I am trying to get my blogging groove back.
This whole blogversary thing is keeping me too preoccupied for comfort
My loyal readers are crying out for blood
They too want me to bring back the humor in my blog
Unfortunately my brain is like porridge of late
There simply is nothing up there
Well, nothing FUNNY, that is
And to think I’m basically a happy person
Even when I’m emo I can find ways to laugh about it
I can even BLOG about it
But this time it’s different
And a close friend summed it all up for me
MID-LIFE CRISIS
I argued that I went through that seven years ago
This bitch of a friend just said:
“Sometimes it comes back – with a bigger bang!”
That’s when I realized how potent emotions can be
And only the strong-willed can survived
Well, tough luck!
I’ve been playing hardball with my emotions for so long
I can’t even remember not feeling at all
In the past, I just moved on and survived
This time, it’s different
It’s a whole new world for me
I can’t even describe this mishmash of emotions deep inside
Although, there’s this urgency to fix things up
And yet there’s this gnawing sense of uncertainty that holds me back
It’s like being in a state of suspended animation
I don’t like this feeling anymore
I just want my groove back
I just want my smile back
I just want ME back
Is that too much to ask?

It’s a phase, GF. And you’ll conquer it with flying colors. Because you are made of much sterner stuff.

It’s alright…everything will be fine…whatever it is, I know and you knew its happening for a good reason. Isn’t it? hehehe…God Bless sir Orman!

Ormz, kung kaya ko lang na i-hug ka, hinug na kita. Kaya lang, leeg mo lang ang abot ng arms ko. Pero pag sa leeg, baka ma-sophisticate ka, kaya shake hands na lang ha.

HI Orman, you’re not alone in that experience. All people experience that kaso lang ang iba ang palagi in denial. Don’t worry, this shall pass.
Kung sa babae pa, we usually have this when before monthly periods and as we near midlife mas lalong ma feel ang pagka emo and no pill can fix it. But if one tries hard, it’s the attitude and state of mind that can get one out from it.
Hugsss all the way from Iligan. I hope you feel better now that you have it out in words.

It’s a normal feeling after hurdling a lot of challenges the past few days: the Sto. Nino 17th Anniversary, your additional branches proposal, the initial 2 week anniversary contests…. which all went well.
Now the feeling is, what more challenges are there and seeing that there are none in the horizon, boredom sets in.
You just need to go back to exercising and feeling better again. When your uber fat body feels miserable… your emotions go along with it.
I should know. My condition was much worse. Altho still recuperating, i am slowly regaining my old self thru the regular early morning walks I do.
In other words, all these shall pass as long as YOU MOVE YOUR ASS, sis!
MOVE IT! MOVE IT!
p.s. (EMO TIME)
i just wanna say this in public: THANKS FOR FOOTING MY HOSPITAL BILL. You made me realize EVEN MORE that I am very much blessed to have you as a brother and I wouldn’t exchange you for anything else in this world. Kahit na si Aljur Abrenica pa (whom we’re meeting this pm). Hehehe!

Not much to ask Orms, it’s your will, and you’re in control. You get your groove back WHEN you want it back. Peace!

Hope you get out of that rut soon!
Hugz!

God has created you stern because he knows that when bigger challenges are there, you can come out of it with a smile on your face. Cheer up, we’re here for you!
June 24th, 2010 at 9:33 AM
Orms, here’s my secret… I just let things be and I pre-occupy myself with other things. You’ll eventually get back your blogging mojo.
*HUG*

that’s life…at least we are pretty sure we have emotions hehe…
i always see u as a happy,intelligent, fun -loving person…

Orms, we all do feel that way often, after a long stretch blogging frenzy, when you felt you blogged everything your wits out. Then you suddenly felt theres nothing left to blog anymore, or the feeling or such agony. I don’t know how to call it (anu nga ba?). The good thing is its temporary and while you are at it, might as well blog about it. Write -up din yun, and see how so many attentions are held (like me commenting now). You’re a real, kind hearted person, and there’s so many blessings you can enjoy in the meantime. You’ll get you’re groove back..as always

guess you now realize that you are not alone in that emo stage, we just have to cope, innovate, and rise above this, hormonal changes/midlife crisis or whatever this thing is… you will definitely get ur groove back, promise!!!
June 24th, 2010 at 3:00 PM
there was a movie years back called, “how stella got her groove back”… sana ganu’n ka rin… keep this blog going, Sir Ormz… i’m sure that you make people enjoy their day a bit more with your words… and i know that this can be your outlet as well… once you get things going again, tell us about it… gawa ka ng entry entitled, “how orman got his groove back”… hehehe… cheers!!!

Mmmmmm… If I may given the chance to convey my opinion on this. I guess there are times that even if we wanted to do things we just cant. Despite our desire to make ourselves happy, we just cant. Its like our eyes would want to sleep but our minds are wide awake. All this just come at any point in our lives so i guess we have to welcome it and let it pass, anyway we can go back to who we really are after that feeling vanishes.

Instead saying,
“God, i have a big life-crisis..”
Start saying,
“life-crisis, i have a big God!”
Cheers!

Orman, you’re loved. That alone should help bring your groove back. You’re a generous brother, a respected leader and someone that everyone just wants to be around with. I was one of the lucky ones who got to see that during my brief stay in GenSan. We all go through a crisis and no matter how uplifting our words may be, I know that deep inside you, you will still have that certain confusion…numbness even. Just pray. Believe me, it works wonders.
