Senti Queen

This is my 25th blog entry in a matter of ten days.  You could just imagine how much I missed doing this!  The last piece I wrote for personal consumption was in 1998.  For the next ten years after that, my writings are purely for corporate and academic pursuits.   

I never had the passion to write hard sell.  I mean, I’m having a hard time composing articles that delve with über serious topics.  I don’t really have the talent and the heart to do so. To illustrate, I prefer to watch “Music and Lyrics” over “The Silence of the Lambs”, read Cosmopolitan over Time, and listen to Parokya ni Edgar over Andrea Bocelli. In short, sa dami na ng problema sa mundo, ayoko nang mag-isip.  I just want to entertain and be entertained.

That is why I admire those who could write academic essays and intellectual pieces with so much ease.  I love talking to people who can challenge ideas and change mindsets.  I am quite impressed with the so-called “deep thinkers” of the Universe. Perhaps this is the reason why I get attracted to Martians of this type. Opposites attract??  ‘Asa pa ako.

Looks are indeed deceiving. Most people I’ve met dismissed me as someone serious, suplada, at hindi puwedeng biruin.  Only a few people have seen my funny side– the non-stop kadaldalan, LOLs, and ka-showbizan (meaning, I have a knack for knowing the latest showbiz gossip).  I don’t know, perhaps I just got tired of being “serious” most of my life.  It was hard meeting people’s great expectations all the time and it was even harder to sustain them.  So, I decided to slow down NOW and just enjoy life’s simplest pleasures.

Sa mga naaaliw sa blog ko– Christy, Rojz, Kath, Beverly, Apple, Jeff, Mang, Kristine, Eumel, William, Anto, etc.– thank you for giving me this opportunity to touch your lives in my own little way.  You have touched my life in return with your words of encouragement.

As Robin S. Sharma wrote, “When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all of your thoughts break their bonds: your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world.  Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person than you ever dreamed of.”

Ano raw?! :p
