Resurection

Back in 2008, after getting my Bachelor of Arts in Communication from Colegio de San Juan de Letran, I worked as an English instructor in a computer school along North Avenue, Quezon City. This is where I met a man known as Siopao Master, who later on introduced me to the world of blogging.


Equipped with my passion for writing, in addition to the training I got from my Alma Mater, I asked Siopao if I can contribute blog posts to Siopao Heaven since I don't have a blog of my own at the time and I didn't know how to create one for myself. Fortunately, he supported the idea and I was able to use Siopao Heaven as a freedom wall where I was able to express my thoughts and ideas on various issues and topics that capture my interest, including but not limited to video games and sports.

Thanks to Siopao Heaven, I got mentioned in The Week for an article I wrote about an all-white basketball league in January 2010. A few months later, I got bashed by people for giving my opinions on the candidates running for president during that time. After these experiences, my passion for blogging grew stronger and it led me to create my own blog, Lone Opinion.

For two years, I filled the archives of Lone Opinion with rants and reviews, among other things. But after October 2011, a lot of stuff happened and I couldn't find the time to write something on my digital freedom wall. Fast forward to 2015 and I realized that I miss blogging. And while I can't promise myself that I'll do this everyday, I feel like it's something I should do on a regular basis just so I have an outlet for all the ideas locked up in my head.

So after three years, Lone Opinion is active again. And I hope this time, it will be enjoyed by more people than ever.
