White Noise

I used to call my blog as "Ilantad ang Katotohanan" because I want to tell the truth about myself. "Paglalantad" in the Philippine vernacular is sometimes (or is it usually?) associated with gays coming out of the closet. And that's what I was when I started the blog, someone peeking out of the closet, taking a look at what the world has to offer and showing the world what I have to offer. But now I'm almost fully out. Only a few relatives left to come out to. So the blog's title does not seem to be appropriate since no personal truths have to be revealed anymore. When I decided to stop blogging, I just used the title "This Blog is Closed." Now, I re-opened the blog because I want to write again. And like what I have said in my previous post, I have no idea on what the focus of this new blog will be. And then I realized that I don't have to focus on any one particular thing. I should continue what I was doing before, which is writing passionately about whatever comes to my mind. True, the blog will not have one definite topic but at least I won't be constricted with what I can write.

Now that I know I'm going to be writing about anything under the sun (again!), I started thinking of a name for the blog that reflects this. And out of nowhere, I suddenly thought of "White Noise." For those who do not know what white noise is, there's this interesting article from How Stuff Works about the nature of white noise. The reason I chose this title is because if I'm going to be writing about any topic, then that would be like white noise wherein the readers will have a hard time deciphering what my blog's focus is.

So there... I have decided to start writing again. I have an apt title for the blog. Now comes the hard part: actually writing something. True, I can write about some shitty topic but I don't want the writing itself to be shitty. So I'm setting these goals for my future posts: (1) Write in English only. (2) If I can't write more than five sentences about a certain topic, I will not post that. (3) If I start writing something in the vein of "I am rambling" or "I have no idea what I'm talking about," I will not post that as well.

I guess I'll keep it at that...
