I think I might have inherited my mom's acting skills. Whenever my dad would yell at her, yeah, she'll yell back and get all upset, but then managed to go on like nothing ever happened. Even smile at the townsfolk and making small talk. I think I can do that too. I'll be laughing and joking around even after my sister goes crazy on me just because I was holding on something dear to me, and threatened to destroy it. It might not be much, sad even, but it's mine. And I'm happy with it. I was about to explode, but I managed to take a deep breath at the last moment and made a lame excuse to carry on with dinner 'cause I was hungry. In truth, I was a bit intimidated. And i had getting scared when I'm at my own home, where I should have the rights to speak. But we carried on, like nothing happened. It may seemed like I shrugged it off, but deep down, I'm badly injured. No tears could fall though. Because I've run dry. And it will carry on like this forever....and ever. Scratch that, I'm not completely dry...yet

Okay, so I'm currently working on a little project that I have had in mind since...I'm not really sure how long I kept the idea in my head and I'm doing fine so far except when I realize I'm having trouble with my characters' POV A short explanation on how the story goes; two guys talking about the past in front of an audience. Originally I've decided to write in third person but was having trouble as I find my sentences to be bland and boring with a lot of 'he does this, he said that and so on...' (you get the idea) . So, I've rewritten the whole thing in first person view and to be honest, I was happier with the results because I was able to include a lot of my characters' feelings and thoughts. And, it adds to the word count, so my chapters were lengthy-er. The only problem is that it only hit me last night that this was suppose to be a two person thing , and I have been neglecting the other guy. Now, I know I can easily give him a few lines and dialogues to add his POV to the story telling, but (let's just put it this way) it's his show. So, I guess I should give him more air time (lol) . I've read several times how constantly switching POVs in a story kinda seemed unprofessional and sloppy etc. (though I personally don't think so) and I try to avoid doing that. Like I said, I thought I should add a little more dialogue where the 2nd guy gets to share and speak more. But I still feel it isn't enough. I thought about switching back to third person but I'd HATE to rewrite everything again. And I AM POSITIVE it will be BORING. I had written (and posted but soon deleted) a story here in third person but it was really bad. I cringed when I read it. I can tell my editor was frustrated with me. At the end I didn't finish it and bail. But I AM NOT planning on bailing this one. I've done bit of research in the writers' section to see what other people think about such problems and I have to say most of them either said to balance everything (which kinda is my problem to begin with, I can't 'effin balance shit) or to write in third person, focusing on one person at a time. And I absolutely agree with it. honestly, I don't understand some of the advises and suggestions there because I got confuse with the whole 3rd person limited and switch to 1st person and all that Now, I don't wanna sound like a cry-baby , but I honestly am fed up. I'm demotivated and I start questioning myself why am I doing this? For what exactly? If I want to play make believe and write a beautiful story than I should at least make myself, me as the author feel good about it first. And if people don't like it and felt that it's sloppy, amateur-ish, unprofessional, horrible, childish, badly executed, trash than they have every right to not read it. I should stop worrying about what people think about my work, and should start thinking how I feel about it. I mean, I'm no professional author and I don't plan to be . I just want to share a story but GOD I guess you can't please everyone. All in all, I've decided to just give the 2nd guy more speech. Oh wait...maybe I can give the chance to tell his story lol hahaha. I must be going crazy now lol. But yeah, I've decided to do what makes me feel good, isn't a lot of trouble, what I am comfortable with, and Isn't beyond my abilities Ace of Kebabs P.S I'll see if I'll post it here. I gotta get at least a few chapters done first so I wouldn't have to rush IF I decided I'm good to go. P.S.S I don't have a guide in in figuring out the whole plot. My only guide is my head and fingers

Okay, so today's friday and my class starts at 10 so i could get enough sleep and wont have to rush about like every other morning. So i took my time getting ready. I was tagging along a friend in his car for the ride to class and he said we're off at 9:50. Cool. No worries. But then my bestie texted me complaining that the friend that we're tagging along with asked him to finish the appendix of our report (all 3 of us are in the same group) at the very last minute (due date was that day). S'kay. Even tho my friend was complaining a lot he still managed to get it done. By that time it was already 10. We went up to his room and turns out he has not even print the report out and that took us another half an hour. Class has already started and another friend of ours was waiting down at the bus stop (she too was tagging along and is also one of our group member). No biggie. Being late was normal but damn were we in a rush! Plus the heat didnt help much. By the time we reached class (wasted another 10 minutes cuz we went to the wrong building at first) we were sweating like pigs and we're completely lost. Cool. No worries. Our final team mate was already there plus she's a genius and she covered the work for us. Now here's the worst part. When i finally got back to my room, i found out i left my keys inside and so i called and called my roomie until he finally answered saying he's on his way to the city.....i began to panic. Me and my bestie (he stayed by me even tho his mom is already waiting to take him home) actually tried to break the window grill so i can climb into my room and almost made it but then bless my roomate he came back for me. Omg....all that happened in one damn morning and thank god i've great friends and roomie XD thing is what's bothering me is that i know they'll prolly say you would've done the same thing for them, and of course i would!...at least for now....im afraid i'll forget in the long run and when they expect my help, i'll turn them down cuz i'd think it wasnt necessary...but but then again...i'll just try my best to be a good friend and roomie.

Freaking out over what is probably the millionth busted earphone did me some good. After tearing the wires apart and angrily dumping the bits into the trashcan, I went to take a shower and there I lost it. I don't know what set me off but I was feeling pretty shitty all day, so a meltdown was to be expected at some point. I whispered-yelled at myself about how miserable I am throughout the school break, unable to go anywhere and rotting my days off in the house that isn't even mine. Then I don't know how it happened, but my inner counselor kinda came out and told me you know what, if you wanna get through the 3 months of absolute boredom, you gotta have a goal. I thought about what I really wanted in life, but then realized it was impossible so then I came up with another solution; that is to set up small, realistic goals for myself each day. However small and meaningless those goals are, I have to write them down and remember to work on it. I started planning as early as that night, first thing; I gotta take a nap. I know I was cranky all day that's likely cuz i didn't get enough sleep. Okay a nap it is then. Next, find that one folder where I used to plan things and make mind maps to help me make decisions. This goal was not achievable because I think it's sealed in a box somewhere in the storeroom so no point trying to find it in all that mess. I settled with a notebook instead. Check!. Next, update this blog. The biggest goal and prolly something I have to keep up almost everyday is to write a new story. We'll see how that goes. Tomorrow's goal: get a fucking earphone! I guess freaking out does have its good side. In my most irrational and bratty state, I manage to motivate myself. I took a nap, had a great dinner, and now currently working on the story. And you're damn right imma get some earphones tomorrow!
