TWO YEARS OF DORMANCY
I started out this blog almost two years ago. I was full of fire and enthusiasm when I went about doing this undertaking. I even made a promise to myself that I would post a blog daily. I knew how difficult that would be, but I resolved to do it. And for several weeks after opening this blog, I really kept true to my personal commitment. I did not waver in writing in my blog anything that interested me. However, the flame soon slowly ebbed. Perhaps, it was a case of burnt out or of starting out frenetically only to lose steam in the end. So, it happened that from daily blogging, it became more sporadic and intermittent. Then, finally, in December 2006, after more than two months, I totally ceased this activity. There was no formal curtain call. I just stopped. Aside from occasional visit to my blog site, I never again ventured into blogging.
Up until now, that is. A week shy of December 2008, I rediscovered a part of the interest that motivated me to engage in blogging in the first place. Thus, I have once more found myself tapping on the computer keyboard to fill the blog page with my rather senseless thoughts that you are now perusing. It is so fortunate that even if unused for the past two years, www.blogspot.com has kept my site alive. It is not like an email account in www.yahoo.com which expires if not accessed in two months.
What has happened in the past two years that I have been away from this site?
Not much, I think. I still ride public utility vehicles in going to and fro my place of work. Despite previous plans of buying a car, the same has remained elusive. Not enough cash to make the downpayment, and the monthly amortization, just to be candid about it.
I still live in the same nook in Pasig City-- a small condominium unit with the barest of furnishings.
I still am employed in the same office, which I have been wanting to leave for several years now but simply can't (albeit I nearly did it last year except that fate intervened against me).
But one significant milestone that has happened to me is the birth of my first baby, a daughter named samantha adrienne. Yes, notwithstanding the relative lack of dynamics in my life, I can very well say that my daughter has brought in a whole new episode in my worldly existence-- fatherhood.
I guess that is just about for now, folks. I will update you about my baby the next time I blog. Keep tuned...
