Kayumanggi. Pasensiya na at ginawa kong sepia ang larawan, pero bagay naman sa tingin ko, lalo na at kayumanggi naman ang kulay ng balat ng mga mananayaw ng isang Filipino folk dance.
Bihira na tayo makakita ng nagsasayaw na ganito sa mga paaralan. Ang mga batang ito ay high school na nagperform ng Filipino folk dance sa field demo sa paaralan ng aking mga anak.
Ang aming anak na lalaki ay nagsayaw ng “Sayaw sa Bangko“.

Am smiling like crazy reading this article about the 4 Mistakes People Make in Fighting Ab Flab.
1. Parking in front of the TV. GUILTY! I love watching my favorite TV series in internet TV. Sometimes even if I have to read tons of articles like health conditions, diet pill reviews and the current fitness program for an online work, my attention is diverted to my favorite TV series or online movies.
2. Stressing out. GUILTY but am NOT GUILTY eating the munchies when I’m stressed. Really.
3. Diving into that bread basket. GUILTY depending on what kind of bread there is. Warm bread is pretty much a favorite and with cream cheese, I’m a happy camper.
4. Munching late at night. ME? I don’t think so. Oh, hubby, can you please not eat all those garlic peanuts and save some for me? 😀
Oops, were not having peanuts tonight, that was last night, we are having flaxseed crackers now. And two mugs of coffee shared between us. Argh!

Is it the end of blogging as Social Media and Microblogging sites gain momentous popularity?
Let me rephrase that, is blogging so 2006, said with emphasis on soooo and with rolling eyes? (this was the year I started blogging, LOL). Did people lose their passion for blogging?
Should I get my tumblr account then? I already have a Facebook page for my teacher blog and am thinking of doing another Facebook page for my other blogs. Nah, probably not yet but if blog traffic don’t improve, I might do that soon, if only it drives traffic to the blogs. Real traffic and not spam comments.
Years ago, when bloggers were still a source of honest-to-goodness-unbiased-and-not-given-freebies-and-tokens-to-create-buzz-marketing reviews of everything from restaurants, products, resorts, colon cleansing, spa, hotels and products and services, blogs were revered.
Now, people are more discerning and can sniff a real review from a not-so-real one. I’ve got people asking me about this because they’ve read the same contents in blog posts from one blog to another.
Netizens, especially the younger generation have too little attention span to read or write blogs so they love the 140 character status updates of Twitter -> to please follow me there: TeacherJulie (why, they even make this as a public announcement for friends to avoid spending on sms, 😀 ), the status update in Facebook and the reblogging and copy-pasting in Tumblr.
I’d stick to blogging. For now.
I was probably one of the few hundreds to view this video of Maria Aragon Lady Gaga “Born This Way” cover at 300,000 + views last Wednesday or Thursday and now this has more than 6 million views! Wow!
Maria Aragon, of Filipino descent born and raised in Canada, is making us proud. But for me, it doesn’t matter if she has Filipino blood or none, she is a joy to watch.
In the other video at the radio station when she cried while talking to Lady Gaga, I felt like crying too 😀
You got a long way to go young lady and I hope you do get to enjoy what you love to do with your feet firmly planted on the ground.
