Hello, Confucius

I was surfing through Deviant Art a while ago and decided to log into my user account. When I opened my DevArt page, I saw this:

Though my knowledge in graphic design is very limited, I am learning. Photography is my passion. When I point my viewfinder at an object, I feel a surge of emotion. Photographs express a gamut of emotions. Photography feeds my soul.

I wrote than on January 30, 2004. I know I have changed during the last few years but I never really knew how much until I read that quote. I guess people do outgrow stuff.

And to my cameras, wherever you are, you know you have served me well.

There’s nothing better than belting an 80’s power ballad while taking a shower. Granted that I cannot sing to save my life, the shower is the perhaps the only place where I can unleash my forgettable belting prowess. I wonder what the neighbors think about my vocal talent. Or lack of it.

Anyway.

Ever since I started blogging back in 2002, I’ve always struggled with that little thing called the About Me page. Earlier this year I decided to put an About Me page in my blog but I was not able to come up with something interesting enough to put on it. I ended up stealing the meme from my bestfriend’s About Me page. The questions are pretty much the same as with all the other memes in Friendster or in MySpace. You know, the ones that ask you about your favorites. Pretty boring if you ask me. So here I am again thinking about what it is I really want to put in my About Me page.

In other news.

My mother asked me if I have a special someone. Ack. It wasn’t exactly the kind of conversation I’d like to have with a parent while hearing mass but at least it made me laugh. I’m pretty much content with being single these days. No more baggage, no more issues, no more worries. I’m glad that I can talk to my mom about things like these. I love how open we are to each other and hopefully it stays that way for a long time. So yeah, I’m single and I’m loving it. Though he’s pretty much part of my life, no?

In other, other news.

The previews for the return engagement of Les Miserables opened at the Broadhurst Theater in Broadway two nights ago. So far the reviews from the theater goers are mixed to positive. The only real low point, it seems, is the casting of Daphne Ruben-Vega. I’m not surprised. WTF was pretty much all I can say I heard she was playing Fantine.

Before I sit down in front of my PC and blog, I already have things in mind that I’d like to write about. But I don’t know what happens inside my brain during the five minutes that it takes for me to boot up my PC, connect to the internet and open my blog’s admin page. It seems that during that five minute stretch, I have forgotten about everything I wanted to blog about.

So what do I do? I stare at the monitor, take a deep breath and start typing away. I don’t care if all that comes out are a bunch of unintelligible words. It’s all gibberish, really. I read my blog’s archives and I can’t help but cringe. Cheesy, tacky, vomit-inducing… And so with my domain expiring a few months from now, I’d like to say goodbye to my three year old blog. It will be difficult but I know that I really have to do it.

Welcome to my new blog. I promise I won’t bore you with football and tennis and F1 and hot men. Or maybe I still will.

It’s the calm before the storm. A bit of time to rest and relax before the midterms come. I’m thinking of going to Bacolod for the Masskara but I figured that it will be too expensive considering that I’ll also be going home at the end of the month.

Nothing much after the cut except for a couple of surveys I snagged from Friendster.
