Bloggig ad Plurking

I also have an account on Plurk but I don't use it that much. The trouble with Plurk is that you have to be online at that precious plurk moment. Of course you can plurk with the mobile phone but I still find it inconvenient.

Take the case of my trip this morning.

I rode a bus from Pangasinan to Manila at around four in the morning and took the window seat right behind the driver That meant of course that I would have the east and the sunrise to my left. As we sped down the hiway, the sun rose. The sky turned from deep blue to shy red. Finally, the sun itself peeked then climbed to its place in the sky. Then clouds rolled in and covered the sun but a small opening was left so the sun sent a shaft of light to tell the world that it was still up there.

As I watched out the window, I was thinking this would have been nice to share. Alas, the bus was moving too fast to get a good shot. Also, I had no computer (I would not want to open it anyway even if I had, it wouldn't stay still).

I would have liked to share this on Plurk. Those one liners are great when you want to tell people how you felt or what you saw at a particular moment. After the fact, it's not so exciting anymore.

Maybe I should sign up for mobile blogging

I realized about a week ago that May 2009 was my busiest month as far as blogging is concerned. That doesn't say much about me as a blogger but in a way I am happy that I was able to sustain it as nearly regular as I could. That is really one of my aims this year, consistency in blogging.

Since I was a kid, I've always wanted to write. It's been an outlet of my feelings, whether I did poetry or fiction. My mom kept most of my early works though I admit that at least one of them was a sort of direct criticism. Mothers don't really see that. Most of the time, they see it as a good thing because their kid has done something that many other kids can't.

I look at blogging as a sort of public diary. Since it's public, it's also a practice for good writing. I mean, it should be understandable. Good grammar is important, as well as proper construction. I've always been more comfortable writing in English and what you have here are some of my practice sheets.
