ESL Blogs

I just now noticed that Bianca is not around here in EC anymore.  Suddenly, her comment on my blog is gone. Nadira had mentioned earlier that some guys were bothering Bianca in the chat room few days ago.  I'm not exactly sure what that meant...it could be the reason why she left.  All I know is that everyone is starting to notice her absence.

To be frank, I have not been especially friendly with Bia in the beginning.  I've had grudges against her in the past for kicking a friend of mine out of EC, whom I must admit has been a pain in the rear also, but at the same time helped a lot in keeping the chat room alive.  I thought Bia was very inconsiderate for initiating such a thing and that she was feeling important in the chat room.  But just like what that silly Champ implied to me when we were talking about Bia in the chat room today, "Jealous?"

Such a knucklehead, Champ! But no, no jealousy or any of that sort from me.  Bia and I just had a misunderstanding, that's all.  And I felt like I began to know Bia a little as I stumbled upon her comments on other people's blogs.  Then I started to realize, we have a lot in common...and I felt like somehow I can relate to her and I can understand what kind of person she is.

I won't forget the one and only comment she made on my birthday blog (which is now gone) not too long ago.  She was wondering whether her EC friends will also remember her when she's gone.  She said this because I've been away from EC for quite some time. Nevertheless, the friends I've left behind were still the same friends whom I've found upon my return...who have missed me and welcomed me sincerely.

It may be funny to think that this is just an English Club...a chat room...nonsense chats with a bunch of strangers in a virtual world.  However, everyday we keep coming back.  By and by we get attached to each other with our silly jokes, childish fights, senseless flirts, stupid teasing, and anything else you may wanna add.  For the longest time I've been here, I realized one thing.  That those people whom I have offended or have offended me in the chat room for any reason, were also the same people I giggled with and laughed my heart out in the end.  It may not be the case for everyone, but I bet it is for others like me.

I believe that everyone who knows Bia well will understand why I called this blog, "Missing the Swan".  I just hope to see this swan again faring in the EC chat room soon.  I personally am not missing her screams in the room but I have enjoyed our chats with each other.  I'm sure her friends are also missing her since she is sweet, thoughtful and sharp.  It's a hypocrisy to say that Bia and I are close friends and I don't intend to pretend that we are.  But that's not the point why I decided to write this blog.  Honestly, it's nothing personal.  Somehow, I just felt that our Swan is worth writing about.
