		<description>To Comments RSS,

We meet again and I was hoping our confrontation could be delayed for hmm lets say next semester perhaps? But who am I kidding that would be asking the impossible. 

You are probably wondering why I am writing knowing I could have done and be doing lots of things--except this. Well I’ll let you on a secret Com. Deadline has arrived again.

I could ignore both of you but you know me better than that and I know myself better than to do that. Heck going that far would be suicide! This is what I got myself into. Being enrolled in a system called BAE whose one of the many rules is to meet you on a regular basis. Writing every now and then, making my presence known so you would perhaps remember me. It is difficult. Afterall you’ve got what like twenty admirers worshipping you (there is hele, joli, hahaha and lots more) while I am doing this out of necessity. Got it?

However it is interesting that I find myself having fun writing to you. Even if all of it is just me ranting like a chicken. Blabbering such nonsense. For in every word I convey I find myself actually being relieved of my &#039;baggages&#039; as if coming clean. 

I know I ought to write more (which I should) but this matter of writing between you and me has led me to lots of possibilities (now that I think about it). I am being shown to a different world that only people enrolled in this system can make sense of. Should I take the next step? Throw away my baggages and brave the new world you are trying to show me.

Damn I am hallucinating and you are probably thinking I’ve gone nuts which somehow aptly describe the predicament I dug myself into.

Crazy for You,
Mel</description>

		<description>i&#039;ll explain better my previous answer...

writing is all about having fun(able to invent things, create characters and “brainchilding” quotes!) but at the same time making sense.

OR maybe (for the people in despair) writing is a product of a person who is in a dismal state but at the same time making sense.
--------
Writing puts the author in a position in which he/she owns something that will never die. To immortalize oneself maybe is the real deal. But at the very same time he/she will able to create new lives, new thoughts, new problems( though i strongly believe one do really have an influence) that makes him/her satiated.

It is a good feeling to be able to mold lives and thoughts that will tickle or hurt feelings of other people. Such is also a great adventure, like dreams, to travel places and meet people( though dreams are somewhat uncontrollable,writing allows an author to use God&#039;s hands).

The beauty of writing all-in-all is the fun of being in control. The only hindrance is the person&#039;s limitations(though this can be arguable) and his/her perseverance and passion. How much fun can it be to put a character in peril by throwing problems at him/her, create profound ideas and quotes that  maybe just maybe being passed on chain letters, text messages or shout-outs in Friendster(not to mention being trnasmogrified into a Song or even a title to a movie, Filipinos do that always) and to have ones thoughts printed in paper. I just love the anatomy of the book, the smell, the cover and the name printed on it. 

Hope this is sufficient and from now on, i&#039;ll be a better person and student.

PEACE OUT!</description>

		<description>In my status as a creative writing student, I still have the difficulty in difining what really writing is and why i write. However, I consider myself as a student of this course and somehow defines what writing is.
For me, writing is a product of human&#039;s creative mind. one writes because of what he or she sees in his/her daily course. Anybody could write as long as he/she knows how to write. There are stages of writing: first, as a student in highschool, we write on our diaries and other school papers; second, new writers who are starting to write their masterpieces; and finally, professional writers like Nathaniel Hawthorne, William Wordsworth and Edgar Allan Poe. Of course, it&#039;s my own idea in defining them.
A person writes not just because he/she reflects the things he/she sees but also because he/she sees the character that he/she&#039;s looking to. We create imaginations when we write. We meditate and then we write. Through writing, we can express our own perceptions and views in an issue.
The effectivity of our depends on how readers appreciate it or if he appreciate it in the first place.
With these thoughts, my conclusion would be: if someone intnends to write something about an event, he/she has the chance to write it on the way he/she wants to. Because anyone could write, anyone could appreciate his/her work.#</description>
