Signs Of A Blogger

Antagal ko nang inisip magsulat about this. Ngayon lang ako ginanahan. Haha. This is based from my own observation from myself and to some bloggers I know na din. So sariling konsepto ko lang ito ha. Pagpasensyahan na.

What are the signs of a blogger?

How would you know if you're with a blogger without knowing that he or she is actually a blogger? Here are some tips I can give to you...

1. Obsessed with Images. Ang blogger, lagi yang may bitbit na camera. Either a digital SLR or just a phone with camera. Because they want to capture the image they want to put in their entry. It's for creating that picture in your mind when you read their story. Instead of seeing them enjoying a scene, a view, or jumping to their food once served, mapapansin mo nakalabas ang camera nila taking picture of it. They love documenting things.

2. Notepad. Either an actual notepad or a digital one using their phone or iPads, they usually write down notes of specific places, names, translations, street or building address so they won't forget about it when they write an entry. They don't normally write about everything. It only serves as a reminder for them. Minsan, maririnig mo pa silang papaulit sa'yo yung gusto nilang marinig para makasigurado. Minsan, tinatanong pa ang correct spelling.

3. Collector of things you would not expect them to collect. When bloggers forget their camera, or their phone, or they have nothing to write on, they normally take things with them. Usually, they collect items that they want to write about, or it has something to do with what they will write about. Minsan, you'll see them collecting tissue papers with something on it, or it has something written on it, a piece of a weird and interesting junk, an old coin but has a unique characteristics, or a colorful stone.

Or minsan, without the 3 things I mentioned above, you would observe a few characteristics na pwedeng maging taglay nang isang blogger. They are normally observant. Matandain din sila nang mga bagay na nakikita at naririnig nila. Yung memory card nila sa utak, upgraded ang gigabytes. Ganun. Tapos magugulat ka, kung ano yung nangyari, na-document nila from start to finish. Or kung ano yung sinabi o kinuwento mo, na-translate nila in their own version.

Bloggers are the silent writers of this world. They write without expecting an audience. But they capture and document what's happening to the world, or to their world. Mostly, bloggers use this as a way of expressing themselves. Yung iba, outlet nila ito, or sometimes, stress reliever. As some say, not all have the enthusiasm to write. But real bloggers are rich with that. They enjoy putting their mind into writing. Their imaginations and creativity are well exercised.

So alam niyo na siguro ano ang itsura ko pag kasama niyo. Kung hindi may kinukuhanan nang picture, may sinusulat, or may kinukuha at tinatago para iuwi. At pag kausap niyo ako, makikita mong nakatitig ang mata ko sa bawat sinasabi mo sa akin. At kung may nangyayari sa paligid, makikita mong umiikot ang mata ko para malaman ang lahat nang galaw at eksena. Madalas nga, binibiro ako lagi nang "Uy! Wag mo i-blog ito ha". Hehe.

Ganyan si Von Viajero. Isang blogger. Simpleng blogger. At sabi nga nang mga matatanda, "basta blogger, sweet lover". LOL.
