First Time Blogger: Oh, How I Love First Time!

Hello world! I am a bit nervous... Obviously from the title itself, this is my first time to blog and I am not born a writer. Can you all bear with me for I forgot the rules of grammar and I don’t know the form of writing a blog. And I am afraid of criticism. This is not really my thing, you know writing about anything and people will see it publicly. I write in my diary though (of course, only me seeing it) but... Let me tell you how I've come up to this. Maybe for friendship’s sake? hahaha! Well,let us blame our big fella (hahaha). He just gave me quality friends, when I say quality, beautiful inside and out and smart. Smart? That is a big question why on earth I am with these intellectual people. I mean from the saying "birds of the same feather, flock together"? I really don’t think I belong to this group (hahaha). I was just kidding. I know why i have them. So many reasons, no need to say it in public because they know it. Now, why did I just mention friends here? They are just the reason why I will have my first blog ever (woohoo?!kinda hesitant still.haha!). My friends Erin, Orange and Lany.They believe in me I think. So here it is. They have their own blog sites but they want to have one with all of us together so we could share our different insights on random things. It's like having coffee and conversation which we usually do and all love. Talking and exchanging thoughts. Kinda intellectual on the last part (feeler!haha).

The story behind. They have been planning this before 2012 came, now its almost half way of 2012 before they have convinced me (haha!). I have so many fears ofcourse the reason why it took me a while before I said yes. And I really don't know what to tell you guys. I'm stumped. Im always like this. I have so many things on my mind but I cannot express it very well. But now, I tried. Maybe the reason is I want to conquer my fear. My fear of 'what will people say' by 'making mistakes'. It could be the hindrance in doing my best i guess. It just made me realized that if i wont try, how would I know my mistakes. And making mistakes is part of our life. It is an art. The art of growing and overcoming your frustrations, insecurities and worries. And this is just a simple way of facing reality. Facing your own anxiety. I have so many fears specially trying new things because i might not do well. Until, I've become used to it. When I got out of my comfort zone. I mean when i was out of my 8 year relationship, a lot of new things for me came. If you would allow me to tell you a little story of how I was when i was there. Well, I was one of those girls who cannot go out of the box. Sad to say my life then was just my boyfriend (ang corny!hahaha!). That is why I never tried new things for me until I was out of it. I know, the magnificent one helped me get out of it. And new things for me came. And it helped me grow in so many ways. I've become self reliant. And I get to know myself very well. And somehow I was able to conquer my fears. And I have the best feeling always after I've done it. And this blogging thing? I know I will learn a lot from this. And now, I didn't realize I've composed two paragraphs already. I know there are so many points to improve and I'm willing to listen to all of your comments.

Why will I be afraid of committing mistakes if it will help me grow? And sooner I will be a good blogger. And before I end this, let me tell you few of my first time...

My first ever out of the country. Thailand is the first country I've visited and if I will recall, my first time to ride on a plane too. After this, I've become addicted to travel. I get to know myself very well in every places I visit. Though expensive, I find ways to make it practical yet unforgettable.

My first ever serious run. Before this, I had different runs but this I must say is the first serious one. I took 10 kms for 1hr and 40 mins. Not bad for a first timer though.

My first ever run with no stop. Took 5kms for 42 mins. My goal was to finish it without stopping or walking and I've made it. And the lesson I learned during the run? It pays to be patient in a distance race. Maintain a steady speed for the majority of it so you’ll have energy to finish fast. You’ll know it works when late in the race you start picking off people who passed you in the first miles - nikerun. It's like your journey in life, if you aim too fast to the finish line, you might not enjoy your journey.

My first ever sport. I never thought I would have a sport. When I was growing, my parents didn't exposed us to any sports until I have my job. It maybe too late for my age but naah, I am enjoying it. And this sport helped me improve my confidence.

My first ever skim boarding. I was afraid of falling. I got injured and fell so many times but it was worth a try.

My first ever poi dance. This helped me improved my confidence too.

My first ever height conquering. I was one of those who have fear in heights but I've made it through Cebu's skywalk.

My first ever alone travel. I was there not on leisure but to try a new path. I took the chance when an opportunity came. No matter how I was afraid on how it might end, I tried. It didn’t end up happily but the adventure cannot be replaced.
