I'm poor at memorizing birthdays and special events, and believe it or not, me and my ex-girlfriend had an LQ moments before, because i forgot her birthday. Last July 9 was my blog's birthday, and just like any special events in my life, i forgot it. My personal travel blog is now 1 year old, 1 year of journey and sharing my travel moments.
Before kevin the travel boy came to this world of blogging, I'm a BsTourism student, who loves to travel and take photos, alone most of the time. Most of my memorable travels during my college life is of course, during educational tours and some school projects that we need to visit a certain place to conduct a study.

This is one of the memorable moments in my college life, I dont personally know my groupmates that time, i feel like ma-oout of place ako, but I was wrong, after this trip, we became close to each other. So Close. |

A couple of years ago, I attended a travel event in SM Megamall with my friend Ralph. Then there was a program that was being held in the stage there that was conducted by ROX. That day, I've met
Dong Ho,
The PinaySoloBackpacker and
Christine Fernandez, a people who loves to travel, like me. Pinay Solo Backpacker aka Gael Hilotin was the one who encourage me to make my own blog.

Ok, I like to travel, take photos and tell story, but I know im poor at writing, so it takes a couple of months from the day we've met until the day I wrote my first blog entry. Nervous, because I don't have the confidence that i can write a good travel blog, until today. I received a few negative comments about my blog entries and most of them said that it has a lot of wrong grammar or choices of words, I know, and im not mad at them. I just think of it as a constructive criticism.
I wrote based on what I've experienced in the place that I've visited, it's like im telling a story.
Last January, i became a member of a group called Pinoy Travel Bloggers, and I would like to thank Ivan Cultura, who is my online friend that time. Then after climbing Mt. Timbac, Kabayan, Benguet also last January, I was added to PTB Bagets by its President Darwin Cayetano.

Those were some of the unforgettable moments after a year of my story telling in my blog. The priceless rewards from my efforts were not the free passes or free trips, it's the happy memories with these people. I thank god because I met them. And I'm looking forward to travel with them again soon.
Thank you.
congrats kev! more travels to come... and hope to bump you on the road some day.
ReplyDeleteYou're on the right track for pursuing your passion. Just remember that great writers are honed by time and experience.
ReplyDeleteTaking criticisms constructively is the right attitude one should acquire to become successful. But if critics go beyond what's ethical, learn to shield yourself from harm!
Cheers!
