my first entry

what to write, what to write. there's so much stuff going on in my head right now that i don't even know how to begin. but i guess the first thing that i should say is how i got started on this thing.

once not too long ago i met someone online. i just thought this guy was cute. he lives in the philippines. and i live here in the bay. at that point, i just wanted to see his pictures so i added him to my friends list. we exchanged a couple of messages here and there. soon we added each other on yahoo messenger. and even sooner enough, lost contact. i didn't make a big deal out of it because he was too far anyway. and we haven't really talked a lot yet. this was about a year and a couple of months ago.

this past week, i was on yahoo messenger. i'm usually not on it because when yahoo changed the way they sign me in, i stopped using it. i saw him online. he has a namesake with another friend of mine so i thought it was just my friend. but i saw a picture right beside his name so i just wanted to see what picture "my friend" put on. and i realized it wasn't my friend but this other guy. i said hello, hoping that he remembers me. he was being nice so he said hello back but politely said that he doesn't remember me. i refreshed his memory by sending some of my pictures. i'm not sure if that helps since it was a long time ago and we didn't really talk much. so we started chatting. all i expected was just a brief chat. but we kept talking and talking. i learned a lot of new things about him and vice versa. he told me about his blog. and i checked it out. i was very impressed with his blog because first of all, there's a lot of articles in it. secondly, he writes well. i read some of his articles and i just became more interested in knowing this person. on one article of his blog, he wrote something like, "i use this blog to write something about my life so that even if ur not with me, you can find out what i do everyday." something to that effect. (i have to look for that article again. there's really a lot in there.)

that was my inspiration. it just dawned on me that this would most likely be one of the best ways for him to know more about me---how i feel about certain things, how happy i get when something good happens, how closer i am to my goals and i guess most importantly, how i feel about our budding friendship.

so as i'm writing this from my bedroom, i'm already thinking what i'll be writing next. i'm a very opinionated person so most likely it will range from just my thoughts for the day to politics to religion and the like. for now, good night.
