As I said in my Plurk, I need to evolve in my blogging and that’s why I joined Barrio Siete, the refuge of all barrio folks who have made their mark in the city. It is always nice to go back to one’s roots and smell the breeze. My only mistake is that I thought we would all reminisce about all things promdi. I didn’t quite expect that we would talk about current affairs and intellectual chorva of the highest order. Napasabak tuloy ako!
Take for instance my post yesterday. Usually, I prefer writing about food, travel and other kakikayan sa buhay. I never really thought I’d go back to writing about Katrina Halili and the danged video scandal again. I had to because I need to blend in and be a trying hard social climber with all those heavyweights in BarrioCity like Reynz, the CPA with MBA from George Washington U, Cath ~ the CPA with doctorate and former dean, and other twinkle twinkle little stars (stand up to be counted na lang mga bro…. at bra).
The members are so prolific in Barrio Siete and the place is always packed with comments and posts. Not a dull moment here. If you’re a Filipino who wants to see a different dimension to present day blogging come on in. The only disadvantage is that the blog is predominantly written in Tagalog and might not be tailored for foreigner-kibitzers who don’t understand our native tongue. In that case, there’s always Yahoo or Google translator.
With all the action and reaction… mark my word, Barrio Siete will be an emerging influencer.
I mean, my votes for DigitalFilipino’s Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2009 is up soon. Masaya ito! 😀
thanks ajay.
it is also our honor to have you in barrio siete.
the common denominator of the writers is the triumph that we achieved thru hard work and determination to succeed.
Gurl! LUMAPAD ang tenga ko! At ayoko na syang bumalik sa dati! Hahahaha!
First, it’s a pride to have you in the Barrio, you know. Prized gem ba like that diamond I saw hehehe! As we all agree, we all have our Barrio Siete moments in our lives, be it a place, be it a phase in our lives where we struggled and get past some obstacles and came out on top. It’s a story to tell, something to reminisce for sabi nga… “Ang hindi raw marunong lumingon sa pinang-galingan eh nada-dapa at nale-lechehan.” Ganun. It’s Barrio Siete, our roots, our pride, our community.
And at our community, it does not follow that you can only be intellectual and have some meaningful discussions sa salitang english. Valiw lang ang mga nag-aakala nang ganyan. Kaya tingnan mo sa kaVilang Varrio, nag-FaFanaan sila. Sila-sila lang. Hahaha! Ano baaa!!! Hahaha!
Corrected by nga pala: I graduated with my Executive MBA at Fox School sa Temple U in Philadelphia. Our school is still one of the top 100 Executive MBA’s in the world. Andun ba naman si Reyna. I wanted to name drop. Gusto ko malakas ang kalabog. Para ba marinig sa kaVilang Varrio hehehe! I did went to GWU in Washington DC kaso nga I typically stay sa hotel kaya sa laki nang gasto, tinakbuhan ako nang aking fafa, ayun, natigil ako sa midwifery.
Anyway, thank you so much for your entry. Kung ano ano ang lumalapad sa katawan ko hehehe! I’m sure matutuwa ang ibang mga Konsehales dun pag nabasa nila ang bandillo mo hehehe!
You are definitely right about Barrio Siete! The site is informative and very appropriate for the bloggers of today. Walang pretentious kaya the discussions are very lively and fun! ^_^
