Testing testing.. uno dos tres!

¡Hola chico/chica!

¡Bienvenidos a mi BA 180.1 blog! That means "Welcome to my BA 180.1 blog!" Ha ha. 

About 6 years ago, my best friend, Lean and I set up our very first blog. It's something like the blog of music promoters' Loserboi and Backyy. No we were not Hiphop/RnB savvys who took turns in promoting new music worldwide; but more of plain high schoolers who thought had everything to say about our oh-so-myopic world.

That's Lean on left-most part of the picture! She's a model now!

Our blogsite (whose URL shall remain undisclosed, sorry) was made on a high schoolers' whim to be connected with all of our other close friends who already had blogs of their own. We decided to come up with one together to see how many would frequent our site and/or have the interest of posting comments to our logs... wow. Super shallow reason, I know! But remember, this was high school and blogs were the closest things we had to today's social networking sites (Friendster was slowly deteriorating around this time).

Eventually, Lean and I grew tired of updating our blogsite (Multiply was on a take off stage at this point) and we just knew we had to outgrow it. Pictures now became worth a thousand words for both of us (and the rest of the world) individually. On a side note, if you're asking if Lean and I remained friends, we still are today. Strong. Ha ha.

With a slight turn of events and now, social networking sites, a form of social media have reached greater heights-- and Facebook's just one of them! I'm nothing but amazed, considering how I've been resistant at getting my own FB account until only recently (last semester). Now there are more social networking sites that allow us to do more than blog all we wanted to. Best part about Facebook and all is that I feel so connected... not just through blogs but in pictures, links, everything! Again, it's amazing! Web 2.0 + Social media = win!

Here I am, 6 years older owning a blog of my own (for academics - SOLELY for BA 180.1; and for a better purpose - for building meaningful connections among my classmates and Sir Pabellon). Aww.

In a few, I'll be publishing this (my first blog entry) and all I can think of now is... cyber-chronicling will never stop.

Hopefully, my guess will be as good as yours.

    I'd rather have Twitter though. Teehee.

    Hey ya'll, if you're one of Alin's stalkers or admirers, I suggest that you visit this site more often. Nothing to lose, you're just some anonymous person anyway. So comment. Show how much you care. HA HA HA HA HA. :| :))
