Our Awesome Planet (A Must…)

To tell you the truth, I’ve never really been what you might call a “blog person” i.e. I like reading blogs but I wouldn’t wither and die if you took them all away. I have several flash-in-the pan, fly-by-night personal blogs which are all essentially dead. The problem is the “ningas cogon” mentality of most Filipinos…After a couple of entries, Juan Tamad will appear and everything falls apart.

The reason I tried again is because of a little-known (not anymore) Pinoy blog named Our Awesome Planet by Anton Diaz. It’s a great site and it will keep you captivated for hours on end. Some of the reasons why you would want to visit:

• Anton has extensive reviews of those pristine, out-of-the-way places all over the Philippines which you shouldn’t miss. These include resorts, islands, inns and other exotic places which will make every traveller salivate like one of Pavlov’s dogs.
• Anton is also a food connoisseur, the veritable gourmet-next-door. Thanks to Anton, my wife has dragged me in all sorts of exotic establishments in order to savour the flavour that you can only taste with your eyes online.
• The site has excellent pictures that will delight your corneas and whet your appetite.
• A growing and loyal fan base (as evidenced by a recent plagiarism scandal involving another less-than-saintly blogger). I guess you know who I am rooting for in that battle.

One of the reasons why I started writing this blog is because I wanted to have an “Our Awesome Planet” California Version…Talk about aiming high, this one’s reaching for the moon! I am cognizant of the fact that this blog may end up like all of my previous blogs – but hey I’m willing to try again…And all because of little-known (not anymore) blog named “Our Awesome Planet”…
