Writing Rehab

An officemate told me that one of our ex-colleagues will be coming back from Taiwan. Since we both love pens, she then told me to tell him to buy us some colorful Gtech pens, which I did. And then when he came back, I was more than thrilled to have it with a free pen case (which he bought, thanks again).

I am into Scrapbooks and having a bunch of office supplies on my big case (yes, I have a big case of artsy things on my room) gives me relief. Whenever I think of something to do, i just get to that big case and I never ran out of things to do. But now, recently, i decided to Get cold turkey on the social networking and anything related to it. I admit, I still come and visit but I do not post a lot of things anymore and I stayed away from everything that got me hurt in the first place. After I was bullied online, after all the tears and all the other drama shit, I was pushed to make the decision. Everyone doesn't have to know, the less they know, better. If they want to know more, they can ask me in person. I don't have to let everyone know what I am doing, where I am, who I am with, etc. Well, now, I only use the internet to read, check emails, look for stuffs, see and admire pictures online. As for communications, my friends know how to get to me. I am still always online ( hello unlimited internet plan) so they know what to do. Yes, me, going cold turkey on social networking/other related stuffs is stranger to me than you thought, I would still love to maximize the plan, but if it means having the palpitations and the tears back, no way jose. I have to remind myself that.

But this non-tweeting decision has it's own drawbacks, I am still thinking what I would like to tweet. To address that, I bought a notebook yesterday. So that on weekends, I can just write what I would like to tweet and of course read and do my other stuffs (photography, badminton and running/jogging).

I am a fan of cute notebooks, my box is full of it. I have different notebooks for different purposes. And no, I am no organized girl, I am just fond of it and I love writing too. Which was a good thing, so far, I have been writing stuffs on it since yesterday. The only thing I tweeted about was the RH thing which is a different topic and something I would rather not talk now.

I remember watching a Chinese film where in they write symbols on their past time. It's meditating, in a way, and I know I'm losing my concentration if there are erasures. I have to focus more.

Well, this simple writing thingy is very promising. Something to give me comfort for a while, one another perfect distraction from everything that should not matter. I have been making a lot of distractions lately and I hope I am not missing out on anyone with this.

Also, I am making an end of the year goal that I should fill out all its pages before the end of the year. Well, I wish myself luck and I will now sign off, I have some more writing to do. Cheerio!
