I WAS TEMPTED to compare my condition with those of my brother and my sister. Our present condition is like cheese and chalk. It's completely different. At least from where I see it now. My older brother is married to a woman of a wealthy family just like my younger sister who marries a man of a rich family. Their parents-in-law belong to what we can call the affluent. Money is never an issue to them, really. Chalk and cheese: very different (Credit: freepik) Those two siblings of mine, to me, have an easy life, under the auspices of their wealthy parents-in-law. It's easier for them to use or acquire something I normally find difficult. In simpler words, they benefit from having rich parents-in-law. Let's say I'm just a piece of chalk in this case. I'm married to a beautiful lady of average family. It's neither poor nor rich. But that is not a big deal, certainly. While I wanna get a better life financially, I'm not complaining at all about my life. I...

It's something new again in blogging. Another hot issue strikes blogosphere here in our country. It's about event bloggers--those who are keen on attending any events in hope they'll be receiving particular souvenir included in the goodie bag. Of course, free lunch is also a target. As you certainly know, there's no such thing as free lunch. Brands or event organisers invited bloggers in order that they write on the blog what they have experienced during the occasion instead of simply taking the free stuff. "Where school did they go to?" is an appropriate expression to refer to what these bloggers commit . They have been thinking incorrectly by neglecting the expectations of the inviters. This idiom is valid since what they do doesn't make any sense. The word 'school' in the idiom doesn't refer to any real school they used to attend. It is used to show as if they have never attended a class that they couldn't demonstrate integrit...

Today I read the status of a friend on Facebook. She was making a remark about a few topics one of which is fraud in the self-publishing industry. The owner of the publisher was said to have deceived several customers who had completed the payment but received no books they ordered. This immediately arouses my attention as I'm currently running a self-publishing house of my own. What's more agonizing is that those deceived are but bloggers to which I also belong. I'm speaking on behalf of both parties. Getting into hot water means getting a trouble (Credit: yanalya/freepik) She should have been more careful in managing her issues in the publishing business. Regardless of the victims, what she commits is likely to ruin our fellow publishers as well as tantalize blogosphere. This news should be the words of everyone very soon. An idiomatic expression goes with her case. She's getting into hot water which means she's placing herself in great danger. She's both...

Last night I was chatting with a fellow blogger about the prospect of making money from blogging . I learned that he has been doing it for a while now and that's why I need to find out how he managed to do so. He makes money from writing on his blog as well as from vlog he's producing.  Chatting late at night (Credit: storyset/freepik) While I'm not yet fond of vlogging, I was interested in digging on what he's been up to to support his family of two kids--perfectly like mine. As I'm planning to move to my hometown and find less opportunity to work t here, I have seen blogging (and perhaps vlogging) very potential to help my finance. Yes, I'll learn more from him and by having a dotcom domain I'm confident I'll be successful to produce what I'm aiming.

When someone has committed a serious mistake and finally regrets after doing so, he's likely driven to return to being good. He wants to start a new life, with more careful consideration, in order to do better in his life. As in blogging, it may not be a serious mistake for not writing regularly. But disobeying the importance and significance of having a .com blog is undeniably solid. By having a shorter domain name, a blogger will be able to have more opportunities and ample chance to develop and especially to make money from blogging. Opening a new life (Credit: wirestock/freepik) Agencies and brands naturally see the privilege of such domain to carry out a campaign or marketing activities. Paid domain demonstrates professionalism and seriousness instead of free domain that instantly evokes unenthusiasm. With this in mind, dotcom blog is imperative. Turning a new leaf as a blogger may be setting a new orientation while leaving old blogging fashion. Turning a New Leaf artinya...
