Pinoy Blogging @ jAneP
penny January 30th, 2007
It’s interesting how blogging has evolved into this new “media” that is getting a lot of hoopla. Of course this mutation from a sea of disconnects into a “blogosphere” is only natural once you have the bloggers getting a grip on what they have in their hands. Some are clever to recognize that “content is king”, and are getting good hits in their blogs. And the rise of pinoy bloggers as a breed of new heroes can be a bit overwhelming… but then again, maybe not too much. It’s often inevitable that Pinoys would steal the scene in a popular medium as blogs. Don’t you agree?
Still there are still the rest of us who blog for our own pleasure. An avenue for emotional diarrhea if I am permitted to say so. A lot of incoherent junk that gets put up in the strangest of times. Eh? Yes I know it’s junk. But it’s our junk, and I love it! I’m sure Ajay agrees. It’s much his junk as it is mine anyways =P
It hasn’t been a decade when I jumped into my concept of blogging at blogspot, and nothing much has changed in the way I perceive it now that Ajay and I share the same page. So instead of speaking now about my concept, I should really say our concept. We started weblogging here in jAneP (aha! thanks to my friends here who started using that lettercasing, I think it’s really cool) not really thinking of a theme, but a merging of our “web personas” silverhoundus and purplepenelope (hence the SilPur life, to state the obvious, a parody to “a simple life”). Hmmm, I think drizzling this post later with our peyups avatars* would be nice, eh?
A new dimension to jAneP emerged now I’m away from the Philippines. It may have not been apparent to others, but this site has meant much more now more than before, if it is possible. It really is fascinating how far your presence can be felt, and how simple it can be. I would take this for granted sometimes, but blogging keeps me home. Sounds silly, but I do see and feel that blue ribbon that Globe Telecom uses in its visual ads somehow. (O! Libreng advertising yan ah!)
As for our concept of blogging? I don’t see a reason why it should change this year, called by Joey Alarilla as the Year of the Pinoy Blogger. Ajay and I will still be cruising on as we always have. Blog on!

Preview Bamboo’s new single: Tatsulok. Sana makapanuod ako ng concert nila dito sa March.

Hey Pen! Sulat ka naman ng mga hindi siryoso.
haha, seryoso ba yan? ano ba? =P
I just have to leave a comment. Can’t resist the urge.
I agree with what you’ve written. It can be overwhelming to realize the fact that blogs and bloggers alike actually play a big role in the society nowadays, especially for the Filipinos.
Just for the record, I started blogging to release emotional shit and have been doing that for years. =D
Wow, Bamboo made a revival of the song “Tatsulok”? Weird. I never thought that they’d go for underground progressive music. [Few minutes later] I like their version, not at all that similar to the original one. Somehow different. Pero Buklod pa rin. ^_^
Hi Shari, salamat sa pagbisita! Idagdag ko lang sa sinabi mo na “big role in society”… para ito sa mga probloggers: “with great power comes great responsibility” hehe.
Yeah, I was slightly unseated when I heard that Bamboo revived “Tatsulok”. Wonder if the song defibs a stir this time? I doubt though…
full speed na ang probloggers na pinoys. overwhelming ang response at kapit-bisig ng mga pinoy bloggers.
mas masaya paring ung dotboard dati. hehehe
oo nga miss ko na yung Quickdot! =P
we can have another quickdot board here. problema nga lang, inactive na yung mga ibang kasali rin dun.
o nga AJ, dapat may forum kahit man lang tungkol sa shows na pinapanood natin or sa movies or sa mga gimmik or lakad ninyo, occasions, bdays etc.
@Pen – I’d just like to rephrase that. “With great money, comes great generosity.”
Iba pa rin talaga ang dating ng version ng Buklod, pero we can only hope that with Bamboo’s remake, mamulat ang kamalayan ng mga kabataan.
Hopefully, the song will bring about many questions about the current state of the country, lalo na ngayong malapit na ang eleksyon. Talk about timely, hehe!
I’m gonna be blogging about the song, with a tongue-in-cheek reference to this post.
