Entries in category "etcetera"

Yes, I decided that I'm leaving this 5-year old blog of mine making this entry the 203rd entry I made. And nope, I'm not deleting this account just leaving--permanently. This serve as a 'remnant' of my stay here. My time here was indeed memorable and not to mention worthwhile. So I just want to bid farewell formally as I can--drama aside.

 

It's harder than I thought to start this entry. So I'll just start by asking myself questions instead.


What's the reason you're blogging here? Why Tabulas?

~I'm stalking someone here--straightforwardly. I'm not contented commenting on her as a guest. I want to subscribe to her daily rants as friends entries are filtered in Tabulas. Unfortunenately, she's not updating anymore. Telling her how I am inspired by her writing probably wont reach out to her at this time. But it's ok.

Eventually, I started filling my blog with useless rants, then random thoughts for the day, gradually evolving these thoughts to a coherent, well-said entries. I was pleased with the outcome. I was a self-proclaimed writer then people started to notice this knack of mine. All this endeavors rooted out by just being inspired with a person. I (felt) I had no talent but having had the ability to write my thoughts eloquently felt like an achievement to me, along with it was also enhancing my english prowesses.  I even had the chance to be part of our theater club in high school as a script writer with this developed hobby. Then I started writing stories, I literally fell in love with writing. I was carried away with my own thoughts as I process every single thing in my head.

 

Why am I leaving?

1. I'm busy. I can no longer manage this blog much like before. Now I can see the difference between college and HS. In HS, I could be concerned with such trivial things and even have the time to blog it, unlike now. Also, I got a lot of time in my hands then. Just imagine the time I allot in drafting my entries, changing layout (READ: via HTML) and managing in general. It takes a lot of time. Whatever, what I mostly blab about here was that of trivial pursuits, I was a growing teeneager then. Still in the path of confusion and self-discovery. I think I've matured enough to keep petty stuff as it is. But in the process of writing I was able to find my true self (oops, cheesy line!) If I wasn't able to pour my hearts out as a problematic , spoiled teeneager with bottled up emotions I might end up slashing my wrist like an emo. But heck, I was an emo, quite an emo.  I've realized that after rereading my entries--and totally laughed at some. 

I'm not an activist to constantly blog about daily happening in and out of my life nor I am not a paid writer who do writing for a living to be obliged to write. It still beats me though I did not end up taking journalism or any english related course. Having said that, hopefully God has better plans for me.

 

Ok, I'm wont be making this any longer, seemingly in an attempt to write a novel. But I say this again: I'm really grateful with my time here, it wasn't a waste for sure. Things has really change, my views, attitudes change. This blog has reflected a part of my high school life and I have seen the contrast of my past and present.


Big thanks to Tabulas, for hosting this blog (which in truth was just added bandwitdth, haha!) To my friends here, thanks for reading/commenting. Though we could only extend our relationship online, whether you came and go.

 

Yes, the ARCHIVES is our friend now. I'll be rereading some. And of course net junkie as I am will continue to be online and open online accounts and updating a very bit from time to time. I'll be hanging around @:

Once I purge all in my head, ineviatable suffering of mental diarrhea ensues. Hence, nothing is retained.

 

It can't be helped.

It’s not that I refuse to talk about my life recently here, when a blog should most likely contain the 'what-I’m-doing' status and daily happenings of the owner, it’s just that I don’t feel like writing them all here because after all my life is but mundane, typical, and it will bore you out if I’ll narrate it in detail. I presume that there will be hiatus in my blogging activity for the meantime. All I do nowadays is to procrastinate, study and probably sleep. Nothing happens really as exciting as days during summer. Due to the presence of school, I am programmed to do limited things, mostly heavy but boring tacks such as school work.

I’m missing stuff, getting behind and I feel the urge to get a life.

HIATUS for now…maybe.

I was sick. I hate being sick. And who wants to be anyway? When it does happen, I feel I get way far behind. I had a case of fever/ingestion/hyperacidity/excessive vomiting/can’t eat all at the same time. I have to miss school, miss my history, anatomy, and euthenics class for that. Pity. Others are preparing for work while I’m stuck in my bed literally the whole day. What a waste…

Actually I had an attempt of going to school. I took a bath, ate as usual and I was even on my way to school riding a taxi and midway, I had to told the driver to stop and went the opposite direction to go home instead. I felt a bit of self-pity there.

This is not an entry written to catch some sympathy but an indication of how I’m left behind. I have a lot of catching up to do, both school and daily life itself. I have to make up for my absences to catch up with work and to my to-do list.

*Gonna do some major update when I feel all well*
