Preparing For Take-Off
April 19, 2008I’m officially starting this blog on this entry. I’ve wanted to start three years ago when the buzz over this new trend in cyberspace came up. Unfortunately, I was too lazy to even make an account. When finally, I made my first one on blogspot, I didn’t know what to write. Or if I did, I was at loss for words. Most of the time, I just stared on the screen, waiting for the muses’ whispers, for inspiration that never came. I still have these problems until now, but I guess I will never be able to start unless I start typing these words down.
The constant urging of a good friend (more or less) inspired me to finally start this thing. I had previous entries before but those were requirements. I can’t say I didn’t like writing those—but those were requirements, acads, I guess you get the point. Well, my friend, my writing partner in class a year ago is so into blogging, I think he’s even obsessed. I can’t figure out where he gets his ideas, how he can write so many entries and even manage more than one blog at a time. Well, he likes writing a lot. I think I do too, but I’m too lazy to rack my brain for ideas so I just sit on the bench and stare at the wall, or text people to text me, or play Nature Park on my phone, or eat. Pathetic, I know. But that’s why I’m writing now. My mom said that I should just write and write even if I don’t know where I am heading to. And so I will.
