Blogging beyond golden years
- Education, Flip Blogs -
By Izah Morales
She’s 57 years old and is blogging for two years now.
“I’m not embarrassed to say my age because it proves that I’m still kicking and blogging,” says Marianita Girlie Villariba, educator, feminist and psychologist at the Education for Life Foundation.
Yes, Villariba is not your ordinary golden-aged woman who is afraid of technology and would rather stick with what is conventional.
“Parang may kulang sa araw ko ‘pag hindi ako nakapag-blog or nakapagbasa ng mga blogs [When I have not blogged for a day or have read others’ blogs, I feel that something’s lacking],” says Villariba.
Blogging has indeed become part of her daily routine aside from reading newspapers and magazines.
Her conversation with a friend who is into the study of babaylan or priestess led her to blogging.
