Why I Blog?
“Maalaala Mo Kaya” is without any doubt the best Drama series I've ever seen because the stories are extremely touching. The reason for that might be the fact that every episode of the TV show is based on a true Filipino story. And because those stories reflect life itself they really touch the soul and heart of the viewer.
Last Saturday night, I was watching the episode of a dying mother with breast cancer who took the risk of getting pregnant despite of her illness. Kailangan niyang mamili between her life and the child in her womb kung sino ang ililigtas.
Her son, seeing how her mother suffers, was very much affected lalo na sa studies niya. The teacher told the mother na may gustong sabihin ang bata pero wala siyang mapag sabihan, not even his parents. According to the teacher, her son needs an outlet para mailabas ang gusto niyang sabihin. Then the teacher advised the mother to give him a diary na kung saan pwede niyang isulat ang gusto niyang sabihin, which her son did.
In this story, it is also the reason why i express myself thru blogging.
In our lives, meron din tayong mga emotional baggages o di kaya may mga pagkakataon na gusto nating ilabas ang nararamdaman natin but nobody dare to listen. O di naman pagnasabi na natin, deadma lang. Blog is like an open diary.
Actually this is my second blog. my first blog, which was already blocked in the Kingdom due to some illicit contents, has been recognized and nominated several times for best blog.
Blog is the simplest kind of open letter para kahit papaano, some can understand, listen and be compassionate. Of course, very entertaining din ang magbasa ng tungkol sa buhay ng iba especially if we can relate to some instances sa buhay nila.
Sa akin, it is also one way of releasing my emotions and what I want to share, kasi nga I am a silent type at hindi ako mahilig mag share ng buhay ko verbally sa ibang tao, except the people I trust. Thru the blog, I am talking to people discreetly, and expect that some of them will listen. Others may find my blog uninteresting, pero at least nailalabas ko kung ano ang nasasaloobin mo. I’m here not only to entertain, but to reach out and educate. Of course with some limitations dahil I still want my privacy to be respected. Ang puwede ko lang i-share ay yong mga real life experiences ko (best and lesson-learned), and my perceptions of what life must be.
