Book Blogging

I tried to join the Filipino Book Bloggers last week but I was turned down by their site administrator. According to her my literary blog is more about poetry and movie reviews rather than book reviews. So I decided to start posting more on book review for now. So bare with me for the meantime as I won't be writing much movie reviews and poems for Blackplume. But rest assured that I won't stop writing for these categories as long as there is something I want to share and discuss. Blackplume will still be my writing and review blogs and not just a book review blog alone. I'll try to maximize it for everyone to enjoy. I don't have plan of creating a new site just for the book reviews alone. I believe I can work on one site and be categorize in different genre.

Just Move In

Last night I was out of my self when I decided to finally activate this page and make it as my journal blog. I move some of my post from my old site to this one. I don't have much time to transfer all my previous post since my sister Rica will be using my laptop again. I have to tolerate her more in borrowing my laptop for the meantime since I don't have much time fixing her Desktop nor upgrading her laptop. I am busy with work lately, working with three to four computers in front of me everyday and it's so exhausting for me to extend my work at home. I am spending much of my time in front of computers everyday of my life. That's a fact! Whether I accept it or not. Thanks God there are other interesting & fun things to do in front of computers. I can't imagine what will happen to me If I'll be doing all the debugging, coding, problem solving, research & presentations every minute I spent with all these machines. I guess I need to learn to enjoy my job more. Blogging is one way of my escape. I haven't post much of journal entries from my past journal site, most of the blog entry I wrote lately is for my literary blog. I hope moving my journal blog to this site will make me write more than before. Looking forward for a better blogging experience here.

First Blog Entry For Year 2010

I am writing my first blog entry for this year. I know that it's quite late already because I'm too busy with lots of stuffs lately. I really want to write something, I even started few poems for blackplume but I haven't finish anything yet. I am just too crowded with lot of things that I need to do. As I went back with all my entry here I realized that most of my post were written during the times that I am down or simply wanted to shout my mind out loud and free my thoughts. Those are the times that I can't find someone to talk to. Things are really different now. Everyone is busy living their own lives. Life is more real now. We all have things need to attend, responsibilities need to fill and works need to do. As the year started I'm looking forward for a more time with my love ones and myself than with work. My friends always told me that I am too busy and I need more time off. So before the first month of this year end, I schedule an out of town trip with some of my friends. And I plan not to bring my laptop with me this time. Just to make sure that I will not spend time in front of it instead of unwinding and relaxing. It will be just a weekend getaway since I can't afford to take a leave now at work but I'm hoping that those few days is enough for me to start the year more light and great. Everything is already plan, the hotel reservation is settled all we just need to do is be there and do whatever we want to enjoy and have fun. I'm looking forward with lots of things for this year. Hopefully a new working environment, new place to live, lots of new and exciting place to visit, more time with family and friends, know more great people, lots of new skills to learn and more exciting and great stuffs to do. May this year be great and exciting for all of us.
