I am missing my husband so much now. And a lot of thoughts bug off my mind whenever I miss him. Sometimes wonder what I can do to make the most out of my time as of the moment. Not that I have no clear plans yet, it's just that I am flooded with so much thoughts to fill up my free time. As a matter of fact, my husband and I have so much plans in the near future and I'm so excited about it. But Maybe I'm a little bored right now. So I want to fill up my time by reading books and writing again. :)
I've been reading a lot lately. Different books and of different language. Of course, the vernacular Tagalog (those of Bob Ong's Stainless Longganisa and Ang Paboritong Libro ni Hudas) and English (Sarah Powell's Mushroom Man and Karen Stolz's World of Pies and various fashion magazines). I've read a lot of materials and felt like I have explored the world with the books, articles, magazines, pamphlets and notes I read. Reading empowers your mind and keeps your mind wandering on various aspects of life. I earnestly enjoy reading. I just love it. And it pays, because you really learn something out of reading. It is not just for the sake of making your self look good, feel pretty or know the latest trend. Nor is just because books can give you knowledge. Of course, reading will contribute to additional knowledge. Apart from that, reading gives you more than that. For me, it gives me a moral uplift, inspiration in life. Also, it opens your horizon to various thoughts other people have. And you might just consider them to be among your beliefs. To be cherished, to live with, to die for.
Because of reading, you also get to revive some lost interests you once have in your life. I have been struck with what Bob Ong shared to those who have dreams, especially in line with writing. I used to be a writer on our school paper back in high school. Actually, not just writer but also an editor. I have this certain passion in writing and engaging in Journalism crossed my mind. However, for practical reasons, I did not dare to take it. In college, I dared to continue my love in writing. I actually auditioned for a spot at our school's collegiate school paper. I got in until the final selection part but did not make it. I don't know why, but it was fine. I think I wouldn't make it to the Communications Lab had I been accepted. Nonetheless, it was alright. I know everything has a reason. But still, the love for writing is with in my soul. Hence, my desire to write (whatever I can-fiction, opinion or feature) was ressurected. It is definitely not for monetary reason. But it's just that I know I can express my self with what I think. Only few could hear my stories if I just utter them in words. But through writing, it can leap bigger part of the world. Who knows, somebody might just cross this site and like what I write. But of course, that is just a matter of self gratification. :) And now, I want to write.
Soon enough, I will have topics to expound. Both fiction and non-fictional. For now, I just want to express how deeply inspired I am to write again.
