Kulapo See, Kulapo Do
Friday, February 19th, 2010Not everyone is entitled to having a funny blogsite on the internet nowadays. Of course, this is NOT saying that people should stay clear off being funny once in a while. We all have our inner comedian and things we find funny, and we have EVERY right to share it to the world. But then, being funny could also equate to falling down flat. Some bloggers just have that “oomph”, while others are just trying too hard.
Well it seems Buraot has something to counter his “buraot”. Anak Ni Kulapo is the funny side of life, with some of the blog post titles reminding you of “kopong kopong” jokes which really would intrigue drive by visitors to click on them (and without any real connection to the post title whatever). And the ubiquitous, obligatory picture of the day sure to always tickle one’s funny bone, or sure to pique up one’s not so innocent mind. Be warned though - because of its rather raunchy nature, Anak Ni Kulapo isn’t for anybody who has a weak heart or tolerance for that matter. But if one doesn’t mind the “steamy” atmosphere, then be prepared for a wild and funny ride.
Anak Ni Kulapo is a regular blog (a bblog with all the official blog parts such as blog rolls, links, etc.) without being too regular, which is one of its many major selling points to those who come to chance upon it surfing the web. In the battle of the blog funnies, it is not always the one who makes the audience laugh the hardest, make their impression the longest. It’s how they project the funny to those in the humor know which makes them so, which Buraot has done in spades for this one.

Ang blog na di ka mabuburaot
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010The proliferation of blogging as another alternative to bringing the news and the views to the masses has become so that it warrants its own weight on the national conscience. However, the news and the views could only be stretched so much and made to fit the palate of the discriminating public. Sometimes even, such news and views are oftentimes fashioned to a degree that only a specific reader base will appreciate and take it to heart. It is of course how the blogger pulls his strings should it elicit approval and staying power in the blogosphere.
Enter I Am Buraot. I Am Buraot, despite its otherwise misleading title, is one of the dozens of social and political blogs out there that does not just present news and views. It does not attempt to be THE blog that everyone should read. It is, in the blogger’s own way, the presentation of his thoughts and feelings woven around current issues and philosophy that strives not to alienate his readers. Covering such a wide variety of topics ranging from religion to the environment, there never is a dull moment in Buraot’s blog. News and views are presented to the readers into something that they can relate to, and invite them to think about what they read.
Far from making one feel “buraot” or disenchanted/bored/something along those lines (depending on the situation) with what one is reading, I Am Buraot is indeed a misnomer. Taken figuratively, it may be that the author is already “buraot” with the prevailing news and views people have grown accustomed to. It is a state that we could also relate to - after all, we also are “buraot” at the current news and views and we seek escapism and other methods of forgetting. But this blog attempts to let us face the “buraot” in all of us and offer a solace from other unhealthy methods of coping. Sinu ba naman mabuburaot pa dito?
