end of hiatus?!??

by: Kimberly Trix Lee [Editor-in-Chief '08-'09]

it has been quite some time when someone last posted an entry in this blog.
i dont know. i dont really have motivation to post anything in this blog right now. i just posted something in my blog and im sleepy at this moment...

time seems to pass so swiftly...

and it feels as if im being left behind...

stress and all. it's driving me crazy.
anyway, i signed up for it after all. i can gripe and gripe all i want, nothing's going to change.

WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY
mam tirones' seemingly favorite quote...
well, this is true. the greater the authority that you have, the greater the pressure that you feel...
the higher your place in the stratum, the greater your stability must be...
uh-huh.

PLAY YOUR ROLE. OR LOSE YOUR POSITION.
this is the wallpaper of the english journ computer.
what? im not saying anything after all... lol.

adapt.
why do we have to adapt?
why do we have to conform?
the thing is that WE DONT HAVE TO.
we dont have to lower the standards just to please everyone. you cant please everyone. you just cant. just dont try. you'll just frustrate yourself and disappoint others.
and NEVER COMPROMISE FOR EVERYTHING.
not even in the face of utter chaos.
i'd rather choose pandemonium than compromise to something that i dont even want to do.
conformity is a horrid word.
we dont have to conform.
it's like "you are unique. just like everyone else."
all that crap.
STANDARD is called as such because it is what it is.
standard.
the norm.
the norm CANNOT be lowered.
the norm CANNOT be compromised.
the compromise must come from those who want it.

"...and if i dont want to do something, then i bloody hell wont do it..."
my australian friend once told me.
and i definitely love him for his devil-may-care attitude.
he sticks to his belief. not faith or anything. he is an atheist after all. what i mean to say is that he stands firm to what he believes.
if i dont want to compromise, and you want me to do so just for your sake, then get your face out of my sight...
or something like that.
what i think is what i think.
what i feel is what i feel.
no one can say anything.
this is my friend's belief. and i am loving it right now.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS DONT LAST...
definitely not.
not gonna say anything anymore.

writers out there:
a writer's style is undebatable... irrefutable...
it is your style.
no one can say anything against that.
however, I REPEAT HOWEVER...
crappy writing IS DEFINITELY NOT considered as style...
or anything remotely similar to that.
the word CRAPPY doesnt mean bad or horrible...
it just means NO EFFORT AT ALL.
a good story, a good poem, a good article, a good literature...
they all have the same element.
EFFORT.
a writer who poured his entire soul in making such a piece is a good writer.
put your heart in it.
writing IS NOT mandatory.
write when you want to write.
dont force yourself.
and dont force yourself if you dont even want anything to do with writing.
pretense is a vile beast eating at your being.
and it will claw its way out of you, in one way or another.

this will be cut short since i have to finish journ-related things.

hopefully, someone will post something soon.
