[...] If I can hazard a guess, I’d say it’s related to my obsession with “scratching the itch” — setting targets for myself then hitting those targets. Many targets. Too many that it might be construed as megalomania (more on that in a later post). These targets include blogging, webmastering, and writing. Writing then branches into poetry, English, sci-fi, flash fiction, Tagalog, creative nonfic, fantasy, and so on. When I hit one of these targets (i.e. the “achievement”), I’m soon overwhelmed by the “unachieved” things grinning at me on the horizon — [...]

[...] Well, I had actually planned to leave this blog for only two weeks, which was the time when I was battered by final exams, project deadlines, paper submissions, and the like. All in a quest to, yes, scratch another itch. And believe me, I did scratch that one. [...]

i refrain from inflicting harm upon others just because i’m so afraid of others’ punishment. punishment comes in all forms. but the punishment that i can hardly take (again), is when the person(s) affected by the harm (though sometimes, it is not really meant as harm on my part) push(es) you around. i hate to be alone.
for that reason, i can be classified as a golden rule-preoccuppied. though, i certainly agree that one must not do good deeds just to save one self from hell. blame that to the Spaniards!
many would say “sobrang bait mo kasi Jonas…”. i heard it many times, modesty aside. but i don’t apply the golden rule (the affirmative one) every time i play mr. nice guy. “sanay na akong hindi masuklian…”. but i don’t want to be used to it.

on scratches…

hmmmm… these itches are not caused by “allergies” or resistance. in fact, they are caused by the opposite.

well, you don’t want to be a regular. and that’s the additional price of being differently special. it’s not just you choose to be different from others. but you also want a change and to change.

scratches are supposedly skin-deep. this summer is medication session. o-oh. we don’t have summer…

self-mutilating bastard? i think it’s because you have passion…and the passion is itching to come out and be fully expressed. wow. i’m seeing a sort-of new side to you. welcome back.

Friendster is good for one thing: ranting status messages every now and then in the About Me textarea. People transform it into a pseudoblog. Mine quotes Leni Bedspacer (I forgot which number): “KUNG PWEDE LANG MAMATAY MUNA!!!
BUHAYIN NYO NA LANG AKO NEXT SEM!!!”

I placed that last sem. And will apply perpetually, of course.

Indeed, I haven’t felt this ngarag ever. But I guess I’ve always been about cramming.

I think I can still juggle extracurricular projects as long as there’s extracurricular leisure. (Parinig ito; di ako nakapag-Kitchie Nadal. Hmf!) It’s the acads that become the question marks.

Anyway, here’s what I really intended to reply in the first place: Sado-masochist! And yet, still selfish. No matter what one does. Yes, it’ll end up with that.
