This Blog is an outlet for the random thoughts of an amateur opinionator.
What's an opinionator?
An opinionator is somebody who has power without responsibility, and the ability to spout off on any subject without worrying too much about the consequences of what comes out of the mouth. All you need is an opinion and the opportunity to voice it.
TV is full of professional opinionators. The internet gives the amateur his chance.

There has been a lot going on the word “gift” lately.
Gay will be celebrating her birthday and have posted her wish list already, Benjay borrowed the idea also, people who just came back from vacations have been doing their rounds distributing their gifts/pasalubongs, my nephew who will be celebrating his birthday on the 17th of September, Mama on the 19th and our landlady have been bugging me about my gift, and Julie who has always been nice and precious to me just gave me two baseball caps [soon to be posted, Maraming salamat ulet!].
The other day, someone pointed out to me that my blog is being read by more and more people. She wanted to know why I don’t try to monetize it. “Run ads,” she said. “Or find a sponsor, or maybe even charge for it!” That’s a lot of nickels, after all.
I tried to sum it up like this: Not only can’t I imagine charging for my blog, I’m practically in debt to the people who read it. I ought to pay them, not the other way around.
Every time you read something I write here and putting on comments, you’re giving me a gift… attention. It’s getting more precious all the time, you have more choices every day, and it’s harder and harder to find the time. I know. I’m grateful. I’m doing my best to make your attention worth it.
Gift giving comes in many shapes and forms. From the ordinary to the unique; a great gift can be hard to find. Your role in the gift giving process can be a pivotable moment in someones life without you even knowing it. Giving a gift can be materialistic or sentimental. So what are you waiting for? Share gifts, share your gifts.
I’ll be posting my wish list soon. Hahahahahahaha!!!
