i'm officially starting my blog. (March 10, 2009 at 11:00pm)

I spent half an hour thinking what to write on my first blog entry, thinking this is the first one then it might as well be special or extraordinary.. But! I realized I just wasted half an hour when on second thought, I could just write whatever it is on my mind right this very moment (oh did i just waste another second for thinking twice? hehe)

i had these diaries (yes plural) back in gradeschool, i cannot exactly remember how i learned about this 'diary' thingy but what i remember is that i just find it cool to own one. It was a new thing for me back then having this shiny red notebook that i only see every night when it is time to write on it. I thought it was so exciting, just the idea of keeping a journal of my personal secrets, which i regret now because I ended up letting my sisters and even my mom know when they secretly read my diaries. uuurgh..

The good thing is, my secrets back then were not so juicy as they are right now. haha!

So,why am I starting a blog?

I can't resist the urge to do so that's why.

Seriously, I wanted to do this for a lot of reasons.

reason no.1:
I LOVE TO REMINISCE.
Right this very moment, I am sitting on a couch at our living room with my laptop literally on my lap. (hehe. that sounds funny and redundant.), my tita is sleeping in front of me, everybody else,i think, is asleep already,my boyfriend isn't texting me, i assume he's dreaming about me right now. nyehehe. The point is, who knows where i will be on March 10, 2010 right? A lot of things can happen in 365 days. Who knows, maybe I'll be in Australia then with Josh on my side as I write my blog for that day. aaaw! I'd love to remind myself of what i was then so I could appreciate what i am now. This blog will do that for me.

reason no. 2:
FOR YOU TO KNOW MORE ABOUT ME
When I see an old friend, I don't come to them to ask them how they've been just like what everybody else would do. And I am not being rude, it's just that I am shy, I think. I feel uncomfortable when talking to someone I haven't been talking to for a quite a while already. I am just way better at writing than talking (the reason why I think I suck at hosting). Updating my friends and letting them know more about me, this blog would help me with that, I hope. hehe.

reason no. 3:
FOR ME TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MYSELF
I realized that I get to know more about myself when I write because I surprisingly learn stuff about myself when I write on a journal, why? because this is the time when I think about myself, how i feel about certain things, what's my stand on a particular issue etc.. If there's one person I'd love to know more and more each day, that'll definitely be ME!

reason no. 4:
I NEED A SPACE FOR MYSELF
I just need a space to write anything on my mind. Some place I can freely say whatever I want. period.

reason no. 5:
SO THAT WHEN I DIE, YOU WON'T MISS ME TOO MUCH
Sounds morbid? hehe. After reading Francis Magalona's blogs who passed away days ago, I thought this could be of help to my loved ones when I pass away. Right now, I am 22 years old. Only God knows when my time to leave this world would be and I am not going to wait for my doctor to say I only have 8 more months to live just to start documenting my beautiful experiences here on Earth. I am starting NOW and I hope when it is already my time to leave this world, my loved ones would be happy knowing I lived my life fully and happily.=)

And maybe there are more good reasons than that but all of these are reason enough to start right now. more blogs to go.

goodnight!
