Finally I'm done with the layout of this blog... this is my 3rd attempt at blogging and somehow I just couldn't find my "niche" or what I would want to constantly write about. While I was on my unplanned hiatus from blogging, I reflected deep and hard about the things that were happening around me. There are just so many thoughts going around my head that I just had write them down. There are also times that an idea would just pop into my head and I had to put it down lest I forget it. And since there was a ton of schoolwork that I had to do before I graduate, I just couldn't find the time to put this blog together.
This particular blog of mine is primarily and greatly influenced by the president of my university, Fr. Joel Tabora, SJ. The whole gist of his idea is using the social media, particularly blogging, to express your opinions and influence others. This may be the closest thing that I may have to do in terms of exercising the skills that I have gained in my journalism class back in my junior year of college.
Another factor that influenced me in putting up with this blog is my interview with a local blogger. When your popularity will sky- rocket because of your blog, you can't help but be superficial about the content that you are going to write. There are also some that blog just for the freebies and perks.
I feel that there are so much more matters happening around us that need to be reflected upon. Hopefully I can maintain this and somehow spark a reflective and critical attitude to whoever may read my blog.
