bloggeroo @bloggeroo (2167) • Philippines 29 Apr 13

Blog Your Story and Your Something Else

bloggeroo @bloggeroo (2167) • Philippines 24 Apr 13

A story is the ideal topic for a blog, but blogging our own story may not be the best idea in the world. So, adding something to the mix may just be the solution. But it requires a bit of dexterity to blog this plus that and get...

Thesis Statement is a Bottleneck

bloggeroo @bloggeroo (2167) • Philippines 24 Apr 13

Writing About Food Was Fun

bloggeroo @bloggeroo (2167) • Philippines 23 Apr 13

Writing about food was more fun than I originally thought. Using food-related words in an application essay reminded of the time I composed a love letter just using programming terms. My client was quite happy with the essay even...
