mookie's prologue

i'm guessing the first thing off the top of your mind would be: what the heck is a mookie? well, i don't really know either.

one night, while staring at my msn window, figuring out just what my next nick would be, it sorta just wriggled its way out of random, squirmed through my fingers, and plonked itself onto the keyboard.

instantly, i realized that this nickname, mookie, which obviously had absolutely no meaning, had arrived onto my monitor for one purpose. the destiny of these six letters were to provide anonymity for the vent through which my lamentations and nonsense could be spouted, a pseudonym for the mask that i would put on while penning down lame shit and random thoughts on the internet.

why do i even need a mask in this vast expanse of cyberspace, you ask? well, that's because technology is shrinking the world, and almost everybody knows everybody else nowadays. but you already know that, so i'm gonnna save the lecture of globalization through information technology. =)

i actually had another blog, about the past stories of my life, but after a while, i ran out of interesting stories and inspiration to blog, and negligence thus arose to consume it. this time round, i'll blog more about what's happening, as well as what's NOT happening, and what i hope will happen in my life, as well as in the lives of others.

well, let's just cross our fingers and pray that i'll have enough interest and motivation to keep updating my blog, instead of leaving it for dead, like my previous one.

oh yeah, i just discovered how to publish pictures in here.



this is a pendant that i found in a night bazaar during a trip to bangkok. it hasn't been taken off since the evening i bought it, and i've grown quite used to it hanging around my neck. it actually makes me feel good, so i guess it'll be there for quite some time to come. there's also a matching female version of it, but i haven't found anyone to give it to yet. anyway, that's another story for another time.

feel free to leave your comments/opinions/complaints, just to let me know my blog is being read. right now, typing this, i feel like i'm talking to myself, like some kinda self-reflection. once in a while, it's ok to do it, but after a period of time, i'd be really uncomfortable, and then start doubting my sanity. so if anyone ever reads this, please show some support. i know i may not be posting stories like the next blockbuster movie or best-selling novel, but i promise you that your gracious proof of existence will be cherished and returned with more entries that would hopefully harvest more interest in this blog of mine.

ps. i apologize for the lengthy introduction.. but get used to it. i'm far too lazy to draft and summarize.
