Let me preface myself

A long time in the making, I feel this is a way for people, if they care to, to take a peek inside my state of being without the hassle of staying on the phone with me for eons or reading excruciatingly long, meticulously crafted and stylized e-mails. So I see this as an act of convenience, and mercy, too. All you need to know is I’m a word nerd, and hope to write someday, preferably to tell stories through film. In the meantime, I’ll do this in the hope that it will keep me writing something, anything, on a regular basis.

Mainly, I’m merely exercising a selfish, though innate, compulsion. Besides, I expect the only people reading this will be the very small number of people I know, so I won’t go through the bother of explaining myself, as I expect my friends to make allowances for my personality. I’m not selfish, I love to chat and write, it’s my nature. I’m more into sharing and exchanging ideas than hearing myself talk, anyhow. As tends to happen as one ages (I did turn 30 in August, though I have the benefit of people telling me I look early-20s, tops— thanks for those Filipino anti-aging genes, ma!), I’ve learned to stop apologizing for this verbose aspect of my personality– it’s inextricably who I am. (I don’t think “inextricably” can be used in that manner, I just wanted to use that word.)

As I go along, I’ll probably widen my scope. After all, who wants to read someone else’s inner thoughts all the time? Yawn. I don’t intend it to be a music or film blog, but if you know me, those are two of my greatest passions in life. However, I’m no scholar, and this is, as is any personal preference, merely a reflection of my own sensibilities; mostly, I’m just interested in beauty, wherever I find it. I’m sure most of you aren’t as geeky about these things as I am (in truth, I’ve yet to know anyone who’s even close), but I share nonetheless. Hey, maybe you’ll stumble upon something, just as I have, and it will stick with you.

Note: As befits my personality, I reserve the right to have my writing be as unstructured, lacking in theme or coherence, random, or full of nonsequiturs, as I am in everyday life– to “keep it real”, as it were.
