Blogging ~ Our Informal Theme

          Before, when we were in our younger years, we also had an informal theme. We wrote our compositions in our notebook and our teacher would check it but this year, it was different. We had to do our informal themes using a blog. I really loved the idea and it made me feel happy that we will type and post our compositions through this.

          For me, a blog is some sort of outlet where we can express our thoughts, insights, feelings, and other more. A blog is defined as a site consisting of entries or posts shown in reverse chronological order, the recent posts appear first. Even before I reached high school, I already had an idea of what a blog is because I have been searching a lot of things in google related to games and I always saw them having ".blogspot.com" at their URLs. I was thinking to myself, how can I make one? Will I learn how to use it in the future? All of them were answered at my first year where we had a little discussion about blogs in our computer class.

          I already knew that blogging will be fun and interesting so I was really excited when I found out that we will use blogs to place our compositions. It really lifted me up: there will be no informal theme notebooks that will be hard to do. I will admit it, I was shocked when we didn't need an informal theme notebook but I was really happy about it and was even more happier when we had to do it in blogs.

          I prefer blogs much more because in blogs, I can show who I really am by putting designs, pictures, music, and other more. One can also easily organize their thoughts, well at least for me, in blogs. There was no pressure while doing the blog unlike in informal theme notebooks, there is a time limit and you are limited to only what you can write. I could express more my feelings instead of just writing them in a piece of paper that might even get forgotten. The internet is forever and it will last for centuries and the blogs we made will still be there alive unless we delete our blogs which is a really horrible idea because blogs hold certain memories. In blogs, I could also look at my classmates' blogs and posts. Seeing there posts makes me feel like I know them more and deeper. It's like I am connected to them. Another great thing about this is because of my handwriting. My handwriting is not really that good and I like it so much better when we just type and type.

          We are living in the future. We should embrace technology. We should leave those papers and pens. I mean, this is what it should do, right? We use technology to make our lives easier. What is technology for if we won't use it and stick with the items used before. The world is really evolving. Did you ever think that maybe we will use what cavemen have used before? No right? It is because of advancement and change. Change really is the only permanent thing in the world so we should embrace change because that is a part of life. I hope that in the future, especially in fourth year, if we will have an informal theme, we will still use blogs.
