It’s my second time to join iBlog. I just accompanied my kids (Jeric and Dianne) at iBlog4. I joined them at iBlog 5 (2009) because that was also the time I engaged myself in blogging seriously. We skipped iBlog 6 (2010) due to hectic work schedules.

I was absent the first day but I was glued to the live streaming broadcast of Ms Janette Toral. Though I am almost 3 years into blogging , and a few months into podcasting, I still have a lot to learn. It is a different world from what I usually do, but I have to blend with it, to keep up with the changing times.

There were only a few in the audience who were within my age bracket, was I left out or my children would say O.P (out of place)? That was my initial reason why I blog, I don’t want to be left behind, I want to be involved in what my kids are busy with. Cool mum ha!

Most of the iBlog7 attendees were young and have the capacity and time, to explore more of the Internet, like blogging, gaming and social media applications.

Anyway, iBlog7, is a wake up call for me to do better blogs, by focusing on content, being involve with the community and as a mum provide support to my kids in making their blogs and podcast appropriate to the needs of the times.

No regrets on my part that I have bought microphones for Jeric so many times when he was in the elementary grades. He had this mini karaoke and microphone as a gift when he graduated from nursery. At 19, yes, he is into what he likes, podcasting.

To the new bloggers, young or old, it’s never too late to learn the ins and outs of doing a blog. For whatever reasons on why one blogs, I just hope this is not temporary or just an outlet for the time being. As I have experienced incorporating my blogging activities with my usual work, my reasons for blogging have evolved through the years. I cannot just stop blogging and close my website for I know I have duties to fulfill to my readers, my patients and my students and that is to inform and to educate.

As always ,”I will never stop being a student “, iBog 7  is lifelong learning for me.
