There are 24K influencers with a reach over 20,000!How 15 Years of Blogging Changed My Life and Career
I never planned to share my personal life online. I never imagined I would become a blogger. But here I am, 15 years later, still writing, still creating, and still growing.
In those years, I’ve done a live TV interview, attended countless events both online and in person, collaborated with brands, traveled across the country, interviewed celebrities, and even joked about falling in love with one. Along the way, I’ve made new friends, lost a few, and discovered a passion that completely changed my direction.
What started as a creative outlet turned into something much bigger than I ever expected. Blogging was never part of my career plan. I didn’t study journalism or media. But even before the days of Myspace and BlogSpot, I was already filling journals with thoughts about love and life. Writing has always been a part of me.
I still remember attending my first media event. I felt overwhelmed and a little out of place. But the bloggers I met had so much passion and insight that I instantly felt drawn in. It was the first time I saw blogging as more than just a personal space. It was a community where stories, ideas, and real connections could thrive. That moment stayed with me. It made me realize that I truly wanted to be part of this world.
Since then, I’ve done everything I could to grow in this space. I joined webinars, attended events, and kept writing through every season. If you happened to read my early posts, you probably cringed at the grammar or shook your head at the rambling. Honestly, I needed an editor back then, and sometimes I still do. But every part of this blog, from its layout to the little design details, was created by me. I’ve learned as I went, and I’ve asked for help when I needed it.
This year marks 15 years of blogging. In a fast-paced world where attention spans are short and trends move quickly, staying consistent and being appreciated for your work is something I don’t take for granted.
I’m incredibly thankful for the brands, clients, PR professionals, and fellow creatives who have supported me. Many of them have become true friends, and each of them has helped shape the path I’m on today.
I’m also proud to be part of a mommy community powered by a major telco company in the Philippines: Madsikarte Moms PH.
It’s a growing, supportive network of creative, entrepreneurial, and resourceful moms who inspire and uplift one another. Being part of this community has opened new doors, sparked fresh ideas, and reminded me that motherhood and creativity can beautifully coexist.
If you’ve been thinking about starting a blog or sharing your life online, just go for it. Don’t wait for the perfect time. You might discover a new passion. You might build a community. You might even surprise yourself.
Blogging has changed a lot over the years, and so have I. But my love for storytelling is still the same.
And the journey is far from over.
