Blog ko to

26 February 2010

I started blogging to pass time...for situations like this, when i have things to do, but can't find the drive to do it. I really do not intend for this blog to be an on-line diary, but as i said, in times like this... well, just bear with me. I just read a post from Karen the other day that made me think about blogging and why I do it. Her post was gritty and natural, I like the openess and raw truth in it. It gives a "blog-ko-to, pakialam-mo-ba?" vibe that made me think of what I've been writing and how I translate it to those who waste their time reading my posts ... "Blog ko to, pakialam mo din!" hah!

Of course, just like anything else, we (bloggers) have our own reasons why we started blogging. I, for one, just wanted to 'immortalize' some of my experiences - an on-line scrapbook of sorts (a diary is different from a scrapbook, right?). Although it eventually led to some commentaries, rants and political trashing, the contents of this blog fairly sums me up and give a hint of what my inclinations are.. to some degree.. yata..

And then there's the question whether I use this blog to mask my true character, you know, creating a cyber-personality, apart from who you are in the real world. While I do not (defensive!), I know and you know that there are some who do this, and sometimes, instinctively, you can feel it on their posts. When I read Karen's post, I can say that what is translated through her post is REALLY what or who she is. And i hope, i wish, that i translate that way to my readers too (naks! may readers).

Sabi nga nila, dont write about what you think your readers want to read. Just write what's in your head. Some may not like it, some would. Either way, at least you're true to yourself. And that's whats most important.

And by the way, i would like to thank Badong for his post about Ana. Heavenly.

Peace out!
