Interview with Anino (part 3)
This is the third and final part of our interview with Anino. If you have missed part 1 and 2 you can read them here and here. More interviews to come soon on both www.storiesfromthailand.com and www.teacherinthailand.com, so don't go too far!
Thaistory: How do you promote your blog?
Anino: Lately, I have linked to a lot of new blogs and met new bloggers. I pay each blog a visit at least three or four times a week. I can’t forward my blog to my friends because I’d like to remain anonymous!
Thaistory: What else do you know about your readers? Are they all Filipino?
Anino: Basically, they are all Filipinos, including the ones in my blogrolls and my co-workers. Once in a while I receive comments from anonymous readers, so I really don’t know their nationality. But, I have an Austrian friend who can speak Latin and other languages as well and he told me that he could understand some words.
Thaistory: What do the pictures from the blog head mean? Do they represent your story?
Anino: Yes…yes…yes. Mountain, trees, nature = mountaineer characters; places where aswang dwell. Skull = death; danger. Statues and monuments = Asian beliefs and tradition. Meat = flesh; food. Cat = power.
Thaistory: There’s one thing that really annoys me on your blog. That SCREAM! It always takes me by surprise. Why don’t you to get rid of it?
Anino: Because it makes my blog unique and annoying as what you say. You are not my only victim. Some readers even told me that they immediately turned off their computers when they heard the scream for the first time!
Thaistory: Any plans for the future?
Anino: Go back to school and do my masters. On the lighter side, I am planning to go to Cambodia and see the magnificent Angkor Wat. As of now, I need to win the “Blog of the Week” award!
Thaistory: I’ve recently added a comment widget on this blog and my other blog (Teacher in Thailand). I think it’s very useful and it helps you keep track of your comments, especially the ones on older posts. I think you should try it too.
Anino: If you tell me how to do it…
Thaistory: Thank you for your time.
Anino: It was a pleasure.

Very good. Honestly, I have been reading comments about the sound. Since I don't use sound in my PC, I was not victimised by it.
The stories are so unique and with each chapter have a different touch of mystery. The photos are so unique as well. When I have read it the first time, the chapter 17 *which was the chapter when I first discovered the blog) I got hooked reading to read it more.
Then try to support Anino as much as you can! He needs our feedback and help to spread the word...

At the moment I interview only bloggers from Thailand.
