Not Yet Ripe
I found myself stuck in a dilemma- to write or to stay in SEO. It's supposed to be a no-brainer, after all, I had been ranting about writing since time immemorial, but when I thought about it, I really can't write yet. Yes, "yet," although I'm done with my 4-year journalism degree, even it's already 2 years post that, I just can't see myself ripe ( Read more... ) -
Writing is Hard
I've been doing a bit of writing for work now, and i'll be honest- it's excruciatingly hard, especially when you're writing stuff over and over again. It's easy to just draft a piece, re-edit it, and submit right away; but if you do it everyday talking about the same things, it really depletes your creative juices fast. -

Choke (slang, verb)- the inability to perform or deliver at crucial moments; to not reach expectations when it matters. Choke. My whole identity is defined by that one word, and my life is on many levels, a direct consequence of it. Choker, fluke, failure - this is what I am year after graduating a school gratified as one of the best, a pillar of ( Read more... ) -

How do we write? For some, it's just stitching a bunch of related words, put them on a bundle, then go crazy; for some, it's a precise science that requires all your attention and effort to fulfill. Both are true, and both have applied to me. As they say, there's always two ways to look at things--- it's a matter of perspective ( Read more... ) -
Right now
Now, the whole world's looking at me, awaiting my next move. What shall I do? What action best fits the circumstances? Where should I go, what should I plan next ( Read more... ) -

Writing, it seems, has forsaken me. The words themselves are fleeing my head along with sentences and paragraphs. I'd like to pursue writing, but everytime I try to write something down, my very ideas shatter into demise. I've found no success in this area, more so have I found a decent future in it. Maybe I'm highly inapprorpiate for this kind of ( Read more... ) -
Journalism
Damn you, Journ. Why is it so hard to follow your lead? You taught me all these words that I could use, all these jargons I could feast on, but for what? "Write briefly, remember KISS- Keep It Short and Simple" Kiss my ass. I'm fond of being wordy, all the blossoming words and complex sentences is what I live for, but you and your stinking craft ( Read more... ) -
On the Appropriate Changes
Many times in our lives, we go through changes- busloads of them- and majority of these instances, we cower in fear. This fear constricts us from ever moving forward, staggers us, sunders us down to our knees, then makes us subservient to its pressures, urging us to stay on that tiny hole- hellish or not- that we call our comfort zone. We get ( Read more... ) -
On Snobbish Technical Writing
How does a writer convey his intellect, the way that would display his educational prowess in just a glance and sets himself apart from the average? Simple, actually. As a billionaire gestures himself accordingly- being snobbish, partly discriminative, and plainly arrogant- a writer should also guise himself into a cloak of a his ideas and ( Read more... ) -
GAH
Being a fan (and very akin to screeching-fan-girls for sitcoms at that), I've developed a peculiar sense of humor. This sort of humor, which I had already practiced perpetually in my mind as well as in the company of my different (I actually have none. They're plainly imaginary) easily-entertained entourage (who again- each one of them- doesn't ( Read more... )
