It is evident among the youth nowadays that the Internet is one of the “must-haves” of a teenager. This internet provides a lot of opportunities for people to connect with other people all around the globe. One of these methods is through the use of a weblog or simply “blog”. I, too, am an avid blogger for multiple reasons. Blogging has taught me a lot of things over the years.

I have been a blogger for more than two years switching from different domains. I was influenced by one very good Agnesian friend of mine. But now, I’ve settled at only one domain. Blogging helped me a lot in my life so far.

At first, I felt that blogging was a waste of time so I rarely blogged and worse, they were the shortest posts one could ever read. But I learned that blogging really helped improve my life. One way is that there was improvement in my social life. I was able to relate with some of my fellow bloggers and became closer to them.

Through blogging also, I found an outlet for my emotions. A blog is like an online diary where you can let out everything that you feel from happiness, fear, love even to the deeper emotions. It is free-for-all and nobody can judge what you say—IT IS YOURS. I treated my blog as my friend where I expressed most of what I felt and all my experiences. My life story is pretty much engraved there.

In the mental point of view, one thing that blogging has taught me is the use of HTML codes. I learned all of this by testing the waters through template editing. I got a base template and from there, I started learning new codes and thus improving knowledge.

Most blogs have links wherein new connections are found. From one blog, we can find another blog and caused the term bloghopping. Some people link other people they don’t really know but they can relate to. Through bloghopping, we get to open our eyes to other lives of other people.

The main point of having on of these is that it is an art. Blogging is an art of expressing yourself through words, pictures, sounds or even videos. Over the months of my blog life, I have encouraged a lot of people to try blogging and luckily, it has been working out.

I encourage all my fellow Agnesians to try to come out of their shells. Express yourself. It will feel good. Look for a host domain and enjoy blogging. It is good to tell the world what your say is.
