I'm back after a long hiatus. I've accepted the fact that while in Manila, I'm stuck with dial-up prepaid cards. I'm up 12mn to 8am to browse, blog and comment on free off-peak hours. Globe Telecom is a long way from Pasay, believe me. I doubt their broadband will ever reach me. DLSU has wi-fi capability and is 3 blocks away but they say I'm out of the reach of their network. Huh!?
In the meantime, I got a gig as a freelance writer! To live my dream is the most exciting thing to have happened. Technically, I have a secondary education but in the real world I have a PhD. It's great to be able to share street smarts on a superior IQ lol!
As a blogger I'm censor, writer, editor, proofreader and publisher all at once. The Blogger site is my medium and advertiser. As a freelance writer, I have my editor/publisher/administrator to go over my stuff. It's hard work writing for a publication with even a limited circulation. In fairness, my blog doesn't get that many readers yet. I've toned down my rhetoric (which isn't all that) to be politically-, gender-, religiously correct on print.
As to what I enjoy, it's everything all at once. Freelance writing can pay for those pre-paid cards and my phone bill. Seeing your words on paper is not a bad thing either. I can lose the by-line, I love my anonymity. But I love the freedom of blogging and the release of my rants even more. Let's see what happens next.
