My friends and I were so eager to start a new business venture but due to our busy-ness, we had to hold off for now. Even the website looks kinda sad and neglected, like the group blog. Sigh.

With Christmas fast approaching, this has to be shelved for now but I know we will resume our talks as soon as we have spare time.There is still so much to do:

• apply for business permits
• write company profile and objectives
• submit to web site directory/ies where we hope someone will take notice
• draft a plan with long-term and short-term goals

For now, we just write down our ideas to be discussed once we sit on the project and allot time for it to develop.

Yes, I’m cooking up something new and I’m excited.

I hope I can keep up with all the online sites I currently have.

But, but… I have to be doubly hardworking and stop going to time-stealer sites like Plurk, Facebook and Twitter. Not that active in twitter but I just love reading the links of the news agencies I follow.

Last night’s research on several health issues like tuberculosis, Mesothelioma, viral diseases and bacterial diseases for a Biology project of my daughter was interrupted by reading a deluge of angry status updates of blogger friends who blog about the food they cook.

I knew I shouldn’t have opened my FB to take a peek.

Over at Facebook, my food blogger friends (and I) are furious about a scraper / plagiarist posing as a chef who just copies recipes and photos of others and posting them as his own creation. His titles are: “MY ________________” when in fact, it was “my copied recipe (verbatim) and photos”

Hmph!

Of course he wouldn’t be the first one to do that because there have been others.

I saw this article from CNN.com re 8 Feel-Good Websites to Brighten Your Day

I rarely read blogs that have negative blog posts like rants and personal experiences and complaints.

I admit, I myself do rants, especially about our lack of proper water delivery services aka Maynilad’s no water service but since that is an ongoing saga, I think I can rant all I want. Yeah, we have water from Maynilad, 2 pailfuls this dawn, after a week of none coming out of the faucet. Heh.

Anyway, it is such a joy to get “lost” in a virtual world where one feels positive and happy. Who wouldn’t want that, even for just a while?

I attended the iBlog6 last Friday and I met new blogger friends.

There were a lot of people from the advertising industry on the day I went because the first day dealt with the business side of blogging.

Of course, they were not selling custom travel mugs

They were there to “pulse” the bloggers and to learn how to deal with bloggers or ok, the “new media” or “online media” to some in terms of business deals and events where their products and services are featured and bloggers are invited.

The venue was not filled but I still didn’t get a shirt from so many that were raffled off It would have been nice to have a collection from iBlog3 till iBlog6.
