And from this angle... extended

I guess it was about time to do this. I like to think I finish what I start. Why draw blood, only to faint at the very sight of it? Or in this case, why start a blog when you have no intention of keeping it up?
A good number of my dear friends made it clear that I had no reason to claim a hermit existence. Keeping people in the dark can only be accomplished by keeping in the shadows as well. Though romantic sometimes, such a condition borders on being rather peverse. As I have no intetion to build such a reputation, I deem it better I step back rather hastily into the sunlight.
To make things simpler... I'm back.
I guess the return back to the Philippines had truly great benefits, both physically (though I would rather the waistline be seen only as an unfortunate consequence) and emotional. Running away only brings you closer to that which you are trying to avoid... and in some cases, the very things you refuse to see.

I needed to be scolded by my friends for me to see that running wasn't getting me anywhere. For that alone, I am grateful. Henceforth, I hope that this stage may not only serve as a forum for my thoughts, but serve as a window for those curious to see how my life is playing out now. And who knows, you may just see yourselves on stage, sharing what little spotlight there is.

I'll try an put variety in the exercise. Possibly use this one, (as I started it earlier) as the extended version on my journal. Perhaps this willl be the "director's cut" as they say (though I still believe such editions are more of a marketing ploy than an better version of the theatrical release. That said, I do have the extended editions of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy as well as the special edition Donnie Darko... well you get the picture. ). In any case, might as well use this as a platform for my views, unedited.

So, till the next curtain call, I bid you all God bless and may in all our journeys, may we find that which we truly seek.
