Content Writing & Blogging

With more than 15 years of experience in ghost writing, blogging, copywriting for advertisements, radio ads, brochures, company profiles and production of anything from flyers to booklets, e-books to sales pages, I am pretty sure I am one of the few 'daring' (senseless) pioneers who dared to trudge into the murky waters of Altavista and Excite (Google that if you're younger than 30) with the courage of a boar and survival instinct of a caged animal peering at the small crack near the door.

Back in the days when the Internet was easy to fool and viewers were busy waiting for their browsers to load and HTML was handcrafted, I was perhaps lucky enough to have had the trust of some of the most amazing people I could have ever met from all around the world.

I bet you that they did not know where Malaysia was (it was BEFORE Google Maps and Waze) much less had the smidgen of conviction and faith to give me a shot.

With my screeching TM Net dial-up, I have worked on everything that required the internet. I've owned domain names selling novelty items, published a relatively well-accepted parenting website, wrote newsletters for a milk company, designed packaging and logos for a renowned electrical company as well as a well-known air-conditioning and medical product company, ghost wrote ebooks on how to build your own kayaks (I have never been, for the life of me, ON a kayak, much less build one), stuck my toe into the verbal marshland of 'how to solve your menopause symptoms' at the ripe old age of 29, wrote a script for a movie that I don't know whether have made the big screen or not, wrote articles about the death-defying stunts of F1 and NASCAR drivers, wrote a hundred-over pages worth of articles on how to fix your ATV (AND sold ATVs and helmets and gloves and what-nots), promoted furniture companies...

...and although I don't gamble except for Chinese New Year but I swear I've taught many how to master the art of at least 7 different types of Poker!

Thanks to my ability to step into the shoes of anyone who talks to me (enough), I have been able to produce realistic, interesting and thought-provoking articles that highlights what's important to the people I work for (sales, of course, what were we all thinking about, right?) but also keep people from hovering the cursor on top of that dastardly 'x' button that has become all too common these days.

Having been on the internet for so long has its advantages and disadvantages (my kids hate their baby pictures) but I believe that the understanding of how distracted people are today and the dynamics that move people from being disenchanted internet surfers to interested purchasers will help companies, groups and individuals make the most of all the mediums that we have today. Social media included. Ask me about my social media experience and you won't be disappointed. XD

So, if you've read this far, I've not stepped on your toes yet, I see.

Great, let's chat!

Stargazer - Stretch Those Sides

I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim

Project Wolf Hunting (2022) - Film Review

Less than 10 minutes into the movie, I was already wondering why am I watching this show, and in the dead of the night.  But I was thinking to myself, I've toughened up quite a bit when it comes to things like these... Happiness , Signal , Sweet Home , Alice in Borderland , Vagabond , City Hunter , Tunnel ...these crime and sci-fi dramas and films I endured just so that I can watch my favorite actors in action...they must have really built me some mental muscles.  Usually, I am the late kind because I want to see what everyone has to say about it...so that I am prepared.  I will just present you with reasons to watch and reasons NOT to. Here goes.  REASONS TO WATCH If you like Seo In Guk , Jung So Min , Jang Dong Yoon , Sung Dong Il , or maybe even Im Ju Hwan , you might want to endure this film.  Hint : If you're a fan of Jang Dong Yoon, maybe watch it.  It's interesting. I know we have a lot of post apocalyptic world films all over the place now but this is a little diffe
