When there’s a newly-opened mall, people rush to see what’s in it. When there’s a new iPhone model, we can’t help but be curious about its new features. When your favorite singer has a new song, you have this uncontrollable urge to check it out. It’s almost human nature to be fascinated by what’s new. Something is triggered in our brains and we instantly get turned on by the novelty of the latest things.

Well I’ve got good news for you! There’s a new weblog in the Pinoy blogosphere and it’s made especially for you.

The Year of the Pig will be a memorable year for me because it was in August 2007 when I started blogging. Marc encouraged me to join the Pinoy Blogosphere’s Buwan ng Wika Blog Writing Contest. And so I entered my first post, Ang Mother Tongue at Lingua Franca (along with its English version). Writing that essay made me feel like I was in high school again. It felt great to be able to express my self and my ideas. Blogging has allowed me to write anything and everything I want to write about. Every time I write in my blog, I get to live out my childhood dream of becoming a writer.
