The Thrill of Blogging
I don’t usually shout to the world my blog site since I’m a rather private person, and so my blog entries are usually for my eyes only. But now I decide to go real online. I’ve revived my Multiply site (www.chunv.multiply.com), gave it a little facelift, and renewed by desire to diligently post something at least once a week.
There’s something about writing that I can’t resist. I hear this voice in my head that seems to dictate to me what to write, and all I do is just to obey. Write whatever I hear, write whatever my heart tells me. The silence of the night keeps my company as I try to find will to sleep. There are days when I would wish there were more than 24 hours in a day, so I could do more. Today happens to be one of those days. My schedule tells me I should be asleep at this time for a have to be up by 430am, but my heart longs to express something, at least through the written word.
Today I bought a lamp for the living room, and I especially liked the dimmer in the switch. That is called control. Power. With a slight twitch, I can set how intense or dim I want the light to be. Who wouldn’t want that? People like to be in control, don’t they? The problem starts when you can no longer discern what you can and cannot control.

It’s been a long time since I wrote something here. I used to stay up til the wee hours of the morning just writing about what I feel like writing. Usually it doesn’t make any sense. Just letting it all out. Not caring at all if my grammar is correct, or if my syntax is perfect. In fact, it’s okay if no one will ever get to read this. All I want to do now is to write.
One goal I still want to achieve is to create my own website, featuring my food essays and my luscious food photographs. I should be able to finally launch that project this year, so watch out for it. Any suggestion for a domain name? I’m stuck with cheesychun.com. Yes, I’m a huge fan of cheese but I’s sure there’s a better name out there.
Which reminds me, I still have to hang my "cheeses" in my kitchen. I got this cheap but really nice picture of various cheeses around the world, neatly framed. Goes well with the room’s yellow-theme. Wait, let me raid the fridge right now. Swoooosh.
I’m back with a Havarti from Hickory Farms. It’s a pasteurized process cheese spread, and has a very delicate taste. Perfect with crackers. Who needs a spreader, I have my fingers. Yum!

Metro Manila Film Festival. A tradition my high school friends have tried to keep through these years. What’s it gonna be this year? A horror flick, as Melissa has suggested? Or is it a follow up of Bong Revilla’s entry? Ano na nga ba yun? Exodus? Gals, remember the "special effects"? Hindi halata, in fairness :p Patalon-talon lang naman naman sya..oops, sorry — private jokes!
Gals, if anyone of you is reading this blog, I do wanna tell you that I really, as in really, treasure this friendship of ours. Just imagine, we started back in 1987! And still here we are, I would say as strong as…er….narra tree??? Perhaps it has something to do with our alma mater, dear and beloved, fountain of truth and light…
United and dedicated to you we’ll ever be, to distant lands we may go searching for truth and the unknown…
To thee we pledge our loyal heart and soul, Quezon City Science High School…
Awww, I miss high school!
