K lives in Hong Kong, who loves music, homes & architectures, movie trailers and all things . My life in this city project a lot of things - it’s all about the taxis, the billboards, the sidewalks, the cinemas, the zebra lines, the lights, the cars, the sounds, the people, the skyscrapers and the shopping malls.
Where are you from? “The Philippines. A country of eastern Asia consisting of the Philippine Islands, an archipelago in the western Pacific Ocean southeast of China”.
Why did you move to Hong Kong? “I moved here since 1990 after my college graduation. My parents sent me tickets for a week holiday and eversince then, I have stayed and work here”.
Is this a web log? “Personal blog. I started since 2003 as far as I can recall. I started at Blogger.com. I called it my first web diary and since then I’ve been switching url’s but people tend to follow the links and it’s still grinning”.
How would you like to die?“Peacefully, when the good Lord is ready to call my number.”
What is the idea of your perfect happiness? “A great person when everything comes together: the family, the friends, the work, the health and God that loves me everyday. It’s what makes me want to keep of who I am and what I am in this world, believing that He loves me everyday.”
What do you consider the most overrated virtue? “Patience. Well there are many people with very bad attitude and you can’t just say something back until you feel like you want to explode.”
What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery? “Racism and Poverty. Sadly, while things are better for many, there are those who still suffer the indignities of both. Until we find a way to fix these problems, there will always be unrest in our society and our world.”
Who are your heroes in real life? “The everyday people who get up and go to work, feed their kids, and try to do the right thing.”
Most valuable possession: “My family”.
Quotes: “God helps those who help themselves.”
And because of blogging…
1. My morning cuppy makes me feel good everytime I ran into my computer until a point where I feel sick and throw up at my keyboard. If I am going to be sitting and waiting for my wifi buddies to show up like late evenings, I started to drink like two to three mugs. However the more I drink, the easy for me to feel really sleepy.
2. I use to read my Sunday horoscope just before I start to write what’s in my head. For some weird reason, it helps me express more what I feel than what’s in my head.
3. I bought a digital cam to appreciate the skyscrapers and the streets, the bus, the road and even the things I don’t normally appreciate. I started to learn how to be a photographer and fantasize the things around, if only my eyes were a camera.
4. I slightly got obsessed with trackbacks and links that really didn’t matter. Learning how to make use of the RSS feeds. Readers who are silent wondering what they want, how they find my url. The fact that people coming back and leaving comments is what keeps me going.
5. I discovered that there are a lot of people who, other than me are seeking similar interest. Perhaps we seek companionship (or at times, even friendship) in our blogs and build our own communities.
6. I’ve learnt to write something that surprises me than surprising my readers. A good blogger is to write about the words they feel without having to do it in person.
7. After all, even if I want to post some controversial entries (that would be my photos) I would still have to answer to anyone personally.
8. I’ve been more honest with myself than I would ever have been. But at times, I hold myself back from being too honest. I always think at the back of my head that no one really cares, so it doesn’t matter.
9. I got a free unique URL of my own. And that’s the most coolest thing EVER!
10. I shared my creativeness, albeit only in pictures. If not for the flickr, I wouldn’t think I can write my thoughts in it.
11. I’ve dreamt that I could be a full time writer, to cover everything about the latest fashion, designs and ideas on how to paint an Apartment in green.
12. I learned how to use the plugin, widgets and most of all, admired the techie guys who makes GOOD Wordpress themes and a bit of CSS stylesheet and screw it big time.
13. I sleep and wake up so late that I could entirely make up an excuse not to go to work so I can blog for more.
14. I’ve got more ‘writers block’ during Mondays and learnt that writers block is only for those who blog for money.
15. I learned that I can make a little money by plastering Ads everywhere and thought “Holy molly, this is freaking pointless”.
16. That I’d never really thought I would met some fellow bloggers through blog-linking.
17. I’m never too old to enjoy a good song and learn how to sing better with my eyes closed.
18. I really forced my self to write regularly because I believed that “constant practice really makes you perfect.”
19. I am awesome. I believe there’s a light at the end of the… building? I blog because its an outlet for my life stories that don’t get much of an airing. At least everyone knows what I’ve been up to. Singing.
20. The never ending MEME’s.
In the end, through this analysis, we go full-circle. The main reason we blog is because we love it - no matter what our underlying intentions are.
