Blog Challenge Day 12

How you found out about Blogger and why you made one

I love writing. It doesn't hurt that every now and then (explains why there are gaps between my Blog Challenge posts..lol), I find it the best release (for all those pent-up emotions). It's where I get to challenge and hone the writing skills I acquired from my parents (both were writers during their prime). To be honest, I'm quite the poser so I take pride in seeing (and cringing) whatever progress I've made where grammar, vocabulary and plain old wisdom are concerned.

Being part of a generation that can't live without the internet, I've known about Blogger's existence for years. It took me quite a long while though before I thought of permanently parking my thoughts here. I started blogging with Friendster, continued to Multiply and tried Facebook. I found all those too limiting for my taste. Friendster died a natural death and Multiply is now in a coma. Facebook, on the other hand, is like a colored broadsheet with its blogs as limited as the paid advertisements it presented. I have always wanted a glossy magazine  -  strict but artistic, formal but colorful  -  and Blogger presented me with all these opportunities to nurse my [ego] without sounding too trashy. :p

Blog Challenge Day 2

The meaning behind your Blogger name

I've always been a drama queen so for my blog title, I wanted something dramatic (Musings) AND original (Precious Full-Time Part-Timer). I didn't want to be a stereotypical drama queen so I took something from my previous blog names that accurately describes me: a full-time part-timer.

When I came up with "Full-Time Part-Timer", I had already been dabbling in several activities all at the same time. I was a language trainer at eTelecare Global Solutions, an events host, a magazine contributor, a layout artist and a blogger. And those were in addition to my being a daughter and a friend. I thought, since my name's Preciosa which translates to the adjective "precious" in English, it wouldn't hurt to add said word to my blog title.


***Still true but no longer applicable (refer to the new blog name with my name :D  -  Precious, 08/22/15***

My 30-Day Blog Challenge

Got the idea from a college classmate, Pauline. I thought, why not? I love writing and it has been a while since I've pushed and pulled my  writing skills. Her blog in Tumblr had me googling for 30-Day Blog Challenge posts and as it turns out, this one started a few years back and has different variations. There's one that focuses solely on fashion topics. But since I'm not into hardcore fashion, I'll settle for what I found at Bloggity Boop:
