Blog #5 :: Chax :: “The Comedy King” ni Meg Sebastian

Ayon sa Wikipedia:

A blog (a contraction of the term “Web log”) is a Web site, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketches (sketchblog), videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting), which are part of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging, one which consists of blogs with very short posts. As of December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs. With the advent of video blogging, the word blog has taken on an even looser meaning — that of any bit of media wherein the subject expresses his opinion or simply talks about something.

The personal blog, an ongoing diary or commentary by an individual, is the traditional, most common blog. Personal bloggers usually take pride in their blog posts, even if their blog is never read by anyone but them. Blogs often become more than a way to just communicate; they become a way to reflect on life or works of art. Blogging can have a sentimental quality. Few personal blogs rise to fame and the mainstream, but some personal blogs quickly garner an extensive following. A type of personal blog is referred to as “microblogging,” which is extremely detailed blogging as it seeks to capture a moment in time. Sites, such as Twitter, allow bloggers to share thoughts and feelings instantaneously with friends and family and is much faster than e-mailing or writing. This form of social media lends to an online generation already too busy to keep in touch.

Sa buong ikalawang termino ng school year na ito, naatasan kaming gumawa ng iba’t-ibang mga blog entries ukol sa iba’t-ibang mga isyu at topics. Bawat ideya na ibinagahagi namin sa mga nagawa naming blog entries ay importante, at dapat impormante, upang ang mga mambabasa nito ay maging interesante dito. At sa husay ng pagsusulat ng ilan kong mga kaklase, nagawa nilang akitin ang kanilang mga mambabasa, lalo na ako, sa ilan nilang mga sulatin.

Napili kong suriin ang blog entry ni Meg Sebastian na pinamagatang “The Comedy King”. Alam na alam na siguro ng lahat kung sino ang tinutukoy dito, at ‘yon ay wala nang iba kung hindi si Dolphy Quizon.

Ang blog na isinulat ni Meg Sebastian ay kapansin-pansing puno ng pagpupuri sa kay Dolphy. Nag-ungkat siya ng ilang mga detalye ukol sa pagsisimula ni Dolphy patungong pagsikat, hanggang sa panahon nito ngayon, na ika nga niya ay pinupuri pa rin ng karamihan sa galing nitong magpatawa. Ibinahagi ni Meg kung sa anu-anong mga palabas ito sumikat, hanggang sa kasalukuyan nitong relasyon sa kanyang pamilya, partikular na sa mga anak niya, mapa-showbiz man o hindi, at sa kalaguyo nitong si Zsa Zsa Padilla.

May ilang typographical errors akong napansin sa blog entry na ito, ngunit hindi naman nawalan ng saysay yung pangungusap na kinabibilangan ng mga pagkakamaling ito, sapagkat kalat naman ito, at hindi naman mahirap intindihin. May ilan ding mali sa ilang sentence structures sa blog entry na ito. May ilang pangungusap siyang naisulat na humaba dahil sa maling pagkakasulat nito, madalas sa maling pagkakasunud-sunod ng mga salita. Bagamat gano’n ang kaso, madali ko namang naintindihan ang kanyang sulatin. Isa pang kaso sa tingin ko ay hindi ito isang interesanteng subject. Hindi kasi ako fan ni Dolphy eh. Bagamat alam ko na may katotohanan ang mga nakasulat dito sa blog entry na ito, hindi pa rin ako naaning dito. Para sa akin, ito ay informative lamang, ngunit hindi gaanong nakakatuwa.
