Ramble: Getting Together

Apr 30, 2004 21:04

I haven't been writing the things I should be writing. Riven, for one, that Koenma/Botan epic I'm supposed to finish this summer. Then there are the many little fragments of inspiration I still can't make whole. I just don't know how to make the words come like they're supposed to. I'd force it, but when I force it, the style just comes out wrong. ( Read more... )

ramble, snippet

What, I haven't replied to this one yet?! ^^;; So sorry! I think I said that it's good to have a positive POV about the Philippines, hehe. Yeah, we put a lot of effort in the trimmings like holidays. The best is the midnight snack on Christmas eve. Mmmm. Though I think the Philippines is getting a tad too Westernized. We're also about the gifts now, LOL. And yes, FIREWORKS everywhere! Sparklers! Those are soooo fun. ^_^

Dirty? OH. You know, I forgot about that. ^^;; I think I noticed that too before, but after being here for a while... You just don't see it anymore. And even if you do, it's nothing because you see it everywhere, hehe. Education wise, oo, ang bilis nga dito. Saved two years, woo! Galeng!

Fake people? Ahaha. That I'm not sure about. If anything, mas critical ang mga Pinoy sa ibang tao. Tsimis gene, hehe.

Thanks for the comment! And you MUST visit the Philippines sometime. Tanda mo na! Kahit isang beses lang sa buhay mo, hehe.

Wai, Alli-chaaaaaaaaan! Hi! ^_^ *big glomp* (I'm reverting to calling you "Alli-chan" again, instead of "Alli-sama". ^^; If it's okay with you, that is ( ... )

That's true. Write and write to just get it out there, then go back and revise. At least then it'll be partially done. Oh, if only it didn't take me hours to write one page. *slowest writer ever*

Riven, yes, trying to write it now. I wonder if I could survive doing a page a day? Arrrrgh it's difficult, especially with how long it's supposed to be. 0_0

Thanks for the encouragement! I seem to be bouncing back to my old loves right now - writing and webmastering. ^-^

Nyahaha... Allisama sorry I'm late.

Hmmm... -__-; I'm trying to sort my thoughts. Gah.

I've been depressed about moving for a great while. I think I've more or less accepted the migration now. If you ask me if I regret migrating, I'd say yes and no. Yes, because I've been uprooted from my home & country, I'm missing being part of my friends' lives, being part of that society. No, because I've learned so much.

Being here in the States gives me an opportunity to look at the Philippines in another angle. The advantage is that you'd *know* the Philippines from both within and without. And no, I saw so much of the country's flaws, and it only made me fiercly love it more. But it's painful that way because I realized that the Philippines is not gonna----has not changed---much in a century. Blame it on my age, I still want to go back and be a part of that society despite the hopelessness because that is where I belong. But if I go back, it's the same thing over again, because I've been setting roots here, too ( ... )
