Welcome back

I've been tossing the idea of starting a new blog for quite some time now, and I guess this is step one.

I rediscovered this ol' blog of mine when I was thinking of a name for it and came up dry. I wasn't supposed to remember making this since I barely used it before, but my neurons pulsated with the memory that I had this corner of cyberspace riddled with dust and cobwebs. I read and cringed at the content that I posted. I was even a bit embarrassed to show it to my boyfriend at first but after a few screenies, he managed to find it on Google. Watta detective ugh.   

It has been 5 years since.

I was fourteen then. 

I was in 2nd year high school (methinks) when this blog came along.  It was 2008 when there was news that China was exporting formula milk with, you've guessed it, melamine; hence, the name. Until now, I think that choice was clever, so now I'm sticking with it. But now I've reaffirmed the universal law of adolescence: that no matter what you do before you're 18,  you'll feel cool and brainy at the moment and realize how much of a wimp you are years later. Just like any abashed early adult, I've deleted all the icky stupid ones and kept the witty brainy ones that I think are ok to somewhat represent who I am now.

Now, I'm 19. I'm in college already and I think that I've matured quite a bit. My opinions have evolved.  My likes and dislikes somewhat differ from those that I did years back. Life had armed me with an array of experiences that separates me from being Toney-the-self-important-fourteen-year-old and Toney-the-snarky-nineteen-year-old. 

So, to everyone that had ended up here (yes, all three of you whom I sent links to), welcome back. I bet most (all?) of you didn't even know that this gunk existed in the first place and that's fine. This blog is like a second cousin you've "met" when you were just three months old and moved to Antartica and came back just a week ago telling you how much she missed you and can't wait to catch up again and you have no idea who the flipping hell she was. 

Unlike the common blog themes of people my age, this wouldn't be a fashion blog LOL. I intend this to be a documentation of my constant ramblings about the world surrounding me and the advocacies, movements and everything else in between that I'm passionate about. So inshort, I'd be offering the world my two cents. Nothing special. But I guess I'll be making sure to keep it worthwhile and fun. Even if I've grown up, I don't think that I've lost my humor yet, ya know. 

Well, we'll see...

Toney.
