like a phoenix… from the ashes

It’s been quite a while since the last time I posted a blog. Usually, for other people who haven’t blogged for a while the reason is lack of time, but for me it was cowardice. Seriously.

I’ve wanted to do REAL writing for the longest time I can imagine (around a year already), but I had so many stupid things in my head that made me hesitate. I was too scared to write them down… I never knew I’d become like this (you know…pathetic). Before, I just kept telling myself that I’m too tired to write after a whole day of whoring for the corporate world (plus 4 hours travel to and fro), because it’s hard to admit that you’re scared of making your ideas real, tangible, and out for the world to see (and that’s not me, that’s why it really freaked me out!).

You see, people know that I write for a living and I’ve become a coward because of the thought that I might make an error (technical, typos, what have you) and everyone would see… yes, I’ve become a freakin’ people pleaser. Grrr!!!

So, after a few rants and discussing my issue with great friends I finally got it. I thought… who cares?!!? You don’t give a f**k about what they think anyway… and without standards, no one’s mediocre.

So here it is, diwangLaya resurrected (diwangLaya -‡ coined it when I was still in college, and used it as my pen name for subversive/NGO publications…heheJ)

For all my creative (expression obsessed) friends; sugar&gino, carlo, linet, atbp. thanks for making your blog URL’s accessible for me, they inspired me to rediscover my roots.

Cheers!
