my debute

Hi to all!
It seems that blogging is all the rage nowadays.
I have been wanting to have my own blog for quite some time now.
It has been years to be exact.
I just didn't have enough courage to enter the blogging scene yet.

So, finally, today as I am sitting in my office, I stumbled upon a few blogs that managed to influence me to write.
I am not really into writing.
But somehow, I have a lot of things that I think of in my mind.
So, I needed an avenue to channel those thoughts onto something more permanent.
Hence the name of my blog.
I hope you won't find it tacky.
Blogging is the answer.
I used to have this notion that bloggers are narcissistics.
How shallow was I?
Not al bloggers are narcissistics.
I will elaborate on that later, perhaps in my next blog.

As of now, I am taking a breather from checking my students' journal entries.
So far, they managed to capture and retain my attention.
I guess, instructing my students to write journal entries is a good way for them to practice their writing skill.
Because I may not have enough time to come up with more formal writing assignments.
I ask my students to write an entry of at least 5 paragraphs each time we meet.
We meet 3 times a week so that means they will have to write at least 15 paragpahs each week.
I might share a few interesting entries with you guys in my next entry.

I can't tell you how glad I am of this moment writing my first entry for my second blog.
Ooops! Did I just tell you that this is my second blog?
Yes...I unashamedly admit that this is my second blog.
I had a blog previously but I finally decided to cancel it.
I wasn't ready to have that kind of commitment yet.

I'm sorry, it is now 1305 Hours.
I need to stop blogging now.
It's Friday.
I'll continue later.
Thanks for visiting.
