Nostalgic much?
I was reading some of my old entries as I was looking for a particular entry I needed and I realized how much I miss blogging on a regular basis. Back in the day, I used to blog every week (even twice a week sometimes). Those were the days when many people were so into blogging. I found many blogs of interest that I religiously followed. I made many friends through blogging. At first, we were basically just online buddies, but later on some became my "real" friends. Those were good times, really.
Nowadays, fewer and fewer people are into blogging. Because of all these network sites and busy schedules probably, people have become too lazy to blog or just simply don't have time to blog. And, I also noticed that because of all the status updates and tweeting, readers have also become too lazy to read long entries. I don't know, but I, for one, like reading blog entries more than the short updates that are very much in fashion these days. I enjoy reading the thoughts, opinions, stories, and experiences that people share. I believe people have so much to share and I have so much to learn.
Don't get me wrong, I like tweeting, as well as reading tweets and all these status updates. It's just that I miss "real" blog entries. I miss all the story-telling. I miss all the interaction in comment pages. Most of all, I miss all those brilliant bloggers who used to be so active and whom I used to read regularly. You see, most of them have now stopped blogging and have resorted to just tweeting and updating their statuses. It seems to me that a lot of bloggers have "outgrown" their blogs. At times, when I try to check blogs for new entries, finding that the bloggers haven't updated in months or have shut down their blogs really saddens me. It feels like saying goodbye to an old friend.
That being said, I'd like to say I want to go back to regular blogging. There is so much to write about and share. Blogging does me a lot of good, too. I hope this time I can stick and live up to this, especially with my internet connection at home now fixed. And, I hope to write better entries. :)

Pati nga ako guilty din. Dati-rati nauubos ko ang oras ko sa mga internet cafes sa kakabasa ng blogs nina Ala at nung iba pang may mga magagandang blog. Nalungkot nga ako nung madalang nalang mag-post ng entry si Ala.
Pero ako, I promise na after board exam, seseryosohin ko pa lalo ang blogging. Bahala nang walang magbasa. Haha. :D
pero siguro di na maaalis sa akin ang magblog :) mga ten years na yata ako nagsusulat ng journal online eh :) saka kebs pa rin kung binabasa or hindi ng mga tao ang blog ko, kasi i write for myself, not for others.
di ba yun naman talaga dapat? para sa sarili mo kaya ka naagba blog. :)
'Ika nga ni Mareng Judai, I do things to satisfy my passion, to satisfy myself! O, 'di ba? May sa showbiz din ako? Hehehe:)
and yeah tama tlga... keber tlga if walang nagbabasa sa posts. after all, you do it for yourself. =)
