Different people have different ways of relaxing.  After a long day’s work, some people look forward to a long hot bath to wash away the day’s tensions.  Some people prefer to party to relax.  Other people look forward to a weekend of relaxation with a book and a cup of good java.  For those who fall under the last group, you might want to pay Stories That Read You a visit.  This is the blog of author Steven Clark Bradley.  Though not all of the books would fall under the mindless reading material category, you would surely find something interesting and relevant to read.  Find out more about the stories and books – things that you would not find in the regular publications.

RedSimba is Inboundpass.com’s co-founder/Editor-in-Chief/sportswriter Mike Abasolo’s personal blog. Inside it, he talks about where to be mooch free WiFi in Manila, the best broadband providers in the Philippines, where to find great food for much less, tips for other writers/bloggers, among other passions of his.

This writer finds it strange that his blog would contain only one post per page, but then that may well be a “to each his own” kind of thing.

If you are, if you plan to go to, or if you live in the Philippines, and you want to learn how to save more moolah or where the best value-for-money restos are, head on over to RedSimba’s lair now.

Staircase Dimwit, a blog by Kim Loraine Bundalo Castillo, is a witty personal blog with rants and raves that range from being a “triple minority”: being a lesbian/vegetarian/atheist, to politics, and basically anything and everything that Kim is passionate about. Miss Castillo has a lot on her mind, and she doesn’t hesitate to say it.

One thing that really captured this BlogSearchEngine.com writer’s attention was her “open letter to Barack Obama.” The witty prose, the passion, the raw vulnerability in her work simply shows the magnitude of Miss Castillo’s potentials as a writer.

Her open letter to Barack Obama is featured after the jump.

Kneading Water’s subheading says that it’s a blog of:

Largely made-up stories and thoughts of little consequence…

American Nightmare is more than a pleasant surprise, when one would stumble across it on the blogosphere. Rare is the blogger with a flair close to Hemingway proportions, and this American Nightmare post reaffirms this writer’s faith that there are still artists out there.
