\"Vote<\/a><\/p>\n

I<\/span> am often questioned, “why do I blog<\/em>“? Well, personally, I find it to be very nurturing, a form of my stress-reliever and a hobby. But penning just these reasons aren’t enough. As I’ve mentioned in the about-us<\/a> page, blogging is one of the most essential tool of communication with our families back home. It is often used to chronology our travels<\/a> or daily rants for the ease of our family’s to keep abreast of our activities.<\/p>\n

Ever since I was introduced to the blogging world, I’ve discovered many hidden gems<\/a>. Some of their writings are based on fiction, comedy, personal rants, politics, social and much more. The possibilities are endless. One of my favorite blogger is Reema, from My Random Thoughts<\/a>. Not only because she has recently bestowed the immaculate Addicting Blog Award<\/a> to Chatterbox, but the way she manages to make blogging look so simple and exciting. She rants about her daily life as a college professor, a M.E. student, friend, daughter and a sister. Her blog carries multiple topics and tones. An array of spices for different moods, I’d say \ud83d\ude42 Head over to Random Thoughts and get to know Reema your self \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
