My Untold Squidoo Story: A Lensography

I started squidooing 5 years ago, August 8, 2007. I discover it through the help of my amazing Superhero Grandma GramaBarb. At that time, I was on the verge of recovery period after undergoing my 3rd reconstructive surgery so I was completely bum waiting and a college dropout of Psychology.

I was missing school so much that I didn't have any means to cope up the boredom due to my condition called "Idiopathic Carpotarsal Osteolysis", a genetic bone disorder. Through blogging I met so many support and amazing online friends some sort of a 'lifeline'. Somehow through writing I learned to take things into a more clearer perspective that in whatever circumstances you are you have to believe in yourself and make the most of it.

I remember my first lens is about the Philippines where I am residing all my life. From then on, I created lenses influence by anything that fancy my curiosity from the simple pleasure of life, good food, my enormous pride in Asian culture, a thought provoking book, my eclectic taste in music and listing my dream travel destination.

It is never really a doubt that I love writing. I love Squidoo and I love the internet. I love anything that has to do with writing but writing about yourself is never an easy task for me. But as I go along the way, I never thought I'll enjoy sitting here sharing some of the bits and pieces of my life, thoughts, concerns and what it is like being at my side of the world.

At last in September 31, 2008, I was given the privilege to earned the Giant Squid Status for having 50 lens and earning some of the spot in the Top 10 list and my Easy Homemade Empanada Recipe Lens making into the overall Top 100 list for almost 218 days. In February 13, 2011, I had the privilege to be invited as one of the Squid Angel.

Now I'm keeping up 300 lenses and counting in my lensography list and the ideas never stop. It is what a joy for me to enjoy learning new things and never stop on creating something worthwhile to impart knowledge and to be able to inspire and be inspired.
