Philippines Freelance Copywriter

In about a couple of weeks from now, I will be fully working as a full-time copywriter. As a freelance copywriter, I intend to put into good use all of my experience writing copy for both the Internet and the print media. I am particularly more experienced in writing articles and a few ads and advertorials. But I also want to dabble into writing sales letters and other marketing collaterals.

As a freelance copywriter from the Philippines, I know have both some advantages and disadvantages from other copywriters in the western hemisphere. One advantage is that I can afford to charge cheaper rates because the cost of living in this country is not that high as in the United States. On the other hand, one disadvantage that I foresee is that some clients would think that my English grammar or writing style will not be as good as those who are natural, native English speakers. In that aspect I of course completely disagree.

I write and think in English. I am a graduate of Journalism from a school wherein English is the primary language. All of my writing experience are for the English language. In my own right, I am a capable and well-experience freelance copywriter.

Collagen Cream Fact

I have been hearing about collagen cream products but it was just recently that I’ve read that collagen is not effective to be applied on the skin. Why? Because collagen molecules are too big to be able to penetrate the skin. That is why topical application of collagen has other purposes, and not what most people think it can do: add more collagen to our skin.

How can we add something that cannot go through the skin in the first place? However collagen cream are not without any purpose. At least it is capable of moisturizing the skin, as the collagen can hold on the moisture and keep it on the skin for a longer time.

Her New Blog

Nhil has started a new blog which is under her name: www.NhilOcampo.com.

I’m still not sure what she will be blogging about. Maybe it will be a general topic blog as she has some of her own specialist blogs. As of this time, there’s only one post there but she said she will start to regularly write new entries.

Of course I wish her all the luck with her new blog and maybe it would be one of her most successful blogs, whatever her meaning of success is.

It’s 2010 Soon

I couldn’t believe how fast time can really fly. It seems like it was just yesterday when we were first laying down the plans for our wedding and now, it’s already a year that has passed. Now we are wed, for three weeks now!

A few days from now it will be 2010. The number seems too futuristic and something that you would just read on a sci-fi story. But here it is… or soon here 2010 will be. I wonder what it has in store for all of us.

As for me and my wife, I hope 2010 will be the year we will have a baby.

My Other Blog Is Already More Than a Year Old

I didn’t realize it, but when I chanced upon looking at the archives of my other blog, Papa Ces, I just realized that it has been already more than a year since I started that blog.

‘That’s great’ was the first thing that entered my mind, but also not so great because that blog, although I enjoy updating it, has no coherence or no niche that it works on. Maybe someday I can think of a niche that I would like that blog to focus on. For the meantime, I’ll just let it be a hodge-podge of anything that I’d like to post.

It’s Always a Good Idea to Eat a Healthy Meal

But can you do that on a regular basis at home?

Most of us, especially those who have hectic work schedules, seldom are able to eat nutritious meals. People would often opt for fastfood fares of hamburgers, pizzas, ramen noodles and other starchy, greasy, and sugary foods. Do you think if we continue living that way we can expect to live a long and quality life?

It is important that in our homes, we eat the right and healthy food. Choosing the best ingredients is just part of it. Making it a habit to cook healthy meals and eat at home should always be a priority.

It’s Been 7 Months

I can’t believe it has been 7 months since I have updated this blog. Could it be because nothing exciting has been happening into my life these past months that I didn’t even bother to post anything on this personal blog of mine? I sure hope I’m wrong.

My main reason is that I have been busy maintaining and updating my other blogs: my Sagada blog and also my website writing, SEO writing and copy writing blog.

I hope I get to revitalize this blog which I started back in 2007.

Last Day of Our Core Skills Training

Here we are, all Emerson employees, taking our group shot on the last day of our Core Skills Training.

I learned a lot from our 10-day training about American accent, pronunciation, speech, and all those factors that I need to improve on to be a better conversationalist.

Emerson is launching its School of Excellence today and I am going to attend it. We are all expecting more trainings in the following months.

Everybody, Meet Landi!

This is Landi and she’s Nhil’s dog. Landi doesn’t like me which baffles me because I’m a very lovable mutt errr… person. Why do I think that she doesn’t dig me?

That’s why. Just look at her. That’s how a dog looks at you when she has sniffed your whole being and doesn’t like what she smelt.

Actually, after I took that shot she barked at me (as she always do) and wanted to chase me away. Good thing Nhil was there to take her away.

Now this is Landi’s son. Still just a puppy. I’m sorry but I forgot his name. I was supposed to have him but at the last minute I decided not to because our place is very small and not really a good place to take care of a dog.

Anyway, this little chap is more lovable (like me). Very, very playful and keeps on chasing anything that moves (just like me!… kidding).

He especially loves playing with his mom!

Come this November, I will have my own place and I swear that I will have a dog there. I want a dog even though it scares me to death to take care of one. It’s not that I don’t want the rigors of having a dog, but it really pains me whenever a pet dies. Anyway, the friendship a dog brings is worth everything in this world so I will get a dog by this year’s end.

Chef ‘d Angelo’s Fanatics

My girlfriend and I frequent Chef ‘d Angelo’s especially their branch in Robinsons Galleria. And the usual things that we order?

Baked Zitti and Big Bird. Also, we love their Caesar Salad, Butterscotch Cheesecake and Pepperoni Pizza.

Yum!  

I know that it’s all carbs but what else can I say? They’re delicious.
