Thanks to my friend’s motivation I’ve decided to start my very first meme and see if it happens to catch on. So basically the intention is to find out what people have gotten from blogging. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a material possession, it can be something like a new job, or a reference in your community, or simply a personal achievement.
Blogging has given me:
- Playstation Portable
- Cellphone (Sony Ericsson K750i)
- Universal iPod Dock and Apple Remote
- iTrip Nano for the iPod Nano
- Over 3 dozens of various Manga books
- a nice Microsoft Wireless Laptop Mouse
- Various Web Design books (around a dozen)
- Various DVD Movies (around 20)
- Various assorted clothes (I can’t really recall how many)
There are also other things which aren’t material, but have helped me a lot over the past year. Blogging has allowed me to take my mother out for dinner for instance, which was something that I always wished to do. It has also allowed me to give my girlfriend a special gift from time to time.
In terms of personal achievement, even though I don’t intend on following journalism as a career, it has allowed me to take advantage of the writer’s vein from my father, who was a journalist for the longest part of his career, and my mother that was also involved with journalism.
David Peralty, what has blogging given you?
Blogging has given me a lot of things! But the most important would be the non-material ones like satisfaction, time for my family, and peace of mind.
Of course, some of those non-material things are also brought about by the material ones (like having better living/working/playing space at a larger house and being able to buy a car).
