Getting Started...Again...

Finally! I somewhat finished my blogsite. Well, about 85% finished? Honestly, blogging's not that difficult. From the extremely well-versed individual to the slowest bloke, anybody can write. He/She may or may not make any sense with whatever topic they're writing about, but still anybody can write. Want to know the hardest part of setting up a blog???

Thinking of the best blog name and URL for your blog!

Most advisable way to go about naming your blog is to think of something that would best describe the content you are planning on posting on your site. That's why most people end up limiting their blogsites to a specific topic only (i.e. travel tips, photojournals, food reviews, etc.) to make it easier for themselves. That's why I had a really stressful time setting up this blog. I wanted to take the unconventional route of writing about just about anything, from the most mundane of topics to supernatural phenomenons, or what have you. But this "unconventional route" proved to be a lot harder than I had expected it to be. So here's what I came up with.

What's with the Title?

"Lakwatsero" in Tagalog is a slang term for an individual who enojys going out (on a trip, to the mall, to meet with friends, etc.) that has gained a negative connotation to it through the years as someone being a truant or something similar to that nature. I would rather be classified as the latter as I am someone who enjoys trying out new things, going to new place, discovering new cultures, etc.

"Kalbo" on the other hand, is the Tagalog translation for a bald person. Although, technically I can be considered as someone being "semi" bald. Haha.

So being a "semi" bald person who loves to go out, hence the title, "Lakwatserong Kalbo."

What to Expect

I think all topics have been made the subject of online blogs already. So trying to think of a unique format for my blog was a seriously tedious task. So to spare myself of the unnecessary agony, I finally decided on focusing my blog on my own intersests. Basically, I hope to make this blog an informational tool for most followers/visitors on topics mainly on, but not totally limited, to food, travel destinations, photography, and culture in the Philippines. I'd like to share my experiences as an avid traveller to others in the hope of giving valuable input and advice on these targeted topics.

Tips on Reading my Blog

As an additional feature to my blog, I would like to make my entries a little more interesting. I'll be supplying you readers with my ratings on applicable topics. The following ratings would be used:

1. Peso Power - Was the money shelled out worth it?

2. Amor - What are the chances of me trying it out again? What impression did it leave on me?

3. Over-all Rating - Obviously, would rate the experience as a whole.

All ratings will be at a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being the highest.

I guess, that covers the basics of my blog. If you do have any suggestions or comments, I would love to hear from you guys. In the meantime, enjoy browsing through my blog.

Thanks!
