Buraot He Isn’t

My first impression is that he may be many things, but he is definitely not a Buraot (it is a Tagalog slang which means, among other things, a person who’s constantly a taker but never a giver). I’ve been seeing a lot of contests on which he sponsors the biggest cash prize, so if he calls himself a buraot then what do you call me? :haha:

I won’t even pretend that I’m close to this guy (because that would be me being a social climber, seeing that he is one of the respected names in the blogosphere). I go to his blog from time to time, yes (because he is in Pehpot’s Adgitizer list), but that’s about it. He’s the famous creator of the EntreDropper, and since I don’t see much benefit in spending my time at Entrecard, I never got into that circle. I’ve never had a, how do you put it, close encounter with the famous Buraot. So I can’t honestly comment on how nice he is as a person but since Fedhz and Peh know him and are constant visitors on his site, I am betting that he is.

For someone who seems to be very intelligent and has a lot to say about life, Buraot (which also means stupid in Tagalog slang) doesn’t really fit him. :lol: Peace! I guess this proves my theory that the best writers are self-depracating. Me thinks it’s one of their privileges. But I digress. I haven’t said this to anyone because I haven’t been given the chance, but I admire his quiet sense of humor. And his skill at writing is impressive. I’m never the one to comment on one’s writing unless it’s really, really good, and I think Buraot deserves that praise and more. What convinced me that he’s good is his write-up on a recent natural disaster that passed, which made him miss his family. As mentioned in my other blog, I’ve been missing my sister, so I was able to relate to him. I could say that I would very much like to have his writing depth as I grow older (which I honest-to-goodness do), but that would be laying it on too thick, and lest I am accused of kissing ass (again :lol: ), I’ll stop here.

About Me Picture
My name is kAyE Mendez. Born and bred in the Philippines, I live together with my bestfriend and hubby Paulie and our piglet Svetlana in the beautiful city of Baguio. I am a freelance writer and Blogger/WordPress blog designer. I also do a lot of other stuff online that I will just categorize as miscellaneous, as I'm sure you have read of it one time or another if you are an avid follower of my blogs. If you aren't a follower yet, then yes, that was a shameless ploy to get you to follow me. MORE ABOUT ME... »
