I bet you’ve noticed my new theme. I’m a frustrated writer so I’d like to publish my own magazine, even just an online edition. I really would like to thank the designer, Michael Jubel for this wonderful Arthemia theme.
With this new theme I’ve also made changes as to how I would place my posts. Twice a month I will try (yes, try ko lang) to come up with a new Headline article, sort of like the cover story of a magazine. I will also come up with four Feature articles that are related to the Headline story. However, I cannot promise that the Feature stories will be posted simultaneously. It’s hard enough to come up with one article, how much more four? So please bear with me. The articles you see below the Categories bar are articles that are not related to the Headline article.
For this month of June I’ve posted two Headline articles, Top 5 Reasons to Travel Around the Philippines and Filipino, Who Are you?.
I was inspired to write the Top 5 Reasons to travel Around the Philippines beacuse of the benefits tourism that I saw in Palawan. Some people think tourism will increase pollution and crime but when there is a balance between development and environment conservation, it’s a win-win situation. For this Headline I came up with the following Feature articles:
- Discover Tropical Paradise Palawan – I talked about the things I discovered about Palawan that made me want to come back.
- Palawan Seen to Overtake Boracay – this is just a link to an article in Manila Bulletin of the same title which I think affirmed my observations on Palawan as a tourist destination.
- Puerto Princesa: The Jewel of Philippine Eco-Tourism – in this article I identified Puerto Princesa’s major tourist come-on and why tourists keep coming back.
- Busuanga, Palawan – My Nanay Deserves Nothing Less – I know I can get sentimental when it comes to my parents. This was my entry fo the SEAIR contest which by the way ended tonight at 8PM. DId I win? I hope so but if not, better luck next time.
The Filipino, Who Are You? Headline article was my way of commemorating the 110th Declaration of Philippine Independence. I believe that we can never truly be free unless we know who we are. In relation to this I’ce written the following Feature articles:
- Ganda ng Lola Mo! – this is the about the Las Gran Damas de Negros Exhibit featuring 11 Negrense Women of Substance. These beautiful, wealthy and glamorous women of Negros Occidental were no diferent from ordinary women. We face the same obstacles so their life serves as inspiration to rise above adversities.
- The Treasure of Our Heritage – the Surigao Treasures are really awe-inspiring and knowing that they probably belonged to our ancestors made them our National Treasure.
- The Philippines is on the Hotspot – our country is blessed with natural resources but decades of neglect are bringing the different endemic species of flora and fauna to the brink of extinction
- A World Without Filipinos – this is about an inspiring article that appeared on the Arab News recognizing the importance of Filipino labor force in Saudi Arabia and the world.
In every post I write, I always put my heart into it. These articles are special to me because they are mirrors of my thoughts and beliefs. I hope I will be motivated and inspired to write articles such as those above. I hope my friends/readers enjoyed reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
