i still love the scent of rain

I’m amazed that I’ve kept a blog alive for a whole year now. I think the only online thing I’ve kept alive longer than this (and therefore, my friendster account) is my hotmail email address. That, I’ve had since 14. Trust me, in all the years in between, I’ve signed up for a lot of crap on the web.

The strange thing is, prior to elia.blogs.friendster.com, I couldnt even imagine myself keeping a journal that was public. What can I possibly write about that would be worth reading but also not too personal or judgemental?

From the start, I wanted to make sure that the absolutest mostest intimatest of my thoughts and feelings will not be aired here–more to protect my own vulnerability than anything else. I wanted to steer clear of politics, social criticism, religious ideologies and the likes simply because I’m truly not eloquent in such subjects so, I’m not even going to pretend.

Therefore. I dont know how on earth it is that I have since posted more than 200 times on this blog. What have I been writing??!

I went back to my archives to reread some of the stuff I’ve posted. Some made me feel like I just want to cringe and die of embarassment/stupidity. Like, what was I thinking??! Just shoot me, please. But to be fair, there are some posts that I’m glad I’ve written because they’re like stillframes of specific experiences and events. Memories. Both good and bad.

When I come to my senses, I’ll remove my archives from this page. Meanwhile, I’ll be naive.
