quick thought
I realized that even after all this time, I still dont know how to read text language. I do get to understand the usual 'K' and all the other shortened words that people use. But to compress a 5 syllable word (or more) or a very long word into 3 letters, that I wont be able get at all. No matter how many times I try to read it. I wasn't wired that way. I don't even text all that much. I remember way back in high school and up until second year college, my friends would all hate me because I wouldn't text them, and that was the height of texting, texting random quotes and jokes and what have you. Well, I;ve since learned to how to text and reply to the more important messages but I still opt to call if its really important or just dont mind it otherwise.
Mind you, I hate talking on the phone, as was stated in my earlier post about wiretapping. But I do like to get my messge across so I'd risk calling than to get my messgae misinterpreted.
In conclusion, don't go texting me in text language especially in Filipino, that one is harder to decipher, because if I dont understand it, then sorry, I wont be replying.

I have a lot of backlog entries that I haven't started writing, but the idea and the title is there... I just cant seem to find the right time and the right words to make it all happen. Some of those entries lined up are worth reading (at least it has a topic, instead of my usual ranting) and I dont want to waste it on an incoherent blog. so bear with me.

re-design
so after like 7 years, that is how long ive had this blog... who knew i finally decided to update its look... and i like it.. its light, airy and 'fresh' as a friend would call it...
hopefully i stick with this layout.
i've also deleted some links that i dont usually update, like the books section, i've moved on to tons of other books while i'm "still reading" those same five books for the past 3 years or so.
im now using the albums page, hopefully i can place all my photos here and untag all my photos in all the other social networking sites that i have. check out the albums i have thus far.

...
since we're all trying to revive our respective blogs, and i have already 'redesigned' the layout of my blog. what im doing right now is putting tags on all my previous posts, so that they can all be recalled immediately. anyway its not a biggie, but i do get to read all the posts ive done over the course of my blog.

its funny how even after all these years, with the way i write, you would absolutely know, just by reading, what im feeling at the exact moment that i wrote that entry. or maybe thats just me - because i did write it once upon a time. i cant believe i had an emo phase. i guess everyone goes through that phase at least once, im just thankful i didnt dress or act like it.
--
reading back entries does bring back the emotions and memories associated with that particular post. or maybe thats just me. i wear my heart on my sleeve - proudly. and it shows in my writing. i have to admit that i did get sad reading most of my entries during those trying times but i guess im okay now.
--
im irritated at the facebook timeline especially now that theyre forcing it on everyone come 12th April. Anyway, good thing my blogsite has an option to on putting albums.. so i think ill post pictures here soon.
on the same note, im also connected twitter, which basically means that i can send out a tweet telling the world - or at least the people who are following me - that i have a new entry up, the exact same time that it goes up. cool eh...
