Turn back the hands of time

There are a lot of things we regret doing or not doing in the past. We all wish we could turn back the hands of time and redo or undo the things we did. Somehow, we think we could have done it better or not done it at all. We wish we could make things right again. We wish we could undo the pain, anguish, hatred, anger and suffering we've caused other people and ourselves. If we made the right choices then we wouldn't be in this predicament right now. Because of it, we now have to live with the consequences of our actions.

But who are we to say that we made the wrong choices then? What if we were meant to go through it —– to learn, to be stronger, to be wiser, to grow? As they say, what is meant to be will always find a way. I know we shouldn't second guess ourselves. What's done is done. It's all in the past. But one way or another, we have to reflect and learn from it. For I firmly believe that if we haven't learned our lesson, we are bound to repeat the same mistakes again…and again…. and again.

Guilty Pleasure

I've just read some blogs of my friends and from netizens whom I have never met. You might ask why do I bother reading blogs from people whom I don't know from Adam. I just find them interesting and intriguing. During the course of my blog hopping, I've encountered different kinds of blog entries.
 

Some are photo blogs. Pictures are posted and sometimes a small caption accompanies it. As the song goes, "… a picture paints a thousand words…".

Another kind of blog is that of the slambook type. The blogger posts fave lyrics of songs, poems, letters, pictures of friends and what have you.

I have also read a blog which I'd like to call an opinion blog. The entries are basically thoughts and the stand of the person on a particular issue. It is like reading an opinion column in a newspaper.

The most common type of entries are journal type blogs. It is like reading someone else's diary but with permission. For me, this is the most entertaining.

This blog reading is fast becoming a guilty pleasure. =oP
