I
have a blog finally. I was invited several times by a friend to make
one but I always tell him I am not into writing. However, when a lot of
my pals started to own one, I felt I should have one, too.
See the power of peer pressure? <smiling>
Well,
I won't say it is because of my friends' influence alone. Partly, it
is. At first, I thought of making one because they are all into it.
Yet, later on I saw how writing in blogs made a difference to them. I
witnessed how my friends became more productive through this. Well, I
am not saying that they're not like that then but I would say
that through this, they have become more creative in spending their
idle time. Instead of talking about people and events, they are now
into writing ideas, insights and stories. I was able to take a look at
the different side of them as I read their articles. I was able to get
to know them better. So with high hopes to see the same changes it has
done to them, I decided to make one. I want to do something good out of
my spare time and I desire to become reflective like them. I also hope
to be heard and understood.
What
can I say? I don't think I regret that I was influenced by them. As I
write this article, which is obviously the first entry, I can't help
but feel excited. Well, they were right. Thanks to them. Well, just
want to tell them "Ehem! Guys I already have a blog."
