Blog Review: Diary ni Ella – Confessions ng Isang Masahista the Book

Una sa lahat ang hirap hanapin ng book ni Ella huh?

Siempre ang una kong pinaghanapan eh yung bookstores malapit sa amin – National Monumento Grand Central and Victory Mall, tsk wala… sumunod yung malapit sa work place sa National Bookstore SM Sucat at Santana Grove. Wala din! Finally found it in National Bookstore sa Glorietta -- sa wakas!


National Bookstore -- Dameng Books


Witty and funny, not to mention hardcore. That is Ella's story match with her story telling. Kahit nabasa ko na ito the first time nung unang lumabas ang blog nya and she was still anonymous back then, i still get that sympathy for the young innocent ella, and the respect as she develops and learned how to fight back.


She told stories and opened issues we know that are there but we refuse to look at. Scenarios so sad that we thought they only happen on movies and telenovelas. Hopes and dreams that make things possible and happen.


It might just be an entertainment story for some. But on higher sense, Ella's stories serves as an inspiration, that even on adversities, just as long as a person haven't given up on one's self, the promise is still there, and its up to us to fulfill it as well.

Blog Reviews -- Loi's Professional Heckler

Loi's Professional Heckler...
I' m not actually reviewing his blog... I am telling you visit it! :D



Seldom you will meet bloggers like Loi, all there are in his blog are his rants and thoughts. Witty and timely, all the element for high level and mind tickling humor. I have nothing but praises for his blog and I'm always excited to check his updates usually Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.

You can't really be sure how many visits The Heckler's site. He doesn't have fancy widgets or counters or whatever in his den, besides his internet daily fix and ka-blog list which are equally worth to visit.

He tackles present political issues and in a quite obscured way, makes the comic political scene light and -- comical :D.

Pure talent indeed and he never sesem to run out of creative juices. It always amaze me how the heckler pulls these anecdotes and always have something new to say.

Politics can sure be dirty, but with Loi around we can at least laugh while trying being more serious cleaning it.

Blog Reviews -- Ella Ganda's Confessions

Nasubaybayan ko ang blog ni Ella from her number88 days. The fresh entries of her first career, what pushed her, the joys, the pains, the boundaries, the entrigues, everything you would like to know about being a masseuse.


number88 -- sexy, senti, smart :D

"it’s a dog eats dog world..."

She was able to integrate sexiness and cleverness in her stories. Hindi naging bastos ang mga kwento nya kahit "okra" at mga "talong" pa ang topic. One can't help it but be curious ano nga ba ang nangyayari sa mga maliliit na cubicles na yon.. And she made us saw it in a different light, in sordid details even. What i found more graceful about her views is that she never had a hint of self pity... She complains, swear even, but in the end of it all, she took action and ultimately changed her self – and transformed her life.

From number88, na-excite din ako nung makaalis na sya sa massage parlor ni mr. minola, at makalipat sa isang hotel. Although masahista pa rin sya dun, i personally thought mas ok na yun kaysa dun sa mr. minola guy. She eventually earned her degree and quitted being a masseuse all together, wow -- the promise of true education!


ella ganda.com -- woman empowered!

Having her own domain ellaganda.com, marks her graduation from being masseuse -- and becoming a freelance writer that suits her so well. I really appreciate her lifestyle articles, and you can't imagine how well travelled she really is. From Amanpulo, Boracay, Disney Land, I can't wait to hear her next trip and her experience in that place. When she tells her story, she tells it with an enthusiasm of a little girl -- and criticizes for points of improvement.

Isa pang kapansin-pansin kay Ella eh ang kanyang mga well presented opinions and convictions. Remember when she gone ballistic against Malou Fernandez, Mike, and the Writers of Desperate Housewives? She presented solid points plus angst words you would not want to be in the receiving end.

But what I find most admirable about her is when you converse with her, kahit hindi pa kayo nagkikita is that warm welcome feel -- as if you're talking to a friend. I have requested one or two articles from her, and I am just glad whenever she gives her two cent about it.

Para syang kapitbahay mo na may uwing souvenir from a vacation, kaibigan mong hopeless romantic and an empowered woman you would not want to mess with.

Hinihintay ko pa rin ang paglabas ng libro nya, and hopefully mapa-autograph din... Nyah! For sure Starstruck moment yon! Ü

Blog Reviews -- Pheeb’ s Instant Pakulo

To Start the week positively… I’m now starting make a review of blogs I frequently visit and came to like. So una sa list si Pheebs! Yey!

Nung nagsimula akong mag blog, wala akong ka-ide-idea kung pano ako magkaka-audience. Siemps gusto ko rin namang may magbasa – or maka appreciate din naman ng mga sinusulat ko (hindi man maraming audience, at least may maka-appreciate din). Ang iniisip ko eh kung san nga ba nanggagaling yung ilang mga forwarded mails – tulad ng ibang pinost ko dito. Sino ba ang nagpapadala ng mga ganun? At sino ang nag-aabalang mag gawa on the fist place. So I tried peddling some of my works sa bobongpinoy yahoo group.

There I also get to prove na hindi nafo-forward yung mga works ko :D wehehe (Pa-deep kasi minsan eh – boring naman haha!)

Pinalad naman na may bumisita – dyaran! Si Pheebs! Ang una nyang blogsite eh ang Tangakoh.


Tangakoh -- Machong Senti

Besides the blogsites of my officemates now I get to appreciate a new site! May halong kalokohan, sentiments at fiery youth talents! Yan si Pheebs para sa akin, in a way misnomer and self destructive ang name na pinili ni pheebs para sa una nyang site. Dahil una ang wits na prine-sent ni Pheebs is far from being stupid. She describes her world in a quite funny manner but stupid? A big NO! Siguro what I find quite disengaging on her first site was the sad-serious ambience of her template tapos yung tugtog pa nyang makabagbag damdamin. Tapos ang kakulitan ang pinagkukwentuhan nyo?!? Nyahaha! Nakakabaliw. And to think she is only on her highschool days… overflowing with talent indeed.

Pheeb’ s Instant Pakulo – is her new site right now. Twice as wacky, pero mas less senti. And here, you can read her still more crazy positive outlook to life. Natatawa rin ako sa ginamit nyang blog name “Instant Pakulo!” haha parang gameshow scenario a…


Instant Pakulo -- Umaapaw~~!

“Anak ng pating… anong gagawin natin bored na bored na ako! Nagawa ko na yung mga reports at templates – ayoko naman nang magbasa ng review notes buong araw. Gaaah! (*batong-bato)”

“Wag ka nang mag-aalala eto na ang sagot sa bwakang boredom mo! Nang hindi ka maburyong!”

“Hah!?? Ano yan!”


“Pheebs Instant Pakulo!”

Lalabas si Pheebs mula sa cabinet ng kanilang laboratory tapos everybody happy na! haha! :D
Tandaan lang na si Pheebs ay nasa college na ngayon, who knows kung ano pang pakulo ang gagawin nya! In an instant! Dyareeeen!
