My First Blog Post...

FACT or FICTION

How do you separate the two or fuse them?

The devirginizing of my mind has started 13 years ago (i was then in 3rd year highschool) and the tools I utilized to pour out what came in as bursts of inspiration, desperation, confusion, revulsion and whatever “ion” there was, were more than sufficient and accessible.

Readers have asked me which is the truth and which is fabrication after reading my write ups. They have asked me if my characters were based on people I know or meet everyday, or merely a personification of my inner demons and angels. Yes, I have a halo encircling the two horns that protrude from my head. I answer with statements that lead them to ask more questions....hehehe Somehow, I am flattered. The fact that there are some people interested with what I write gives me the confidence to write more. It means that at some point I am getting somewhere with something I have always considered an underdeveloped talent.

Although having other people read my work started to become eerie because I realized they are reading deep down my own soul; the vain, evil and dispassionate persona who resides inside me can’t get enough satisfaction from just pouring out what needs to be buried instead inside the time capsule called “Past”.

Still, it is amazing--- what a simple line from a poem or a quote that you penned yourself could do to another.

Conceived purely for the reader’s unknown purpose of why they read my work, I offer no apologies if I step on someone’s bloating ego. If you are one of them, do drop a line or two on the thread. It means a lot to the writer when he gets some feedback. Pwede n’yo naman akong supilin or kahit murahin kung sa tingin n’yo kayo yung walang hiyang character sa kwento ko. But be fair. Do it in a way other people would read how you reacted.

But okay. I'm going to be honest. My articles were not created “purely” for my reader’s entertainment. I don’t keep diaries and I think posting my write ups here is a better way of cannibalizing my own life. The world is such a small place! Who would have thought it would get smaller by clicking an electronic mouse? So I might as well make it a little bit tinier by having some people get into my own planet. Make them see how it is in my own universe. And to make things clear, I am NOT, in any way, on a mission to dominate the world. I aim to dominating my OWN world because most of the time, I don’t even know what’s really going on outside my home. I just wanted to be a freethinker, not a critic or barrel of negativity.

To my readers, be brave enough to admit you had been reading my articles. Don’t praise my work if you can’t even say it out loud and say it where everybody could read it. If you have time picking your nose while nobody is looking around, I am so sure you have time leaving comments for my works. Don't read them if you don't want a Power Point Presentation of your pathetic life flash before you. I don't write them to make you feel you are special. I write to make myself feel special. Be wise enough to know the difference.

As I’ve said, my other persona is vain and ruthless. He could kill using just one word and bury you deep within your own.
