Has bloging taken over my life? Maybe...Here I am sitting in a strange internet cafe that's inside a small residential apartment. One of those hole-in-the-wall places that have sprouted all over the city. It reminds me of the underground net cafes in China that I kept reading about last year. I couldn't resist coming over. I saw the sign that said "Internet" and I ran for it. Darn. I'm hooked for life. After I picked out a nice spot, I immediately started blogging.

With this much blogging going to my head, my wife is complaining. And I've taken it a step further, too. I just recently joined an online community of Pinoy Bloggers. When asked to introduce myself and why I started blogging, I responded: "Ed here 27, from Angeles City, Pampanga. Started blogging October last year to share my neurotic and trivial thoughts with complete strangers. Blogging beats lying down on a couch and talking to a therapist/shrink who'll charge you mondo bucks for rephrasing everything you say. Blogging is therapy. Blogging is good. Blogging is the embodiment of enlightenment on the internet. Say it with me .... * ohm * "

Lately though, I've been stuck to my own blog. So much for enlightening oneself with the insight of others. I haven't read anyone else's blog in a while. I've become the hermit that I so despised. I'm stuck in my own selfish universe once more and I'm determined to get out again. So, I've resolved to visit the blogs I've listed on my sidebar. I've decided to tag their tagboards, to zonk their zonkboards and to scream obscenities at their shoutboxes to make myself heard. Okay, that's enough. I'll do it tomorrow. I'm racking up paid time here.
