A Love Affair
I started with blogging in 2005, and I posted only 1. I did not return to it after more than a year. Then in 2007, I opened up an SMS from Odette announcing her site and this caught my interest. Another post came up, until I started to fall in love with it. This year, my archives started to improve and my love affair with blogging has solidified. I can already worry of what to post next and what pics to place in my posts. With each and every post, my heart goes along with it. There has been no post that I have not thought of and discerned of. Until I met fellow bloggers who appreciated my posts, and read them and understood what I meant in what I have written.
This love affair with blogging has led me to become friends with people I have only met within the net. And yet, because we have developed a special bond of friendship virtually, there are just many friends still who come to me and offer more than just their posts but the real friendship.
I thank the people who have made me happy with their comments, and to people whose generosity has overflowed and sent me these:
My heart overflowed with J O Y when I got home and had these waiting for my return. Thanks a lot J. Ana. Hubby is so happy with this new mags, he's poring over them after we have settled in from our trip. He's actually engrossed and I am happy that he is, thanks so much. Ally my love to you J.
Kumareng Grace, the ever generous KG who loves to share and spread generosity.

Kumareng Grace, the ever generous KG who loves to share and spread generosity.Thanks Grace, I am so glad you sent me this postcard. Paris is one of my most sought-after places. I have a biological grandma who lives here, we want her to come back and live with us for good, but I don't know why she can't. I will write another post about this next time.
But for those who come and go, thanks so much for the visit. And I love you all. Virtually or for real, friendship is at its best when you understand each other and read each other's story, and not judge by the title of the post. ;-)
This love affair with the blogosphere is addictive, and I am glad to have met many friends like you who are just real inside and out, who want to share what is to be shared. Thanks and God bless.
What started you in blogging? Care to share?

It's addictive in the sense that, in almost everything I do, I start thinking "Oh, this would make a good blog post!". You know what I mean? ;)
my friend introduced me to blogger in 2007. but i got no interest in updating my blog by that time. after several months pinag isipan ko ngang i delete nalang ang account ko. but when i started bloghopping, many bloggers inspired me to write and continue updating my blog. until such time na nakilala ko kayo. nakakatuwa at lubos kung ipinagpapasalamat sa Diyos ang magkaroon ng mga kaibigan kahit sa net lang. malay natin sooner or later magkita-kita din tayo in person.
salamat ng marami sayo sheng!
I started blogging privately (by invitation only). I wasn't comfortable to share my point of views in the blogosphere. Pero hubby told me I should share my writings at opinions online as long na I don't sound Ms. Know it all daw. So then I started making my blog visible over the internet. Then, paid post raket starting to look good amo to banat blog asta subong. :)
Take care,
allen
I started blogging primarily to share my travel experiences, but my posts have evolved to include anything under the sun! I invite you to read this post: http://kumarenggrace.i.ph/blogs/kumarenggrace/2008/01/12/welcome-the-new-yearwelcome-to-the-blogging-world/. That's my first post.:)
Have a great week sheng! Mwah!
so here i am hoping to keep my entries forever, and if by chance my site got deleted, at least i could always ask my fellow bloggers what i've written. :)
:)
keep writin'!
I love blogging and I started five years ago..up to now, I still enjoy the goodness blogging gave me. :)
Nice post sheng! :)
I started blogging since 2005 and it has been going strong ever since. The friends I made in blogosphere and support from like-minded friends are tremendous.
I avoid superficial bloggers at all cost (those who only visit IF you visit them, etc) and those who talk unceasingly about themselves (self-centred individuals). I mean it is fine to do that (by all means do that because it’s their blog) but a little more ‘depth’ is better, don't you think so?
I'm glad we became friends and I really enjoy your blog. Keep it, Sheng! :D
Blogging has opened up so many opportunities for me to write, and has enriched my life with beautiful people who turned out to be great friends. Galing 'no how it helps our worlds become wider and richer?
And I met you too! :) Cheers to blogging and friendship!
I started to blog as a way to remember things, kind of like a diary- I NEVER knew that I would meet other like minded people and form friendships....
It's been an amazing adventure and I'm also so glad to have met you!

Instead of being bitter abt the whole breakup thing, I created an alternate ego. Strangers who found my blog funny or was amused by my writings in turn became my friends.
p/s: Thanks for stopping by my blog! :)
Blogging is wonderful because I learn a lot from it & have met kindhearted souls including you.
How I started blogging? Well, I've always loved writing. When I started working, I didn't find time for it but my heart continuosly aching to write. Until I heard about the word BLOG and thought "why not give it a try!". So it became my avenue to continue on with my passion. In 2005 I had my first blog. And the rest is history.
i blog because i often need to let out what i'm feeling inside, where i can be free and unrestrained and honest and true to myself. the friends i met are the bonus and the icing on my cake. :)
It's great, isn't it, that we develop wonderful relationships with people we have not even seen but know so much about?
