Why do I blog?

Saturday, February 3, 2007

That's the question in i.ph forum.. The latest forum I joined..

 Some time ago, I posted something like that. On why do I blog, but as time pass and as things happen in my life. The reason starts to change, the purpose starts to be unveiled… It has become more than a past time, more than killing of time, it has become more than an outlet, a therapy but a great escape to euphoric, nirvana… Blogging starts to have a deeper mening bestowed by the sharing of the same ideals, freedom of expression.

Before, I blog just for the fun of it, because I love writing and Im too excited to see my work published and read by many people. I started being an official internet person on July 2006 I joined emanilapoetry, got my poems posted there. Then egroups like kamakatahan, timog, pinoypoets… Then, blogspot where I have 2 blogs, friendster blog(1), multiply blog(1), yahoo360(1),  tabulas(which I havent continued), and i.ph.. But only two of that blogs are well maintained, and that is, My scratchpapers and this one, marya.i.ph..

It has been fun doing 2 of the things I love, writing and blogging..  But I dont want blogging to stay this way forever, it needs to be put in a different view. This is just for me, I decided to give blogging a different name, or should I say I decided to borrow a different word for blogging. That is freedom. 

This is what I've written at i.ph forum:

I blog to express myself, my views my opinion on some issues… I express myself better through writing, di kasi ako masalitang tao.. Blog for me is freedom. Freedom to do whatever you want or rather write whatever you want to, whether or not people will be pleased with you, it just doesnt matter. It's between you and your heart. or sometimes between you and your reader. Subconciously, you become friends..  Blogging is like a feeling of being in my own world but not being alone. It keeps me on the ground. Interacting with people.. The way I like to, that is by writing.

 

There.. I remember cofibean, one of the most controversial blogger I know, (though not personally coz nobody knows him anyway)  there are a lot of people who hates him, because of how he call poor people "bahong natives and orcs" and how he loves calling people stoopidm maybe that's why he's keeping his identity secret.. haha.. to protect himself from being harrased publicly by those people he call bahong natives/orcs!..haha.. funny thing was, the more people hates him, the more he gets more of their attention and a huge follower of his blog.

I admire cofibean for being honest, straight forward and for being brave. He knows what he wants and he knows how to get it. He's not afraid of voicing out his mind because it is his blog. That's why many people love him more than those who hates him because they envy how FREE cofibean to talk about his feelings. He's probably not a people-pleaser. Coz you cant please everybody, can you?

I myself dont care if someone doesnt like me, I can live with that, I have a lot of things to attend to than think of those who doesnt have anything to do with their life but to hate. I blog, mediocrity aside,  who cares.. thing here was I am what I write,(if it is non fictional) well, even my fictional characters are me in some aspects.

 

Anyway, here's the page cover of my novel

The story about a girl with a 3 minute memory caused by a long term panic disorder…. Story of survival and finding her true love…

Naks.!
