Hello from the small town girl in the big city!For the longest time, I have been planning to open up a blog. And I had so many excuses too. I used to write, a lot... In my diary, in school, in my computer or just about anywhere possible (Though I don't vandalize. Heh) I used to write for the school paper, for writing competitions until the writing has been just for academic essays, homework, projects and for subject-related papers that required me to write. Writing was an essential part of me until I was carried away in world where words were nothing but empty meanings... Ever since, I only had two pen names that I usually use when I was writing during my grade school and high school days, - Masked Escapist and Poisoned Pen. In college, I plainly use "Monica Lerit", which was for me - too formal and boring. When I started fixing this blog, I decided to use the plain, boring - Monica Lerit in my domain name. Just because it's easy to remember and it's short. Deciding my blog name took a while, I wanted to use Masked Escapist - which significant to me, I was once fascinated with masks and escapist meaning a dreamer. Then I realized, that it was the kid in me - someone who was hiding in her words, someone who was too afraid what would people think with what she writes. And then, there was Poisoned Pen, which was inspired by the very popular "The pen is mightier than the sword", but it somehow denotes negativity.. Maybe that time, I was really thinking how powerful the pen was, what you write can cause pain to someone or it can affect the thought of the reader. It really is until now, that's why people are often bashed online because of their posts against an issue or being praised because of their well-written and relatable post. I originally wanted DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE, which is one of my favorite phrases which means "Into the unknown adventure" just like in Alice in Wonderland, this blog is all about that - I don't know what will happen after having this but I know it's going to be one hell-of adventure. BUT... The blog site name was taken so nevermind. Meh. And now, welcome to the blog of a SMALL TOWN GIRL IN THE BIG CITY! Simple, short, sweet and true. Genuine from the very start - and that's how I want this blog to be. Genuine thoughts into words. Simple as that. Taking baby steps in this blog... And I'm not complaining. I'm happy I'm back and I hope you are too! I want to share with you my thoughts about life, food, books, places and just about anything I could write about. Here's to to great beginnings, Cheers! xoxo, M
