Everything Under The Tropical Sun

Where have I gone? Playing catch up with all the things I left. I have to say: I love my job. I really do. Sometimes it CAN suck (especially when I’m dealing with small-minded, negative people) but on an average, I love it. It took me another three weeks to finally get into gear once more. I don’t like getting sick at all.

So now, I’m back and I can juggle my blog back into my life once more. Thank you to those of you who kept coming back. Those hits keep me keepin’ on… when I thought that maybe I should give up. Thank you. My heart and soul thanks you.

So hello blog world! I am baaack! So many things has happened… but my upcoming photos will still be from my last vacation. I’ll be posting new ones pretty soon… I’ve decided that I’ll be pouring my heart into learning pp. Sure, I know quite a number of things… but it’s not enough to excel. I have to study, study, study. How I’ll incorporate it into my already full schedule, I don’t know. I just know that I have to.

I’ll be writing about the many, many things that has happened during my “hibernation” real soon. I might have a hard time posting as regularly as I have in the past as I slowly build the routine once again but all I can say is that I missed blogging. I don’t know what magic blogging has but whatever it is, I’m in its spell.

Shamelessly Sassy is one of the blogs I follow. I love her quirky humor. It’s so inspiring to watch her find hilarious situations on a usually daily basis. It takes a witty and good-natured person to do that. I subscribed to her RSS feed just so I don’t miss an “episode” (her blog always felt like a comedy sitcom to me).

You can just imagine my surprise for the first time to read her post about how she didn’t like blogging so much anymore. Here I was thinking that she enjoyed her writing so much because it reflected on the tone of her posts. In her post, Writer’s Block: Say it Ain’t So, she writes about how her blog felt more like a job and how it has gotten to the point when she didn’t have time to even visit other blog sites because of all the emails she had to reply to.

I feel for you, Shamelessly Sassy. I love my blog. It’s like some part of me will die if I stop doing this. This has been a refuge and a source of happiness I can’t seem to quantify. Thank you for sharing your post. Your blog is a success because of YOU and if you change who you are just to accommodate a few, you’ll find that your blog wouldn’t be YOU anymore. I read because of you. I hardly comment, though. I think you’d rather know that I read your blog rather than what I thought. There’s enough people doing that already. And besides, don’t you think that the simple fact that I do read your posts says it all?

So I say, to hell with all of them. You are your own person and you should follow what’s best for you. I’ll still read your blog no matter what happens. Whether you say “Ferrari” or fuck. It’s all the same to me. I’m sure there are others out there who think the same. Keep at it, Shamelessly Sassy, my life would be so boring without you and your blog.

Dear Blog,

Oh how I’ve missed you. I know I’ve pretty much neglected you all but 1 post last week but I’m back! And I’m sorry. I know you feel neglected but I have not taken you for granted. I thought of you all the time but instead of filling you up with junk, I just took a break instead. I tended to the things I needed to do before coming back to you. I missed you so much, though. It was painful to stay away. I will never put myself in that kind of predicament. I vow to always find the time to see you and to post. No matter how busy I got.

Thankfully, you still had many visitors. I hope they treated you well. I’m sure they did. You always liked being read. Comments are also an added bonus but not so much. I know you liked being read more. It fills my heart with happiness to know that you weren’t alone.

I love you, Blog. I will never leave you. EVER.
Love,
Me
