Black Valentine gave birth to my blog

I originally planned to go out alone today. Days before, I told myself that this Feb 14 would be different from the other 14's of the 22 years of my life. Surrounded by friends who had their own jowawis, I felt that I needed to celebrate V-Day even it meant that I celebrated it alone. In fact, I was determined. But perhaps my determination was not that solid as I thought it was. Laziness, or maybe inside of me I knew that I would become a pitiable picture of solitude, that kept me still sitting here in front of my pc.

Originally, the plan was to spend this day with my good good friend Yeye. Last Saturday, I received text from her calling our plans off. The excuse was that she would have a meeting tonight. That’s the callcenter schedule for you.

Anyway, as you can see, I created this blog on this very (momentous? don’t make ma laugh…) night. Just one way of making my Valentines as fruitful as the situation helps.

Why do I choose to broadcast my life to the uncensored non-user limiting cyberspace?

  • One, because I have so much free time and web access at work.

  • Two, because I know that I have so much things I need to pluck out off my system.

  • Three, I am immensely marveled at how the blogging world revolves. Before the internet came into the picture at the turn of the century, a small voice would have never been heard. Blogs make it possible to reach a relatively wide readership that is free from financial limitations or censorship. Influences include manilagayguy and bikoy.

  • And lastly, because I want to prove to myself that I have a voice that is worth listening to.
