I Love Blogging!

This is actually not an official entry in Blog Ni Rey's essay writing contest. Well, as much as I want to, I just feel like I am not that pro enough to join such a prestigious contest.

But, I would try my best to make this unofficial entry to be at least acknowledge by some.

As the title of this entry states, I love blogging. Eventhough I have just actually started blogging last May (of 2009). I mean, I did some blogging prior to that. But, it just felt as if I was blogging for the wrong reason. Needless to say, my heart was really not in it.

Eversince when I was in the elementary, 6th grade to be exact (err... schoolyear 1994-1995), I have always wanted to have a journal of my own. May it be just a simple notebook or a planner where I can write down my thoughts, opinions and what-have-you's.

Sadly, the notebooks or the planners that I had, ended up as my scratch notebook.

When I was in highschool, I was somehow sidetracked from that goal. For studies kept me busy. Although, my passion for writing grew.

When I was in college, I was not able to pursue writing again, due to the fact that I got addicted to chatting via Mirc and Yahoo Messenger.

Jumping forward.

I heard of the term "blogging" around a couple of years back. And basically, blogging is just like having an online diary/journal and having the rest of the world be able to read it. Nice.

Since I have an account on Friendster and Multiply, and both do offer a blog option, I was still hesitant to do blogging for I do not a computer nor an internet connection.

But, I was able to do some blogging on Multiply, for it can be accessed by almost everyone who is online, and a viewer does not need to sign-up for it. Still, I was not satisfied. For I think, if I will be blogging, I need to update it in a constant basis.

Jumping forward again. I bought a laptop (with the help from my bestfriend Ed) and got an internet connection from SmartBro (free plugging, where is my endorser fee?).

Finally, I can do something about what I have been dying to do for quite some time now. But, before I do this blogging stuff, I have been reading other people's blog just to get some pointers on what to write about and how to execute it.

Ok. Last May (of 2009), I created an account in Multiply (a new one) and in Blogger (a.k.a. Blogspot), by having a username that would reflect (finally) who I really am... it is "ALLABOUTONY", as the username suggests, it is all about me.

And I have been blogging eversince. My Multiply and Blogger blogs do have the same contents. And why is that? For they have their own specific target viewers/readers.

I blog about what is happening with my personal life, my work life, some technical stuffs, my opinions, my views etc. And I am loving it! Especially the part where and when I receive comments about what I blogged about. It is pure bliss.

About the part of gaining readers. I have a few followers here and there, and I am very thankful to them. I wish their number would double every month. LOL!

I am still a neophyte in this blogging industry/lifestyle and I am still learning... a lot. And I am hoping that I will be recognized as an up-and coming blogger or a pro-blogger soon.

On a closing note, all I can really say is I LOVE BLOGGING! I love sharing my life online. And I promise that I will keep on doing this until the end of my somehow crazy life.
