It seems just yesterday when I was thinking of ways on how to publish my writings…
I recently finished writing my autobiography about the ups and downs in my life, composed of more than 200 pages. I wanted to publish it in print but I had no resources. Then a friend showed me her weblog, a sort of web journal, which of course got me into this new hobby.
My life story is now published up in the internet (in my DIGITAL BOOK) with readers from around the globe and all walks of life (from DH in Hongkong, to U.S. Navy men). I wrote and published it up in the net so to let my friends and relatives back home know that though I'm struggling, I am surviving. Never thought I would give inspiration to other OCW through the blogs, and I am so glad to have found friends in them, emailing me about how I touched their lives. With the weblog, I get to enhance my writing skills, publish it online, and get consistent readers from around the globe, and get their feedbacks instantly.
It seems just yesterday when technology made a difference in my life…
Technology is addictive I must say but at the same time it’s fun. I am presently maintaining 4 personal websites, plus, a professional site for a teacher’s organization (DC Area Writing Project), and a class homepage. The blogospehere just brings out my creativity; my being a writer and teacher…it brings out the best in me. I got hooked the first time I used this technology!
Then in August 2004, I was appointed as the new DC Area Writing Project Technology Liaison. If not for my knowledge in blogging, I wouldn’t be able to maintain the DCAWP weblog and they could’ve gotten another person for the TL position.
So PUNZI, with your question you left in my tag board: "how can you keep up with all these blogs?", obvious ba, addict ako :D...may nakaka-relate ba sa akin?

I can! Not in exactly the same way though. While I guess I'm already bordering on "blog-addiction" in a matter of speaking, I'm also deeply fascinated by hi-tech gadgets, computers and peripherals, mobile phones, gaming consoles, and hi-speed internet access.
Someone suggested I get a girlfriend. I think that person may be right. :-)
Cheers!
Wag na, Ron! Ok na tayong ganito. (Naghahanap talaga ng karamay...)
ARVIN, this addiction is contagious, as I once said to a friend and I am telling you now...buti di pa nagagalit misis mo sa kakababad mo sa computer...hahaha
SHA, ooohhh, I love the nature. I miss nature tripping which I used to do when I was still a sweet provincial girl. Yes I guess it would be wonderful to reconnect.
MAILA, I just told Arvin I told you this addiction is contagious especially when your friend spreading the virus is really into it...hahaha...and I am...sige lie low ka muna, plano ko rin eh.
LWS, kakatuwa ka, you tell funny anecdotes and I like it when you share your story. I'll be waiting for your come back. BTW, di ko pa rin makita ang entries mo sa blogs mo, ba't kaya?
RONALLAN, smoking is addiction too, buti you were able to quit. Ah, when you're eating, sleeping, and spending much in these gadgets, I guess that's addiction. Di pa naman siguro? good. Pag nagka-GF ka, it's another kind of addiction :D
PUNZI, kaw talaga, pag-nagkaGF ka ng matinong babae, sabihin mo. UUwi ako para makilala ko ha.
hi marisol,
still working on the questions.
i want to be addicted. although i am quite an addict. sometimes the beauty of being a mom hinders the compulsion.
@punzi - wag ka na mandamay... you already had a chance, baka si ron allan e kelangan na! he he joke lang
Sol,
addicted talaga. kaya hanggang ngayon i don't have a pc sa bahay, otherwise i won't be doing other things.
dito lang ako sa office nag-aacess sa internet. siguro kung may pc ako sa bahay din probably i would be doing a lot of amusing and interesting things. hehehe!
BING, naku! even my daughter is a techie person, and my husband too...we all are addicts, it's in my family! About the Q&A, I'll be ready when u are.
ANTONIO, hmmm...maraming interesting things sa internet na nakaka-addict, tanong mo pa sa asawa ko :D
sa amin, si partner ko ang adik sa IT ako adik sa kanya....hehehe...
Ummm...medyo. Hahahahahahaha...:-)
