Green Apple

you might be wondering of the "green apple" title for this blog.  if you are a two-way radio chat fanatic way back in the early 90's, then you know that "green apple" means first-timer.

yes, i am a first-timer blogger. let this serve as a warning for those who may chance upon this page and read whatever that pops in my head at the moment of profundity. i am not a writer. i am grammatically and vocabulary challenged. so beware.

majority of my close friends say, i am an opinionated person. i beg to differ. i am simply an outburst of mind chaos. its not me talking but my alter ego.. blame her, not me.

now, the greater challenge is what to write, what to say, what to convey.. without sounding self-indulgent.  what the heck, this is my blog right? i can say whatever.

segue: in connection with the whole "first-timer" theme.. or whatever you want to call it, i have been challenging myself for a month now to do something new everyday.  So far, so good.  Some, i will definitely NOT gonna do again. although there are things that i have tried and loved it.. and doing it since.

i am not gonna enumerate all the things i have tried and done.. the fact that some are somewhat senseless or i just think it is. 

what inspired me to do this absurd challenge? if you call it that. well, as you grow old (not that i am.. and stop making that face!) you get to think of alot of things in your life.  or maybe i was in the moment of sulking myself in laziness, like nothing-better-to-do-type thing?

seriously, i hear and see people do this and that.  i figured, i can do those things. i just need a push, an inspiration, a smack on the head.. and boy! did i got the three. lucky me, huh?

its not about doing something big, but starting on something small. then slowly make your way up, as you challenge yourself more and more. is it working for me? i guess. i am not gonna vaunt that its easy, because its freakin' Not! but quite frankly, its liberating.

 

i would sometimes say to myself, "why the heck are you doing this anyway? its not like its doing you any good!" well, surprisingly.. it does do something to you.  people may not understand, but you are doing it for you. and hopefully inspire somebody in the process of your insanity.

one good example: engaging in this blog. people may read it or they won't. the point my dear readers (if there's any).. is that i did it! 

it might sound trite but life is too short. too short to wonder, but its long enough to travail. so what are you waiting for? 

be a green apple everyday.
