Blog

“Pakade, magblog kita ….”

At noon time I received a call from my younger sister Joann who was staying at my mom’s house (prior to their transfer to Provincial life) insisting that I come over to talk about blog, the seemingly most recent hype in the family. My elder sister Ate already texted me to come earlier but I declined due to house chores on the line. But my sisters were really persistent this time so I said okey.

True indeed when I arrived there, all three laptops in the house were all busy on this thing they call blog, even my nephews were hooked on their own niche, and so was an aunt who arrived later in afternoon.

After some chit chat my sisters begun their Blog 101 lessons-one lecturing on the whiteboard, the other actualizing and demonstrating on the laptop. ...

My mind went berserk with the technical inputs, I am not an IT person, and all I know is basic typing: tinkering with machines was never attractive to me but my sisters assured me I would learn these things slowly along the way.

You see, we are a family inclined towards the field of communication- we are five sisters who were all part of our high school newspapers, we excelled in declamations , orations , dramatics , theater arts and the like- we took it from our mother, a teacher, an artist in her own right. We are also a female pack-the passion of the hearts, the depth of the mind and the profundity of the soul are all our domain.

Hence that weekend I surrendered to my captors, my sisters, as they made me their official mission that afternoon - to bring me along into this exciting world of blog writing.

And thus here I am now, hesitant and insecure like a feeble little
duckling not quite sure what to write, how to write, where to go about …..…

But what finally prompted me to do this albeit my uncertainties and fears, is that in this new experience- I travel beside and learn along two wonderful people, my sisters, and with them –I am sure this can only be a fun and wonderful journey.

Blog world, here I am now- please open the door with so much patience for me, teach me gently for I am still groping in the dark, inspire me for I am in dire, and humble me with best that I can share....
