Why I Write
It's been a year now since I started this blog. How time flies! It's been a year and I'm still here. Writing. Reading. Sharing. Commenting. B*tching around as if I have the guts. Hahaha..
I used to have an archive of the posts I had done with the late Friendster. Influenced by my first boyfriend then to blog about my life, I was able to compile a good collection of daily stories and reflection way back in college and on the first few years of work. However, with the passing of time, breaking up, shutting down of Friendster and mourning of my young heart, I decided to totally forget all about it. None survived. That was like 7 or 8 years ago.
Dang! This backtracking makes me feel so old! Maybe I should stop right here.
But no, let me proceed.
My desire to write is usually pumped up by deep emotional turmoil or intense happiness. All I know is I had to let it out. And writing had been an avenue for me to vent it all out. Until now, that's why I write here. Sharing my experiences to others really never came into my mind until I gained followers. Funny, coz I never really see these posts of mine worth-following or worth-reading by others.
So for those who take time, took time and still comes back here, thank you, from the bottom of my heart
Year 2013 and blogging had brought a lot of many great memories for me. I had come to know wonderful writers. I laughed, cried, related, empathized with a lot of other experiences. I had the chance to join an outreach through PBO. I am happy to see that the organization is growing so fast and many are very much willing to share their resources for its success.
I had made friends just by clicking and reading other people's pages. I even received unexpected gifts! How cool was that! I can never thank you all enough!
I really want to meet other bloggers especially those whose pages I follow. I want to personally extend my admiration about what and how they write. Maybe exchange opinions regarding common issues and LEARN. It feels good to be able to talk to brilliant people, especially if they had no idea how brilliant they are.
I can never claim to have creative writing juices in me. I just write what I can. I used to dream of having a published article in one of the prestigious newspapers in the country. For now, it's still a dream. Who knows, I may fulfill it this year. If not, then maybe the following year. Hashtag Never Say Die. For now, let every piece of writing be a document of what happens with my life as an individual, a girl, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a teacher, ultimately, as a dreamer.

We write because we're not animals. We write because it's a luxury. We write because we can't do anything else other than this. And I am sipping alcohol right now. Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteThe thing about writing is that it has allowed us to begin a new life. I owe so much to writing. WE owe a lot to it.
Totally agree Mr. Trips! We owe writing a lot :) beginnings and endings, writing had been a witness to it...
DeleteCheers!
So happy to be here and read your thoughts dear.
ReplyDeleteAko din gusto magsulat, trying hard with all my wrong grammar:)
Thank you mamijoy! So happy to meet you and your life story!!! All possible because you wrote about it :) You are one of my many inspirations in blogging :)
DeleteYour reason in writing is VALID for me, as it helps you release emotional tensions in your heart - be it in a happy mood or sad. Each of us has unique writing style - and I believe anyone can write as long as they desire to do so. We each have our creative juices distinct from one another. We write because we want to share something, we want to say something, we wan to express ourselves in the comfort of using a pen. You can never deny or suppress the passion you have in writing. At some point, you'll stop but then after some hiatus moments you'll be back into its fold. Once a writer will always be one and will remain one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dadijay! Coming from someone who had been at a hiatus, I can feel that you totally miss writing and sharing your thoughts. I am so happy that you are back online and writing and even happier coz you take time to visit my little space :)
Deletethere are different reasons why we write. ung iba nagtatago sa ibang katauhan for them to express their emotions and tell their stories.
ReplyDeletesometimes we write to escape. it is a document also of our emotions. di rin ako magaling mag sulat peo okay lang as long as I share my thoughts. lols
Yep... Sharing and we get to learn :)
Deletewalang rules na sinet ang blogspot sa dapat i blog kaya keribumbum lang yan ahahaha
ReplyDeleteMainam nga at ganun ang kalakaran.. Hehehehe.. Bongga ka ah, your asylum is kemerut! Lols
Deletenyahaha dapat daw chini-chever din ang anez para fab!
Deletelolz ano daw? ahaha
just keep on blogging. kahit di tayo palanca awardee, may karapatan tayong mag-blog lol
ReplyDeletetama Bino. push mu yan. hahahaha
DeleteKung sinuman ang nagsabing kelangan Palanca levels ang mga aulatin, siguraduhin nya lang na nanalo sya ng kahit isa man lang award dahil kung hindi, sa utak ko, nabamboo ko na sya at napaplanking sa gitna ng edsa... Hahaha
DeleteIt's my digital diary, that's why I write. There are no standards I need to follow as dictated by people. I write and I learned how to share my ideas and thoughts. I wanted to be an inspiration even to just one, if not, to move people with my stories. By sharing my blog, I was also given the chance to meet new people like you whom I now consider as someone precious. I am honoured to have been a part of your blogging world.
ReplyDeleteKeep on writing and when we are old and grey, we can always go back and reminisce the stories we had not just as writers, but also as movers and inspirators.
You really are an inspiration Cher Jo :) As for me, I wish I can still say the same. Pero ang hirap mag inspire when I am not internally motivated, very disappointed with the system.... Huhuhu
DeleteI admit, I am not a writer. That is way I have more photos. hehehehe. Blogging was a way to be more conscious of writing better English at first. It's an outlet of a full time domestic goddess. (That's me.) Meeting new friends online, learning from them, and joining them in their journeys is a bonus.
ReplyDeleteThank you too. Your online presence is lovely.
Hihi.. Your photos are wonderful. I am learning a lot from them. Your stories and your kids are cute too :)
DeleteThank you for dropping by :)
Akalain mo yun oh, nakaisang taon ka na! At dahil diyan, extra special ang pasalubong ko sayo! :D
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to get them! Hahaa
ReplyDelete.. And of course to see you! :D
I've been wanting to come up with something worth reading, I love to write as well but then again, no matter how hard i try to squeeze my tiny little brain nothing is coming up hahaha,
ReplyDeleteanyway, I'm sure you can do it, you maybe quite short but you're wit and passion in writing was big enough to do it
