i had been blogging on and off for almost 8 years now but under a pseudonym. those blogs had a total of 10 readers. it didn’t matter. i was not after the hits. all i wanted was an outlet where i can voice my opinions and express myself clearly. i started a blog as a coping mechanism since being in government—with all the ugliness of bureaucracy and politics—can drive anyone with my temperament insane.

and blogging kept me from being bored.

but when i started to work for a newspaper, my blogging became sporadic. when i became an assistant business editor, i didn’t have enough energy left to even blog about things, opinions, etc.

when i joined Interaksyon, i barely updated my blog since—i don’t know. i felt like i don’t have anything to say at all. besides i had Facebook where i can pour my angst and irritate my friends who get to read my reklamo sa buhay.

I also had my twins. They keep me from having a straight 8-hour sleep since April 11, 2011. Until now.

So why suddenly come out and blog under my real name with my complete identity in full view of the world?

Let’s just say this is an experiment.
