new blog title: Whatever Makes Me Happy
it was in 2006 when my pregnant mind gave birth to this personal blog. that time, i had so many thoughts and questions in my head but was too lazy to write a diary the old-fashioned way so i turned to technology.
my first try was a Friendster blog in january 2006 which i titled "Ponder and Wonder." that time, i just finished my contract with the Supreme Court of the Philippines with no intention to renew, was waiting for an EU-funded project in La Union to commence where i would be a member of the project team and was struggling to keep a relationship which eventually faded away. Most of my entries were sad, depressing and dramatic albeit very deep, creative and profound sometimes obscure and with hidden meanings.
then i signed up for blogger in March 1, 2006 and titled it "Postcards from Heaven." i originally intended to use the site as a photo blog to feature my travels around the Philippines. I subtitled it heaven is a place on earth, only if we bother to look. As you can see in my first few entries in this blog, i have nothing there but photos and captions.
By late April 2006, i met Fil and everything changed. I was lying on a bed of roses again...i was happy...and i ran out of sad thoughts to update my friendster blog so i got rid of it. It suddenly became irrelevant, i even deleted most of my entries without even bothering to keep a copy in my files.
But i decided to keep this site to continue to inspire me to write, to think, be creative and share. After i met Fil face-to-face, i was overflowing with happy thoughts and experiences. The title "Postcards from Heaven" no longer represent my blog posts so out of nowhere, like manna falling from heaven, i grabbed the title "Whatever makes me Happy."
Yes i still believe that heaven is a place on earth only if we bother to look. Heaven is the simple everyday ordinary things that make us happy. It is our daily adventures. It is making other people happy by being happy yourself.
