Blogging for 2007

My opening salvo for this new year is a blog for WordPress. Since then, I have internally acquired the thought process of writing my views, anything under the sun. They may either pertain to an interesting event or an anecdote of my life. Writing column and other related articles in our news paper has perhaps convinced me to continue writing, this time an opportunity offered by blog sites like this one. May this blog unleash the animal insticts in me: to blog not just for the sake of blogging but for the cause of sharing my worldiews to people from all walks of life.My initial step is to find other bloggers who I can connect with, and I hope to find them along the way.

This is not the first time that I get engaged in blogging. My Friendster blog is dedicated to Filipino language much as it depicts the native culture and humorous stories that I have. My Multiply account, on the other hand, also includes blogs but seems to be given lesser attention since the site is focused more on photo albums. In the past two years, we have witnessed how the Internet has shaped the lives of civilization. More than an avenue of information dissemination, it has turned into an avenue of personalized stuff and virtual society: friendship connection brought by Friendster, photo sharing and other entertainment features by Multiply, video uplaoding by Youtube, art appreciation by Deviant art, and many more segments that cater to the different interests of peopleware. Even the significant world events are not spared from the virtual eye, like for example, videos of Saddam execution were uploaded in the youtube.

Much is in store for 2007. May this blog serve as a witness to capture the great moments and interesting events that will shape my individuality day-by-day. May God be glorified through this trade.
