I got this message from one of my closest girlfriend, Kelly who is now based in the US, saying that she thinks that I don't write the way I write before and that she misses the spontaneity and rawness of my old blog. Told her, maybe for lack of inspiration. I used to say that writing should always be from the heart and I still do so yes, maybe I've changed, pain does that to people. Ive somehow lost the simple innocent way Ive dealt with things. Also, quite possibly I am influenced by all of this stuff I'm reading over the internet. I think I've adapt some styles from modern writers and it has something to do with my reading on line articles from other bloggers.
I remember in college writing was one of my favorite subjects where we always have essays in our exams and term papers and all. I was able to get good grades from all those writing and humanities courses especially the ones I took as free elective in my summer classes.
I have a friend who took months long vacation in the US and she told me that she used to read all my blogs when shes got nothing to do and during that time the only blog I was maintaining was in friendster all those years, those were the times we were making testimonials to our friends. I don't have copies or links to those write ups and I wish I saved them. I don't anymore remember everything and what those writings are about, but I remember a few such as when I wrote about my excitement about the first Eraserheads concert, i was not able to go to that, but the next one - the final set, I was able to go and Ive written about that. I know, I've written about how Ive finally let go of the almost relationship with the guy I was seeing that time, that blog sort of destroyed his relationship with this other girl he was having an LDR with, well talk about #complicated. Ive written about my cancelled wedding, it was bittersweet. Whatever are those writing inspired about, Im just grateful I am able to share a part of my self to my friends.These days I write mostly for myself, small thoughts like my aspirations, experiences and what not. From time to time, i would write about my fashion project, about my friends or my travels. I still dream of one day having a blog about being a Mom or having a social entrepreneur site that inspires and be relevant as ever.
For now these are the links to my other blogs:
