Letter Later

Dearest Naj,

Hello there, Jana of the year 2019. It’s me, Jana of 2014. Maybe you are wondering why are you reading a letter from the past and addressed to yourself? Well for you to remember, Sir Ivan, your class instructor last summer 2014 in Technical Writing has given you an assignment to write to yourself, five years from now. And here is that letter; you are reading it for yourself.

How is your life been doing? I hope everything is fine and that you are having a great time with whatever’s been making you busy at this point of your life. I’m curious, are you a CPA now? Or if not, I hope you are happy and contented with whatever title or job you landed on. Do you still dream of being a medical doctor? Because after 5 years, I don’t know if you’re mind has changed and that you’ve been dreaming of other things already. In the past, you know how lazy and timid you are. Prove to me now that you grew up and that you’ve become more mature. I hope by now that you have overcome your attitude and habit struggles when you were still a teenager.  How is your love life? You told yourself five years ago that you should have a sweetheart by the age of 25 and if by the age of 30, you’re still unmarried, you are going to find a foreigner. Childish, huh? But if ever you have a special someone right now, I hope he is what you have been praying for. And of course, that he loves you. Don’t forget that you still have a little brother that you should help with his studies. Eydi and Aeron must be much taller than you are now.

I wonder do you have an Iphone already or a Ford Everest car? Or are you saving money already for a new house for mama and papa? I know I sound so materialistic, but these are just some of the things that you have been dreaming last five years. Remember? By the way, I hope you are now planning on establishing an orphanage. I just want to remind you.

After 5 years, Christ’s coming must have been really sooner than 2014. You should be by now, above everything else, working at God’s mission field. I am aware that as people grow older, challenges also grow in number and in difficulty. God is still the best Conqueror, Friend and Father you have after all. I know He is with you always.

It was fun writing this letter, I hope you also had fun reading it. God bless you, self. ;)

 
Yours truly,

Wishes


I love and hate the feeling of being alone.
Have you ever wished you could go to a different place; everything will be new to you – the people, the environment, the culture, or even the language. I wish I can, and then I’ll be a stranger and will start a new, different kind of life. I’m just turning 20 but it feels like I have made all the mistakes a person could regret. Of course I am only exaggerating but that is just what I feel.
From the very start of creating this blog, I have always wanted to be mysterious. Not the scary kind or the criminal kind of mysterious. But the wallflower kind could be. I see this quiet kind of people really amusing. I want to be like them. Because I know deep down inside their minds are unique thoughts and loud opinion. They cannot voice them out so they keep it through arts – music, painting, sculpture, drawings, writers, artists. Aren’t they interesting? That’s why I like their kind of mysteriousness. But unfortunately, I am only the “not-really-an-arcane” person because I like to be around with friends. Not much, but just enough who can make me laugh and dream. Friends encourage and strengthen, especially when they’re true.
When I was in freshman year, I never went to the cafeteria alone, although I will not be eating there and will just take-out food, I just cannot bear the feeling of walking in a crowded room, alone. Eventually, I learned how to do it because I need to. If I won’t, I’ll suffer from stomach ache and that is worse than feeling alone. (But still I haven’t learned how to eat alone.) I walked this afternoon going to the cafeteria. And when you want to walk with someone you really, really like, going to the cafeteria feels so lonely. And now I just wish I didn’t get to like someone.
I wish I can write inspiring things. Ever since I got my heart broken, almost everything I write about is hurting and pain. I tried writing positive thoughts and blessings but I can’t keep up. Maybe the only reason why I am writing is that I don’t have someone to talk these things with. I have observed last year that I have fewer blog posts probably because I had good listening friends. It means that instead of sharing my thoughts through blogging, I have shared it already to my friends, so there’s no more use of expressing it in any other ways. But I guess, it still makes me feel better when they say, “Blog not to impress but to express.”
Everything is about feelings. I'm truly a girl. HAHA.

Blogger App for Android

Last week I posted about Bloggeroid application for android phones. And here's a little review.

Bloggeroid is so plain simple. It can only be used for posting and saving drafts you have written. Of course you can still add labels for your posts. You can also add photos and videos. When you want to change font styles, you should do it manually. Like when I want to make a word in bold letters, I should put something like this first: (</bold> ) Most bloggers know how these kind of things work. And yeah, just that. You can view your posts only on your phone browser but not direct from the application. It doesn't work exactly like blogger. If you want an application only for posting then this can be good enough for you.

Currently, I am using another application because I was not contented with Bloggeroid. There are two blog applications on my wishlist app in playstore and I hope this second one will work exactly to my specifications. This app is Blogaway and I'll be posting a review the next time I get back. ;)
