What's in the Name?

I BUILT THIS SITE A couple of months ago but it has remained empty until today.  

In my own simple ways, I always love to share the things I perceive- mainly those that I've seen and felt (including my thoughts especially when I am down), sometimes those that I've tasted, not so much on those that I've heard, and I am still working out on some lovely ways on how to include those that I've smelled.  

I had The Chook-minder's Quill when I was working in a poultry farm, my RJ Uni Diary during my challenging years at the vet school but the theme of those blogs, especially their name doesn't really fit with my current state of affairs so I started thinking to come up with another blog name.  I was considering and had been tempted to use  The Silent Water- the name of my column in our official student publication during my university days back in the Philippines.  That column was contaminated with a few issues back then, though, that a series of dilution and chlorination won't be enough to purify the grim memories I had with it so better leave it behind. 

I have been quite happy with Facebook Notes, it has served as a media to share my thoughts and feelings for a while, but it doesn't present photographs nicely and the layout is very simple.

One day, while I was busy on something I love doing, I thought about writing the feeling of living the dream straight from where I, exactly, was that time- the pigs' pen!  Hence, Written Straight from The Pigs' Pen.  Honestly, I also love the pun! 

So, watch this space!  I won't tell stories about hogs all the time, promise.
