URL  http://haveabreak-kimchelle.blogspot.com/

   I interviwed to my lovely classmates, Rachelle Sarmiento and Kimberly Batiancila. 
  Their blog is on a specific topic and they gave me useful knowledge about coffee.
  I hope many will want to familiar with this blog so that the readers who like coffee appreciate coffee after reading the blog.                                          




Q1.what inspired you to write your blog?
  A.Before we had this project, I was already planning to make a blog site. My main inspiration in making this site is my passion to write and my motivation to know more about what is happening in our surroundings and how it can affect our daily living.


Q2.Why of all topics did you choose to blog about coffee?
   A.I never thought of coffee as my topic for this project, but I guess my love for coffee (I am a coffee addict) and that willingness to learn about the history of coffee and etc., motivated me to blog about it and share my views about coffee. Aside from I love to drink coffee, I know some of my friends would love to know what's behind coffee that they are always going back to it; and that's the main reason why I blog about coffee.


Q3.Why do you feel the need to write about coffee?
  A.I wanted to share my views about coffee to those people who does not like to drink it. I wanted to persuade them of not having second thoughts of drinking coffee, I wanted them to feel how delicious coffee taste and how it can rejuvenate your body. All these intentions I wanted to share that is why I wrote about coffee for the sake of those people who hated coffee very much, and to those who don't drink coffee at all.


Q4.Who are your prospect readers for your blog?
  My main focus on this blog are those people who really love to drink coffee (at any age level as long as they love coffee) and most especially I wanted those who don't drink coffee sink in into their minds that coffee is great, very relaxing and rejuvenates your body and soul.


Q5.How would your readers benefit from reading your blog?
  A.Aside from learning more about coffee they can also learn about the wonders that coffee can give your body. They can also learn more about the different coffee shops that they can go to, they can also have lots of options in the different coffee shops in Cebu, the best coffee in town, what's hot and what's not about coffee. Everything about coffee they can learn it here in this blog site; and of course they get to have fun reading mine and my partners article.


Q6.What advice whould you give to feature bolggers?
  A.The only advice that I can give to the future bloggers is to choose a topic that would benefit the community and of course the topic that he/ she wanted to write. If you have started, continue that burning passion of writing in you and somehow motivate yourself in doing what is best and give your viewers the quality that they are looking forward in your articles. JUST WRITE AND WRITE!

*Article2. Insights for the blogger interview.

       Actually, I am not a coffee drinker but when I read this blog,I really wanted to drink coffee. The first thing I noticed was the title. It was unique and very understandable. The blog explained the effects in our body when we drink coffee.I felt that the blogger really liked coffee.
 
     I leaned from this blog,"If the blogger loves the topic,there is a bigger chance that he will be able to entertain the reader". I think this is an important ingredient in blog making.

*Article4. Literature in Cebuano

This article was written by one of classmate, Jewel Villaflores. I really appreciate that she wrote article for my blog.  


Ang Cebuanong kapanulatan usa ka katitikanong obra nga gi gama gamit ang Cebuano language o ang gitawag nato ug Bisaya sama sa garay (verses), harito (shaman’s prayers), tigmo(riddles), panultihon (proverbs), ug ang pinakasikat nga balak (poem). Usa kini ka pamaagi sa pag awhag sa kulturang sugbuanon ug pag hatag ug kadasig sa mga lumulupyu sa sugbo. Usa kini ka garbo sa Cebu.

*Article5. Skin

   I really feel that the Filipina is attractive because of her skin color.

So, when I watch many television commercials that promote skin whitening lotions, I feel worried.  This is because skin whiteners lessen the skin’s melanin, a very important protection from ultraviolet rays.  Since the Philippines sits near the equator where the ultraviolet rays are stronger than those in the northern hemisphere, I am afraid the frequent use of skin whiteners could expose many Filipinas to ultraviolet rays which can not only cause wrinkles but it also skin cancer.

 Although many Filipino actresses have fairer or whiter skin than many Filipinas, I think they would look even better if they had the natural skin color of the Pinay.

Japanese also prefer to have white skin.  And, in Japan, many products promote the whitening effect. Of course no amount of whitening cream will make them permanently white. 

 I didn’t think deeply about my skin before I came to the Philippines. Now I know better and have learned to appreciate even more why it’s important to keep our skin healthy and clean.
