This is WRITING?

For the past several years, I have been criticized by many whenever someone reads what I have written or when someone will borrow my notes in the class. The first impression that I will get from them: “Can you still understand this?”


True. My handwriting has been too mediocre and for the past five years, the style of own handwriting (too hard to picturesque without using a glint of imagination) hasn't changed nor did my writing vox. But does it really matter at all whether your handwriting is too obscure to read as if it was intended to ruin the ability of the person to read? Maybe. But the reality is there: it is one of my minor flaws as a human being.


I don't write in my journal as if I am writing a theme paper ready for submission or for checking. The theme paper is intended for formality or precision while in my journal I can write even in Swahili or in feeblish grammar and use gobbledygook and informal terms. Slang? Sometimes. Freestyle maybe. But my point here is the liberty to write in which way you want to without others dictating you which one is right or wrong because for God's sake it is your right in this democratic society to express yourself in whatever means! I don't want to strict myself in a very stubborn and uncomplicated style of communicating thoughts to others. It is only by means of free writing then can somebody understand what you think and feel unlike those status updates in Facebook and tweets, which were limits you in expressing your thoughts fully. Only a parcel of it can be posted. You don't expect to post a status update as long as this one or even longer? Or maybe for others it is otherwise. But hey, come to think of it.


And the reason why I am posting in this blogsite is to be able for anyone to view some of my entries in my journal and read them. Too bored to search and explore the inner depths of the Web that you even stumbled in this page.

(Yawn. What is happening in the Philippine politics?)
