It's been years since I last posted in this blog http://swimmingpoolfaq.blogspot.com. because the last time that I posted my ideas here no one really gave a crap about them. It's hard to write about something that you love and are good at, when few listen to or appreciate what you have to say. This blog was an epic waste of time, that's what I told myself.Professionally, I have been helping architects, engineers and swimming pool owners fix their swimming pools for decades in the Philippines. I have managed the swimming pool properties of corporations, embassies, International schools, universities and resorts in the Philippines. Together with Judo and martial arts, constructing and fixing swimming pools are my passions, legacies that I had inherited from my father.
Given my experience I decided to make this blog seven (7) years ago. I thought that swimming pool owners deserved to have a knowledge base whenever they had trouble constructing, fixing and maintaining their swimming pools. Building, maintaining, and owning a swimming pool is a commitment just like maintaining an expensive sports car. It's a work in progress. This is why I believed that swimming pool owners needed every tool and assistance available to them, especially in the Internet, to solve swimming pool problems that they faced.
A good idea, lost in time. An epic waste of time. That's what I thought.
The funny thing is that last week, while I was editing one of my websites, I decided to take a look at my old swimming pool FAQ blog. And, to my surprise, people from many walks of life, all over the world, and not just Filipinos, gave a number of positive comments and reviews about it.
I was wrong. And you, dear readers, are right. This blog was not an epic waste of time. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.
Humbled, I realized that pride, my weakness got the better of me seven (7) years ago. I had given up a great many good things in my life because of pride, and this blog was just one of them.
Thank you for your kind comments and suggestions. Because of you, I will continue to contribute more information in this blog. I will answer your swimming pool FAQ's the best I can, given my limited abilities.
And, in the process, we could make every swimming pool in the world a happier and safer place for swimming! =)
