Another Year, Another Blog...

As with my usual, thoughts are drifting towards how fast Time flies. This year flew by me and given the many number of things that I can say that happened to me this year, that is still saying something. For one, last December 2012, a third of our group were "transferred" to another company and that is seen by all as fired from our current company and was just taken out of pity by the acquiring company. If that is not a foretelling of things to happen in 2013, I don't know what is.

I spent the first half of the year waiting for the ax to fall. While waiting, Liza and I went on our Vietnam trip. We wanted it to be a big grand Thailand - Cambodia - Vietnam vacation but alas, we could only afford one fourth of that grand trip. Anyway, we already did the Siem Reap (Angkot Wat) and Ho Chi Minh City trip. So even though I have a foreshadowing that I am most likely to lose my measly, thankless job mid-year, we still went on the trip. Good thing we did, because we might not be able to do so for another long while.

The ax finally did went down last July and we were already into five months in the new company. Suffice it to say that some are not happy. We're just glad we still have jobs. Not talking about may company - but I started my story with how fast the flight of Time is and what we could do about it - or what can I do about it. Well, here it is.

Blogging. I've been trying to keep this up for quite a number of years. My first blog lasted for five long years. I've written many thoughts - spanning the spectrum of the most mundane to sometimes touching on profound. But oftentimes just a capture of what my life is at a given moment in time. It died without me giving it a proper burial (read: file backups) so it's hard to start again given the many efforts I put into the last one that just ended in a blip.

So. I'm putting efforts now. I'm more digitally aware and have more arsenal at my disposal. I have Google free blogs, and I have a website which I purchased two years ago and haven't done anything about it. Talk about procrastination. I am a Queen.

Here's to doing something about my life. If I can't do something about my digital life, what more can anybody ask of me in my personal life? I will do something about everything - all at the same time. (I have a very strong feeling to say something completely out of character - like "Naks" which in Filipino means somewhere in between "wow you're moving up in the world" and "geez, are you sure of all that?".) Anyway, see, I'm rambling again.

All those photos I've accumulated and words I've written - no need to mourn and grieve over their death. I've grieved enough over their loss and now ready to start anew.
