Captain's Log: The Maiden Voyage

I begin this blog in a land away from my native home, and in a language not originally my first.

This is a recognition of a call I have been ignoring for so long, isang pagkilala sa katotohanan na ang siyang dapat isulat ay dapat nang isulat.

Since the language of my heart is Filipino Tagalog, I shall occassionally write in Tagalog (there are some things best expressed in Tagalog). Yet since the language of my mind is Filipino English, majority of what I write shall be in English. My basic education was greatly carried out in American English; so while I am in great awe of British English, most of my writing will reflect my schooling.

I am thankful to those who encouraged me in beginning a "blog". I am thankful to those who shall take the time reading entries. I am normally averse to anything beyond the comforts of pen gliding across paper, but in the 21st century, one must be a continuously evolving knowledge worker. Hence my openness to starting this "blog".

Mabuhay ka, Kaibigan, kung sino ka man. Umaasa akong sasamahan mo ako sa paglalakbay na ito.

Tara, biyahe tayo.
