I wonder at how many writers experience being presented with a blank page and a blinking cursor without knowing what to type. JK Rowling experienced that. No doubt others have. And now I do. Not because I need to write something to get paid, but because I just have this compelling want to blog. :P
Random Thoughts (Stars), anyone?
I realized that there are a lot of things to be thankful for. Of course not because of Thanksgiving weekend, but because my family's all healthy and safe. (Look, I know it's boring but this is important to me :) We watched Live AIDS Silver last night and it was so hilarious! Buttercup/Scarlett was unforgettable (Isang Pinggang Pancit!). Don't Lie to Me production numbers were just like the real thing. And a mini Oblation Run happened (Would you look at that -- my first oblation run and I was so shocked I couldn't take it all in). I really should go Christmas shopping soon -- before the malls fill up with people and the traffic becomes unbearable. Toooot -- Too late! Maybe shopping for next year? Talking about Christmas, my spirits are lifted every time I think that Christmas is near. It's the most popular holiday and is also my most favorite. :) Christmas songs, choral singing, red cups, wrapping presents, midnight masses, parols and the cold weather -- I love everything about Christmas! Our Ilocos trip is also drawing nearer. Excited much? I am! I hope it's lovelier than my last Ilocos trip. :) Eng'g Week starts in a little over a week! I'm also very excited about it. Cursor Sexy!!! :) I'm obligated to watch Awitan '08. I'm saying that because there should be no excuses! This only comes once a year. The theme this year is Pinoy Dramas, which almost automatically means old Tagalog love songs. This is going to be so dreammmmy. :) Lastly, I'm really looking for a part-time writing job. So if there's anyone who can help me out, just let me know. :)So I guess it's back to work tomorrow -- back to the normal routine. Despite that, I still have a lot of things to look forward to -- even more stars to think and write about. :)
wuhoo!! Engg Week na! excited na ako. :]
ReplyDeleteengg week! engg week! :D
ReplyDelete..sorry, pagbigyan ang batang na-deprive of engg week for 2 years. phhhbbbtttt!
Am anecdote na si James Joyce dati tinanong how many words he wrote that day. Sagot niya "Six". Sabi sa kanya "Why James, that's good enough, especially for you!" tapos sagot ni James Joyce "Yes, but I don't know what order they come in."
ReplyDeleteHehe your intro reminded me of that.
mike, tina: engg week na!!! :)
ReplyDeleteceline: nice! :) can you recommend where i can find a part-time job? :D
I blogged about a bunch of websites where aspiring freelance writers can find work (and the other steps needed to become a freelance writer): http://frugalpinoy.com/earning/how-to-be-online-freelance-writer-philippines/ The sites listed there are the same places where I go to look for work. (And here's another supplementary post to that: http://frugalpinoy.com/earning/passive-income/how-to-make-money-blogging-for-filipinos/ )
ReplyDeleteI know that b5media is looking for writers (because many people left, including me) but they pay peanuts now. Still, if you're interested in a big-name network to work with, you can apply at b5media.com.
I hope that helps :) Good luck!
