New year, new beginning. It’s really a cliché, why wait for the New Year to change oneself when we have 365 days in a year to adopt small things to better change ourselves. Wait, why change in the 1st place? Does that mean something is wrong? Defective? Not working? We are trained to see ourselves vis-à-vis the general population, our ego needs to be brushed by our peers, thus the popularity of Facebook and the ultimate demise of Friendster. In the old Friendster, you can’t tag your photos or do daily status updates, a way that made Facebook very cool. Imagine, now you can shout to the whole digital world the places you’ve been, the friends you have, the things you have, how’s that for bragging rights?
It’s been a while since I wrote down something on this blog; blame it to the pressure to churn out articles when I was writing for 2 daily broadsheets. Make that past tense, was, since I think I have given up on writing, or maybe the editors have given up on me. Whatever the case, writing is something that one can do anywhere, something similar to prayers. I was lucky I was given the chance to write in dailies, it was financially and creatively rewarding. I have a compilation of all my past articles, and sometimes I can’t help but feel bad for some bad writing of mine. I have no one to blame but my self, churning out articles in less than 10 minutes.
So today, I am resurrecting this blog and write stuff that interests me on a daily basis. I said that I would stuff doing Facebook, such as waste of time actually, and instead, will use my time in more noteworthy endeavors I missed, like reading, watching movies, running, talking long walks, traveling.
Everyone is saying that 2011 is my year, given that I was born under the Year of the Ox, and with the changing of the calendar from Tiger to Rabbit, I can’t hardly wait. Let’ see what this year holds for me
