Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always been addicted to the thought of writing something other people would actually want to read. My obsession for writing began when I was in fourth grade, and sad to say, until now I am still a frustrated writer. I joined the school paper because I wanted to have an outlet for all these creative energies boiling up inside me, but the higher I rose in the Campus Observer ladder - shucks, as if we’re talking about corporate law or anything remotely similar to that - the more trapped I felt.

It’s hard to explain but that’s seriously what I feel right now. Do you know what it’s like to have a writer’s block? To have that nagging, gnawing feeling that you have to jot something down on ink and paper but you just can’t find the right words to use to get everything out of your system? Well, I’ve been suffering writer’s block for almost two years now… I haven’t been able to write anything decent lately, waah!

But as they say: Nothing can stop a person from fulfilling his (or in my case, her) passion! So here I am, using this blog as an avenue for all my teenage angst and "literary juices" if there are such things… Just please, please forgive me if the stuff I’m yakking about seem to be quite mundane and hopelessly ordinary…

As I’m sure you’ll soon find out if you stick close enough to my blog, I have an unexplainable fascination for all things mundane and hopelessly ordinary. Seriously.

The morning prayer this morning was way too early - Virn and some other pips were complaining about it… Not that I don’t like praying or anything - please don’t get any ideas like that - but I used the time alloted for the morning prayer and the first of the Joyful mysteries to answer my unanswered Computer assignment - to think we didn’t even check the assignment…

And hohoho… It would be silly of me to admit this but I didn’t answer my Computer assignment last night because I was busy posting comments in candymag.com’s Teen Talk. Tee hee! I really must get a grip…

Fast forward to the afternoon… Hmm… After visiting the nearest net cafe to research for that Filipino article Sir Ryan asked us to submit - again I did not research that last night because I was busy with other "productive" endeavors - I helped Phamela with the Movie for the Mission Fund-Raiser of the FI Youth (dang, only half of the people who watched yesterday’s film returned to watch the feature this afternoon) and then I psyched myself up for the Speech oration activity… And I was pacing here and there, muttering this speech to myself:

THE FORGOTTEN

History bears witness to the fact that when a nation turns traitor to God, it also turns traitor to man. Witness Hitler’s Germany. Witness Mussolini’s Italy. Witness Stalin’s Russia. For when you take away God, you shatter the very foundation of equality and human rights. And when you trample over these, you cannot, I repeat, ladies and gentlemen, you cannot have peace…

Strange isn’t it, that we can forget the most fundamental things, the things children never forget. To the weary, waiting world we say, "All else has failed. Why not turn to practical acknowledgement of God in our world councils and in our private lives? Out of the wilderness man has made of God’s world, the voice of God still rings. A poet once put these words on the lips of God, and somehow, I think that God smiles at the very thought of them…

"Ah, fondest, blindest, weakest, it is I whom though seekest… It is I… I"

Of course, the entire IV Wisdom had to recite that because our Speech Instructress chose it for us. We varied only in our creative presentations: Jen chose to talk one-on-one with Ma’am, JV had a sitting scene, Lloyd had a sigh effect, Al pulled together an angry man drama, and Mac delivered his lines while pretending to be a Smeagol-Emily Rose hybrid. Seriously, I liked Alex’s best. He was so cool and calm, and he really managed to get me to listen to him and relate to what he was talking about…

Me? Oh, I think I did pretty fine. I nearly said world as word, but I think I mastered the thing well enough to skive off a failing grade.

And after the afternoon classes, we had practices for the Animated Rosary. We finally, finally found somebody to play the Child Jesus by convincing Martin to act the part. Tee hee! God bless Leo and his ability to motivate people to do things they normally wouldn’t do given normal circumstances!

That’s how my day went… Not so bad huh? To cap it all, I’ve got three new friends in Friendster, yippee!

Anyway, I have to go now. Must post in Teen Talk! *wink,wink*

Poof!
