Mental Block

Have you ever felt that you wanted to write something but as soon as you position yourself infront of the computer/typewriter/paper and pencil, all those things you were thinking just popped in the air?

That is what I am undergoing now. Mental block! Argh! I am like sitting in front of this old computer for an hour and I still can't think of what to type. I am planning to write a composition/article for this very special person in my life right now but I don't know how to start. Crap. I need a memory enhancer!

Anyway, I just got back from La Union. Last Saturday was my uncle's burial. I told myself that I won't cry. But when I threw the white rose I was holding on his grave, my tears kept falling. He died because of lung cancer. My uncle (my mom's older brother) and I are not really close. One thing that I remember before he passed away is when they lived here in our house for a month because he had to undergo chemotherapy in Chinese General Hospital. That was the time that the retake or no retake issue was still sizzling. Looking back on those days he was with us, I can still feel the warmth of his hand while telling me that I should just be patient and soon, everything I have sacrificed and worked hard for will pay off. Thanks Uncle. I have always put that in my mind. I know that you're happy now wherever you are. Thanks again for everything.

Argh. I wish after I post this, I can write that article I have been planning. And I do hope that he would like it. *sigh*

PS
I've noticed that almost everyone's going back to free blog servers.. err.. whatever you call them. Welcome to the club! Hehe!

  2. Every good writer experiences mental block. Just unwind or something, and everything will surely fall into place. :-)

  4. Well I believe that you shouldn't really be forcing yourself to write about something if nothing really comes into your mind at the moment. Just wait a little while and I'm sure you'll be posting a very long entry then. haha!

    Oh, condolence to your uncle. May he rest in peace. +

    and yeah, I moved back to blogger because I thought I couldn't manage the site anymore. Less people are interested in what I write... stuff like that. So might as well save space for Nicole (my hostess before). ;)

  5. Hey just came from candymag.com. I hope you got to write your article now.

    And it's OK to cry when people die. At least you get over them.

    Hope you're doing cool now and take care!

    Cry is natural, if you want to cry, just cry, it really helps! I am really sorry about his death :(
