In The Spotlight

This tag is courtesy of Dom Lawrence, OSB; a Filipino Roman Catholic Benedictine monk brother of the Monastery of Christ in the Desert, Abiquiu, New Mexico USA.

And with this, I have fulfilled my obligations to all my friends who have sooo generously tagged me.

What makes your blog unique?

I believe that every person is unique. Though my blog may just be one of those personal blogs out there… but none of them is iRonnie.

When did you start blogging?

I started blogging around March of 2004 and it was all Ate‘s fault. Seriously, I am grateful to her for introducing me to blogging.

What do you hope to accomplish in your blog?

When I made my blog three years back, I really don’t have anything in mind to accomplish. I just wanted to have a space to write my thoughts and about things happening in my life. Now? I think it is still basically the same. Though I do hope to gain friends out of it.

What’s your favorite childhood memory?

Well I really don’t have any favorite in particular. Though I miss those time when I can go invade my playmates/neighbors’ house any time of the day.

If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three things would you want to have with you?

1. A laptop with an unlimited supply of power and has an internet connection.
2. A comfortable sleeping bag.
3. A sharp jungle bolo.

Do your moral values affect the way you blog? if yes, why?

It does. It is inevitable. The way a person acts, decides, speaks, and blogs… is guided by the values he believes.

However, I recognize that my values are not absolute. And so to combat the temptation of judging other people, I placed a wise saying by Mr. Coelho on the upper right portion of my blog which says,

“We can never judge the lives of others,
Because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation.
It is one thing to feel that you are on the right path,
But it’s another to think that yours is the only path.”

What is the weirdest thing that ever happened to you?

When I was a kid, I thought I saw a clown standing on top of our neighbor’s tree in the middle of the night and gesturing as if he was blessing our neighbor’s house.

What is your worst quality?

I am impatient. Period.

I won’t be tagging anyone for now. Though I would appreciate if you could share your answers to questions that have appealed to you somehow. Now don’t be shy…
