After a couple of days of posting the epilogue in my Friendster blog, I have finally decided to write again! And it feels so good to have finally made this decision. Afterall, I was born to write, as I would like to believe, and, no matter how used and abused this line is, I just have to type this over again: I live to write; I write to live.

A lot of things have happened during those blank spaces between ending my blog and giving myself a breather for writing. For one, I’ve enrolled in a gym with my superfriend, desperately hoping that we’d achieve that lean body by semestral break. Wohoo! Second, I’m quite busy with my Solar Generation involvements. Solar Generation is such a worthy organization I need one full entry to write about us, the solar soldiers. But basically, Solar Generation is a youth environmental group pushing for the use of renewable energy while convincing people to practice energy efficiency on the non-renewable ones. Third, and probably the most important, is the fact that I have finally cried (wailed, actually), evidence that I am not numb nor insensitive, thank God! 

So, I am right now in the 1st Internet Cafe, owned by my Japanese friend, Kanna, and her Korean boyfriend. The cafe is conveniently located in the Portal West Building so it’s basically convenient for me, a Sillimanian. Right now, they have free one hour of surfing and a glass of iced tea so I’m just trying to get the best of the perks. And what better way to spend free one hour of Internet surfing than to create my new blog!

In the meantime, I am using my old column title in tWs, Silver Lining. Right now, I am at my darkest point but I know that soon enough, a faint silver line would appear in the sky, signaling the dawn of a new day.

And while I still stumble in the dark, I am keeping my fingers crossed that sooner or later, dawn would come in. And while waiting for the silver lining, I shall continue to devote myself in writing, and eternalize every thought and feeling in ink.
