Bloggers Who Write or Just Copy and Paste Press Releases

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Are you among those media people, not necessarily just the bloggers, that write about the event they've just attended or are you one of those that just settle for a copy-pasted article?

There was this little discussion that got my attention and has somewhat strike a nerve. I am posting this to get comments as I am also somewhat guilty of that dirty habit of copy-pasting press releases as a shortcut method for my blogging whenever I find myself too busy or lazy to "WRITE".

This also happens if I find the event too boring or less interesting and not worthy of an elaborate story. Most of the time I put the press release as part of the blog inserted among my own personal statements. It might be an insult if I don't include the info within the press release. But I do agree that it might be a bigger insult if we don't write about the event using our own words.

New Memories of Another Awesome Summer

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Last month April, my friend and I took an UPCAT Review somewhere in Quezon City. That was my first time to commute going to Quezon City, because usually I go to Quezon City with my parents and we often use our own car to go there. It was a sudden change of my routine during summer because usually when it is summer my family and I go to our province or to different places in Philippines.

At first, I was excited when I heard about having summer review for UP but it changed when my mother and my two siblings were scheduled to go on vacation in Bicol. I was very disappointed because I should have gone with them but my schedule for the summer review starts on the day of their flight. Even though I’m not with them I enjoyed my summer because of the exciting trips.

Nasugbu, Batangas : Blessed with Awesome Beaches

Wazzup Pilipinas! 

All of us love summer, it's the most relaxing part of the year where we can do whatever we want. We can forget everything that has stressed us and we can go anywhere, anytime. We feel almost perfect as the sun shines, the breeze blows and the ocean sings. And of course we can really enjoy it when we are with our family or friends.

Last summer my family and I went to Nasugbu, Batangas.  They decided for us to go and have a break there because it's near the place where my father works. It's  an almost-paradise place and the view was really breath-taking.

Nasugbu is bounded on the north by the municipalities of Maragondon, Magallanes and Alfonso of the province of Cavite; on the east by the Batangas municipalities of Laurel, Calaca and Balayan; on the south by the Batangas municipalities of Lian and Tuy;  and on the west by the South China Sea.
