The Ninja blogger tagged me to answer this question why do I blog?. Now I’ve been blogging for almost a year and a half, but I haven’t had any particular posts, disclosing the reasons on why on earth I’ve been involved in this addicting activity called blogging. Well, thanks to the ninja, because this is the chance for me now to divulge those reasons.
- Homesickness, the main culprit on why did I blog, I was working in thailand then, alone and don’t have much local friends, Filipino colleagues may kanya-kanyang lakad. Of course being away with your family you’re always on the look out for things to cope you’re homesickness.
- Out of curiousity, when I discover a certain pinoyblog, na-curious ako, kaya basa dito basa doon ginawa ko, then naging lurker na rin ako ng ibang blog na naka-links sa blog na yon. Then yun na ang simula nag-open na rin ako ng account sa blogspot.
- Enjoyment, somehow blogging bring enjoyments to me, mainly, because nakakapag-kwento ako kahit na somehow walang kuwenta ang mga ikinukuwento ko at kahit pa hindi ako siguradong may nagbabasa. Consolation na lang kung may nagbabasa at kung may mag-comment additional consolation ulit yon regardless kung negative or positive ang comment.
- Gaining On-line friends, yes I gained friends while slowly drowning myself into blogging.
- Developing the skill, before,  I know nothing about writing I don’t even know how to write a simplest love letter (naka-gawa ako minsan para sa misis ko, hirap na hirap pa ako). But when I started to enjoy blogging I discover along the way, that I can write.
 Yan andyan na siguro lahat ng mga reasons ko kung bakit nagumon (parang addict eh?) ako sa pagba-blog. Yun nga lang medyo nagco-cool down na, pero hindi pa rin kayang tigilan.

Thanks for answering the tag. Yup kung malayo ka sa pamilya then it’s better nga siguro na may pagbuhusan ng pansin. I can relate to that. Ako din ng mag move kami sa US parang naulila din ako. Sabi nila madali daw mag adjust ang mga bata but it was hard for me.
Thanks again tol

ganyan din ang reason ko, homesick walang magawa sa opisina mismo kaya pinagtiyagaan ko nalang ang sarili ko na ma addict sa blog at least may pagbubuhusan ka ng sama ng loob minsan dahil sa homesick na yan,he,he. Ano na kaya kung wala itong internet, nung pasulat sulat palang (tsk. tsk. )
