Inner Voice (In the eyes of a blogger)

It has been two months now since I have started this blogsite, and in that span I have learned so much, from scratch, I was able to costumize the layout on what i feel best represents me. I have never imagine about getting into CSS and HTML tweaks, more so with some Macromedia and photo editing applications , but look, I am beginning to interest and understand these. Learning new things gives you a better outlook in life. But the main point of this experience is the way to handle things...how you express your thoughts, your feelings or sentiments and your understanding, the capacity of rational thought or perceptions.

Technically, blogging (from the word "Weblog") defined as a personal, even commercial site that uses a date format containing links and commentaries for others' views. The main content are the webmaster's aritcles which are regularly updated...too shallow.

In my point, it is a personal site of people's inner thoughts and their emotions (be it good or bad), honest views, observations, confusions, accomplishements, hapiness, desperations, solitudes, inspirations, beliefs, etc. It is their personal being that is symbolized and everyone is priviliged to have a view of them... it'll be up to us to interpret and reflect on these messages, dig and learn from them. I have read a lot of blogger's posts, seen a number of their sites and begin to understand how others define the meaning of life...some take it too seriously and some in contrast articulate it lightly. Some speak of morbidity, some speak of enduring memories, a lot are intellegent writers with excellent posts, some say it in few words, some are very objective, some are carefree and even some talk about their sex lives, defining every details...but I say, all of them are unpretentious people expressing their genuine thoughts. It would be up to us, readers, to construe their meaning and reflect on these purposes. It would definitely make us more wiser and appreciative.

The most striking thing about blogging is "meeting" a lot of "virtual friends", accepting their existence and trying to learn from them. It has been surprising to discover how people connect with each, how they think, how they react, how each one walks in when the world walks out. Indeed, though mysterious, life is not so lonely after all...
