An Invitation

Below is a copy of the email invitation I am sending out to people I know. An invitation to check out this blog site. I decided to get a little more creative than the usual please-visit-my-blog-at-boring-dot-blogspot-dot-com line.

"So ano pinagkaka-abalahan natin ngayon, Arnold, este Kulot. Kulot nga pala ang screen name nitong batang ito." Kuya Germs says, starting the interview.

"Meron ho akong bagong ginagawa ngayon, Kuya Germs. Yung blog site ko po, kulotology.blogspot.com, Kuya Germs." Kulot politely answers.

"Blogsite? Ano yun? Explain mo naman para sa mga boys and gels dito na hindi nakaka-intindi kung ano yun." Kuya Germs now a bit confused.

"Ganito po yon. Ang blog site po ay isang web log. Web... as in World Wide Web, Kuya Germs? Yung sa internet? Web log... Weblog... Eblog... Blog... BLOG! Gets nyo, Kuya Germs?" Kulot patiently explains.

A blank stare from Kuya Germs. Obviously clueless.

Kulot rolls his eyes over.

"Ok, eto Kuya Germs. Sinusulatan po ito ng mga entries kahit tungkol saan ng isang taong walang magawa o trip lang magpatawa o mang-asar. Minsan may sense, pwede rin namang minsan eh wala."

Kuya Germs suddenly brightens up. "Ahh, parang yung script and production numbers sa That's dati? Minsan may sense, minsan wala." Kuya Germs volunteers.

"Ahh... eh... medyo ho." Kulot uncomfortably replies. Minsan may sense? Kelan?, a thought he controlled not to say.

"Ganito na lang, Kuya Germs. Parang diary or journal. Sinusulatan ng mga nangyari sa iyo o pwede rin sa ibang tao. Pwede ring mga kuro-kuro lang, o opinyon. Minsan may pictures din. Kahit ano, actually."

"Ah ok. O sige na, imbitahan mo na sila para panoorin yang blog-blog mong yan. Kelan na ba showing yan? At sino-sino mga kasama mo?" Kuya Germs interrupts, obviously wanting to end the interview.

"Kuya Germs, hindi po sa TV or sa sine ito. Sa internet po." Kulot sighs, getting more impatient by the second.

"O sige, kung saan man yan. Imbitahan mo na sila." Kuya Germs hurriedly says, now really aching to end this conversation.

"Ok. Para po sa inyong lahat. Subukan nyo pong bisitahin ang blog site ko. The address is kulotology.blogspot.com. Marami po kayong makikita at mababasa. I try my best to make it entertaining. Sana po ay magustuhan nyo. And feel free to leave your comments sa mga entries ko. Remember, kulotology.blogspot.com." Kulot mechanically recites the memorized line he has rehearsed a million times.

"Salamat, Kulot! At sa susunod uli na may gusto kang i-plug, open naman kami lagi dito sa Master Showman. Basta ikaw." Kuya Germs happily says as he hands over a basket of promotional goods as gift to his weird guest tonight, err.. or early morning as it is already 2:00AM.

Kuya Germs flashes the familiar hand sign as he says, "Maghanap-buhay na muna tayo. Commercial na muna. Babalik pa po kami. Dito lang sa Master Showman! WALANG TULUGAAAANN!!!

Kulot shakes the hand of Kuya Germs as they thank each other. He then gathers the costume he stripped off earlier in his production number with the Sex Bomb Dancers as his back-up.

The things he has to endure just to promote his blog.
