.:A Review: A Journey Through Life, by Laila:.
As one of the more high-profile bloggers out there, I more or less have a criteria in evaluating the quality of a weblog.
For the most part, I put a lot more primacy on the quality of the posts in the weblog than the layout itself. My weblog in particular reflects this, as I have had practically the same layout in this weblog for the past three years already, yet I still somehow managed to win last 2003's Best Philippine Weblog in Flying Chair.
In any case, when I tasked myself to do a review of Laila's weblog entitled "A Journey Through Life", I saw what was a nice combination of good content and excellent layout.
The moment you enter her weblog, you immediately get treated to a nice flower-based pinkish background that's a lot easier on the eyes than the usual neon colors some other bloggers are notorious for. Moreover, the layout is very organized, as the right column has a very neat archive link page, and even a calendar like the type you would see in Livejournal. Pictures used in the blog are likewise meshed very harmoniously with the rest of the content, as she apparently wraps the text around the picture when possible instead of setting the picture in a different paragraph.
If only for the sheer ease of reading and navigation, I would already have given an "A+" for this weblog, but as I mentioned, I'm less concerned with how the weblog looks like than I am with what it has to say. Given that, this is practically where her blogging shines.
When you look at her topic list on the right side of her blog, topics from "Annoying Stuff" to "Philippine Politics" (Practically the same thing! Hehehehe...) to "World Domination", all co-exist harmoniously in the same place. I was initially having problems with the lack of headings for her posts, and then this nifty little bit in her sidebar made things a lot simpler for me. If she doesn't mind, I'll quote one of my favorite entries from her...
No matter how eager and interested I am in browsing more blog sites, my mind cannot absorb them - they look blank even I was reading them. The reality of life bothers me, I should not really spend more time online as there's so many things to do, so many things to fix... I will be away for about 2 years. Planning, preparing, and instructing the kids on what to do while I am not home. Gee, don't know really how they will manage the house without me.
I love my kids. And, I wish the best for them. They are all grownups now - they must learn to survive without me - a legacy I could give them as their single parent.
The net has been my world since 1997. There have been many nice people online who morally supported me during difficult times, when I was feeling so depressed. Somehow, it's time to move on, find a job and be financially and emotionally independent. I am at the peak of life's trials and challenges but I feel after this storm, everything will be revealed based on God's plan.
Well... uhmmmm... I sound emotional today because I had misunderstandings with the kids. How I wish they would think the way I do but, I know they need time...
When you look at Laila and see a single parent who goes through life with a wisdom quite beyond her years, you realize that this blog is quite an inspiration to anyone who thinks they have it bad but still happens to have access to the Internet. Laila's take on the various things going on around her can be rather interesting at the least, and very insightful for the most part.
One thing that really catches my eye about her writing is how similar her range of topics is to mine: Stairway To Heaven, Lovapalooza, Neopets, caring about people no matter how bad things get, work, inspirational messages, politics, and even a bit of Metaphysics at times. Aside from film reviews and pro wrestling on my part and the fact that she has wonderful kids on hers, I'd almost (but not quite) assert that our blogs are kindred souls! I hope she takes that as a compliment. :)
Other than the fact that she doesn't quite update her blog as often as most hardcore bloggers do, I honestly can't find much to complain about as far as her blogging goes. It's a fun read for the most part, and her blog is living testament to the fact that you learn something new everyday.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful thoughts with the online world, Laila. Rest assured these thoughts don't go unappreciated. :)
