The Road Not Taken…by Media.

I’m back. ü I was surprised I haven’t written anything for almost 2 weeks. It seems like nothing is sensible enough to post here on my blog. By the way, I’m very thankful  that my blog finally had its big break on February. I actually didn’t expect anyone to read anything I’ve posted here so I’m very grateful to see my efforts are not wasted. And I’ve decided from now on, I’m putting an end to my pointless writings and posts. Blogs are the new-age and modern media. You can get quick and easy access on informations about anything on blogs. The majority of people who owns and operates blogs are going up and keeps on increasing everyday. Now, everyone can share anything about everything to the whole world. I’ve been asking this question for sometime now. If I have this chance of imparting my ideas and opinions to the world through what I write, what would I write about? Well, you have to read the next paragraph to figure that out.

In our generation, everywhere you look, negative things surround us. Recession, economic crisis, increasing suicides day by day, people in depression scaling high in our times, hunger, war, corruption, and all those other relevant things. Everyday, we hear this on the news, read it on the papers and on blogs, we have easy access to bad reports. With what we hear and see, it could define our perspective in life. Everyone feels hopeless these days, discouragement and fear could easily enter our heart and mind. If we can hear and read about bad things, why can’t we hear and read about good things? This time I want to use this opportunity to encourage people through what I write. To bring good news that there is hope beyond hopelessness, peace beyond troubles, security beyond uncertainty, joy beyond suffering, and share the under-rated and set aside, but powerful and real truths of  God’s Word, and the change it can bring onto our lives.
For the time-being, I have to end my post here. I pray that somehow people would be able to read my upcoming posts.

God bless! ü

Here’s a video of my favorite poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I–
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

My New Year Blah Blah Blah…

There has to be a celebration. Why? This is my second post for the year 2009 and I’ve just finished the first one yesterday. Well, I suppose I could consider it something new I have accomplished for this year. 2 consecutive posts in 2 days. Last year, it took me months before I could find the time to update my blog. Maybe for this year, I would put this up as one of my goals, writing more. I started writing when I was 13 or 14. After my first writing, realization hit me on the spot. I have a knack for this hobby. Writing is a “spur of the moment” kind of thing. Most of the time, I write best under negative circumstances. I believe it’s not something unusual for those who have the artistic ability. Emotions are tools, or for me, catalysts to producing something creatively wonderful. If a certain emotion is intensified, the more I could get something out of me. For the past years, I haven’t considered myself as a writer for such reasons as 1.) I don’t make it a living. 2.) I never really had much knowledge in this form of art, unlike people taking up English Literature for example. 3.) I’m not good enough. I know I sound like a pessimist, but I’m not really satisfied with the outcome of everything I do. There’s no real satisfaction waiting in exchange for the effort I have given. Why can’t I be easily satisfied? I push through to better myself. But the moment perseverance takes its place, the higher I will raise the bar and the higher the expectations will be. Mainly that’s the reason I get easily disappointed. By now, you must have realized I’m just writing what my mind and heart dictates, so there’s no certain topic for this post. I could certainly label it as “My New Year Blah Blah Blah”. Haha, that’s funny. Let’s move on to a different topic and leave this writing and expectation issues behind.

Holiday vacations are finally over, but I’m still not attending classes. I’ve got the laziness disease for your information. Classes resumed last week, but I’m still here at home, deliberating when I will enroll. It’s my final trimester at school. I do love school, but I dislike the environment and some of the people that are in it, with the exception of my friends. I love them too much to actually hate them. This was supposed to be the most enjoyable trimester because I already have freehand drawing as one of my subjects. It’s fun being a fine arts student. Since, I haven’t been in school for a while, I spend most of my time just surfing the net. I also found my ideal guy. But I wouldn’t reveal him to you. He’s everything I wished for in a man, except that he doesn’t have a relationship with the Lord, which is the most important factor I consider. If ever I would be marrying someone, he has to be someone like him.

Well, I don’t have anything to say anymore. Too much information has been revealed about me. Hope you have a great year this 2009. God bless!
