The NENO's Award

Two of my Blogger friends granted me the latest award for this blog: my friend Goddy Ramirez of "A Friend Named Goddy" and pareng Dennis Dumaup of "The Absurb Mind". I had a long and busy workweek (yes! that's how I spent my Holy Week...) and when I opened my emails today, I was surprised that I got this award like an Easter gift from these two good friends. Goddy and Dennis, thank you so much guys.

As a requirement for accepting the award, I am stating below the reasons why I love blogging:

To discover the "writer" in me.

Ever since my high school days, I always envy a close friend because he was contributing regularly some articles for our school organ. He has been encouraging me to write but I guess I was not confident and courageous enough to try it. By the time I was already working, I tried submitting some articles to my province's weekly newspaper and luckily enough some of them were published. So right now, here I am writing my own blog/journal.

To meet new friends.

I met one of my best friends in cyberspace through blogging. Mr. Goddy Ramirez was asking me some tips and pointers on how to start his own blog. Today, this blogger friend of mine is a consistent award giving body for my blog.

To learn.

Most of the articles and topics in a blog are basically based on the writer's opinion. Reading these postings would make one learn what are the author's views on some issues. Blogs would also allow us to interact with the author and the exchange of ideas is a healthy learning process.

To express myself.

I always find it hard to express myself in person and conveying my feelings and ideas through my blog is like an outlet for me.

To share with others.

Though this blog, I could share my ideas, my experiences and anything worthy to share with my friends both in cyber world and the real one.
