nightcrawler turns 1

exactly one year ago, pinasok ko ang mundo ng pagba-blog. i wasn't expecting anything really, and if you were with me from the very beginning or masipag kang mag-backread ng mga posts, i'm sure you know that my alter-ego was born out of boredom, angst, insomnia, and a great deal of binge-eating. one year later, well, i'm still writing about all those things... only, now i write out of wanting and not needing. i have always known that i loved writing, but i didn't realize that it can save me from total insanity and destruction that i brought upon myself. for that and so many other things, i thank

God for showing me the light in the darkness and that there is life after "almost" death(i'll have to explain this on another post)
mom, for pushing me to my limits and for the unconditional love and support, sometimes to an amount that i didn't even know was humanly possible.
my sister, for the love and care that you try to hide but comes bursting out instead.
my friends, who wouldn't give up on me and stuck it out with me during the worst time of my life. you guys are for keeps.
at sa mga kaibigan at idol ko sa mundo ng pagba-blog, for keeping me inspired and constantly reminding me how good it feels to write about things that matter to me.

i know it sounds corny but that's who i am... a corny guy with a laptop and internet connection. and i bet you are too... otherwise hindi mo masisikmura ang mga pinagsususulat ko dito. haha.

ps. i just realized na late ng isang araw itong post ko dahil september 5 ang anniversary ng blog ko. haay... nga pala, my 21st birthday is fast approaching. to those who want to celebrate it with me, pwede kayong magpadala ng picture greetings sa jr_2pak@yahoo.com on or before october 9... come on, make me smile on my special day. pretty please? with ice cream on top?
