Popping the Thought Bubbles - The doodle notebook | journal version

This probably is my first personal journal entry since the “diary days” (that was like 12 years ago, I think. And I never really wrote anything on those (those 10+ diaries) religiously. I just bought a bunch of diaries (now we call them journals, to get rid of that “Dear Diary” effect), because all my girlfriends when I was 9 have those or “write” on those little cute diaries. It is actually more of doodling little hearts plus name of latest crush, with details of a very brief interaction which is a pa-cute paaway effect, and at the end, trying out the FLAMES matching thing, making E engagement instead of enemy, in hopes of being the perfect match for one’s true love - crush. I think I just described mine.:P

When I was still in school (yes! “was still in school” feel na feel, na graduate na.hehe), teachers/professors ask us to keep a journal, so I did. But it wasn’t really as satisfying or fulfilling as I thought it would be. I thought then that the journal will relieve me from stress or from whatever’s bothering me. I’ll just write it down, so I can keep my mouth shut (if I can). Thing is, they’re gonna check it, and I think they wouldn’t really appreciate me whining about the drinking water, because it ain’t cold. I figured it would be better if you do it on your own, without anyone pushing you to do it or requiring you to do it. But I guess, it’s a way of introducing students to something new and probably in the future, someone might take interest in it. So here I am.

I did start a blog, a few months back. Fail. And then this one. I wrote several entries, a few of them I posted. The rest, I wasn’t really quite sure. I realized while I was reading my entries, that they just seemed kinda blah. So now they’re just in my laptop, waiting to be posted. It’s like I was thinking too much, so it made no sense at all. I wrote about water, fruits, etc. Tell me about it, I didn’t know where they came from. It was supposed to be random thoughts that made sense, but it didn’t. It was supposed to be a blog where I could share my stories, thoughts that came to mind which I just can’t resist to tell.

I type my entries on my laptop so what happens is I keep on editing and editing and editing it over and over and over again. Need I stress on that more? And sometimes, I get so lazy to turn on my laptop.(except when I want to play Sims3.ha!)

So I have come to a new way of sharing my thoughts, I’m gonna write it first on my journal (I miss writing using my hand. Haha). And I’m gonna type it on my laptop, as it is and publish it.

I’m proud to say that this one came straight from my journal, which is just an ordinary notebook from high school that I never used.

I promised you in my first entry that this blog is gonna be different. I’m gonna write whatever’s in my head, in my stomach, wherever. But I promise you it will surely come from the heart, or pass by it. It’s gonna be more me. I hope:) Here’s to this being more ME:)
