Each person is unique and each one of us finds inspiration in different things.  Yet there are a lot of commonalities where by many people find inspiration as well.  This blog, 2inspire.us, is quite effective in bringing together pieces of news from all over the world with the overall aim of striking a sense of hope and inspiration from its readers.  From business to technology to health to justice to education – this blog seems to cover it all.  It is much like reading a news site but with a big difference – the topics are well-chosen and written to inspire and not merely to present the news.  It is a refreshing change.

Someone once said that education is one of the greatest legacies that parents can ever leave their children.  In this day and age, education comes in many different forms – some of them occurring outside of the classroom.  One popular way of alternative education is homeschooling.  Some parents opt for this for different reasons but if you are looking into some firsthand information about homeschooling, I suggest that you head on over to Exceptional Homsechool.  Maintained by a parent who knows what she’s about, you would definitely get something out of this blog.  By the way, the blog also focuses on homsechooling special children – a plus that any parent would be delighted about!

Because I want to be fair and nice, I am featuring Patrick S. Fernandez’s site, because I also featured Kitty’s and Irish’s.

Same content as theirs, just a little more savvy and upbeat, and I like this layout better than the other two; sorry Kitty and Irish.

If I come across another classmate of theirs, I shall post it too, for fairness’ sake. :p

In other news, if you think this description/blurb fits you:

This site is for anyone and everyone who has graduated college and been thurst into harsh reality called the real world. What do you do? Where do you go? How do you adjust? Most importantly–is your life over? No!

Then this site might interest you. Upbeat writing, interesting thoughts, I think this blog has potential.

Hmm. I am on to these women. First, it was Kristine Anne “Kitty” Castro. Now, it’s Irish Joie Punzalan. Are these women doing these for their MBA class or something?

It’s the format, the content of the posts, and the stark similarity. Well, Kitty’s was more generic, using just another Blogger native template, while Irish’s seemed to be customized.

Either way, because the content was way similar, I was wondering why on earth would an MBA course require a student to setup a blog for him/herself. If I find more of these in my email heap, I just may ask where they are going to school in. Or maybe I should just sift through their blogs?

Okay, I bloghopped through Irish’s linkies, and lookie what I found: these guys must be taking their MBA in De LaSalle University, one of the most prestigious universities in the Philippines.

O-kaaay. I wonder if the professor is just into creating buzz and link love for his/her own site or something. Either way, I am ambivalent about the entire thing. The “tech evangelist” in me likes the exposure they are required to have, but the “blogger purist” in me thinks the entire exercise is so fake.

But then, let’s stick with saturating the rising economies with tech education. I commend the professor for requiring blogging exposure. But can’t he/she require more meaty content?!

I don’t know how else to end this but in my classic LolCat expression of the season: KTHXBAI!

Kristine Anne Castro, “Kitty,” is an Assistant Manager for Security Bank in the Philippines. While her blog has yet to contain juicy stuff about her life, I’d understand that she just might be busy, given her occupation. So far, there are just an analysis of her zodiac sign, her contact details, her video bar on the sidebar, and a detailed review of a rather affordable laptop, and an anecdote of her life as an MBA student. Quite a lot on a woman’s plate, I gather. I sure hope she’d post more on her life, as it would be interesting to note how a Bank Assistant Manager would balance her life with the life of a blogger gurl.
