- THE BLOGGER’S GRID AND A GLIMPSE ABOUT THIS BLOG
I gave rise to this blog to share the stories of my wandering feet (& mind) and photos from my point-&-shoot cameras that will promote the pulchritude of my country, Philippines (i.e., to let people around the world that IT’S MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES) which will give air to the the many “hats” I wear with whoever stumbles upon it. Also, to sharpen my communication skills. I am actually craving for grammar critics’ figurative “kick” to my grammar. Grammarians out there, kick me please!
