Into Blogging

“Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don’t do that by sitting around wondering about yourself”. ~ Katharine Hepburn

I asked myself why I made this blog…Why? Is it because others are doing it and I want to be in it also? Is it because I have the talent and I want to show it off? Well, no. I made this blog so that everything that is inside my head and what happened to my life will be well-documented and will not be wasted. This blog will serve as a depository of everything – from memories, plans, ambitions, gossip, news, nonsense works and dialogues, all!

Just like what my science teacher told me, “Do not rely on your memory, because memory falters. Jot everything down and read over and over again so that you remember”.

And so is the purpose of this blog.

I am In WordPress

I have been blogging since 2010. I have used blogger and tumblr as my platforms. But just recently, I am mostly on the go so I want to use my mobile phone to write and post right away. I need a platform that can support my needs. I found it in WordPress since it is easy to manage.

I really want to become a certified blogger. I want to be a member of a blogger group and be with other members doing fun and exciting activities like product launch, food tasting, gadget testing, establishment opening and many others. Last night, I applied to be a member of the Davao Bloggers Society through their website. I know I am not good in writing but I wish they will accept me.

I am blogging almost everything, from my own personal experiences, travel, places, people, events and even products that I use. If given a chance by the Davao Bloggers Society, I will be blogging everything about Tagum City and the nearby municipalities so that people will know and be informed about the good things of these places.

Although the nearby places of Tagum City are not cities but rural areas, there are really nice places worth visiting. It is my aim to inform everyone that rural areas can be as exciting as the cities.

So starting today, I will focus on WordPress and I will posts my previous posts again but I will revised it so that it will be updated.

Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf 2015 Holiday Launch

I just attended the 2015 Holiday Launch of the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf here in SM Lanang Premiere. I was invited last Wednesday and I brought with me my friend, Mia Polly. I am a fan of CBTL ever since my Indonesia days where I bought 2 can of teas, the Moroccan mint and the green tea apple.

When I saw the post of CBTL about their launching here in Davao City, I immediately sent my entry so that I will get my invite. I told them that I like CBTL and I am so happy that they are in partnership with the Real Life Foundation.

I was so amazed that the activity was mostly attended by members of the Davao Bloggers Society. I am a blogger in my own ways, but I really do not expose my blog for others to read. However, I guess I changed my mind and I will be blogging seriously. I will decide whether it will be in tumblr or blogspot.

Well, we had a short program and activities. We had a short film viewing and the watercolor lettering. It was fun! There was snacks and lunch served – banana blueberry muffin, chicken sandwhich, unlimited coffee and spaghetti. It was yummy!

The best part was we were given the 2016 CBTL planner, a 500 pesos gift certificate and coupons. These made my day so complete.

The much better part was everything that CBTL is doing is giving back to the community, like supporting scholars of the Real Life Foundation. As a member of Victory Tagum, we also support and pray for the Real Life Foundation.

Thank you Lord, thank you CBTL for this opportunity. I am greatly honored. I will forever patronize your products.
