Hello, eWorld!

About three or so years ago, I've been receiving a lot of emails from friends inviting me to "facebook". I do not have any idea what facebook is all about and I do not have enough motivation to try it as well. However, these emails became like 'pests' in my email in my inbox and no matter how many times I delete those facebook invitations, it seems that they are not going anyway soon. So I decided to confront facebook and tell "it" to stop bothering me.


To cut the story short, I ended up signing up so I would know what this facebook is (and why are my friends keep on inviting me to join this network). It took me a while to fully understand the purpose of facebook and I could not believe the enormous empire that was built through this social network site.


Well, I equate this new blogging experience for me to that of my experience with facebook. I am not really a writer person - I am more of a reader. I also don't think I have the ability to become a decent blogger. Sure, everyone can become a blogger, you say. Well I just hope you are right :)


My name is Honey and this is my first blogging attempt. 


I'm currently working as the Project/Funding Coordinator of a community group called  Migrant Action Trust, a grass-roots based organisation assisting migrants and refugees successfully settle in New Zealand. 


I do love tinkering around the internet but I never really thought of harnessing the power of the Net to gain formal learning. I am quite excited (and afraid at the same time) to know more about on-line learning since the way I see it, it is the only way to go. Who knows maybe in the near future, physically attending "real schools" may only be a thing of the past.
