Alright!

This is my first “official” post on wordpress. The first two were previously posted on livejournal, and I just moved them here a few minutes ago. Don’t ask me why I chose wordpress over livejournal. It’s just that most of my friends use wordpress, so I thought it might be a bit better than livejournal, but how should I know. I mean, really. I’m still new at this.

This is actually my second go at blogging. Like I said, I used to have an account on livejournal, which was pretty much useless, seeing that I only had like three posts on there. After that, I just got tired of doing it because I was not really the type to rant about my life (or anybody else’s for that matter) on the internet.

But all of that changed.

I met some interesting people over a month ago on some group on friendster (If you do not know what friendster is, it is the same as myspace, facebook, and cyworld). At first, I just wanted to join the group because they claimed to be the pride of the city I was born in (Davao City, Philippines). So I thought, “I’m proud to be from Davao. Why not join this and actually become part of the so-called “pride” of the city?” So that was what I did. Click click, and there! I became part of the Davao’s Pride group in a matter of seconds! (Funny what the internet can actually do to your social life in just two mouse clicks.)

When I met all those people from the group, usually the ones who are most frequently online, they kept on ushering me to start a blog.

“But what would I write about?” I asked. “Anything!” They said.
Wow, that helped a lot.

Then they told me to check their sites out, so I did. And as I was reading their posts, I said to myself, “Hey, maybe I can actually do this.” I have seen and read a lot of blogs from various kinds of people, and, to be honest, I felt really intimidated by how they wrote their entries. People wrote them in such a witty way that you’ll never expect such trivial matters to be so humorous. Plus, they usually had a theme. Like, for example, a blogsite dedicated to an artist or something like that. Bottom line is I have never come across a blogsite with so many topics to talk about, which I found in practically all of the DP (Davao Pride) members’ blog posts.

So that’s why I decided to just write about anything. Absolutely anything. Even if it is a kind of spur-of-the-moment thing or a consequence of insomnia or just a rant about an idiotic issue. If those guys can do it, then I can as well! I mean, they are even getting paid to do it!

The hell with that!
