Robo-waiters Soon To Replace Waiters

Image
On this page you will see that I have a lot of articles credited to my name.  But I’m a ghostwriter, too --a writer who is paid to write articles that are officially credited to another person.  I write blogs, product reviews (long product reviews, that is), copies and press releases under another person’s name for a fee.  I can’t say it’s something I totally enjoy doing, but if only for the love of writing and seeing the result of my work afterwards , then I can say I get some sort of fulfillment in doing it.  (Not to mention getting paid, of course.) So, after getting due permission from my former clients, I’m posting here some of the ghostwriting jobs that I had – I could be Jandi , the Bargaining Bride (although not all that's under her name were done by me), Jennifer L . , Ryan or just plainly the good old Product Reviewer .  I talk about weddings, food trivia, restaurant news, F&B management tips (my client’s from the restaurant industry), health and...

Let's Talk About Dream Guys

As part of man's crazy nature,  we never get contented.  We constantly, constantly look for more in our lives.  I have come across a lot of questions about love, life and heartaches  (primarily because I have plenty of experiences on those)  and  though I never claim to be an expert, I always have a thing or two to share.  Read THIS ARTICLE  and be inspired.

My Editing Job

Image
While I have had a lot of writing jobs to show off, I have never really tried to edit professionally. My experience has been limited to editing high school articles in my high school paper (I was Features Editor back then – two of my dearest bestfriends were Editor-In-Chief and Managing Editor) and making corrections on my IELTS students’ writing tests. Well, not until recently.  I came across a wonderful woman who has a lot of fantastic ideas about memory enhancement and brain nutrition, and I helped her organize her thoughts for her already long-standing website.  We made her write-ups more spontaneous and engaging to her readers.  The challenge in editing her work, other than infusing accurate grammar and correct sentence structures with fluid thoughts, was to make sure to keep her views and ideas intact.   And retain her very own method of writing. We have finished the job, the 14 articles edited and enhanced. Now, three weeks later, I went back to he...

I Used To Be The Bargaining Bride

On this page you will see that I have a lot of articles credited to my name.  But I’m a ghostwriter, too --a writer who is paid to write articles that are officially credited to another person.  I write blogs, product reviews (long product reviews, that is), copies and press releases under another person’s name for a fee.  I can’t say it’s something I totally enjoy doing, but if only for the love of writing and seeing the result of my work afterwards , then I can say I get some sort of fulfillment in doing it.  (Not to mention getting paid, of course.)

Why I Love Boracay

Image
I got converted in Boracay last 2002.  From being a party-goer, indifferent to nature to becoming a nature-loving fanatic.  Or was that maybe because I aged?  J  I made this article for a client, detailing why Boracay rocks.  Read more here .  (and by the way, I need to put it on record that I borrowed this photo from a good college friend who's always been great in taking pictures.  I tried to ask for his permission by getting in touch with him several times-I saw this photo in his Facebook albums, teehee- but he seems real busy lately.  So, my dear good friend, if you happen to recognize this photo in Google or elsewhere, please know that I did try to ask for your permission.  ♥ you. )

Some Things New Triond Members and Online Writers Ought To Know

Image
So you’re new in Triond and Online Writing?   Welcome!  I, myself,  am  less-than-a-year-old at Triond,  and I can say it’s certainly  been a captivating,  exciting, mountainous  walk.  I had to discover a lot of things by myself,  researching and learning things along the way.  I’d like to share with you a few facts  (including the links where I got them)  that a new Triond member needs to know.  You need to have a blog before you can have a Google Adsense account.   Part of Triond’s familiarization (or would you call that orientation?)   is that a writer can integrate  his Google Adsense account to Triond and maximize his earnings  once he has submitted his 5 th article.  But what they didn’t say is that you can’t do that without a Google Adsense account.  And you can’t have an Adsense Account without a blog. (And yes,  Triond leaves all that to us to figure out.)...

The Use of Modals : Can, Could, Will, Would, May, Might, Must, Shall, Should

Image
Can ,   could , will , would , may , must , might , shall and should   are  helping verbs called modals .  Each of them has their own functions.  As you read the functions, take note of the examples  and notice : ● when they are combined with an action verb, the meaning of the     verb changes.  Example :    can talk   -  ability to talk;  will talk   -      intention to talk ;  must talk -   the necessity   to talk ● they cannot act alone – they always need a main verb ● in using them,  the simple form of the verb is always used (without     s ,   ed ,  or  ing ) 1.  Can  is used to a.  express ability.
