I JUST found out this week that blogging is already 10 years old (13 for some).
To celebrate blogging’s birthday, I thought of starting a social experiment. This requires you to respond with a short description of how you got hooked on blogging. Let’s limit it to 50 words.
Let me start:
My daughter was born three years ago. It was the scariest yet most heartwarming feeling I had and I didn’t want to forget about it. So I opened a blog, and started typing away… I got hooked on blogging ever since!

for stress therapy, anger management, voicing my thoughts, sharing my views to the world, showing the funny part of me, etc. it’s a great way to open my heart.

Blogging isn’t just a social networking or a technology thing, for me it’s a way of taking out someone’s frustrations, despondents,and sadness. It gives me a freedom to share everything that I have in mind and soul.

I’ve always wanted to find an outlet for my gift to write and engage with other people in that medium of conversation. Blogging opened that “floodgate” so to speak.

I started blogging to share my newfound hobby(papercraft/paper modelling) to more people. It also feels good to see many returning visitors to my blog and receive emails from people around the world.

I’ve been blogging since 2002, and I am increasingly getting bored with it.
It has been fun writing about myself, my views, my thoughts, my relationships and my sexual life — even to the point of pandering bits and pieces of myself to the public just to gain readership.
I mean I had to stand out from the rest of the bloggers out there who also write about expressing themselves.
Now the web has become oversaturated with people wanting to express themselves. I mean, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.
It just got so boring.
