Sweet soul review

So what are these new blog reviews I’m doing, you ask? Well it’s a little something that made me interested enough to actually try something beyond the realm of my moon blogging! Check it out here!

I am not really one who’d do shameless promotions or something if I didn’t believe in what I am talking about. Well, this contest is sponsored by one of my frieds back in my old office Kaye, who has decided that being a WAHM (work at home mom for you unsure people out there) was probably the best thing that happened to her since the invention of sliced bread, and second only to her wonderful hubby and daughter of course. Kaye’s really awesome, and her blog is of course lightyears away from this drabble I have here. Kaye’s blog if of course drawn from her experiences as a fulltime mom, wifey and her everyday struggles with her demanding WAHM lifestyle. I have experienced life being a freelance writer, and one could possibly say that a WAHM also has similar trials, except of course the added demands of being a mom and a wife. I admire Kaye, mainly she ended up doing what I have always thought was the impossible blogosphere dream - being well liked, have lots of followers and readers, and yes, sponsoring contests like this. What better way to show the world you’ve made it in the blogosphere than giving awesome contests like this as a big thank you?

Ang blog na di ka mabuburaot

The 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?
