Why BLOG?

I am technically a newbie when it comes to blogging and everything that defines it. I may have started blogging since 2006 when I opened a friendster account upon my college classmates insistence and eventually started this blog, which has long since dead until I decided to have it resurrected this time in 2008, yet I am still learning from blogging. I seldom post and I don't give a damn to site traffic - I am not a spotlight addict nor a fan of AdSense. I blog for the purpose of just blogging - to keep those essays I made for, say, a Literature class or works I made out of inspiration (hehe), or make a written landmark, internet base for easy access, to some important events that transpired in my ordinary existence. Sure thing I write not to impress, but to express. I may have been tempted to make my posts as good as they can get and I doubt if they do, but those are mere experimentations of my creativity - a novice blogger and an average writer. Bloghopping, so they say, is like a time-killing technique for me. Recently, I started updating my blog as often as I can, make comments to some posts, and visit blogs that are worth reading, or at least, interesting, and learn from them. Blogging is, in fact, the child of boredom. I don't have much to do except read my nursing books in preparation for NCLEX, come May or June, watch TV, read my e-mails almost everyday, read the news through TIME.com, inquirer.net, and the like, read blogs, watch Youtube, play sports every afternoon, go out of town and enjoy the outdoors, and do some texting and chatting with college classmates and friends (who have been convincing me the longest to work in Manila and get my own dose of its toxic lifestyle). The list goes on and on. See, it's not really because I want to attract readers (I know I don't LOL) or what, I do blogging because I am a believer of good ol' diaries (hehe) or say, in a less corny term, journals. This is to leave imprints of my ordinary life, so when the time comes I can always look back at this blog's archives and reflect on what I have become.
