Writing

A friend told me that if one wants to be a good writer, she must write everyday. She must start writing about something or anything. The main purpose of which is to exercise her writing skills and hone any natural or nurtured skills she may have.


I wonder if everyone who is trying to start this habit, started writing about writing? I wonder how many times have i wrote about writing?

In order to write something, you need to be motivated to write about that something. Writing does not come out of thin air. There is a push and pull effect when it comes to retelling a story from your own perspective. One needs to be inspired to take the words of life and others, add a little bit more and make it into your own.

Without new ideas, new angles or personality, it is plagiarism. it will be just copy-pasting words of another and signing it with your name. I am reminded that there are no new ideas, just "repackaged" ones.

The next logical step then would be reacting on newspaper articles, oh how cliche. I guess that is why high school teachers makes you do it in class. However, critiquing news articles or writing about news only matters if YOU care about the news or the issue.

Good Morning

Its now been almost 2 months since the official breakup...

Ive been moving on. Trying to find out who I am again.

Last night I was with friends and we watched "He is just not into you". It was a good movie, because it was timely. I was with 2 other girlfriends who was just recently single... But not as recent as me. After we went to a dinner of another high school friend.. it was fun. Although, there is this loneliness and sadness just went its about to end. This is not something new. Even when i was in a relationship, i always was looking for something more.


I want to be able to go home and not feel lonely.
I want to be able to drag him to chick flicks with girlfriends.
I want to love with no hesitation.
I want to be able to say... that he is the one.

What is me:
1. I like to socialize.
2. I value alone time.
3. I do not do games.

the rest of my life

I can picture the rest of my life very well.

how to get there is the tough question.

Working for nothing worked for a few months. now, i feel that i am not growing anymore. It doesnt help that everything i do, is moved by my motivation for money rather than my passion. Maybe I should quit now.

Let me apply to call centers first. :-)

Life Now

This may become my most "grounded" post ever.


Right now, staying single works for me.

I think I am finally tired of meeting the dream guy at absolutely the wrong time. I have always said that if I listed down things I like in men or my future husband, he has it all. He absolutely WOWs me. However, like I said I met him at absolutely the wrong time.

What will classify as a wrong time? Wrong time is when he has given up dreaming of a family for him. When you to meet in the last 6 weeks of his 2 year stay in the country. When you two had just the most thought-provoking and uplifting conversation in your lives but he has to board the plane before sunrise.

Isnt that just wrong?
