I have finally succumbed to the ultimate pressure and put up a blog! Yes, a blog. For real (or so it seems now)! So I can publicly give some color on whatever matter suits my fancy. Hell, I even entitled this blog after one of my favorite books, Paolo Coelho's Veronika Decides to Die. More than having some time in my hands, I decided to do so in efforts to prove to myself that my prose can still go beyond the textbook-ish kinda stuff that forms an integral part of what I actually do for a living. Hahaha. After all, I used to wanna be a features writer/actress/overall-glamorous-person when I grow up. A weird, weird ambition, I know, but when you're young and naive and oh so idealistic, don't they say you believe you can be anything you wanna be? Haha. I can be such a cynic sometimes (sometimes being the operative word). Besides, I'm feeling the need to publish more than my incessant status message updates, wall posts and photo comments in Facebook.
I'm still wondering about what my blog will actually contain. It'll probably consist mostly of reviews - books, TV, movies... maybe sports and pets (as if!). Knowing how much I opt to use humor to diffuse almost everything lately, I don't think I'll be blogging about serious stuff (I'm not shallow, I'm really just a very private person). Save for maybe a few passive-aggressive jabs here and there (now this is starting to look like fun!). But then again, who knows what my Drama Queen tendencies can drive me to do? I just might go all dramatic in my blog. Hmmm... maybe it's time to say, "Please don't read anything I write." Or at least read it and under no circumstances will you mock me after.
Well, I really hope this doesn't turn out to be just another Multiply that I rarely update. :) Maybe for starters I can gun for one post a week until I get sooo addicted to blogging that I actually neglect my product manuals for my posts. Well, for my sake, I hope I do not get THAT carried away.
