I-Exchanged, I Recycled

Here's an e-mail I sent to Digital Tour, a Tech TV show on Studio 23 shown on Sundays, 10:15pm. I sent this to them back in February hoping to land a 1-minute spot in their show. Since they haven't replied, I might as well recycle this e-mail I sent to Digital Tour...

Hi Digital Tour crew,

Last Sunday, I saw your first run of "I-Exchange". I thought, "Hmmm.... This is something I'd be interested in doing." ;-) . I started imagining what I'd look like in front of the TV camera. It was a horrific image and I'll spare you the gory details. But, hey ... that's just me ... meron naman siguro akong konting bahid ng telegenic-ness. hehehe.

I'd like to share with Digital Tour viewers a hobby that has been keeping me sane while taking a very toxic course at school. I'm into blogging. I could talk about getting started with blogging, but Iya covered that part last year. Instead, I hope to share a few sites that would get your viewers even more interested in blogging. Let me share with you some blogs that I look up to; blogs that make me strive to improve my craft in this blogging hobby.

First, for laughs, I'd like to share Kwentong Tambay by Jay "BatJay" David. This hilarious OFW Engineer in Singapore packs a knockout article everytime. He puts together a mix of digitally enhanced funny photos and ROTFL (rolling on the floor, laughing) articles that never fail to tickle the Pinoy funny bone. No wonder this blog has a huuuuuge following.

Second, for inspiration, I share bizdrivenlife.net by Wilson Ng. This is a blog written by a business man based in Cebu and owner of one of the biggest computer suppliers in Cebu. In this blog, he writes about how one can manage one's self in the workplace, in the technology field and life in general. When I read his blog, I never fail to pick up insights which we don't see everyday in other blogs.

Lastly, for passing time and blog hopping, I'd like to share pinoyblog.com, the emerging Pinoy blogger's portal and tambayan ng blogging Pinoys. Pinoyblog was created by Abe Olandres and blogging icon Sassy Girl. If you already have a blog, this where you should post links so that other more pinoys would read your blog. If you're blog hopping and looking for interesting articles to read, pinoyblog is where you'll find a whole assortment of blogs. Anything from politics, religion, art, pets, love or what have you, you'll find all sorts of articles here, from budding bloggers and from veteran bloggers like BatJay and Wilson.

I'd love to talk more about blogging but I'm sure I'll have limited time. I hope you'll find interest in the three sites I've exchanged. If you're an upstart blogger or one who's thinking of blogging, I hope the three blogs will somehow show you what your blog could be like.

Mabu-hey!
