Hello, my name is Marck Ronald Rimorin.
I go by quite a few names. Marck (spelled with the extra “c” and the extra “k,” way before it became a conventional spelling for boys’ names these days). Marx (I was – and I still am – an activist, so the nickname stuck). Maro (too many Mark’s and Marc’s in the office, so I’m usually called by that name). Otherwise you can just call me by my thinly-disguised pseudonym, “Marocharim.”
That’s maro-KHA-rim, not maro-TSA-rim.
My blog online journal – in all its iterations (I can count about a dozen of them) – has been around for about… give or take seven years now.
I won Best Commentary Blog “Blog” at the 2009 Philippine Blog “Blog” Awards. I also got some a bit of props with a feature from the British Broadcasting Corporation. I attended some workshops by the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism. I was one of two fellows for creative nonfiction at the 48th Silliman National Writers’ Workshop, the oldest creative writing workshop in Southeast Asia.
My day job is in advertising, but I find the time to write stuffs here on my Internet blog site (k) online journal. I’m usually referred to as a “political blogger” “an online opinion writer on things political”- I write about politics through a regular online column for a major broadsheet – but here, anything and everything is a topic. I often write in long compound sentences, but I also have a deep fascination for haiku.
Here’s my professional profile, my Facebook account, and my Twitter channel. Just in case you need to e-mail me, that’s marckronald (at) gmail (dot) com.
