Going back to blogging


Now I go back to blogging again. My last posting was on 21 Oct 2016, three years ago. I looked for this Blogspot when I was told, the BLDF website had expired and had to shell out something like Php 80,000 to get it back. I requested the contractor to just hold on to the content because as usual I am plain broke and would have to raise the money for it.

My son, Odoni, had to teach me how to get into it and start posting.  Here we are trying to get the hang of it. I was surprised this facility is still tracking the number of those who visit it. During the past two years or so, I merely shared to this Blogspot my weekly column in a local paper. I did not have the energy to write new stuff for it.

But now, at 77, I find more intense the need to document my thoughts or what I am doing for what purpose, something like documenting "final thoughts on our way out" as we used to say in our campus paper decades ago. Of course, there's a different context for that phrase now. While in the past it used to refer to thoughts we had prior to the closing of a page prior to submission to the printer, this time it refers to  our final exit from life on earth.

This is jus the intro to finding this page again. We hope it will be welcomed by both friends and relatives.

1.34 p.m.  Time for my delayed afternoon nap here at home. #
