First APLlogy

Greetings from the East!

For those who have read/seen/heard of my last blog page at Tumblr as Makeagoodexcuse, hello again! And for those who happened to be new, welcome!

So a few months ago, I decided that I wanted to redirect my blog to something more informative, entertaining, and worth reading.  I’ve had so many other Tumblr accounts for the past 7 years, and my longest running blog was my last one which I used for 4 years. I launched it back when I was in senior high school, I was actually just a few months before graduating at that time and it became my main blog till I finally graduated college last May 2017.

Makeagoodexcuse.tumblr.com has been home for me, it had all my college memories and it has every bit of my life published there so naturally I feel nostalgic and sentimental about having to let it go today. But like the saying goes when one door closes, another door opens (or something like that).

My blog redirection process includes more than what's written on it, I decided that if I was to redirect my way of blogging, I must and I shall do a complete overhaul, which in marketing terms you could call "re-branding."

The reason behind this new page is that I want to be able to enhance my writing skills by giving more life to the contents of my future blogs. I love telling stories and I love sharing my experiences to people, in fact, that’s the reason why I even started my own blog in the first place, and this is just a new space for me to do all that, only with better grammar and more sense.  

So welcome to APLlogy! Where I will try my best to post a blog at least once a week, it may be about my personal experiences, spoken word poetry, travel (Whenever I get the chance to travel), Movie & TV Show Reviews, and pretty much anything under the sun. To stick to my  tradition I will still be accepting requests, suggestions, comments, and violent reactions for any posts at any point in time, and since I am not familiar with this blogsite, it’s best to leave all your messages at my new ask.fm account, ask.fm/APLlogy.

Thank you for your time and again, Welcome to APLlogy, where an APL a day keeps the doctor away (not really, but yeah)!

Instant Gratification vs. Delayed Gratification

The first day I stared at this particular blank page with this particular topic was around September of 2018. I learned about instant gratification and delayed gratification when I was in college and it followed me from there. I don't really remember what my former professor was discussing at the time, but the words delayed  and gratification  stuck to me like a leech. I realized then and there how most of us in the  millennial  generation is all about instant gratification. But being part of this generation, I do understand why... given all the technology available for us to use. Then again, I sometimes wish I wasn't given much luxury growing up. No, my family is not well off, not then, and not now. But like many middle-class families, we get to taste a few luxuries every now and then. Meaning, I was never deprived of anything, and though I never got the latest phones or tablets, I never felt like I was missing out. What I'm trying to say is that I wish I was born...

Underrated Music Playlist

There are millions of great music from different artists and genres. Granted that everyone has a different taste when it comes to music, there are still many great songs that have remained so underrated that most of them don't even appear on Spotify or Apple music. Now, I know what you're thinking, these songs are probably by unknown artists. You're not wrong, what I am about to list down may have been written by artists you've never heard before. But there will be some that are written and performed by popular artists today. Before I gave you the list, I  just want to share why I thought about blogging about this. You see, right now, I'm at work and had just finished my day's quota. I was searching on Apple music for some old songs that I loved listening to growing up and I got extremely disappointed not finding a thing. I ended up listening on Youtube using my work PC instead. Anyway, without further ado here's my  Underrated Music Playlist . (p.s. mos...

Home

I'm home! I never really left, but for the first time in a long time, I was reminded again of how it felt like to be home. I still remember the first time we had a real physical encounter. It was one of those days when I didn't know why I was there but I was. She was beautiful and we had a great time, me, her and a few other people. I would've "made a move" if I hadn't embarrassed myself by getting way too drunk, but then again, I have always been a believer of timing, and I know that whatever happened, happened for a reason. After a year, I purposely made our paths cross again not knowing where it would lead me. The timing? It was perfect because after many years I finally got rid of all my baggage from my past. It was that point in my life where I knew I've truly moved on from every bit of pain. I learned how to accept myself better, I realized my actual worth and I've finally convinced myself that I deserved more than what I had to go throug...
