Day After Yesterday

After two months of having a media fast, I am living “the normal life” again. I used to be a media dependent. I used to think that I couldn’t live a good and sane life without television, radio, newspapers and magazines. PBA has always been the strongest link between media and anNa. But life is dynamic, though I still love PBA, Ginebra and Mark, I have realized that I can still get information, and have the same excitement, about them. How? Communication! Yep, communication. The idea of media fasting was first introduced to me when I was still having “the” acting workshop, ActNow Worksop of Sir Jourdan. I thought it’s impossible for me to do it. Though I clearly understand its objective, I used to say that it’s still impossible. But it’s not. I consider my first try of it as a very rocky one. I had a hard time, really hard. But I was able to survive! It lasted for almost two months then I had a long break. After a month, I started fasting again. Fasting is sweeter the second time around. But somehow it has to reach the end of the road ... and I end it NOW! c”,) Though I have made myself forget the past, my addiction, I still think it’s nice to experience it again! Oh yes! But I have to say, or forever hold my peace, that I didn’t stop watching news programs. I have admitted a long time ago that I could never do that... not yet, definitely not now.
Media fasting made me see things in a different light. Naks! Aside from “artistic/idealistic” benefits of it, it made me a better individual in the eyes of my family and friends! I have spent not just long time but quality time with them. Sarap!
