Wonderful Beginnings

Someone said that the hardest part of any work is starting and ending it. Well starting this blog isn't really work 'work', but looking back to the days I've planned and thought about doing this- what to write about, how often should i write, how would I want it to appear, and so on..it actually seemed like i was taking this all too seriously. I first heard about blogging back in college, and although it appealed to me, I wasn't comfortable about the fact that anyone could just read it. It's not like I've convinced myself that a lot of people would be interested (haha:), but I still preferred keeping my thoughts just to myself, probably because i was so much of an introvert back then. Apparently, I've had a change of heart about blogging recently. Thru my younger/est sister who had a school project on blogging, I learned about this site. My older/eldest sister also suggested blogging to me a year ago, and she even recommended the blog of a friend of hers for my reading. But being the UP graduate, now law student that she is, her friend's blog somehow intimidated me with its serious, and socially contributory contents. Not that I'm an apathetic citizen of this country; I'm actually socially aware, concerned, and helpful in my own ways, but I really don't think I could consistently write about such influential, nationalistic, and 'superior' topics. I've just always been the simple sunny me..time and my experiences in college has made me come out of my shell little by little, but my positive disposition and the things I value most in life-family, friends, my values and my relationship with my God, they remain unchanged and they're what I write about. I also write about the causes I support at times but I couldn't be as serious. So that's how I doubted my ability to write a blog and I've somehow forgotten about it, until I've read one recently, and got inspired:). I was reminded not to put so much attention on what others, or even my sister might say, and treat blogging for what it really is, a medium for responsible self-expression, with the advantage of possibly affecting someone, in a good way i hope. 

so here i am, writing to my heart's content, finally relieved that i no longer have to send emails to an ad i just made up, somehow a desperate attempt of mine to be able to talk to someone, even if that's someone's imaginary. But i've really been writing since elementary. I once kept a diary, and still writes on my journal every now and then each time i have strong feelings and realizations i need to let out. My only problem about writing such is that i'm not sure to what or whom do i address them. At least here, whatever i write could be addressed to just anyone who would waste their time reading my logs..haha..a lot of things are racing through my mind right now I don't think i can write about them all..but now that i'm finally done with the hardest part, the rest would surely be easy. I'm so happy!!! Nyt! meow
