first attempt

in this cyber cafe now at 22:44 Sunday prior to my decision to sleep to prepare myself for a full week of work tomorrow, i'm working on this blog. i'm doing this amidst the collective, deadening, gleeful noise of hi-strung youthful looking players who use most of the PCs in this cafe. it's as if they want to show everyone else to the door out of this cafe. well, they will need to wait until i'm done with this, or until i'm dead sleepy. apparently, they're among our youthful looking people who prefer to spend nights playing online PC games, fresh from their work in one of those 24/7 business process outsourcing companies here, rather than go straigth home, take good rest, dream details about tomorrow, or worse, do drugs. all this info, i've collected without actively listening, and being focused on this first attempt to do blogging. I also have been viewing other adult-oriented sites through other windows on this PC.

i look forward to meeting and getting to know some other bloggers out there who may get interested exchanging notes with someone from the Philippines, specifically Makati City (known as the prime business center in this country). this country becomes more interesting if taken in the context of sustained failures of its elite leaders to progressively lead this country into full development, given high rates of poverty. All this in an environment full of excitement, fiesta-like atmosphere, youthfulness spread all over.

for this blogging endeavor, i plan to share some write-ups which I've kept in my bookshelves to targetted readers of new literature. I'm pretty excited to gain initial feedback from these interested readers. i'm talking about my desire to re-visit my past when i used to do cruising amidst the century old walls of Intramuros (the Hispanic Manila, actually). some days i get to be haunted by this past, yet gradually i've learned to make great use of these experiences in gaining confidence, and knowing myself better. why not just get in touch with my kind? well, i've nothing much to gain, except if i deal with others not of my kind. i need fresh feedback, and honest, great inputs.
