The thing with blogs is that it takes a while before you can write. You turn on the computer and wait until you can use it (believe it or not mine takes almost 30 minutes to start up.). You then connect to the internet (poor me, still on dial-up), fail, and try for x number of times until you can finally connect. And then you start checking e-mail, your friendster account, some message boards that you're a member of but you just lurk since you don't have anything witty or interesting to contribute, your friend's blogs which you think are much more better than yours, etc...  and generally forget about writing whatever it was that you wanted to write about and now you have to leave the computer since other people still have to use it. (My, we love our useless long sentences.)

Of course there's old pen and paper to jot down the thoughts that unexpectedly hit you in the head, but, thanks to the wonders of technology, I type faster than I write. (Now there's something we could've done over the summer, work on improving writing speed, but no we just had to be a bum and play games on the PS2 every single game and stuff.) Now I'd like to get my thoughts written down as fast as possible and a keyboard would do the thing and it's much more comfortable than longhand. Why don't I just deal with the pain and stuff and use pen and paper? I pretty much like to be in the spotlight and this blog can sort of do that. Why store all my thoughts and observations on a diary, wait for some war to happen, hide away inside a secret living space inside the house while still updating the diary, get discovered by the oppressor's secret police force, get sent to a death camp, die since that's what you usually do in death camps, have your father survive the whole ordeal, make him go back to your old house and find your diary which he will reprint and pass along to friends and family who then pass it on to their friends and family who pass it on to another group of people who pass it on to people who pass stuff on to people who... until your diary becomes a classic account of life in those hard times and gets translated to several languages and becomes required reading for english classes in some catholic girls-or-boys-exclusive school, when you can just upload your thoughts onto the internet and have an instant audience because instant gratification is always better than long-term benefit right? And yes, that long sentence had Anne Frank's diary in mind. I haven't read it yet and I wasn't required to read it (but my sister was) and it's been in this house for maybe 6 years already.


In any case, I suck as a writer.

(Oh yes, public self-depreciation would be a sure way to boost your ego by way of your friends, and sometimes complete strangers, who would cheer you up and say that you write well)

Yes, I'm moving on to another topic. I usually just give the stupid emo posts their own space, in respect for their being emo. The mindless ramblings like to clump together and have parties where they mindlessly ramble about anime, manga, life, not having a life, schoolwork, and on very rare occasions, politics.

The rains are here again.

Yay!

I like rain. There's something about a mild drizzle that gives me some weird sense of comfort. Sudden showers and downpours can prolong a stay in a friend's house, be the source of myriad excuses, and grumblings about not paying attention to the nagging feeling of bringing an umbrella when you were leaving the house.
Rainstorms and Typhoons can cancel classes and stuff. No, I'm not going to be hypocrtical and say that I care about the economy and the people affected by these storms. I guess a little part of me cares but the rest of me gets happy when classes are suspended. Give me a break, I'm in college, I only have maybe two rainy seasons left when I hope that it would rain so much that it could drown the whole school. After that I'd probably be grumbling about having to trudge through flood and traffic just to get to work.

Yep, even though rain makes you have dirty, muddy, feet, making you regret wearing slippers that day, cause major traffic jams in which you are stuck in a stuffy jeepney for what would seem like eternity, flood the whole neighborhood, cause your dad to have an irritable temper, and thus, force everybody to clean the house, and a whole lot of other inconveniences, and also the fact that a lot of sucky songs are inspired by rain, I like the rain. No I'm not being sarcastic, seriously.

I bought a DVD of the 7th season of Gilmore Girls and I'm kind of disappointed to see that it's incomplete. "Kind of" since I had the feeling that it was incomplete and that I saw that it only had 10 episodes on it when I previewed it. Anyway it gave me 3 days' worth of entertainment. But maybe I should've just gotten a Will and Grace DVD... hmm...
