however, that didn't work too.
don't ask me why. (",)

hey! ho! howdy! happy holidays!
might as well forgive me for being too ecstatic, but i'm extremely overjoyed for now, about twenty minutes before the clock strikes 12... which means merry christmas to all of you!
maybe it's time to really speak up and return to my normal ways... i mean, three hours of internet surfing over seven days is a crime, right? anyway, the point is... i missed this thing. i haven't been away from my desktop computer this long before...
so, everybody's either outside participating in a mass or inside their houses preparing the noche buena. i'm one of those included in the latter, doing the annual text barrage, all through the very weak sun cellular signal.
andito nga pala ako sa napakaaliwalas na bahay ni lola't lolo, with my immediate family. the others returned to the provinces...
sixteen minutes to go, and we're merely waiting for gramps and granny to come back home from mass. i smell macaroni soup and roast chicken from the kitchen...
and then there comes another text message... hey, i recently found out that it's hard switching between two sim cards...
so that's it. a very merry christmas to you all, says me [and santa claus and fred flintstone in cartoon network...] i love you guys... (",)
*ten minutes left!!!*
g_b got tired of senseless ranting by 23:41. |
it was just about now when i noticed that people write things about themselves in the profile section of their online diaries. then i looked at my former blog sites, and, it was like... whoa, am i really that weird?
so maybe it's time for a bit of change, a touch of conventionalism. for once, at least.
well, you see the guy in the picture? yeah, that spectacled boy running in haste? that's supposed to be me, j. gabriel de leon y limpin... what does j stand for, you ask? it's for me to know and for you to find out if you still don't know.
i'm a 16-year old boy who wears a pair of glasses, sports unkempt hair, and usually dons loose clothes. i might look a bit plump in the drawing, but in actuality i'm a tall, dark, skinny, frail guy who always forgets to drink his milk and take his breakfast. up to know i still wonder how come i stand at five-feet-eight-inches but weigh only 102 pounds...
way back then, i was a small, plump kid who showed a lot of promise. during parties, my mom and dad would usually strut around and boast of how intelligent, how healthy, how handsome i was. for eight or so years, that had been the case. i got my share of respect, like this little prince...
then came a heartbreak, and high school.
inexplicably, i suddenly became a complacent and idle guy who fell in love with my personal computer too much, even to the point of forgetting if i already had dinner. i was transformed into a student ridiculously full of potential but never getting to use the stuff. i developed a very healthy sleeping habit that made me garner the honorable distinction of being the student earliest for the nth class.
high school went on, heartbreaks pursued at will, and down to oblivion went that once promising young kid. so much for the pride of my parents.
today, i still look back to him. in fact, i'm trying to revive him, after four years of dormancy, or something more like stagnation. impossible, yes, but it's worth a try. too late, maybe, but i'll prove that it's not.
