wow...I'm actually using an online journal. that one's for the books. before anything else, let's make something clear; why should I (or anyone else for that matter) write in a journal? that question bugged my mind since my net-addict sister introduced online journals to me. I had a diary once, but I really did'nt write on it everyday, and I hate the thought that I was talking to a diary like it was a person. actually, I did'nt like online journals before. most online journals I see are kinda, well, pointless, comparing to siopao, parang ampao na walang laman sa loob. mindless entries, things like that. I once thought it was useless to have one. besides, no one really gives a shit about what you type. well, as I pondered that thought, I watched tv. as you know, it's election fever time, so there's lots of news reports about candidates and election results. I love politics, not that I want to be a politician myself, but I like seeng these people waste kilos of printed money on campaign ads and look stupid on tv, yet they still lose. and the winners, yeah sure they win the position, but it's not worth the cause. you don't earn too much with your salary, you make lots of enemies, your schedules become fully booked, and you eventually put your life on the line because your political rivals want to kill you. makakakurakot nga sila, pero lugi pa rin dahil sa pangungurakot nila, bababa halaga ng pera natin, tataas presyo, ganun din, mauubos pera nila kc mahal na ang mga bilihin. I was already laughing, when I thought about journals again. I really want to rant or laugh about some situations or experiences I go through, like those stupid politicians, and put them into writing. and the only way my thoughts could make their way into words is to type in an online journal. I want to look back on them without forgetting them. and another reason is, I want to be honest with my feelings about the world. the world's full of crap, that's why it's ending, yet there's still some things in it that makes you laugh or smile, or make you feel good inside. so, I decided to write an online journal, to put in my thoughts, whether it's a rant or something to laugh at, so at least I can remenisce whatever I was thinking the day before, because the best thing to do with your memories and thoughts is to remember and cherish them, and to keep them safe for looking back on when the time comes. so, this is my first post. I'll be looking back on this one.
