paalam sa piping saksi (farewell to the silent witness)


granted that almost all of us online people have facebook pages, not all of us have our own webpages that we could freely post a multitude of content - blog entries, pictures, videos, music, links, notes, calendar/events, and even recipes.

for the majority of five years, multiply.com had been my "webpage". i started that blog in april 2007, primarily to be able to see photographs taken by new-found friends during a holy week trip to Ilocos back then. writing any form of online journal had not occured to me before that, except perhaps a couple of posts on my old friendster account. with multiply, i was able to write more, share pictures, videos, (un-studio) music, recipes, as well as tell a story about myself in general. from interests to passions to peeves to artistic pursuits, i was able to share them. more importantly, i have made good friends there, starting from that fateful Ilocos trip. i will probably be re-posting all my entries here, as i'm quite primitive when it comes to cross-posting/importing. it's just sad that i will not be able to include comments and threads (most of which can be humorous, profound or both). my entries ranged from the mundane to the euphoric to the sappy. i'm thankful to have been able to share them and release steam in the process. and i'm even more thankful for those who went out of their way to read and comment on what i had to say.

i hate to say goodbye, but i have to, sooner or later. thank you for being the silent witness to my stories, to what i have to say, to what i couldn't normally say. 

we had a good run, multiply. and i appreciate that - more than what these words could actually say.
