30 August 2008: It's been 10 days since my last entry. I haven't recorded the last 10 days and the 10 people in them because this blog has come to resemble a shallow diary now and I don't want to have a flat daily record of my life, focusing on only people I get to know. Yet I will write, from time to time. Shame, if this decision will keep me from making a success story in time, as if I was interested in making one.

Now, is time for an evaluation.

I have reached the inertia that I aimed to reach, in 20 days:

Broke a few self-chains.

Had a glimpse of strangers' lives, and looked closer at not-so-strangers' I had met before.

Took risks. Believe me, approaching strangers in this part of the world is a high risk for my gender. I don't know how long I can keep this going without mastering martial arts or carrying something lethal.

Created a few bonds. Well, some were redundant, they didn't make me realize anything new. Yet some colored my day, making me feel a lot warmer inside. I have nominated them as prospective good-friends of mine and booked them airseats on my future far from the exit doors.

The best part was the second option: calling up/IM'ing people I lost contact with. I am a person who burns the bridges too easily so I had a lot of people to call. I still do.

The worst part was the third option. I know everything about my close friends so it's no use trying to learn secrets. I already know them all.

That's it for now. I'll see you soon. Promise.
