I spoke with Paul Chan, my elementary/high school mate, over the phone.

We talked about the forthcoming JJLHS Alumni first general assembly on July 9, 10 a.m. at the Judge Juan Luna grounds. It will be hosted by JJLHS batch 1992 but, the 1978 batch should also attend the said assembly.

Then, we discussed about my personal website. He didn't liked the idea that I posted my personal life online. Instead, he suggested that I blog something that will invite people to visit my blog. He even cited an example of a young teenage girl who created a website and posted her interests and favorite things to do. Until she gets popular and her website gets a million hits per day. She then added advertisements in every page of her site that help her generates income. That's incredible, I had between 500-750 visits per day and cost me over 900 PHP a month to maintain this site! I added google in my side bar menu but it does not get enough clicks to give me handsome profits.

Paul suggested that I switch from personal to general and add interesting stuffs like food I eat, places I visited, politics, etc. He even asked me why do I post my daily personal life online? And I said, I blog because friends want to know something about me. It's very tiring to type answers everytime someone asks "How are you" or "What's up" questions everyday. I want people to know the real me without any pretentions nor hidden drama in life. Besides, I had been forgetful lately. Blogging them reminds me about it. Sometimes, I sound stupid, sometimes depressed but, the most important thing is, I enjoy blogging...
