Diaries

Getting bored here. Just to share some of my insights to you about diaries and blogs.

I, myself, is a diarist.

Diaries totally rocks my sox. Keeping one totally helps me write down my thoughts and things that I needed to do. Your life is written on it. The fun part for me is that, when I get old - at least I have the chance to read and recall all the precious memories I had when I was in my younger years.


Some people who I can associate with diaries.

There's Anne Frank diary, which became a classic novel. Set up during the World War II, this diary truly reflects her life, as how she experienced discrimination as a Jew (Back then, Jews have to wear something like a star) to concentration camps. It was because of her diary that I was inspired to study World War II. Good thing, Otto Frank published her diary, or else I won't get the chance to read her love life (joke); I mean how life was difficult back then under the rule of Adolf Hitler.

How about considering the diary of Dr. Jose Rizal? Boy, I'm so proud of being a Filipino.

Because he always writes, he was able to have lots of diaries - volumes of them. Maybe that's why his biography and experiences were rich compared to other biographies of some Filipino heroes. I don't know anything about his diaries, but I get a feeling that his feelings, emotions, and knowledgeable thoughts are written on those pages.

  How about this diary? The diary of a princess.. Too complicated for me to explain. It will be much better to watch the movie and/or read the books written by Meg Cabot.

BACK TO ME
I started keeping one when my bestfriend gave me a diary with a lock. I saw her one writing in one when we were in Grade 2, and attempted to read what she was writing. Unfortunately, she caught me.

I know she loves me, that's why she gave me one of her unused diaries. Awww.

I went on hiatus then, and returned when I was in Grade 5. But it wasn't that serious. A couple of years later, still in the habit in writing one - becoming more serious as every year passes by.

Right now, I don't possess a diary anymore. I have a prayer journal, in which I talk to God using my notebooks. Instead of Dear Diary, it's now, Dear Yeshuah/Jesus or any name that I can associate with Him. It made me feel more personal.
