why am i blogging?

xtra: bukas na ang uwi ni diego, happy trip!

that’s one question that i’ve been getting since i first ventured in the blogging world. maybe it was so amazing for a mid-30 man to be writing about how awful his life is. honestly, i don’t really know what pushed me into blogging, alhtough i mentioned in my previous post on how i first encountered blogging yet i can’t remember what made me blog.

the things that i blog does not differ from the blogs that i’m reading, people that are willing to share their lives to others, people conquering the fear of being tagged. blogging for me is a feel-free attitude, nothing can be more satisfying than saying something that you wanna say and people understanding how you feel.

although most of my posts seems to be depressing, like the way i share my frustrations in life yet i believe that the lessons that i’ve learned after passing through that stage in life has made me a different person, a stronger & wiser person. and that’s my hope, through my failures & defeat other people who had experienced what i’ve been through will have a brighter outlook in what we usually call as failure.

for me blogging is not a display of the authors writing excellence or intellect. anyone can write about any subject such as politics, religion, economy or culture (my 4 favorite subjects) with great excellence but they might not be able to communicate with the readers. a lousy writer (like me) can write anything i want and will be able to communicate what i feel. bottomline is that the way i blog is how i see this world, how i feel & i how i foresee my future. it can be sad, happy or even funny, because that’s what life is a never-ending cycle of hope, failure, success & everything else.

    elow.. ako ung nagpuyat para mabasa lang lahat ng blog mo. 2nd day ko pa lang mag-tsek out ng mga blogs and huwag naman sa ikakatangos ng ilong mo, i enjoyed reading ur blog kumpara sa iba. sabe ko nga pinagpuyatan ko pa. if one day when i have enough courage na mag-blog, i’ll surely give you a credit.

    wow at may nagbago kang reader manong betong. *selos ako*

    i started blogging as my way of expressing my angst and at the same time to prove to my detractors that im still alive. never it occured to me that blogging is showing-off - err your writing skills.

    i was once an active blogger and i really enjoyed it. i gained blogging friends to the point of calling them and getting to know their family. until such time that i need to stop. now i miss blogging. maybe it’s time to re-open.

    just blog away Manong Betong…..
