When I first had my blog I wasn't really aware I had a blog. Some friend of mine just told me to check out her xanga site, I really wanted to comment on her post but it was required that I also have a xanga account (damn propagandas) for me to be able to comment. So I made one just so I could make a comment. I left it empty for a couple of months and there was a time I had an itch to write about something and voila. Uh-uh uh-uh

I never really thought about of what language I'm gonna write on my blog. I just wrote.

July 9, 2004, yan yung date ng una kong blog entry sa xanga. Yan din yung araw na nag-sign up ako for xanga, ayoko lang iwan na walang laman yung site kaya nag-iwan lang ako ng isang entry na may mga links at kung anu ano pa. Gusto ko sanang ilagay dito yung actual entry kaso lang makikita niyo ang aking kajologsan nung mga panahon na yon. *TNM(tumawa ng malakas, LOL ba)* Hindi ko naman intensiyon na itago ang aking nakaraan pero (ahaha) may blog entry na ako tungkol diyan dati dun sa xanga ko. Naka-tatlong taon din ako sa xanga noh.

I kept shifting back and forth to Filipino and English while writing my entries then. Then one day I stumbled upon this great blog by a Filipino living in the US and I (sorta) just wanted him to be able to fully understand what I write, since he subscribed to my blog (I blackmailed him ahahaha ;D), he'd receive my updates so I decided to write in straight English. I figured it was also an exercise for my English skills since half of my life living I communicate in Tagalog--except for that time my mother ordered us to speak in English after 6pm, which didn't really work, because my sister and I had these inside jokes we can't really laugh about in English.

SO

Gusto ko rin kasing maging writer noon. Uh-ha, uh-ha, uh-ha

I've been reading quite recently blogs written in Tagalog (Tresa's and Joanne's) and it was so much fun to read. Lam mo yun? Yung para kang nagbabasa ng Bob Ong books tsaka Kikomachine comics (na gustong gusto ko). That kind of humor.

Naiisipan ko tuloy ngayon na buhayin yung "Mga Tao Nga Naman" na series ko sana, pero so far isa palang yung naisusulat ko na dapat series. Ang labo. Kaso wala akong maisip na subject dati kasi yung retro/statement shirts (see May 31 entry)...ngayon ano na?
