Genesis

Everything has its origin, we know this from a fact. From the various creation theories of the world down to the legends we grew up in, we believe that nothing came to existence without a source. Some might rebuke or oppose this statement but I know most will concur that everything is created. Today is nothing special in Philippine History but it marks for me a beginning, an origin.

Reading a friend's most recent blog entry made me reminiscent of the times when I used to regularly maintain a journal of my own. Today is mostly my recognition of a common Filipino phrase we can all relate with:

"Kung kaya niya, kaya ko din."

It has been a while since I started writing my thoughts online, four (4) years ago to be exact. I remember my friends and I used to own a private online journal only we can access. Malditas, as we call our journal, aimed to bring us together despite the physical distance separating the three of us. The online group journal served its purpose unfortunately, we were only able to sustain the journal for a year. We continued to rely on YM and Facebook to keep in touch. Then I tried Friendster's blogging capability as a personal journal, sadly, it suffered the same fate as the Malditas' journal. I guess it is safe to say that both have long been deep-sixed. In a sense, this initial blog entry did not spring from oblivion. I have these two online journals, though abandoned, to validate my earlier assertion.

As I look back on my previous journals and attempt to look into my blogging future, I realize that blogging is a life commitment. I have to commit my precious time and my puny creative talent in making this possible. The success of my blog lies on keeping it regularly updated, relevant and alive. Something I see as a BIG challenge for a time juggler like me especially faced with stringent work and graduate school deadlines. I do hope that my training in time management and discipline as a student athlete six (6) years ago is enough to support the momentum or interest.

Like the Genesis story of creation, I would like to think that my blogging world is a process. I, as the creator, would also need a few more days to get it up and running. It will be a work in progress, not perfect and unending. A personal journal that would portray in a few image and words how everything that exist in this world go. Through my words, allow me to communicate the obvious; confirm or deny; uncover the big picture; create discourse; show the zests in life and the human side of every story. I aspire that everyone and not just Bruce Almighty will see that this is the way the cookie crumbles.
