We all come to a point in our lives where things become a routine. I am in that phase. There’s now a pattern as to how my days go and the stuff that happen are not something you can write a good story from. Or, like right now, I’m not as inspired to write (this is why I’m not a writer and why I admire writers) as I used to be. Back when I was still actively blogging, I always looked forward to writing about my days to the point where my friends would tell me “O picture tayo, isama mo sa blog mo ha!” That was so cute.

I’ve always been open here. People see my face and I don’t use fake names. Anyone who has a crush on me can back read my posts and will surely know a lot about me and that I have a boyfriend of five years. Then that may stop him or her right there. Hehehe. But seriously, I ran out of interesting stuff to say that even I would get bored when I start to write about them. That explains the quietness.

But I’ve tweeted last week I’m going back to blogging. What happened? Well, nothing major major. Hehe. I just realized that if I have an uninteresting life, I can’t make it better by just hiding underneath that uninteresting label I’ve put on myself. I was good at this before. I remember having regular readers (na hindi naman karamihan) who would post comments on the chat box – look at how quiet it is now. Nakakalungkot. So yes, I’m coming back. Wooooohooooo!

Since I’ve recently been soooo active with Twitter, I discovered how very easy it is to be updated with the latest about people. Even grocery shopping gets talked about like hot gossip as if you have people actually doing the rounds with you. It’s much better than Facebook statuses. SPMF, please make one or make your accounts active. Tell me your account names.

My latest tweets are displayed at the bottom part of this blog.

I’m really enjoying my new phone. I found a WordPress application for Blackberry and it’s so amazing how easy it is to use. Of course it won’t be easy uploading pictures but quick blogs like this can be done on the go. Now boring days with no PC to use for blogging is solved. Love it!

I have lots of holiday pics I want to post but the pictures are so many I still need to select the best ones. I know Liezel and Bhu are waiting for them – I promise to put them here Plus I’ve got November events that I wish to post as well. Maybe they’ll come in one entry since they’re already overdue. Haaaay… Even in blogging I’m always half-baked. Hehe. But that’s one of my new year’s resolutions! Now I have to give my 100%! *cue Mariah: “so go on and put your ones up!”*

When you blog and you show your face, you risk receiving judgment and personal attacks for your opinions. And when you meet people who you know regularly read your blog, you can’t help wondering about their thoughts regarding entries that may affect them. And if you’re a weak blogger like me, you compromise your desire to express and have an empty blog to protect your relationship with those people.

That explains my hiatus. The paranoia of knowing who reads my blog got to me so I chose not to write instead of discussing issues I have that may offend some people indirectly.

But then again, this is my blog and I bought a fucking domain for it! What’s the point of years of effort maintaining this blog if I’ll let what others say affect what I write here. So starting today, I’ll go back to writing whatever I feel should be here.

OMG! Ideas are starting to flow about my recent trips to certain places. Hahaha! But for now I’ll stop here. I had a long night at work and I need to wrap things up so I can go home.

There are a lot of social networking sites that you can use to know the latest stuff about your friends. Relatively, one is better than the other. I prefer Facebook despite of its controversial Terms of Agreement – it’s easy to use, you can do lots of things with it, and it’s very easy to interact with your friends about anything you put up in it. But aside from Facebook, another favorite is Twitter. You know why? Mainly because lots of celebrities that I like personally use Twitter and you can follow their updates with just a click! Hehe.

I am a Mariah Carey fan (I even topped the Know-It-All quiz global scores in Facebook about Mariah) and it’s nice to know stuff about her personally from her. Yes. She tweets everyday! I know it’s her because she tells stuff before it hits the gossip sites. The other people I follow on Twitter are Oprah Winfrey, Pete Wentz, Ellen DeGenres, Agyness Deyn and Perez Hilton. I wish Luke Worrall goes on Twitter soon!

Another reason why I like Twitter is because this blog layout I’m using now has a Twitter plugin that displays my tweets at the bottom of the page. Look below and you’ll see the latest stuff about me. I update it whenever I go online. It’s fun because I get to say things, display them here and I don’t even have to write a blog-entry’s worth of thought. It just serves the purpose of getting random ideas across very very quickly. Hehe. So more or less, this blog may get stuck for a couple of days but the tweets below are updated more than twice everyday. I like!

So right now, as per my tweet, I’m gonna take a shower and go to sleep. I wanna go to work before 11AM starting tomorrow. Tweet on!

I spent all night monitoring emails and tweaking this new layout I found. The previous one was so buggy sayang I love its carousel pa naman. This one’s cute too and its carousel isn’t that bad. The only problem is the pictures aren’t showing up! I don’t know why. I can’t spend another hour finding out – I need some sleep. Check out the video – it’s hilarious! EQ, my good friend from WELS, showed me this when I was still teaching there. Grabe I love it.

It’s Black Saturday and I stayed home for the past two days. I guess I’m gonna do some religious stuff later – maybe I’ll take Piglet to the church with me. He’s been being too religious lately and I’m not used to it. It’s starting to freak me out. But it’s good. Anyway… I’m rambling again – lack of sleep. This post is just a filler and a disclaimer on the malfunctioning components of this layout. Haha!

I’m going to sleep. Oh! And Carlo, did you see the DTC summer post? It’s almost entirely about you. Mas madami ka pa yata pictures sakin. Hehe. I’ll check nga if you’re done with it in Multiply. It’s been a week – you’ll lose momentum na.

I like change – it’s the one thing you’ll always be interested in doing.

I found this amazing layout and it’s really cool! It’s not boring. But it’s  buggy and I’m still trying to fix them but all the features that I like are working fine so it’s okay. Last night I went home as quickly as I could to be with Piglet. And it was the first Friday night, in a very long time, that I did not spend in the office. Piglet went to Bacolod this morning so I had to compensate for the times we’re going to miss each other. Hehe. He wants to take a long break and I hope he gets the happiness and relaxation that he needs so when he gets back here, he’ll be ready to work again.

Later I’ll go out with the gang to celebrate Lhen’s birthday. There’ll be just four of us, I think, because the others have gone abroad so it won’t be as happy but we’ll have a good time for sure. And OH! I’m talking to Gilbert now – I’m happy for you pare and I hope she’s the one you’ve been waiting for. I wish to meet her soon.

I’ll go back to tweaking this stuff.

Spent the entire evening figuring out what to do with the new layout. I found this site http://www.jauhari.net/ and he gives free themes — thank you!! — (yeah yeah I never had the chance to resume studying PHP so goodbye to creating my own) so here’s a clean one that I like. I will still make more modifications later. All night, I tried to create the perfect banner only to end up with that (above) – which would normally take less than 15 minutes to make. It’s supposed to also show the lower half of my face but something weird’s happening. I’ve edited the stylesheet but the browser’s still loading the old one. I dont’ know what other cache I should clear to make the changes appear. Haaay… I better sleep.

I want to give a shoutout to the two traffic police in Emerald Avenue last Saturday morning . Thank you and we appreciate the gesture.

A stupid cab driver refused to give us a ride home that morning unless we pay extra 40 pesos. He was so greedy and he was wearing a dirty sando which I knew was improper. Based on his appearance, you’d expect such rudeness from him so I declined and closed the door. A few meters beside us were two traffic police on their bikes talking. One saw me close the door and I gestured that the driver refused us. He got the message and after a few seconds, they went off to follow the cab. Less than a minute after, we hailed a new cab and then passed by the stupid cab driver who was stopped by the two traffic police at the intersection of Emerald Avenue and Julia Vargas. I hope he got a good spankin’ and learned a lesson. I wasn’t able to say or signal thanks to the two guys. Thanks a lot! We need people like you to protect us.
