the stuff that you are going to read on this blog would not just be about myself and this is not a repository of my junk thoughts.

i plan to make this blog interactive and relevant. this may be a personal blog but i am hoping that through this medium, i am able to reach out and make a difference.

sounds pretty noble, huh?

well, not really. i mean what’s the point of putting myself out there without making a difference? writers write not just because they want to, but because they want to share something for a purpose. and that’s what i am to do: write for a purpose.

people who have read my works before would say that i am a very angry person. and at one point, that’s true. because i used to write about how sad and pathetic my life was and how unfair this world has treated me. but i have realized that although sharing my experiences is an effective tool of communicating, i would have to explore more avenues of inspiration in order for me to grow as a writer.

i have no formal schooling in writing so the entries that you will read are pretty raw and sometimes all over the place. but that is the only way i know how to write.

ultimately, i am writing again because of a selfish reason: for myself. this blog is not intended for mass consumption and eventhough i encourage people to read my blog, i do not expect everyone to agree with me and my views.

so, what can you expect from this blog? well, let me tell you about the categories of each entry so that you’ll get an idea of what this blog is all about:

the adventures of the amazing cofiboi is a lot like my online diary. entries under this category would be all about ME. this is the selfish part of my blog. 🙂

cofi cup is about love. all the mushy stuff would be in this category. so if you’re not into that stuff, you better skip it. or grab a barf bag instead.

i also write about my job and my office, and that’s what paperclip is about. i see my office as one big circus and though not all are freaks, it’s one show that is quite interesting to watch.

the streetwalker chronicles on the other hand, is about places i’ve been to and places i would love to go to. i wanted to be a travel journalist before and it’s not to late to start. 🙂

so there. these are the stuff that i write about. and again, these are my thoughts and my opinions and i really don;t know why i need to have a disclaimer, it’s my blog after all.

cofiboi’s hello

and so i begin again.

it has been a while since i shared my thoughts online. that’s because life and all it’s crazy antics got in the way.

but, here i am again. staring at the blank screen and trying to pry the words out of me dust covered gray matter.

one of the things i hate about writing is figuring out what to write about. sometimes i see inspiraton all around but when i sit down and start to write, words escape me.

but since this is a new blog, and the only people who will read this and would be reading this are those whom i have bullied on friendster, facebook, plurk and twitter, i really don’t think that i need to introduce myself.

but for the you, the stranger who stumbled upon this blog, welcome.

my name is cofiboi. i am just like you: a statistic, a part of a demographic, an employee number, a street walker.

you are reading my thoughts- well my written thoughts at least. these are borne out of the need to ‘unload’ my brain of all the stuff it has accumulated in all the years i have walked this overcrowded planet. no, i am not someone who hates the world. on the contrary, i am in love with it. my thoughts on these pages paint a picture of how i see the world i am in.

you would’t find anything extraordinary here. no celebrity gossip, no over the top political views and there are none of those fancy travel and style articles here. these are just thoughts from someone who has a lot of things to say.

so there, welcome and i hope you enjoy the ride. 🙂
