It's quarter past 7 in the evening and I'm sitting here in my little apartment in the city of Köln (or Cologne). Windows are slightly opened to let the cool air come in. Fortunately, we are now passed the heat wave that occurred throughout Europe the last couple of weeks. Coming from a country in the tropics, which is the Philippines, I may be used to the heat but still I prefer cool temperatures - sunny with cool breeze is my kind of weather.
This lovely and peaceful evening is a good way to start writing.
By the way, hello! I'm Pam!
As a short introduction, I am a 32-year old Filipino currently doing my PhD here in Germany. I am not a writer/legit writer but I love writing down my thoughts. As a child, I used to have those so called "secret diaries". Secret diaries that eventually become not so secret when your sibling sees them and probably showed them to your parents. When I was in college, those secret diaries got upgraded into online diaries or blogs. I started with a platform called Xanga (which doesn't exist anymore). Wrote a little in Multiply but it's purpose is really for uploading photos. In my 20's, I discovered Blogger and had a blog called Emancipation on going. I've been writing on it for almost a decade now and it has been such a wonderful experience. It's my haven online - a place where I can just write whatever is in my heart. However, now that I'm in my 30's, I feel the need a start anew. And today, this new blog Of Wonder and Wander is coming out into the blogosphere!
I'm hoping to share my interests (such as travel and photography), candid thoughts about life, plans about the future, and many other things. Well, basically, this is again a place to pour out my thoughts and feelings.
