THE DAY I FOUND BLOG

I'm reminded to use my camera more often just like my dear friend Kimi who happily captures every friend's heartbeat for Multiply." – JC Buendia


“Gosh, you’re a Blog addict!” This is the usual remark I get from my co-teacher and dear friend Noel, every time he sees me in front of a computer doing my usual stuff - surfing the net, checking e-mails, updating facebook, twitting or simply reading my courseware.


Honestly, I developed an "addiction" to it. Yes, Blogging became my way of life. This addiction started last January of 2009. STI Colleges in Western Visayas gathered at SM City Iloilo Cinema Six for the annual National Youth Convention. One of the convention speakers was Spanky "Manila Boy" Enriquez who was tasked to present his points on the topic Create, Connect, Communicate. Specifically, he highlighted the concept of Blogging as a medium of human expression and a social marketing tool. At that time, the idea of blogging was something novel to me, so right after the convention, I dropped by the internet cafĂ© and give it a try…


READY, GET SET, BLOG!

They say "Life is about experience"... I say, Life is about sharing experiences; after all, experience is the best teacher!


In today's modernity, we are living in a different community – a global Diaspora!


Reaching this global Diaspora requires the exploitation of what Information Technology has to offer us and Blogging is one of them! Blogging brings us to a whole new level of connecting, communicating and influencing the world. Yes, whether we like it or not, we influence each other. This is manifested by the comments, ratings and reviews we post to fan sites, social networking profiles among others. These "little voices" have actually the capability to stir emotions, spark personal revolution, influence decision makings, or even turn one's perspective 360 degrees!


Thus as bloggers, whether we like it or not, we are the new legislators of the world, the modern literati, and as such, we are given responsibility to nourish the world with knowledge drawn from experiential learning activities and undertakings we have through constant interactions and observations with the rest of the human creations.


Hence, blogging, or being tagged as a blog addict is something we should never be ashamed of. Blogging is a personal choice, an embraced responsibility, a commitment and a promise to make the world better for humanity! So to all of you out there, what are you waiting for? Share those captured moments to the world! Start blogging TODAY!
