That’s great that you’re following your dream and what you love to do. I think blogging is a great outlet for aspiring writers, myself included. I also think it’s hilarious that you worked at a call center. I do IT Support but for our clients, it’s not a large call center. Still I can probably sympathize with a lot of your woes with that job. We can compare stories of idiotic users. Thanks for the blogroll ad, I added you as well. Take care!

@Aileen: You have to admit that it was a very original concept. Do you still have them? Maybe we should publish them! LOL. Then again, maybe not.

hey hey hey. about those so called “silly novels”. i beg to disagree. ours was really really good, albeit amusing. its like riding a rollercoaster when reading them! (commented one reader). now the only novel you can probably call silly is kaye’s infamous “the turkey death”. total crap if you ask me.

Because it’s as far away from numbers as you can get, and is sure to be a torture? As you pointed out, writers thrive on drama. There’s very little drama in doing something you’re already very good at.

And yes, I took up Accountancy, and to this day, I’m still stuck with doing the books, in between management and editing tasks. Could’av been worse, though. Could’av been out in Walking Street, instead, gyrating. =)

Hmmm… If I remember correctly, Chin also took up accountancy (correct me if I’m wrong, Chin). Why do writers want to be accountants at some point? Strange.

@Chin: Drat! You weren’t serious about my Christmas present??? LOL!

Your list of my qualities is so much better than my grandma’s, which, by the way, includes immoral, lazy, and ungrateful. But I’d rather take your word for it because I like you so much better.

@Mahal: Oh, dear. That bad, huh? I probably would’ve done the same if I pursued the damn thing.

I want your link! Pretty please? And do use that line, if you wish. I actually got it from someone else, as well, though she’s changed it since.

And because of you, I now have a blog! Though I am not telling where and what lol

I took up Accountancy and it bored me to tears, too. Unfortunately, I was a very obedient daughter then, so I just finished the damn thing. My mother must have regretted forcing me because I slashed both wrists (7 times on each side, yikes) in Manila while I was reviewing for the board exams LOL Good thing most of the scars are faded, though four lines remain clearly visible =(

Can I put that in my blog? I am scarred and I write. With your permission, of course =)

I’ll have to get you something nice for Christmas now. Tsk, tsk. =)

On a more serious note, you forgot to add that while it was the writing that I enjoyed, it’s the person I came to like even more. Strange how quickly I “took” to you when I could count with one hand the times we’ve physically met.

You know what I like so much about you, though? You’re the girl in every female grownup. You’re brave, and headstrong, and irrepressible, and intelligent, and you get into the most interesting scrapes – some entirely of your doing and choosing, others completely by accident. No matter what happens, though, you get up and continue making interesting choices.

Way binuang. You remind me of L.M Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables, only she has red hair and freckles, and didn’t have your curves. =)
