As I re-live my Multiply account, I realized how overexposed I am on the internet. In a not-so-alarming manner though. From Friendster, to Multiply, to Facebook, to Tumblr, to Twitter, I’ve made friends *you know who you are :)* from different parts of the globe; I’ve seen how God worked in my life when it comes to handling my emotions, being responsible in every post or action, and not to mention my progress in writing as well, compared to my tag-lish self on Multiply.

Oftentimes it’s how we balance the two sides of a coin. The internet can poison a person, but it can nourish him too. With the stories shared, discovered similarities in likes and interests beyond culture differences, and with each photograph filled with screaming pain and guffaws, I feel like I have a family, a second home, online.

I have met not only honest-to-goodness artists, musicians, and photographers, but God also allowed me to see His inspiring work in the lives of other Christians from the other side of the land. He had knotted our paths halfway. 

I know this is also an avenue for stalkers, or interested readers I should say. That’s where exclusivity comes in. Every time I open an account from yet another social networking website, I make sure personal data are set on private. Crimes, bullying, and hate mails have already destroyed the lives of some people. It could be a blessing or a curse.

As for me? I feel blessed to be a part of the community. With my almost 6 years of blogging in different domains here in the world wide web, I’d like to thank each of you for your patience as you see me grow, support and prayers, and of course I thank you for spending some time with me here in my little home.

This is going to be a start of a new decade. The climax of it all will be revealed soon as my creative juices flow. I’ll try to post more personal stories and photos here as soon as discipline and right time management peek.  

Again, thank you, readers!

Inhale love above all xxo
