I almost always forget October 20. Eight years ago today I published my first blog entry. From that day on, I’ve been blogging and recording my thoughts and my life in general. Most of my entries back then are, obviously, not up right now. They’re tucked somewhere in the internet, and I’d rather not re-read through them because they’re utterly embarrassing. One day–actually, yesterday–I randomly clicked one entry for 2001 and to my surprise I was talking about my conservative Catholic ideals and my dislike for the what I called the hedonistic lifestyle of my high school classmates. Ha ha ha ha! It’s disgusting. I even mentioned names. Diary kung diary.
Blogging started off a lot of significant things for me. It would take me some time to make an exhaustive list, which I unfortunately don’t have much of at the moment. Needless to say, it was through my blog that I got to know a lot of people, moreso the other way around. Blogging definitely played a big part in my life. It played not just a passive role on being a medium where my I recorded my transformation from a being conservative and naive high school freshman in Ateneo to the opinionated law student that I am now in UP, and all else in between, but an active role in getting me into where I am right now.
Here’s to more years of blogging for me! In four years I would have been blogging for half of my life, would you imagine.
law student, national democracy activist, film school graduate, photography hobbyist
I guess “Happy Birthday bikoy.net” is inappropriate, I remember vicrenzo pa yung domain mo when I first read this (so not really way back your Catholic idealistic criticising hedonism days). =P But happy birthday!!!
happy blog-birthday!
your blog is the equivalent of a second grader!
keep it up.
sa blogging mo ko nakilala…
happy birthday to you
happy birthday to you
happy birthday
happy birthday
happy birthday to you bikoy.net!
mabuhay!
-tonyo
congrats, bikoy! 8 years of candid, well-written blogging is something to be proud of. you and your blog are an inspiration. here’s to many more years!
Okay, that’s just so weird, that’s exactly what I told Vic when he texted me about his blog anniversary (okay, not exactly, I said if his blog was his child, second grader na). We are sooooooo alike. Hahahahahahaha.
i was in grade three when i was 8 years old
Sorry lang, not all of us are premature grade school valedictorians.
I blame the strict construction of some private schools of the DepEd (formerly DECS) that minimum age for first grade is 7 y.o. Boo.
Congratulations. Keep blogging.
Happy blogday Bikoy. May you have many, many more blogging years to come and sana ako’y maging kasing sipag mo. =)
Bikoy,
Hats off to you…
Cheers!
My blog’s birthday is on October 18, 2005 and for threee consecutive years I never always forget to celebrate it hehe.
We don’t know each other personally but from what I have been reading this past years I think that you are a good a person and I know soon you’ll be GREAT!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR BLOG!
***I think I’ve seen your secret blog before, is it in livejournal?
Happy anniversary sa blog mo, Bikoy!
Napa-cybersenti tuloy ako’t hinanap kung kailan ko nadiskubre ang blog mo. Di ko na rin matandaan, pero oo, nasa Vicrenzo ka pa nga noon.
Minsan-minsan, dumaraan at nagsusulat pa rin ako sa isa pang online journal community na member tayo pareho.
Sa ika-sampu, magsagawa tayo ng Bikoy.net fans day!
sorrreee. i’m no genius. plus i had nursery and KINDER 3, so i was 8 at grade 2
haha. but happy birthday nevertheless.
no way?! hahaha. we’re so alike. it scares me.
tell me when it’s your blog’s birthday and i’ll greet you to with the gradeschool equivalent of your blog/child. haha.
July 25. =P
I turned eight during second grade as well because the first time I had first grade, I wasn’t able to finish it (long story). I’ll tell you about it if we chance about the topic again.^__^
time flies really fast eh?
