Why Do I Blog
It has been more than two months now since i last posted an article. My mind’s just fell blank since my Dad passed away. Everything seemed unimportant, unbecoming, illusionary & meaningless. I gave myself a short break that i deserve in life…a slower pace, peaceful mind, sleeping long, jogging, pilates… in short, life without any stress. But now im back, though hardly recovered from a big crisis and agony… whatever.. life must go on!
I have to start my comeback (parang artistang bumalik sa showbiz..hehe) with a tag which was already due long ago. MissP tagged me to write why i blog. So here are the reasons why im here:
…i blog out of curiousity. When i bought my pc two years ago, i really didnt have any expectations about the use of this machine. I was computer illiterate. MissP was so helpful to show me what this pc is for. She learned me how to use it, explained patiently all what i should know, including bloghopping. Then i asked her if i can also do blogging… the rest is history.
…i blog to practice my English. Since i came in Germany some decades ago, i must admit that my command of the English language was neglected & became poorer.. but on the contrary, my Deutsch became fluent. Since English was not really my mother tongue, the absence of practice will lead to forgetfulness. Thats why blogging opens for me the opportunity to balance my fluency of the two languages.
…i blog to meet friends. Its amazing how this internet wonder can connect people in all corners of the world. Though i have never met any of the bloggers that used to visit my site, aside from MissP & cheH whom i know personally, but still, i feel comfortable & happy whenever i see their comments, as if a real, touchable friend do really visited me.
…i blog to widen my knowledge. Bloghopping is like eating from a buffet table. The variety of topics that can be read in different blogs are so thrilling, mind enhancing, fun & knowledgeable. I admire some bloggers of their wide vocabulary, usage of high falluting words & expertise in writing. Ohh, i wish i could also reach that level of written communication…
…finally, i blog to express my inner thoughts & feelings. Living all alone in a foreign country, far away from the family, & without a family of my own, it could be lonesome sometimes. There were times when i dont have anyone to talk to, to share my thoughts with or to engage in an intellectual talk. I found blogging as an outlet to communicate to all the people out there who have the same interest in reading & writing. This is a way when i do monolog first, but then i know after a while, listeners will come & would gladly start an interesting dialog with me.
I will not tag anybody about this topic because this might already be passe…. di na uso dahil naluma na kakaintay sa sagot ko. So my dear blog friends, you can breath freely now coz im not giving you obligation to continue with this…
