Yesterday morning, just before I went to sleep something happened and that made me write an awful emo post, so far The Mother of all Emos where I announced my intention to be on temporary blog leave.
I must admit that it was a freak out moment and I may have assumed too much of the worst. But it is still too early for hurrahs because there certainly is a problem and it still remains to be unsolved nor the least controlled.
Thanks to all those people who gave their screams. (ewik, keitaro hanazawa, dabo, dazedblu, kuya joms, caleb, jake, stan, roneiluke, mel beckham-atienza, and ice) Your words really helped lighten up my mood and gave me a more positive outlook with regards to my problem. Because of you guys, I quickly realized that it is too early to be having a breakdown. The dark clouds started to loom and this could only be the beginning. I should have at least saved the suicide drama for much later when the rain actually pours.
Now I feel a bit more optimistic. Although I know things will be tough, I am more certain things will be great.
However, eventhough I'm feeling a little better now, I still wish to stand by my decision to go on a temporary blog leave.
I must say that blogging has been a guilty pleasure of mine for the past few months. I believe I've been spending more time blogging and bloghopping rather than devoting more time for my thesis. I only have about a month left for me to finish my thesis book! Im only 45% done so far with the book. I still need to collect a lot of data, do space diagrams, site analysis, create a design concept, do schematics... woosah!
I must force myself to go on a blog leave. I'd hate to do it, but I have to. Honestly though, I think it would be really difficult for me not to blog so you'd still probably see me around. hehe I might even still post some entries. So I guess it wouldn't be a total blog leave. We'll see how it goes...
Mwah!

If you need to go on a blog leave to fix things, then by all means go! Di naman kita pinapalayas masyado noh?
Pero seriously, if you need to rest or have more time talaga for yourself, I think a blog leave would be necessary. Basta bumalik ka lang.:)
Geez, yer making one step [at] a time, is tht a song? hehe XD
dabo is right again (fan ba ako ni dabo?) don' pressure yerself, you have an once to think abt the issues and surpass it.

I fokken disagree, Odin dude!
You are one prolific writer and you already made a solid fan base...
YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO YOUR READERS, YOU GOODLOOKING HOT DUDE!!! SO DON'T GIVE US THAT "I'M STILL STICKING TO MY LONG-PLANNED-BLOG-LEAVE" CRAP!
Hehehe...emote lang po Odin, ginagaya lang kita, nakakatawa ka nung umpisa di ba?
O, balik na sa pag-aaral. Tapusin na yang thesis na yan. Theses are as important as your resume. Kapag may ini-interview ako, lagi ko tinatanong, "So what is your thesis all about?" Believe me, a lot of them did not take their theses by heart so they gave me a grunt for an answer.
Good luck!
