The Day I Began to Blog

I was in the midst of a personal family crisis and is always online most of the time when I chanced upon Blogging in a forum in a local website here in the Philippines. There is no day or night that I am not in front of a rectangular box that is connected to a virtual world wherein I intend to find some level of peace of mind. Peace of mind on how to be able to raise my four kids whose ages are 7, 3 & 1 - twins & 3 adopted girls aged 10, 7 & 6. Their mother flew to another country to claim for support from her estranged husband for my stepson aged 7 and she is not expected to be back until early next year. I am left to fend for my kids. I am just hoping for the best and willing to learn and eventually earn from anything that I could get my hands on.

Our businesses all went down in the first quarter of 2007. I used to have a bar & restaurant, a private security agency and an entertainment training center. Some say that the Philippine economy is getting stronger but for businessmen like me, it is the opposite. So I rolled them all up and packed and hoped that I would be able to restart a business that I would manage myself. Unlike those businesses wherein I let other people handle and just kept on shouldering all the expenses and all losses.

I just silently took it all in and never stopped. Right now, I am on my way back and this time I am doing all businesses online. Just a couple of months back, I heard about blogging and I didn't know anything about it. But since I am interested to do businesses purely online so as not to be taken away from my kids, I inched my way to find out how this works. PPP is my very first in blogging. My purpose is to earn extra at least or if not the most out of this.

I really don't know what to blog about except that in my heart I want to rear my kids and give them a better life and I want to express myself in each turn that I make and every road I take. I am not here to earn and force money by copying other blogs. I just want to be me. I want to write about what I feel and oh I love writing! Not for money but to be able to express the imprint of my soul and I am not after statistics if people would read it or not. I am just wishing that through my personal input, some could probably relate and free themselves from the burden that they are not alone in this journey in the road called life.

Luckily for some, their roads were all smoothed up and clear. In my case, I have tried to use that road before and failed to reach my goal. This time, although I might be alone in my journey towards the dark, murky and muddy road, I am much more eager to trek the road less travelled and I do hope that I could then make a difference.
