Looking Back

t'was originally written on 12/18. Just want to update something on my blogspot.

I got an email from friendster blogs reminding me to moderate the pending comments of my entries on their blog site. As I clicked on the links on the email, I saw two unnecessary comments from a spammer selling me Viagras and potent-pills! hahaha! I would think over their offers if they just sell hair regrowing products. Anyhow, since I was already on the page, I took a quick review of my old blog entries dating from 2004 and was both hilariously surprised and nostalgic on how long my entries were and on how crude my form of writing was. but as I scrolled down further and further on to my older blog entries, I realized the contents of my blogs were pure, unadulterated, and free. Reading my old entries were more like looking back in my history and finding out how much of me has changed and how much of me is still the same. I still feel like writing when I'm in love or melancholic, and somehow I have seen a change in which the freedom I got back from college is now fading and is now being restrained to basic necessities such as salaries, jobs, troubles of getting old. i guess I just miss my old self again or i just miss the old times. I wonder right now if I have progressed or regressed or remained stagnant. either ways, I can see that I have definitely changed and is continuing to change. I shall look back into this entry again to remind me of who I am today, with or without Viagra pills.

Today is the 80th birthday of my dad, Ret. Lt. Sgt. Felicisimo T. Valencia. A man so alive and kicking, he went to Campo Crame from Camarin all by himself yesterday. cheers, dad! I know if you look back right now, there'll be a lot of things you'll also be reminded of. Hope I could also look back as much years as you do. :-) Love you pops!
