On writing, blogging, and sharing...

I’ve always wanted to write. In fact, essay writing was my favorite type of exam back in school. And yes, I actually won a writing contest on my first attempt at writing, which was published in one of the major broadsheets in the country. For some reason though, I couldn’t sustain my strong desire to write publicly. I have my excuse. I’ve been extremely busy juggling work and family all by myself. Oh, the life of a single parent. But don’t get me wrong, I am incredibly happy with my life. I can’t complain.

Anyway, I thought I could write about anything (and publish it) except, about myself or my life. I’ve always been a private person. In fact, I never joined any online social networking until late 2008. Since then though, I’ve always been active updating my status; posting comments; and of course, uploading beautiful photos on my page for the world to see.

What brought the change? I don’t know. Maybe, because I want to keep up with the Gen Y Era where my kids belong? I’m interested to know what the kids of today especially, my kids are talking about. I want to make sure there exist no generation gap between me and the kids and that we can talk the same language and enjoy our conversations (believe me, it is possible). Well, I actually feel I belong in the same generation, i.e., the Gen Y Era… haha! Hey, age is just a number. I have never felt so young and beautiful! Haha… bear with me!

Now, I feel this insatiable desire to write and enter the world of blogging. I have so many things in mind. I actually keep a personal journal to record important events in my life, e.g., milestones, breakthroughs, etc. I particularly like to write about my kids. And not only that, I make sure I take photos not only of important events but of everyday activities. I haven’t told you, I am also a photo enthusiast. I enjoy taking pictures of practically anything and of myself… lol… love myself!


There you go. Let me start sharing my personal journal with you and yes, let this serve as my very first official online write-up. Till next time! ♥♥♥
