why do i even bother. i’m supposed to write a 2-3 page essay on "my understanding of mythology" in MLA format for an online writing gig. my 4th attempt. the first three, i had applied for eagerly, but ditched the "test" articles once they got assigned. i tried really hard to do them. pero ang hirap mehn. the first one had me choose from topics like electric wheelchairs, mortgage and loans, and 100 other boring topics no one wants to write about…. then for this other one i had 12 hours to write three 500 word articles on back-to-school tips for gradeschoolers, downloading mp3’s (which I was supposed to be a genius at), and some other bullshit topic i can’t remember… the 3rd one looked legit enough, but required me to identify a common moral theme in shakespeare’s hamlet: prince of denmark and oscar wilde’s the importance of being earnest… eh potah ni isa sa dalawang yun hindi ko pa napapanood let alone nabasa… siyempre i only read about the assignment 12 hours after it was posted so that left me with half a day to research and write…
now on my 4th attempt, i really thought that i would pull this off. i got the assignment friday and the deadline was monday and ayun, mythology chorva lang… so ano na pam, lunes ng gabi na, ala pang essay… shit. malapit nang magTuesday, nagba-blog ka pa, 3 paragraph pa lang ng bullshit nasusulat mo. ano tong nagku-quote ka pa ng joseph campbell nung kabataan mo (read: college days) eh di mo naman magamit sa mga pagkakataong kailangan mo ito… ano ba pam, why delude yourself into thinking you can write by doing a blog post where you easily dump words like diluted shit (at nagmemetaphor ka pa?!) i hate myself… paano ko na lang bubuhayin ang anak ko kung napakatamad ko at bobo at inefficient at– hay naku nagse-self flagellate nanaman ako… aarrgh.
sana pwede na lang akong kumita ng dollars sa langkwenta kong blog na to
sana pag tumaya ako sa lotto bukas ng umaga, manalo ako
mga 19 million
shit

pwede bang ghost na lang weheheheheheh (ayan na i’m losing it)

hahaha! sorry, couldn’t help it. grabe, miss ka na namen ni jules. baket ba hindi magkatagpo skeds nating tatlo? shet, if you can get away this saturday, please do your bestest to meet up with us at the cubao shoe expo for the sinemalayo thingy. i know, same-old same-old, pero kailangan na kita makita. ewan. basta. wala naman akong kwento pero kailangan lang kita makita.
good luck on your writing attempts. i’m sure you have better luck than i do. god, i swear writing is the worst. what a hateful job. bukod sa di mo na gusto mga topics mo, you most of the time end up feeling like a big moron and wallowing in self-pity. but well, you do what you have to do.
btw, when are you resigning? dapat may celebration tayo. hehe.
