How to Gain More Blog Email Readers?

Okay. Now, here's a situation where most bloggers can relate to. You've been blogging for quite a long time now, but the thing is, you still don't have that much blog readers. Your feedburner tells you that you only have, for instance, five (5) blog readers, which is very much depressing on the blogger's part. Here's another thing where your visitors per day won't even surpass a month's calendar. You felt that you are so tired of blogging, you can't even type a word anymore. Is this the end for your blogging career?

No Blog is an Island

Really! Blogging is supposed to be an interaction between a reader and the blog author. The thing is, the blog author writes, the blog reader reads then subscribes if he/she wanted for more updates. What keeps a blog alive is the readers and of course, aside from the comments the blog author receives. Seeing a feedburner button's number jumps everyday is such a wonderful experience to a blog owner, right? But yours... it's not really happening! You tell yourself that you suck at blogging... BIG TIME!

"Come Closer" by Rico Blanco: Close-Up Commercial Song!

Still remember that song from the latest Close-Up Commercial? The one with a girl blowing soap bubbles in a public market and then a guy approaches because he was somehow blinded with that soap bubbles that the girl blown? Apparently, I like the background song... and I am loving it!

I was actually shocked and amazed at the same time when I first heard that it was Rico Blanco, former Rivermaya band member and lead vocalist, who wrote and sang the song for the commercial because it sounded so foreign! Really! And that's a compliment! If you are not familiar with the commercial, below is preview of it and the preview of the said song with lyrics at the bottom.

Close Up Commercial: Come Closer (Full version)




It was reported that Rico Blanco was hired by Unilever Indonesia to compose the theme song for the Close Up Commercial. It turned out very good, I think the Close Up Commercial is now being shown all over Asia! And because of this, the song that Rico Blanco composed is now being heard all over Asia! Woohoo! I'm loving your song, man! Mabuhay ang Pinoy! Below is the lyrics of Come Closer by Rico Blanco.

Come Closer Lyrics
by Rico Blanco

Come closer
Come closer
Come closer to me now
Cant wait any longer
Come closer to me now

Ah hoo what you do to me x2

I can feel you in the air
When its like youre everywhere
And the world can disappear
Just as long as you are near

Your smile is my whole world
Come closer to me now
Ive waited forever
Come closer to me now

Ah hoo what you do to me x2

Now you got me in your spell
Its the best Ive ever felt
Feel you breathing in my soul
Cause I know youre heaven sent

Take all of my senses
Come closer to me now
Ive got no defenses
Come closer to me now

A hoo what you do to me x2


A-hooo... sorry I still can't get over it! I'm really loving it! Hehehe...

To be green or not be: that is the question!

In my attempt to do a Shakespearean poetry for our science magazine, here I am posting a self-made environmental version of the William Shakespeare's famous poem "To be or not to be", but this time, it's nothing like the original version — the length, the rhyming words, the stanza, the metrics — nothing very much alike!

The poem that you will about to read did not make it in print. I decided to change the supposed poem to something more essay-ish. But luckily, I kept this poem as remembrance of how I am not-so inclined with poetry and with the environment. Hahaha... By the way, I put a picture before the poem itself to have a Zorlone-ish feeling about the poem... Nothing personal... hehehe... I hope you enjoy reading this! Hehehe...
