A friend recently discovered I have a blog and she asked me that question. I was stumped. Why do I blog?
I started reading blogs when I goggled for a my niece and her husband, who I know were both working for a call center. I was doing a research on the operations of call centers in the Philippines then. I got one search result which had both their names and guess what? They were mentioned in a blog by their firend who also works for the call center! So I took note of the name of the call center and tried to find out some more about the company. But I always went back to the blog of their officemate. This girl can write and she is funny!! I put her blog site among my favorites and every once in a while, I check what is going on with her. She inspired me in a way. She writes about her family, her career, her lovelife!

So that got me started. When I was starting to write my first posting, I thought - I must think who my audience will be. Am I writing for a pre-defined audience? Who am I blogging for? I blog for me. I write my thoughts so I can read them back. It is like reading your diary and opening your photo album at the same time. And maybe someday, when I am old and grey and do not have the ability to write and use the computer anymore .....
