. Well not officially though, since some of my posts, especially in the June archive are taken from my Friendster account. Nevertheless, I consider this as an achievement already. (though nobody cares for this blogsite, except a few of my friends)
Now, I want to write something really worth celebrating for. If I have money right now, I will treat all my friends to a night out. Outside our apartment. waheheheheh.
Well la de da!!!! Before I discuss how I ended up being in the Blogworld, how I became a Blogista!! (Rockista pwede pod) Let's travel back to when blogging was new to this not-so-innocent world.
In 1998 there were just a handful of sites of the type that are now identified as weblogs (so named by Jorn Barger in December 1997). Jesse James Garrett, editor of Infosift, began compiling a list of "other sites like his" as he found them in his travels around the web. In November of that year, he sent that list to Cameron Barrett. Cameron published the list on Camworld, and others maintaining similar sites began sending their URLs to him for inclusion on the list. Jesse's page of only weblogs lists the 23 known to be in existence at the beginning of 1999.
Suddenly a community sprang up. It was easy to read all of the weblogs on Cameron's list, and most interested people did. Peter Merholz announced in early 1999 that he was going to pronounce it 'wee-blog'and inevitably this was shortened to 'blog' with the weblog editor referred to as a 'blogger.'

Now, let me tell you how/why/what made me do this blogging stuff.
I've been writing since high-school. I think a lot that sometimes I feel like I am about to burst. I wanted to talk to someone but I am not the talking type. I don't usually share my thoughts to just about everybody. I don't even discuss problems with my mama or my ate. Thus, I resorted to writing. It was such a relief and fun too. I like reading my journal entries and laugh at myself for doing such childish things or weird things. I even had a poem containing rants about my cousin who I never get along well with (maybe because we have the same birth date), and it was so effing funny.
Guess what, it was through my journal that I have come to realize that I am kinda weird, in a way. When I was in college, I created a journal but with a touch of art. It is like a diary but instead of "Dear Diary" I used "Dear Lord God." *sigh, I missed those days because I really felt like I have an official angel postman who sends my letters to God. Anyway, I used recycled paper to add a more artistic effect and even dried flowers and twigs. I still have this journal and I have realized how my life in college was. It was full of drama actually, like in the later years. Maybe because it is the "tingbitay" time and that our department is notorious for dumping a lot of students and only allowed like one-fourth of the class to graduate. So, my journal within these critical years was full of tears, laughter, and even hatred, and of course a lot of prayers. Oh, by the way, I took up Information Technology. (take note of this) So, I was into computers, the Internet, and all.
After college, (yup, I am proud to say that I made it through the rain, aw storm diay, heheh)
I discovered Friendster. It was because of the kadramahans in life actually. My batchmates started inviting me to this networking chuvaness because they told me that we have to get in touch since we may not see each other anymore (ana ka dako ang CEBU). And so I accepted the invites and as they say, the rest is history. I got hooked. But not really about making a lot of friends. I don't add those I don't know, only my kababayans, grade school classmates, high school barkadas, college chikas and colleagues. heheh.
So, it was through Friendster that I discovered blogging. I remember it well. I was in Innodata, graveyard shift, no boss around, and full Internet access. So what do you do when in a hopeless (char) situation like this? You take advantage of it right? and so I did!! wahaha. ako pah
My first blog entry was about my crush --JOSHUA DANIEL HARTNETT-- ana, complete jud. I can still recall how Ady, Kuy2, and the rest of the Vampire gang laughed at me and teased me about my addiction to Josh. But hey, I was really into him. I can only laugh at that post right now, but I am still so effing in love with Josh. Nothing replaces him, well uhm, except Topher Grace and uhm ____. (sekwet, ehheheh)
So that was it. After that entry, I blogged and blogged and blogged until I can no longer feel my fingers. Unfortunately, not all people are interested in it. Well, some say that they read my blogs but hey, ever heard of leaving footprints? I mean, just a simple "i was here" would suffice. Just to let me know that somebody reads it.
Anyway, I have recently transferred here at Blogger because I am now bored with Friendster. I guess it reminds me of a lot of things that I don't wanna be reminded of. Then again, history repeats itself, I STILL SELDOM GET COMMENTS HERE!!!!!!
waaaaaaa. *sob *sob *sob
This won't stop me though. Nobody can ever stop me from writing. So be afraid, be very afraid, I might spill your secrets here for publicity's sake. (*evil laugh)
So what do you think? Leave comments ha!!!!
One big happy family . (No-akan time)
