Why a "Travelling Blog?"

I started writing for my web-log: “Cara Mo An” sometime in the middle of August 2007, as a matter of enjoying my new found small happiness while indulging brief interval of rest at any given time.

It becomes a leisurely experience squeezing literature out of my weary mind with the prodding of the heart. Writing becomes doubly encouraging with the aid of multifaceted facilities that are just click-away under the environment of world-wide-web.

This compilation is a 35 pages hard copy of those pleasant moments spent wisely. Printing production was made possible by computer desktop publishing. And proudly to say, I myself lovingly do the bookbinding of those first batch copies, and eventually commissioned the professional expertise of Visa Press in fixing the succeeding voluminous prints.

Recalling my formative academic years spent in my hometown school, I felt some longing ness then for materials of literary genre to satisfy my appetite for reading and somewhat awaken whatever latent endowment I might have on creative writing.

That memory of inadequacy, now serves as my inspiration to dedicate this humble work to all schools around my hometown, Caramoan; to share and spread the good habit of reading and possibly inspire the young ones to gain proficiency in creative writing.
Reaching out to budding writers in my hometown is my foremost consideration in reproducing this in printed form. Like them in my time, I too, thirsted for some material references to nurture the muse in my mind. Thus, I aptly call this: Traveling Blog, a vehicle for those who share my love and appreciation for literary arts.

The realm of consciousness on blogosphere, bloggers or blogs are not yet prevalent in the rustic
nature of lifestyle in the countryside such as my beloved hometown, Caramoan, a peninsula, 4th class municipality in the province of Camarines Sur, Bicol Region. I have chosen to launch this
maiden voyage of “traveling blog” into that uncharted blogging world in my homeland.




Let this blog keep on rolling.
