I cannot say with certainty which of my motives are the strongest, but I know which of them deserve to be followed.”
– George Orwell: Why I Write, 1946

A cultural blogger’s virus known as MEME was passed on to me by Becky.  I would like to relate  my reply to her meme with  the meeting I had with  my online friends from the blogosphere.

First EB Summit in Manila 2007

It was a memorable and joyful experience.  Being there with them, seeing and hearing them was an education in itself!

Hmnnn…let me emphasize this word :”experience“. I am a person who does not only see but I observe. I do not only hear but I listen. I do not only breath but I live.  Life is my school where I learn. What I learn is what I want to share and I want to write about my experiences in living this challenging but beautiful life.

In this experience, I wanted to add the famous words or inspirational thoughts of people who learned to live their lives. Quotes which have a healing or peaceful touch.  Quotes taken from a hard earned life or from a blissful life.  Whatever is the history behind a quote, I believe it is gained from EXPERIENCE.

This is the reason why I blog, because I believe, any experience has that wisdom to fill us up, has that power to transform us and  lead us to what we can be or to what we want to be!

Three months in the blogosphere is not enough for me to judge which one is outstanding. However, I would like to mention some blogsites which at my first 15 minutes of reading its content, gave me a strong impact to think and then ponder; to admire and then smile and subsequently to be grateful…I found that blogsite!
