INTRODUCTION

Before December begins, I should have used all my vacation days from work. It was the last two weeks of November. Usually, I spend my vacation in the overseas, but this year, I opted for a domestic trip with Frances.

I did not plan the trip ahead of time like I usually do things. Planning a trip most of the time does not work for me because things happen in between. I’ve been irking to go south this time, especially to Texas. It has been in the back of my head. Only financial burden and fear was pinning me down. That’s another thing why I don’t plan my trips; I get over the fear. So during the weekend when I picked up Frances from the airport (she came from Las Vegas, but originally from Vancouver, BC) I was thinking about the trip while driving. From there, I decided to do it. Face the music later. (more…)

I confess that each of my entry has grammatical errors and most of them are fragments. I can’t fix them because I’m too lazy to be technical and I’m very bad with fragments.

However, that does not stop me from criticizing other people. It really annoys me that people are writing just for the sake of writing in English. They don’t concern themselves of the correctness. I know a cocky bastard has said that every time he posts an entry, he has two or three people read his draft first. You don’t have to go that far, but at least be aware of the basic — spelling, tenses, and plurality. TV and music can be dangerous on the latter because Ebonics does not follow correct plurality.

If you are blogging, if you can’t properly use the basic grammar, then I suggest you write in your natural language or proofread before you publish. I’m easily disturbed when I’m reading a piece with incorrect grammar. I feel like editing everything before reading it again.
