I'm blogging again!

Everything has to begin with an introduction. And so here it is.

I have in my Facebook page these lines...

I've written them when I was still in college (about 6 years ago). I used them in my Friendster account and then when that got cancelled, I can't seem to let go and has therefore, decided to reuse it in my FB profile.

With every introduction, there is always the possibility of goodbye, with every hello - a farewell.

If I sound somber, that's not my intention. This is not the kind of introduction that I wanted for this blog. I wanted it to be fun, joyful, entertaining but more than that, I wanted this blog to be an honest reflection of my thoughts.

I' m saying hello to this blog ecstatic because finally, after several tries and attempts, I finally found what seemed to be a fitting title. But that joy is temporary because some time later, I found out that an officemate is saying farewell. I'd like to think of it as a coincidence but years of experience had instilled in me that there will be a lot of new beginnings but in the same vein, some old things eventually have to end as well.

And today of all days, in the onset of my trying to write an introduction, I have to be reminded that nothing ever stays the same.

So my thoughts are both that of joy and sadness but I'll set the sadness aside for later.

So why "finding. y buen."?

There are a lot of reasons behind it really. I wanted it to be finding.eden because I wanted it to be a travel blog but I realized that this blog wouldn't be all about places - it will also be about life experiences, things that would move me, songs and movies that would entertain me and other stuffs which may be nice and not so nice but all memorable and significant.

Y buen is playing with my last name Ebuen (I'd like to believe of it as a rough translation of the good). Therefore, "finding. y buen." is about finding what is elusive in life (and in these challenging times, could mean anything at all), finding what is good and ultimately, finding out the inner workings of my thoughts.

So yes, today I say hello new blog!

I command you to come alive.

With this command my commitment to always keep you updated.

And I am happy for your creation.

As mentioned, behind this joy however, is a certain sadness fueled by the fact that a little sooner, nothing will ever stay the same. I regret, early as now, the things that I will miss.

But life goes on.

Just in case you're interested, this is an excerpt of a poem I penned several weeks ago. Another coincidence I think.

I hope you’d read my next and future posts.
Thank you.
