Its now or never

I was moved by the January 9 Blog-O-Rama article Ruth on professional blogging. It was informative and inspiring. However, I felt inferior and a low-gut writer after reading the whole article. Well, I think I really am!.

This irony left me pondering about my blog entries and writing style. It reminded me of my age-long problem in writing which is the lack of emotional appeal. I can not figure why I have less emotionally appealing articles, though the topics I wrote and is writing interest me. Honestly, I do not know the root of my problem, and this bothers me a lot. I should do something NOW or never find it out!

I, then, made a resolve to make a more heart-felt articles and to improve my craft. How? I still do not know. All I can grasp is that I will surely find it hard. This is a big challege that will surely call a lot of effort and time. But I really am willing to make a change and improvement in my writing career, so time and effort is not a big deal at all.

First thing first. I am apt to browse pile of books to review the rules on English grammar. Practice will follow. I will be using lots of scratch papers to draft, edit, revise and rewrite my writings. Whew!!!

Tiresome. Indeed! But I know that it is no other than but me who wil benefit in the end. I need to materialize this one for a future inferior-no-more Renin. I will make it a habit to say to myself:Everything is worth it Renin!

DAn and the Pasaway

"An ordinary day such, as yesterday, turns out ot be an extraordinary one when spent with friends."

It was not planned, but it materialized, and turned out to be almost perfect! July, Liz, Karen, and Love were the ones who initiated the gathering during our PrinEco class. Dan was also invited. Mind you, Dan was host of the bonding moments. I was, at first, hesitant, but later opted to join; Hanzel and Emy also did. Jen did not come with us, while, Yen, whose pregnant, obviously did not to come.
Darwin, Eric, and Jenn were also among us.

July, Liz, Karen, and Love went to the market and prepared our lunch. Pwede na nga mag-asawa, lalo na si July na magaling mag-luto. I volunteered to wash the dishes. A couple of minutes after my wet session in the lavatory, they started the inuman. I did not took part in the tomaan because I have planned to buy my and Emy's gift for the Peer Counsellor's party after the said get-together . I do not want to ruin that plan; I ended as a mere spectator. "O sige na nga, Kill-joy na kung kill-joy ang tawag sa mga gaya ko."

As an spectator, I have observed the following:

1. Di nagchaser si Eric
2. Magaling na tanggera si Love
3. Nagyoyosi na pala lately si Liz
4. namumula agad ang mga AB_Pasaway after a shot
5. Grabe! namula ang buong katawan ni Hanzel
6. Ang daldal ng bawat isa, talagang mga pasaway
7. Nauna pang naubos yung snacks kesa sa brandy
8. Naging masaya ang inuman nila

I left the place, at 5:30p.m., ahead of the group, and went straight to Walter Mart-Calamba.

I do not have any regrets for going with Dan and therest of the Pasaway because I had fun and I really enjoyed every minute of my stay with them.

The question that keeps on tickling my nutshell is this: "Kelan kaya mauulit ang simple yet memorable moment like this? Soon?... Hope so!"


Note: Sayang di namin kasama si Sarah...

Double trole

I guess I'm not so lucky today. I got two evident injuries between eight and nine a.m.
Clumsy? yeah right, but claim this to be pure accident. Plain and simple.

The first one is a swelling on my forehead. I immediately poured water on my toes upon entering the bathroom only to notice that I forgot to bring my shampoo and conditioner. So I went out of the bathroom, got what I need and tip-toed back. Unfortunately, I slipped to my back. Presto! a swelling and short-cut forehead. I actuallly called my mom and asked her to give me a coin. I pressed the coin onto my forehead to prevent swelling. I also applied hot compress. Pero wa epek. halata parin ang bukol.

After applying the hot compress, I resume to my business. I continued doing my letter box. But it was cut short; my left thumb was slightly burned by the hot glue stick, leaving a small, white blister. It really hurts! Malas ko naman ngayon!

Anyway, the two incidents reminded me to be more careful in whatever I do.. Ano pa nga ba and dapat kong gawin, di ba? Nakakahiya...

Gaspy in Love

It is seldom for a student to have a good talk with his or her professor. So, every opportunity given is worth cherishing.

On December 19, Mrs. Gaspy and I talked about almost everything under the sun. She actually did most of the talking, pausing only to hear my queries.

Here are the thoughts he shared, or should i say, the thoughts that lingers in my mind.

"A relationship works well if the man loves more than the woman does."

"Love is not blind, and lovers do not mind."

"Men are born to love. Women are born to please."

I hope that I'll have another good talk with Ma'am Gaspy...soon!
