My Little Munster said...

While we were doing videoke one Saturday night, Lemon chose Through The Fire for me to sing. Of course I had to react badly, (HELLO, Through the Fire kaya yon!) protesting that it's still too early for me to humiliate myself.

Just then, Lemon took the mic from me and said, "ako na kakanta! Kaya ko yan kantahin kahit di ako lasing!" (I'll sing it! I don't need to get drunk to be able to sing it!) Nyaaaar!

And then the other night, it was the neighbor's turn to do videoke. The horrible singing and doubly horrible volume at which the horrible neighbors were singing the horrible songs made our bodies twitch in pain. Lemon, obviously running out of patience (she was watching Sailor Moon Live Action Series), declared, "ANO BA YAAAN! Ipabarangay na nga natin sila!!!" (it;s like saying, "let's have them arrested")

 

Something tells me I should start saving up for pyansa (bail) money.

Your thoughts on freelancing here, please.

Hello there!  I know it's been a while since I last sat in front of the computer to come up with a blog entry that's more than a couple sentences long.  I've been very busy evading real life, failing miserably.  My alternate dimension somehow connects with real life and I hate it. LOL.

What about the title? Oh yeah. Hehe...  I am seriously considering quitting employment.  I'm tired of chasing after other people's plans and dreams.  I'm tired of measuring my success through other people's standards.  And I'm tired of doing things I do not enjoy doing. 

I love to draw, I love to read, I love to inform, I love to teach, I love to write, I love to cook, I love to socialize, I love to organize events, I love to go places, I love to shock people, I love being a geek, I love to just be me.

In the back of my mind I know I'm scared that I'd go hungry if this "I'm my own boss" dream of mine turns out to be a nightmare.  But in the darkest corners of my heart I also feel that maybe this fear is what's stopping me from achieving my dreams for a long time now.  Maybe I can pull this off if I'd only let go.  Maybe...

Your thoughts are most welcome.  Please help confuse me some more.  Hehe..
