I know I write well, but somehow and for some reason I don't know, I just suddenly lost the passion for writing. Maybe the loss of enthusiasm happened when I started taking up a technical course (Engineering to be specific) which really didn't need much of my creative writing. All we did back then was to write in straight technical terms, avoiding the adjectives, the euphemisms, and practically all the flowery, nice writing-stuff I learned in grade school.
I want to revive my creative side... to start being creative, even if that means going back to square one, like digging up my favorite thesaurus and dictionary from the storage room - so that once in a while I get to open it and learn some new words. Yes - this was me before. It is indeed a shame that years ago, I have found entertainment reading other people's blogs but never thought of making one I can call my own. Now here it is. I don't know how good I will be at this one, but nevertheless I know I will feel happy that I am trying to.
It is funny why I thought of blogging. =) Here's the story. A few hours ago, I accidentally met a former schoolmate in the name of Mon. We were never really close back in college - we were simply "classmates," but I don't know why I felt so happy seeing him. (Don't misinterpret me - I don't have any desire for this guy, I actually think he is gay. => ) He is not what made me happy... it is the meeting people from way back. We had this conversation that I will, later on, expound on:
M: "Nagkikita pa ba kayo ng former batchmates natin?"
R: "Naku hindi na nga eh. Ikaw?"
M: "Hindi rin! Nasa magkakaibang field na kasi tayo!"
R: "Oo nga eh... kakaiba na ang mga tao. What a small world ha, at dito pa tayo nagkita!"
M: "Oo! Masaya ako na nagkita tayo. Text text naman... may number ka?"
After we exchanged cards, we parted ways.
The short chat replayed in my mind while I was in the elevator. I realized how good it felt to bump into former acquaintances, and moreso - to look back into what my life was before. My life before? - I was a writer... =)
