Journal-ISM [ I Suck Much ]

Pen and Paper

Journal Entry #001

13 March 2012

There are a lot of things swarming inside my head; and to relieve myself from excess emotions, I’ve decided to put it all in writing.

Flashback…

As early as elementary days, I have taken journalism and pursued further during high school days. Wrote a couple of articles in college but thanks to the school paper (yes, EIC was an a**hole) their eyes were into rebellion/renaissance, I never submitted any of those drafts. Well, I’m not that good in writing but I do a lot of criticism back in the day. To sum up all the years of learning, I still suck. I’m not that dumb but I do suffer putting words together like other people do. That doesn’t hinder me from doing it. Up until now, you may see me in a corner scribbling nonsense. A habit that won’t die.

My colleagues often tease me as a nerd, not because I’m wearing glasses but they have seen my collections of books, DVDs, CDs, magazines, a couple of manga (Japanese comic books), and … believe it or not, I have ton of pens. Yeah, different set for Finance Department, work and my daily overused-flipping-pen. Since I do own a lot of it, they started giving me notebooks.

Like most of the books, music and movies I admire, am not into “love story”. Same goes with the things I write -- I appreciate features but not the mushy type.

A month ago, I have written a crappy draft for three feature articles (2 English, 1 Filipino). That’s how intense I am, pouring out my emotions into a sheet of paper. A lot of my notes were unspoken words. Whatever happens, it would still be just a mere word; forever hidden beyond my pile of trash.

And what have you gained from reading this?

Nothing. I am just writing.
