Rethinking Blogger

Remember me, my neglected blog? yup, i'm still alive. Actually, I'm cooking up a couple of pet projects for the next couple of months, and one of them is an overhaul of this blog. After almost three (3) months of its existence, parang dapat karirin na ito!

Some of the things I've done in preparation for this big revamp:

• signed up for a flicker account
• signed up for a fotki account
• signed up for a wordpress blog for listing and comparison purposes
• writing my "about me" section

Update: bah, after a week-and-a-half long trial/investigation, I decided that i don't like being stuck with wordpress' canned templates. So, congratulations blogger, you may not support tags but it looks like i'm here to stay for the foreseeable future.

Staind - So Far Away

SO FAR AWAY

Staind

this is my life
its not what it was before
all these feelings i've shared
and these are my dreams
that i'd never lived before
somebody shake me 'cause i
i must be sleeping

now that we're here,
it's so far away
all the struggle we thought was in vain
all the mistakes,
one life contained
they all finally start to go away
now that we're here,
it's so far away
and i feel like i can face the day
i can forgive
and i'm not ashamed to be the person
that i am today

these are my words
that i've never said before
i think i'm doing okay
and this is the smile
that i've never shown before
somebody shake me 'cause i
i must be sleeping

i'm so afraid of waking
please don't shake me
afraid of waking
please don't shake me

Dear Abby,

Hmmm... I don't know what's in me, but since last week, I've been missing my high school friends and classmates so much. It's been five loooong years since I last saw them. The last time our class had been together was during our high school graduation -and that was back in 2001! I really hope we can all get together somehow even before the much awaited high school reunion. But I know that's asking for too much.

Some of my batchmates no longer resides in the Philippines. And who knows? maybe some of them are now living in their respective provinces, enjoying life in the rurals or something... hehe.

I don't even know where our class adviser (Miss Hazel Basadre) is. She, like some of our high school teachers, had already left the alma mater to pursue their other dreams. Someone told me she's already in Dubai, like Miss Pangan - who, by the way, has given birth to her first child. I don't even have any idea if Miss Basadre is already married too -like some of our teachers, who decided to embrace the family life after our batch graduated. That just proves how so much can happen in a span of five years. And you wouldn't want me to get started with some of my batchmates! :D Of course, some information are strictly confidential, so i wouldn't proclaim those to the whole world! All I know is that, some are still finishing school, some already has their own family, and some, like me, are struggling career women.

As for our alma mater, so much has changed in Malate since the last time i went there to get my yearbook (that was back in 2002). It was noticeably a lot quieter and they became stricter with the school rules. Maybe some time I can tell you what life was like during our time. It will surely be one hell of a novel! What with all the adventures that we've had, all those life-changing experiences... the humiliation, joy, sorrow, laughs and fulfillment? OMG! I can't wait to re-live life in high school...

XOXO.
