I get so weak with words.

I have been fascinated with writing English lately. Long before, I have been so drunk with my English grammar that, I had to hate English and writing. I had English as my hatest subject beforehand. Why, you may ask? Because I cannot figure out grammar. I suck at grammar. Grammar and English makes me weak. I have always envied people who has this huge dictionary of words in their vocabulary, with correct grammar at most.

Grammar and English just mattered to me when people and my school started giving me results of my bad English. I know I suck, I'd rather have Math than have English! Eckkk! But since English was a means of communication and, some would say, a means of success, I had to start improving my weakness. I even remembered buying during my high school, extra English books to improve my grammar.

I just had that certain urge where I would want to improve on what I lack. So I started saying to myself, start typing full, text full, blog and tweet in English (even if I know, I sometimes flunk my English). I have to start somewhere along the way.


Then my friend since high school, also my blog buddy ever since, commented just recently about how I post in my blog. She said that I improved my grammar and blogging skills, and that started it all. After that, I started receiving comments from friends about where I have gotten my 'poetic sounding words'. Eck! I do not even know that I have this poetic figure in me (how I wish).

Ever since that praise, I started believing in myself, that I could eventually improve more. I even dreamt of myself writing for a magazine or a newspaper. Oh wow! What have this weakness gotten myself into?

.. then after, I would also improve another weakness of mine..

.. and that is communicating with other people without the awkwardness and stress into it.

Ehhh!

"I therefore conclude that weakness, when practiced, could also be your strength."

Look what Violin got me thinking.

Hi earthlings! I realized I have been blogging so much this past few days and it makes me happy because that means I always have something to going on. ;) But this time around, let me tell you that I have no particular event to share to you. I just thought that may be when I face the blogger-new-post-screen I would be able to produce sensible thoughts to write about. So here I go. Hmm.. This morning, I managed to finish the book that took me ages to finish. FINALLY. You'll probably wondering what took me so long and what this book is. So here it is. Violin by Anne Rice, that I managed to borrow from my friend, Patt (Hi Patt, if you're reading this, I'll be able to give this back to you, finally!). I borrowed it from Patt several months ago (I know, that long!) because I got curious. Let's just say, it's also a literature experiment for me. But seeing my progress in reading this book.. I ain't happy with it. Thus made me conclude literary genres li

what's in my bag... for real

Image
what's in my bag (taken with instagram) left to right:  Umbrella (Grosser Schatten)- You could call me umbrella girl scout, because I always have this handy with me; rain or shine, I have this under my skin. Always keep in mind that quality is better than quantity. If I were you, buy the most expensive umbrella (at least 500), for the quality will stick with you until the end. I have this umbrella for 2 years already. Northanger Abbey (Jane Austen)- I remember my enthusiasm once I bought this book because the price of the book was less than 100. Oh the perks of a classic! But the downside to it, was the sardines font and the old English text that made my mind relaps after reading for some quite time. I don't remember the time when I started reading the book, but I had to say that it's taking me a long while because of all the old English texts. Nonetheless, I love reading hard to decipher books rather than teeny weeny easy ones. Alcohol (Hygenix)- You'l

Make-up Stash

I don't know what got me today but I suddenly had an urge to fix my make-up stash (not that it's many). I will surely say that I maintain just the right amount of make-up that I know I could use until the end. I would not definitely buy new ones if I know there's a lot more in my stash, not unless I got it in a cheaper price = SALE or it's already expired. ;) Anyway, since we're at it, I tried coloring my face again with eye shadows that I don't normally use during the day. I usually do this during the times that I'm bored. lol Honestly, I don't even know how to put eye shadow in its right way. I just treat it as an eyeliner, thus the color I placed in my eye, is just near my eye lashes. If only someone could teach me. ;) And of course, with that experimenting or whatever, I would never fail to be vain. Eye bags, please disappear. lalalala ;)
