About
W E L C O M E to Yodisphere.com, a blog dedicated for unconventional people doing remarkable things. I'm glad you are here.
This blog, previously entitled "The Chronicles of Yodz" started as a personal site. It was just a blog-blogan, just-trying-it-out blog which contains very few personal notes in 2004, totally neglected on the following years and was partially revived in 2008.
This blog, previously entitled "The Chronicles of Yodz" started as a personal site. It was just a blog-blogan, just-trying-it-out blog which contains very few personal notes in 2004, totally neglected on the following years and was partially revived in 2008.
Last 01.Sept.2010, as part of the continous evolution of this blog and this nagging urge to write, "The Chronicles of Yodz" [at yodi967.blogspot.com] was renamed yodisphere.com. [see blog notice transition]
Hence, I consider September 01, 2010 as the official birth date of this blog.
At first, I want this blog dedicated to philosophical notes on finding the “light” and other mind and human psyche stuff but I find it too rigorous for my simple and inexperienced mind. I created it more or less on a whim and later became my personal rant page and a record of anything that inspires me. I love reading and exploring so I'm using this blog as my way of sharing and recording the things that I find interesting.
EXPLORE.DREAM.DISCOVER
“Twenty years from now you
will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the
ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe
harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain
My idea of a perfect blog is something that readers want to EXPLORE, a site where they can share their DREAMS [and frustrations] and a blog which can help people DISCOVER useful information - this is my blog mission.
Thus, Yodisphere.com is a blog magazine without a fixed niche. Here you can find posts about Pinoy lifestyle and things that somehow deals with something I'm good at (even if I'm not sure what are those) or things that I find interesting. Articles on this blog are mix of: travel tips and information on travel destinations (based on my personal travel experiences); travel hacking; events reporting; commentaries and personal opinion; reviews; book notes; mobile phone photography; blogging; collection of inspirational stories and personal development stuff and some humor posts.
Sometimes this blog also serves as a record of my eccentricity, expression of thoughts, shenanigans and personal musings – which I’m trying to avoid because I believe “ideas and information” are more important than useless personal rant about me, myself and I - who cares about what I ate for lunch anyway.
Last January 2011, as part of monetizing this blog, I decided to include lifestyle and information posts including product reviews, promos and events reporting, instructional how-to, case studies and hopefully I could also post some interesting interviews and Q&A's. I revised the template, study some minor SEO stuff, done a few code tweaking and tried as much as I can to update it.
The Master of Yodisphere.com
The name Yodi "Yodz" de Veas y Insigne is the name behind this blog, inspired by the famous Jedi Master Yoda and the concept of the “Force.”

Quick Notes from Me:
Reading blogs, you may trip through the absurd or you may stumble upon the profound. Large or small, experienced or new, hilarious or heartfelt, blogs and bloggers are shaping national conversations, changing how we consume information, and inspiring emotion through language, passion, and journalism. As for me, I started blogging for three reasons:
1. I always felt I have something important to say,2. Books can make me cry,3. I want to sleep at night.
And of course I'm one of those delusional sorts who imagines myself a useful contributor to the greater blogosphere (Well that's what I'm trying to accomplish).
Being a good story teller is a must if you do blogging. But posting a story in the internet with an audience of a billion people - opinionated, anonymous, interrupting, interpreting, interjecting and plain lazy and most of the time crazy? That requires more than just talent, it requires super power! - so I just write, either you read my posts or leave.
I am not a professional writer [yet] and creating this blog helps me in discovering more unusual things about myself. This blog is kind of a big deal to me now and I call it home.
I am from the province of Occidental Mindoro, the land of the Mangyans - Republic of the Philippines, I.T. teacher by profession but currently trying to survive a corporate world based in Manila.
I love books, travel, movies, freethinking, some philosophy stuff and I dreamed of having a Ph.D. someday. I have a little vice, which is black coffee and peanuts. I don't smoke, I laugh a lot, sleep a lot and think a lot. I am sometimes reserved and distant to outsider although I often have a great deal of wit and esprit.
On this blog, I encourage all visitors to give feedback and intelligent comments, share ideas, insights and related experiences.
Let's all bring balance to the blogosphere!
