-by-step you tend to learn these things partly as a learning experience.
Eventually in time these skills became your asset. By asset means earning money, a passion and profession as well. Don’t think twice if you have these skills. It’s good that you’re mostly likely to be organized by yourself but before we conclude you are truly organized.
There are list of traits you need to consider before we conclude you are an organized person.
Time Management
Being able to manage time wisely means you need to take multiple tasks in one setting. It’s a go or go NO. People expect the event to be on time because the participants or audience do arrive on time. As an event organizer, you see to it that everything is checked, arrives on time and deliverables should arrive as ordered. As much as possible be conscious with the time.
Good Communicator
Creating a strong team that listens to you, you should be a good communicator. You have to encourage them, keep them on track of things and be understanding as well. A good communicator needs a lot to digest for his team to listen. Be person you can trust your team, who believes on them and rely on your own skill set to do what they can do.
Detail Oriented
It may be a project or a task but you have to be specific, a person with keen eye for details else the event will not push through. In order to keep things tracked down, you have to be meticulous to check things, one a time.
Creatively Solve Problems
When things tear apart, as a manager, you have to keep things on going even in cramming situations. Even in the most difficult part of your life. You have to face them. Creative enough to fix things in an orderly manner.
Staying calm
If you are soft hearted and cannot undergo rough situation then this article isn’t for you.
If you are strong, competitive and daring to do these things, read this article. This is healthy to read as an event organizer in the making.
“Grace under fire”, keeping your temper is a secret in succeeding an event. In every tacky situation, keep your composure. You meet variety of people. Therefore, you have to adjust, move flexibly and think that you’re with them. Don’t forget to keep your words on your own.
These are just few of the traits you need to keep if you want to pursue becoming an organizer someday.
