Raft3r takes on the role of a public speaker.
Has the world gone mad?
I have been recently invited - not once but TWICE - to speak before an audience.
Raft3r has already accepted both offers. After all, I couldn’t say no.
Though public speaking is on my to-do list, I am now having second thoughts.
The first speaking engagement is before a group of graduating college students.
I was tasked to talk about the real world – job, success, money. Out of three enumerated, Raft3r only achieved the first item.
The other talk is hosted by a non-governmental organization.
They want Raft3r to discuss about blogging and its social responsibility.
This one I am not so sure of. I am, by no means, a professional blogger. Man, I can’t even fix The Deadbeat Club’s HTML settings. Yummy Friend can attest to this.
Whatever possessed these folks to think I can give logical advice to others is beyond me.
Raft3r knows no shit.

gilbert, Nyahaha. Sakin walang makikinig. Hehe
Ok yan Raft. Who knows? You might need that public speaking skill in the future should you decide to run for public office in Malibay. So accept lang nang accept ng speaking engagement!
Ay is public speaking a skill or a talent? Hmmmm, I think it's more of the latter no?;)
wendy, Kung skill man yan o talent mukhang wala si Raft3r nyan. Hehe
wow! congratulations! one great opportunity. not everyone would have the chance.
woww.. nice naman.. one way of sharing your experiences in life..
congratulations

If I have public speaking engagements, I drink alcohols prior to standing on stage. Wag lang pasobra. lol!
Wala akong masabi bro, made ka na talaga! Kayang-kaya mo yan, I'm sure kaya mo pareho. POst mo yung blogging speech ha, hahaha.
Good luck!
kris jasper, An alcohol induced speech. Gusto ko yan. Hehe
liza, Nyahaha. Tignan natin. Parang nakakahiya. Walang katuturan ang mga balak kong sabihin, eh. Hehe
Ayos, ah. May nauuto ka pa!
pete, Nyahaha. Sila ba nauto ko o ako ang nauto nila? Hehe
Wow, that's something I don't see myself doing.
When is that? Do it well. It may serve as an inspiration for college students.
len, Naku. Mahirap maging inspiration sa iba. Hehe
okay ka naman noong napanood kitang mag-speech ah.
pakumpas-kumpas ka pa nga e, patango-tango sa palpito at kunwari titingin sa audience kahit nangangatog ang tuhod.
ano nga ulit yung last line mo?
"That's all folks?"
hitokirihoshi_kawaii, Sabi na nga ba. Ikaw yun malakas humilik noong speech ko!
Eat 'em up, yummy friend! speak from the heart.
and oh, always happy to help sa html worries mo :)
(ang plastic ng dating. hahahaha. ILU)
judayski, Nyahaha. Ewan ko sayo. Hehe
see, bumibista naman ako ah!!
i think you don't give yourself enough credit... you can totally blow people away! if you speak as well as you blog, you really shouldn't worry....
laieesha, Nyahaha. Mukhang guilty, ah. Hehe. Salamat sa vote of confidence.
ano nga ba ang balak mong sabihin, baka magkhahalo halo at ung contents ng blog mo ang maging topic mo sa graduates... hehe... i agree with laieesha, if you speak as well as you blog, which I think you do, you've nothing to worry about :) public speaking doesn't have to be extemporaneous right? you can 'read' you're speech? ;D and sure, yakang yaka mo naman kung sakaling may Q&A portion :D
mitzi, Q&A? Parang sa pageant? Hehe
haha, oo, so maghanda ka na rin ng mga one-liners mo ;D ehehe.. .
mitzi, Naku. Yan lang kaya ko - ang one liners. Hehe
