I've been going to the office for the past few weeks now. Although I'm only required to report on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. And the hours are shortened; from the usual 8:00 in the morning until 6;30 in the evening, it's just 8:00 in the morning to 3:00 in the afternoon. We're provided shuttle services, of course, I can't imagine using the public transport for now.
I haven't been writing much lately. Not the usual reason that I had before. It's because of YouTube. I've been trying my hand in vlogging and video making. You know how it is.
I can't really compare the results with blogging since I no longer have a hit counter. Perhaps I should put one in again. My channel is pretty small. Just a couple of hundred subscribers. Slowly, it's growing. Not in a very fast rate though. But still, a growth. If you want to check it out, you can click here, and please subscribe.
Vidio making has it's challenges. Writing something, for me, is a lot easier. I can write something with just for paragraphs and it's all good. But that doesn't translate well in video. Those four paragraphs would probably be just a couple of minutes long. For a video, I'm going to need gimicks. With more than 60 videos in, I'm probably getting the hang of it.
However, today. I was on a live stream. And the people on that stream told me to continue writing. You know what, they were right. That's why I'm here. Even though I know that my readership is probably as low as heck, this is what I do best. This is the best way I know to express myself. I'm still not giving up on YouTube, don't get me wrong. I'm just going to continue writing.
With that being said, Love and Peace.

Blogging on the Road
There are a couple of perks of mobile blogging. First. You can blog anytime. Second. Anywhere. Your ideas turned into blog entries in an instant. No time-elapsed editions. Trust me that happens to me a lot.
Not having a mobile device for blogging is not a downside for mobile blogging. Nor having short battery life nor limited gadget features. If you don't have the hardware, Mobile blogging just doesn't exist for you.
I originally wrote this entry using my phone while on the bus earlier today. However, the publishing was interrupted by the one and only dreaded downside of mobile blogging. The ERROR screen (or any screen display that says that you have just been disconnected, had connection errors, the page you requested is unavailable, or the like). When that happens, everything that you have painstakingly typed using your cellphone keypad or that tiny QWERTY keyboard is gone for good. Unless you made use a software similar to Notepad then you're still good to go.
It goes without saying that with mobile blogging, it is best that your mobile phone (or any mobile gadget you use for blogging) be equipped with a note taking software. If not, you can always use the text feature (SMS, MMS) of your mobile phone. This would serve as your back up just in case an error in connection would occur.
If in case you still don't have any of the above mentioned, you can always use a voice recorder or good old pen and paper. Then encode your blog once you get a better signal or to an actual computer terminal. However, both of them are still prone to time-elapsed editions. At least you still have your original idea in tact.
As for this blog post, it has already endured 12 hours of time-elapsed edition with no voice recording or pen and paper. I can't even remember some of the lines I originally planned on putting in. Anyway, a post is a post is a post.

N.B. Don't get me wrong. Connection errors also happen even if you're not on mobile blogging but it doesn't happen as often. Plus, there are tons of word processing software to use as back-ups.
