    Default Dear Life

    This is something new I want to try...

    The way we do this is by writing a story in diary form. This is different, because although it is like the Round Robins, the diary entries will be a format different to the regular story format. Please feel free to contribute and/or comment.

    I will start.....

    --------------------------------

    January 1st, 2002

    Although today is New Year's Day, it doesn't feel like it. The world seems to have ended. Sure, the fireworks still exploded in the sky of New York, Sydney, Paris and London. The people still went on celebrating the new year. But what happened at September 11th last year still remain within our minds, even if at the back of our heads. I think it changed everyone, our lives, our thoughts, our feelings, our believes. But most tried to surpress that feeling.

    I turned on the TV today. They are still fighting in Afghanistan. When the people are celebrating, did they ever think of the suffering people of Afghanistan? Those people who are suffering not only because of war but also from poverty? From violence? From prejudice? Is anyone out there who is watching the news? Or are they too busy celebrating to care for the less fortunate else where in the world?

    I saw a shooting star as I looked out the window. I made a wish. A wish that was hard to accomplish, but a wish for all of humankind. It was a wish for peace. A peace in the world.

    Best Wishes.

    This is different to the normal Round Robins because the story can be uncontinous (is that a word?). Anyway, the concept is that everyone in the forum write diary entries with something to do about themselves. It is a collection of diary entries of different people.

    January (preferrably no date mentioned), 2002

    Today was my birthday. My uncle and cousin and their families came over. I got some presents, but I don't feel anything when I receive those presents. Maybe at this age, you don't feel very excited about getting presents. I wasn't in the mood of celebrating, even if it was my birthday. Last year of high school and I don't know what to expect. I guess the adults have already expected us to be very mature, or sensible or responsible or anything like that. I think I am growing up, but I still feel like a kid. Or at least, I want to be.

    I was sitting at the window early this evening. I always do because the view outside makes me think, makes me calm. I can see the full moon, bright, hanging from the sky. No clouds but the atmosphere seemed dark. Overshadowing the world. With the recent events that have happened around the world, I am in no mood of celebrating my birthday. I now know that the world would not stop for you or for anyone person. Maybe it will for the world. Maybe it won't.

    In about a month time, school will start and I would have to face one of life's hardest decisions. What will my future hold? What to do after school? I can't seem to face school. Not now. I am not ready.

    Best Wishes.

    I guess you could. However, please try to retain the entries to one year that you are writing about.

    Dear diary,

    Wow! Its 3 am and I can't sleep. I was really tire earlier but something had struck me and kept me awake.

    I've always thought that my life suck because my family is poor and I have to help them out by going to work in my early teen years. Not only I have to struggle throught helping my family but I also struggle to pass high school where all the bad influences try to get me.

    But life has been pretty good to me. I made it through high school alive when I know there are times that my life was on the edge. Now I have a decent job. But the main reason why I think life has been good to me is that I get to meet this special person. My whole perspective of life is suck has changed. But sometime, it seems like life likes to play with me. It lets me meet this wonderful person but it seems like life doesn't want us to be together. Could it be a test?

    Today, I was really eager and excited to talk on the phone to this special person. Again, life just like to play with me because this person doesn't seem like interested in talking to me. This person was waiting and wanting to talk to someone else. I was really sad to hang up. Hoping that person would call me back and talk to me...but it didn't happen. Even though I was mad but deep down inside I was happy. Happy that the person didn't lie to me.

    Diary, Am I a fool? I watched so many chinese series and see many scene about guys being confuse and I pity them. Now I'm sitting here listening to 'xin tai ruan' by richie ren and thinking about am I one of those guys that I pity in the series. Its 3:40 am now and I still can't sleep. Still hurts. Still sad. Just waiting for tomorrow to come. Maybe life will bring me a new special person or maybe life will continue to play me.

    Dear Diary,
    Today I had a great time with someone I cherish dearly.
    We went to the movie... and hang out at the park... he took me iceskating and it was soooooo much fun.
    But I don't know why I feel sum wat weird... My heart has always been focussing on one direction. But my process of reaching that direction has lead to many many problems. I'm really tired. I don't know.. Maybe because i know that wat I did to a certain someone is ominous and i don't know how to fix it. ANd at one time I try to change to maybe accept that other person... but the more i talk to him the more I realize that i don't want to hurt him and i don't want to lie to myself anymore....
    I want that person to know... if he's reading this... that again accept my apology.And that I would really like to stay friend with him. SO please give me an answer...

    Dear Life...

    Sorry HoNam.. I was going to do this.. but now I finally get to do it.

    Dear Diary,

    I have heard the saddest news recently.
    My friend told me that the guy I used to go out with hates me now. The resean being is, of course, I made distance from him. I know he is a good guy, and he is a very very warm hearted person. But when he left me for another woman, he lost me forever. I told my friend that I do not want to be involved with him anymore. I am kinda person who gets very emotional after the break up, and I sit in the limbo for couple of months and move on later. When I was in limbo of emotions, he chosed to go back to his fiancee. Now, dear diary, can you imagine the pain I went through..... now I heard from my friend saying... he has never seen this guy that happy in his 14 years of friendship... he was that happy with me... then... I have a question, Why did he choose to go back to her? Now his ex fiancee dumped him and married to another guy. So, he is going through the emotional mambo by himself. I thought about being nice to him again... and focus on friendship with him, but apparently, his feelings for me, was too strong, and he wants to keep inside forever, as a special thing. I guess I lost my friendship as well.

    I feel sorry for him, I want to cheer him up (I am too nice to people I care about)... but I know it will only harm him... he will misunderstand my intention of being nice.

    But I hope he does know that he once was a very special person in my life... And when he left me, he lost my love for him forever.

    *sigh*... sometimes, I think the relationship is the hardest thing to deal with. My only hope was being friends with him, but I guess his love for me was deeper than anybodyelse thought.
    Please email me with questions. Do not use PM here.

    Interesting idea....


    Dear Diary,

    I've been so bored lately that I'm losing interest in everything. There's hardly anything that can keep my attention for long, and I'm dying (not literally) from lack of things to do. Everything's been slow and down lately, and there's nothing fun...

    *mopes around*
    I'm an "angel on the battlefield of love." *laughs* How ironic...
