John Roy - Abenaza - BlogMy web site is so fresh. The paint is still wet, but stay tuned, because I have lots of personal things, specifically about what is happening day-to-day, that I will keep updating daily.

Did you experience waking up and thought your just having a dream which is not? Well I got one. But its not a dream, its a nightmare! Early in the morning here in my brother’s place, there are so much noise that’s why when I woke up from being startled, my morning became a nightmare. My ate Mary Ann always says “Ang ingay na naman! Kala mo sila lang ang nakatira dito” (Its so noisy. They thought that they are just the one living herein.). Okay I’ll introduce you to my “Nightmare Neighbors” but I won’t use their real names because it might offend them. First is the singing frog, Pat. He is a guy ( I don’t know whether he is really a guy or a gay, but probably he is a gay). Every morning he is used to sing same songs. Wait did I mention he is not good in singing. Yes he is not. That’s why singing the same song all over again makes me so irritated. Can you imagine, from 8:00 to 9:00 he is singing the same song with the same voice again-and-again? And during afternoon he’ll go to repeat the song again! One time my brother said to me to lend him a new CD for him to sing a new song. Then I replied” Why lend him? That might cause another trouble. Why not try to break their CD player for them not to play the song.” And also when he and his sister plays badminton in front of our house he is so noisy than a girl. He screams like a girl. OK next is Mrs. Forky. She is a 52 years old woman, she lives in front of Pat’s house. Why am I annoyed with her? Because she laughs like there is no more tomorrow. You can hear her laughs many times a day. Her laughs can be heard from our compound to the outside world. And then I became really annoyed when she and Pat sing duets. Its like there is a storm coming, thunders rumbling when they sing together. OK the last one, the most Nightmarish Neighbors, is the Team Ink. Why Team Ink? because they are so many living in one house. Based from my observance they are 15 in the house. There are many reason why I am annoyed with them. First, early in the morning when they start their motorcycles in front of our house, the engine will wake you up. It is so loud its like when you are in the first floor sleeping, you will  woke. We say why start in front of our house if they can start in front of their own house? Second, in a peaceful afternoon, while you are having some silent moments an unpleasant sound will disturb you. They have a machine here which make the unpleasant sound. Again, like the engine’s motor it is loud or I should say 2x louder than the engine. With all of those disturbances, how can you start your morning good? How can you deal with them? Any suggestions?

Q: When do you start blogging?
A: I started pro-blogging since March, 11, 2008.

Q: Whats the reason you started “pro blogging”?
A: I started pro-blogging because of boredom. I had nothing to do at home, my computer won’t accommodate my online gaming needs so I had to look for other things to get myself busy with.

Q: What are the benefits of making blog?
A: The benefits that you can claim from having a blog is limitless, it depends on the efforts that you exert. You can make friends.You can earn money.You can create yourself an online reputation and be well known.For me, the benefits that bloggging brought includes but is not limited to the fare to attend WordCamp Philippines and Mindanao Bloggers Summit and of course the free food at blooging events. (w00t)

Q: Is there any blogger that you idolize or admire? if there why?
A: There was one, it was the blogger behind nikkypals.com. She was a female blogger and had a great authority -during her blogging months of success-. I always wanted to surpass her, because she was a female blogger, me as a male blogger (and supposed to be the superior one) wanted to be better than her, someday; and I eventually exceeded her achievements.

Q: I know since you start your blog, you already gained friends, is there any one of them who you treat as an online best friend?
A: There is one, though she isn’t blogging very much, she can be found at taraii.co.cc, her name is Iway and is from Cebu.

Q: How did you start gaining so much readers?
A:  I started in May 2008 when I gave away two free domain names to readers who subscribe and engage discussions on the blog. giftedprincess.com and mindscream.net which both expired. I tried hosting the same contest for a couple of months and gave away my last domain, sugardrop.net during the last quarter of 2008 and had a subscriber count of 900 subscribers because of this. it just went up and up and up and currently is at 1,400 subscribers -which is nothing if compared to the big names in blogging.

Q: Is pinoy teens your 1st blog?
A: It’s the first blog I pro-blogged but I had one a month or two earlier which was on kevinpaquet.com -now parked- where I wrote all but personal stuff only and can’t be considered much of a pro-blog.

Q: How much do you earn?
A:  I earn an average of not less than a hundred dollars every month from Adsense SPs and other make money online opportunities.

Q: How much traffics do your sites get?

A:Traffic wise, Pinoy Teens as-we-speak, has a total of 664,557 visitors since we started recording in May 2008, had a traffic spike of 61,000 visitors last May 2, 2009 and has a average unique visits of 1,154 per day in 2008 and 2,587 per day for 2009.

Q: Last one what is your advice tho those people who wants to blog and to the aspirants?
A: Blogging is not about Making Money Online, blogging is about sharing your ideas, information and voice out your concerns. Or keep it as a log book of events in your life. Earning is a by-product of blogging, while the instant product of it are the posts you share.

My interview with him is so fun. While I am chatting with him, I began to knew that Kevin is a friendly type of person. He is a person ready to help especially to bloggers who have some troubles. Well thanks to Kevin for being the first person on this category. And also thanks for his time. Catch you guys later

Well last night when I am thinking of my blog, I thought of a new idea. Why not make a new category about other bloggers and their world. This new category will feature some bloggers and their work. This is also my way to meet friends here in the Blogosphere. Well I hope you like it.

Making an article is not an easy stuff. There are factors you should consider in making one. Following those might enhance your creative skills in writing.

Choose and Research on your article
In choosing an article, be sure to to find an interesting topic. That doesn’t need to be the latest. As long as it suits the time when you will publish it. Like writing about someone’s success after he got another or about a famous writer from the past or anything you’d love to write. Once your done choosing, your next task is to gather information. An essential tip in writing is being knowledgeable. If you are knowlegeable, you can make it more interesting for the readers and make it more detailed.

Read other related articles
Try looking for other articles which is likely similar to yours. In that way you will know other additional information. This is also a better way to know if you forgot to write something or you have written something wrong. You can also try reading some comments. Beacause some of it contains suggestions and ideas which you can take as a reminder in writing. It is also good to know what to expect others might say to your work.

Have Originality
Be sure not to copy others. Like copying their titles or copying what is exactly written. Having originality makes someone unique to others. Because he doesnt need to copy others work. Its ok if you got the information on others just keep in mind that you should know your limitations. One way of acquiring originality is adding something you can be known for. Like adding some humor on what you are writing. In that way readers would knew that the article they are reading is yours, originally yours.

Making an article is a challenging task. It needs some hardwork and knowledge. And a little tips to back you up. So in the end you can say “I did it!”.

In an interview with Alec Baldwin last May 12, 2009 on the Late Night Show with David Letterman, he said that he would love to have more children. He also said thinking of geting Filipina mail-order bride or a Russian one. With his statement he made some Filipinos angry. One of them is Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla. He said in an interview that there will be a fight if he saw the actor. Another group of people became angry with him are some of the Philippine Woman Rights Group. They said that he needs to have a public apology for the words he said about Filipina women. This is just one of the many incidents of discrimination to us. Like the insult of Teri Hatcher in the show of desperate housewives about medical practitioners from our country and the article of Chip Tsao. If they think its funny its not. I don’t know why they do these, maybe they just having fun. But why us? We Filipinos are known for our hospitality to others especially to foreigners so why do these to us if we are kind to them right? These insults proves that there are still people who thinks Filipinos are incapable of doing great things. We do our best to do well in terms of learning, working, entertainment, government and empowering oneself. We are also capable of doing great things like in fashion and sports. With all of our efforts and success, I hope one day they won’t look us with discrimination but instead with admiration. I know that day will come.
