I must admit... judging a story-creation contest was daunting. The participants were wayyy younger than me, but I was intimidated. They had more guts, and creative juices than I do. LOL! So as a challenge to myself, and to whoever is interested... I am joining the TaleCraft Fantasy Valentine Contest. YEY! Booo.... I am sooo not going to win! TaleCraft is a card game invented by Davaoeña Ria Lu. It is composed of 68 playing cards. There are 3 kinds of cards: genre, character, keyword. Some keyword cards may contain a plotline. Each player will pick one genre card, two character cards, and 6 keyword/plotline cards, and within five minutes, craft and tell a story weaving the nine cards together. Cool huh? Also very scary! Anyway... I am joining the contest. I MIGHT post my entry, or not... It really depends on how content I am with myself. Right now, I really don't know how or where to start. Good luck to me and the rest of the participants!

I AM Part of People Power 2
I was only four years old during People Power 1 but I distinctly remember watching it on TV. I don't remember much of it though and I didn't understand what it meant. January 17, 2001, I slept through the impeachment proceedings as I was tired from school and from doing my homework. I was actually answering my Math 21 homework when I fell asleep. I set my alarm for 1 am thinking ABS-CBN would be replaying the impeachment proceedings. When I woke up, there was no replay. Rather, there was live footage of people starting to gather at EDSA. That same day, January 18, 2001, I went to school but didn't attend my afternoon classes. Together with three of my friends, we rode the bus that the student council provided and went to EDSA to join the crowd. We went home around 10 pm. January 19, 2001, I returned to EDSA with my cousin Tinky. We stayed there for a while but had to go to my cousin's condo sometime in the afternoon because she was tired. We walked from EDSA to Annapolis Street. In the evening, we went back with another cousin, Kuya David. We only stayed for a…
The History of RiaJose.com
Before RiaJose.com, there was Ria Interactive... It used to be http://riajose.cjb.net... I don't know what happened. I made this site under the mentorship of the great Kuya Andrew who taught me how to manipulate images using Adobe Photoshop and make websites using tadaaa... Macromedia Dreamweaver. LOL! I was in first year college then and very much bored with my life. It started as a website for me and my high school batchmates and evolved into a site about everything that caught my fancy. Notice the sections for entertainment, news, opinion, and advice which have now evolved into niche blogs. The website was last updated in May 2000. Then, while on leave of absence sometime very late 2002, I created RIA{lity} Bites... I made this using Microsoft Frontpage (I know... EW!) and Adobe Photoshop. LOL! It was last updated in November 2003. This then evolved into my very personal blog in LiveJournal. Kuya Andrew read it and made me my first niche blog. Shortly, after... I started more niche blogs and I now have 11 blogs.
All I Want
There are times such as this one when I envy other people. I don't like who they are, what they do, what they have... but I want to be them because they are happy. Despite who they are, and what they do, they enjoy themselves and have people, who, for certain, accept and love them no matter what. I guess that's what I really want, all I need, what I should aim for 2008, be happy no matter what. I know it's a long shot. And I am finding it hard to choose to be happy right now. But there must be some way that I can finally stop being jealous of people I don't even like with lives and morals I do not want.
Appreciation and Criticism
I know I've made a lot of mistakes and did a lot of things wrong. But I know deep in my heart, I did everything I was supposed to do and on some occasions, even exceed what was required of me. I never asked for anything in return. I do not expect a thank you or a pat on the back because I know I had to do it. Sana lang hindi puro pagkakamali ang mapuna, hindi puro kakulangan ang mapansin, hindi puro negatibo ang masabi. Because I know, despite everything I did wrong, I also did a lot of things right.
