Know How to Save More through the Electrolux Savings Calculator!

POTATO ON THE GO NEWS FEED (Internet):

Doing the laundry can be a daunting task for most moms. Not only is it time-consuming, it can also be very costly in the long run. Weekly water, electricity, and even detergent consumption may seem small and negligible, but when pooled together in a year will surprise you how expensive it could get. These household expenses can be a big consideration for someone who is saving up for a trip abroad, a brand new car or her kid’s quarterly school tuition fee.

Electrolux, a global leader in home appliances, brings you the Electrolux Savings Calculator in Facebook.  A part of the recently launched Delightful-E Simple campaign, this fun Facebook app will help you calculate how much you spend on your weekly laundry based on number of family members, average weekly laundry load, and how you usually wash your clothes. After tracking your expenses, the Savings Calculator will show you how much you can save in a year when you use an Electrolux washing machine.

And the journey continues...

Last week, I was contemplating of stopping the blog already because I somehow got tired of a lot things -- time, traffic, disturbing incidents and difficult people.  But I stumbled upon this post by our CG lead Lawrence:

"The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."
Happy Tuesday! #TuesdaysWithMorrie #ChooseDayWithMorrie #MitchAlbom #CGchooseDayCycle14

And it woke me up.  Why give up something that gives me purpose and allows me to reach out and affect people in a positive way.  The obstacles I mentioned above should not stop me for doing something valuable for me and the people around me.  Just like in stories, we need the antagonists right? :) Hehehe.

So now, I revisited why I blogged in the first place - to squeeze my creative juice and connect to like-minded people.  And I unearthed all the memorable stories, for me and my readers, that I chronicled, for the last 4 1/2 years.

Tweeting is not wrong; Cyber Bullying is!

PAGE VIEWS:

I guess we already are aware how powerful social media is.  It can make and break people.  But even before the digital technology came in, communication, where social media is a part of, is such a powerful tool.  That's why the quote "The pen is mightier than the sword." was crafted.  So whether it's verbal, through the use of traditional media (print and broadcast) or through the new age digital channels, communication is one slow burn nuclear weapon.  In short, tweeting can also be the new form of chismis (intrigues) or character attack. 

I am writing this to express my opinion on the recent controversy on twitter where Philippine actress / singer Sharon Cuneta (also known as the Megastar) and her daughter KC Concepcion (who is also an actress) were bullied on the Internet.  Actually, the words thrown to them are really below the belt but what really dismayed me is how people reacted and expressed their opinion on this matter.  I read comments saying she should not be on twitter, twitter is not for her, bawal ang pikon sa twitter.  What kind of reasoning is this?

TaDi turns 2; launches 3 new blogs!

Indeed, time flies fast when you're having fun.  Suddenly, I just realized, Tatak Digitista (TaDi) is already celebrating its 2nd year anniversary!  :)  And TaDi (together Write Breathe Live, The Rod Magaru Show and Orange Magazine TV) went all the way to Baguio to celebrate this milestone by covering and sharing with you the 2012 Panagbenga Festival!
