nothing to write?

Tweet

There are days when I can’t think of anything to write, like right now.

I can categorize my blogs into personal and informative. I have two personal blogs and this is where I write my most inner thoughts as well as the daily happening in my life. The info blogs, I have 8, are niche blogs where I share information that I myself have just read or learned. More time is needed to write a single post on my niche blogs compared with my personal blogs. For my niche blogs, I have to do some extensive research so as not to give wrong information to people. My personal blog, all I have to do is recall the things that happened to me and voila - new blog post!

As I've said, there are days when my mind goes blank - can’t think of anything to write. So what do I do when that happens? For my personal blog, I turn to twitter and read my previous tweets. There was a time when I tweeted about a certain book that I read  and it gave me an inspiration on what to write.

For my information blogs, I update my iPod’s news applications and sync it to my Read Me Later app and I’m good to go - even without WiFi connection. My favorite news apps are Pulse News, Flipboard and World News.

Do you have days like mine also? What do you usually do to solve the my-mind-is-blank-today problem?

twitter apps that i love

Tweet

I use different twitter applications on my iPod Touch. I rarely use it for tweeting new blog posts because Windows Live Writer does the job for me. It automatically tweets newly published posts, complete with hashtag (like if my blog post is about the PSEi, #PSEi is included on the tweet) and url link to the post. Will explain further on a different blog post. So back to the twitter apps that I usually use...

I love echofon, I get to stalk conversations of other tweeps. And it automatically gives notifications of new mentions and DM's, no need to open the application first. Good search results also for users and @ mentions. Easy editing of following lists.

UberSocial is another favorite. Because one: it has twitlonger and two: the Uber Channels.

 

My newly downloaded iPod twitter application is TwitBird. Twitlonger, emoji, url shortener, hashtag search, and it can fetch and post the music on your ipod's song list and whatever music is currently on. And lots of other apps on this awesome app!

They say twitbot is the best twitter app there is. But it's a paid app, I'm not that into twitter, so not the app for me.

What twitter application do you usually use? Any favorites?

Willie Revillame, good person?

Tweet

I have a friend who works at TV5. He's with the TV5 Kapatid Foundation team. He posted on Facebook, a few weeks back, that Willie Revillame is in CDO and is apparently giving away 2 million pesos to flood victims. That's his status, that's his wall, he's entitled to idolize and be amazed with Willie. I can't help but leave a comment though. He of all people should know, that money didn't come out of Willie's own pocket. But the way he wrote it, he's giving the impression that the 2 million is from Willie's personal fund.

I was doubly amazed how there were a lot of comments applauding Willie's generosity. Oh well, that’s how Pinoy's are, so fond of idolizing the wrong people?

Strict Mommy

Tweet

As much as I don’t want my son to hate me, I also don’t want him to wear eye glasses yet. Last time I had my eyes checked, wanted to know if I need reading glasses already, doctor said I still have a 20/20 vision. I’m already 35.

 

My son is only 10 years old. And I’m worried that too much television, computer and handheld games will destroy his eyesight early on his life. So yes, he can hate me now because I know he’ll thank me later on, in the near future, for being a strict mom. Less time from using the above mentioned technology is being strictly enforced in our house. When I say less time, it means none-at-all during weekdays and 3 hours only on Saturday, Sundays and holidays.

Do you have rules like this in your household?
