it has been a few days already
ive noticed that it has been a few days already since i had actually posted something new. so i guess now is as good a time to write something...
--------------------------------
i particularly enjoy reading blogs. it allows us the reader a window to understand the person. how we write is very much like the thumbprint that we have; its unique to ours and in some ways it can identify us.
i remember a time when i asked a friend of mine in college to read my thesis which i had wrote with a partner. and she could easily tell which were the parts that i had written. she said that there are some words which i tend to overuse as well as how i tend to write things too simply and just not use too much of the terminology which could have been used. just thought about it...
going back, as i said. reading blogs is such a pasttime of mine actually. i remember something i read about. i was browsing through some of the latest books out in barnes & nobles, and one of the said books was entitled "maintaing a long-distance" (im not sure if thats the exact title, but thats pretty much the whole idea of it) out of curiousity i did browse through and one of the things it said, was that even though talking over the phone is great. conversing through email is very much just as important.
recalling the years that i spent apart with my fiancee, pretty much our interaction was pretty much through conversations and daily updates through email. yes we did talk to each other, but that would usually be an hour or so during the weekends. and maybe if necessary during the weekday. still, reading her emails and pretty much the reading what she went through the day or week, was really a great thing to read. i believe that in some ways you can tell a lot about the person by following their train of thought through the events that they have gone through. which made it rather weird that whenever we did get to see each other (which was only 2 visits on my part through the 3 years apart), never did i feel that i felt left out in her world. or that i didnt feel that i was a part of her life.
just like she said to me. she could tell that being here in new york has changed me a bit. and i told her likewise. but its not like it happened overnight, it was something that she saw through the stories and recollections i would share with her. and i also knew what she meant, as i would read through her emails sometimes i would pause cause you could easily perceive that she has changed as well.
--------------------------------
i guess thats why still enjoy emailing people even though i could easily chat with them as well. nothing can say more about a person that the stuff that they write on how their day may have been.
