Pinoy bloggers in Kuwait
Blogger alone lists 18,700 blogs from Kuwait, but so far I've only met a handful of Filipinos maintaining a Kuwait-based blog.
In alphabetical order:
Chronicles of a Desert Prince is Jay's blog which contains photos of Kuwait's people and places. Observably though, he has stopped blogging since April 2010 and his last post was this picturesque photo of a sunset in Marinduque. I hope he continues blogging because his photographs are more than a thousand word.
Incessant Mack's Nag is Macky's blog which contains news and happenings on and about Kuwait. Informative.
Ever's Pamatay Homesick is, of course, Ever's PEBA 2008's award-winning blog. Ever is an architect by day and artist by night (and I suppose during weekends, too). He paints and he sculps, and he writes for POC. He belongs to Adhika, a Filipino artists's group, based in Kuwait.
I found Ponyok's site from expat-blog. His writing style is light and engaging and his posts are truly informative (and at times wacky...read this piece on two barbers).
Tabuena Art Central and Tabuena Inspire are owned by Enrique Tabuena, a "Creative Director, Graphic Designer, Art Director, Illustrator, Visual Artist, Driver". Both sites contain various original art pieces created by the author. His artworks are inspiring and magnificent.
Tukmol's website contains "my everyday ignorance, rants, angst, inspirations, humor and thoughts about almost everything under the sun".
miss you na Nebz, ano ba to free ads ng mga blogs sa Kuwait? hehehe hayyy I hope madalaw ko rin ang ibang blogs, if time permits...
Makes me want to check the other UAE blogs. Right now, I'm only acquainted with a very few bloggers based in Dubai.
Miss you, too. Sige po, I'll start visiting other blogs din and I'm starting with you.
Blogging in Kuwait is very active. I think they meet every month in various places. 'Congress' ang tawag. They're already on their 59th congress, I think. Pero surprisingly, kaunti lang ang Pinoy. Karamihan mga Arab Nationals.
@Jo: Do. It's cool to know other people who share your interest.
do you have some kind an organization of filipino bloggers there?
I remember when you listed mine before. This is cool, Nebz. Wherever you, there is KABAYAN Bloggers. Are these blogs listed in KABLOGS na?
By the way, they have a Kuwait-based PEBA Nominee na.
Welcome to Kuwait! Thanks for featuring my blog. Blogging is so active among the arab nationals here but unfortunately not for Pinoys. I bet, hindi pa magkakakilala yan coz honestly I don't know anyone you listed (except Ponyok, an ofcmate of mine). Well, we could have our own congress, why not! That is if everyone participates. I will!
Nebz, salamat. Nakakataba ng puso. Ang totoo ay bago pa lang ako sa pagba-blog at minsan walang oras para bigyang pansin at pagtuunan. But there will be more blogs as time passes. S'ya nga pala, maganda ang blogs mo.
I was googling "Filipino bloggers in Kuwait" when I found this.. Good to know I'm not alone! I'm getting pretty bored here because majority of my blog readers are Manila-based.. I'll check out all the links you posted. Thanks a lot! :)
