Yoshke.com is a product of romantic love.
Seriously.
In March 2005, I fell in love with a guy for the very first time. This incident affected me so much that it stirred something inside me. I was raised in a very conservative Catholic environment so there was a surge of emotions when I realized I was falling for another person with a wiener winning stick. I was afraid. I was ashamed. I was frustrated. I was happy. I was sad. I was mad. Ultimately, I was confused.
This confusion pushed me to find an outlet where I could just express myself. And so this blog was born. Thank Heavens I got confused.
That’s why this blog is very personal. Its origin and growth were propelled by real experiences, curious thoughts, and honest emotions.
When I read my old blog posts, I can’t help but be disgusted with myself. Haha. I was very cheesy, very shallow, very volatile, very immature. I can safely say that this blog have grown with me. It has become a good reflection of what I was before, who I am now, and all the changes in between.
Me, me, me. Yes. Because this blog has become a significant part of me, I sometimes call it the “Full-of-Myself Blog.” At the risk of sounding ego-centric, this blog is all about me. Like I always say in jest, “I’m so full of myself; I just need to share some of my experiences, my observations, my ideas, my thoughts, my writings, myself.” Not like anyone needs it (or wants it).
On a serious note, I’d like to think that this is about life’s little inspirations. That’s why this blog’s tagline is: Blogging at the Speed of Life.
Once a friend confided, “Yoshke, I want to blog. But my life is so boring; there is nothing to blog about.” I told her that there are many things about life worth blogging about. A lot of things happen around us but we don’t realize that they can all be inspirations, and give insights. Every person has a story. Every place brings back a memory. Every object triggers an emotion or a thought. What I blog about are these ordinary, average, little things, people and events in my life.
I’m a nobody. Nothing about me is extraordinary. All I can do is share some words about the little things, little happenings, little lives around me. But I have always believed that the universe is fueled by things common and little. And I hope that my personal experiences and thoughts would somehow touch, move, or inspire others the way they inspired me to blog. Even just a single person. Even just a little.
