2nd year and still here
I was reading someone else’s blog last night when it suddenly dawned on me that I am on my second year of blogging. Now that to me, is a feat since…
I never knew how to write (not that I do now,) what to write, not really knowing the rules of blog when I first started doing this in july of 2003. When I chanced upon blogger.com, I said to myself ‘why don’t I try it? if it isn’t for me, I could easily wipe out my account‘ ..obviously, I continued blogging. It just took some time getting used to doing it.
The beginning was that of childlike mumblings (& writings) most of them were senseless, gramatically challenged - the way you see still- and the sudden shift of focus and thoughts was and still is evident. Silly silly entries. But I do enjoy my being silly, life is serious as it is, right? or left?
There are things that I am grateful for as well, that blogging has brought me. As a student, I hated sitting still to compose on paper anything that my teachers would instruct us to do. English and Pilipino subjects were my weakest. Maybe because I love sports and colors more than tons of letters before my eyes, I was often bored out my wit! But blogging’s taught me that writing can be fun… as well as therapeutal, not to mention that this is such an ingeniuos way to meet other people…remember the first comment or tag you got? I remember the feeling it gave me…disbelief…because I really couldn’t understand how other people would take time to read what I’ve written and leave comments..I’d say to myself: ang tyaga nyo naman, hindi ba sumakit ulo nyo magbasa? *lol*…but yes, there are amazing people who find the time to read and leave messages, just to say that I matter. I am to this day, very thankful to all of you who frequent my blog no matter what I share {or not share} be silly or not.
Blogging is instrumental because via this I have met some wonderful people from the Philippines, United States, Canada, Japan, Germany, England, Luxembourg, UAE, Thailand, Singapore, Switzerland and elsewhere. Via this I’ve also met them ‘ bad eggs ‘ as how ajay calls them {yo! Ajay, I like the term} But that’s reality, you like some, you loathe some…no problemo. I stay focus on the ones I like, that’s it.
Now I wonder if my blogging would last for say, another month, another year? perhaps a decade? I guess as long as I still enjoy blogging then I’ll be here. And to be honest, as long as I have my blogger friends around, I will continue doing this. Plenty of times I’ve said to myself that ‘I’VE HAD IT W/ BLOGGING! ‘ but then, I also think there’s a truth to the saying that ‘once a blogger, always a blogger’..or is it just me, a fickleminded woman?

thess,
i’ve haven’t been to your archives yet. i hope to do so when i have the time. but from what i’ve read so far, i find it hard to believe what you said that you never knew how to write. for me grammar and language is superficial. what’s important is the substance. kaya nga ako i mix english and tagalog in order to hide my deficiencies with both languages. you can never be wrong as long as you are honest and write from the heart. so please continue blogging for more years.

i thought you were directed by the doc to stay away from the pc? aber, at bakit ka nagb-blog, ha! hehe…
seriously, though: as i’ve once written in my blog, one should write to express, not to impress. if you keep that in mind, i think you will continue blogging for a long time, even if it may be irregular at times. lahat naman kasi tayo, natural na yata yung desire to connect to other people, di ba?
