Blogsary

Woohoo! I've been blogging for a year now, though I haven't had any posts for the last month or so, and I think its appropriate to commemorate the day I started blogging.

Looking back, I asked why people blog. Well I think writing is really a great outlet to express your frustrations, anger, anxiety, happiness, excitement and boredom. That is if you CAN express your thoughts through writing.

When I say writing, I mean pen and paper kind of thing. Blogging is different because with it comes the knowledge that anyone in the World Wide Web can have access to your entries no matter how personal they may be (unless you save them as drafts). For me blogging served the same purpose as writing with a twist. Somehow, I was hoping that those people I loathe will come across my entries and feel my wrath. Hahahaha! However, knowing that the people I hate are familiar only with Yahoo! and Friendster, the chances of them reading my entries are nil. Unless I advertise my site on Friendster and Yahoo! Mail.

I don't know why but I have been hot headed these past few days. My poor brother has been the recipient of my frequent outbursts and yelling. Tsk tsk. What's happening to me. This is not PMS as I have had my period last week (unless PMS means POST menstrual syndrome, then yes I have it).

I learned recently that I got a 1.5 on my technical writing class. A 1.5 when it was me helping Yela out through late nights! I submitted a lot of rush articles just so the newsletter would push through. I put captions on the pictures, Yela and I did most of the work, damn it! And now I find out that those who submitted but two articles get a higher grade than me?! Sheesh! No, I am not expecting a 1 but a 1.25 would give justice to the efforts I put. The only comfort I have regarding that subject is the knowledge that she failed the evaluation BIG TIME. I'd be cruel if I say that she should be out of UP but she should. I learned a lot more from the internet than I did during her classes.

I have a certain sense of animosity toward alcohol drinkers especially those I know. My dad's an alcoholic and it hasn't done him any good. I fear that those I know would end up just like him. I mean, can't you talk about trivial stuff without the involvement of alcohol? And if the reason is to add "the feel" to the moment, I think that is a very very lame excuse. Its so ironic how alcohol could have medicinal benefits yet in turn could kill you.

President GMA gave Joseph Estrada presidential pardon. She's so sucking up to the masses. The whole point of EDSA II revolution was flushed down the toilet along with her credibility. I can't believe the Philippines has been under her claws for almost ten years! She should have not been allowed to run for president last 2004. Oh well.

Halloween to all of you. May the spirits be with you.
