The Secret Dreamworld of a Frustrated Blogger

I was flipping the pages of my diary trying to examine the thoughts that I had these past few days. And these 2 journal entries caught my attention. In here, I was having this desire of becoming a blogger. The dates are January 17 and 18, 2011. I find it so amusing because I started blogging on February 17, 2011, exactly a month after I wrote the said journal entries.

Dear Friend,

I want to be a blogger. Yeah, you read that right. This passion of mine for blogging was ignited by Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho's "Food Blogger" episode. Don't take me wrong, I don't want to be a "food" blogger. I want to be a kind of blogger that writes random stuff. I want to write about people, places, books, bags, clothes, aspirations, frustrations, poverty and other realities of our society, family, beliefs, God, and the list goes on and on. I want to write about interesting things that will pop in my head. To sum it up, I'll just go with the flow. You can never go wrong with variety.

Dear Friend,

I'm now tune in to Day Break Sounds. Honest to goodness, I didn't really plan to wake up as early as 3 o' clock in the morning just to listen to DJ Pat. I'm having a runny nose that's why I had sleep disturbance. Anyway, while I was half asleep and half awake, I remember dreaming about the virtual reality which is the social network. I remember myself continuously updating my status and keep on commenting and liking my friends' status. According to the article that I read in Candy Mag, one should jot down the dreams that s/he will have because it could be a contributor to the realization or achievement of one's dream/goal in life, which I believe, because dreams are products of our subconscious mind, which by the way, doesn't lie.

So aside from being exposed to Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Google, and Blogger (or Blogspot, whichever you prefer), not to mention that I'd been encoding my plantilla for 2 and a half hours before the day ends, and also thinking about the blogs of other people and planning about making my own, I think, I dreamt about the social network because I bloody have this desire to get activated and stay connected via Internet. I have this likeness to express my thoughts, ideas, feelings in a modern and creative way for the world to know. I'm actually thinking about the photos that I'm going to upload in the near future for my Facebook, Twitter, and "blog" accounts. For my future blog, I'm also thinking about what site to use, what title should I come up with, and of course what to post.
