I have been remiss in my commitment, I know. Though I haven’t really stopped writing. Maybe some personal battles are better left to private journals than published for all to see.
Yes, I have been to some form of hell and back. And that experience has consumed most of my recent ramblings. This morning though, I’ve finally made that conscious decision to pull myself out of that vicious cycle and get back to things that make me come alive, like writing.
I’d like to think of posting here as a jump-start to my day. Though I might not be able to do it regularly, it will be like starting the flow of creative (?) juices, especially when I actually have to turn in some form of writing.
So, I’m back, for the nth time, and hopefully for good.

a commitment
I was flipping through the channels last night and came upon Daphne Oseña’s program on ANC which was featuring famous Filipino bloggers.
I’ve posted a few blogs in my day, but it was just somewhat like therapy for me --- a forum where I could vent out my frustrations or share my elation to an anonymous (and probably non-existent) audience.
This got me thinking. I started to scan the web for interesting blogs and discovered a whole ecosystem of bloggers out there. Everything from politics, fashion, bags and even dessert!
And so today I resolve to revive my blogging days. Hopefully I can post at least one entry a week --- on things I am passionate about, on interesting discoveries, or probably just about anything under the sun that tickles my fancy.
By profession, I am a writer (well, at least my job description says so), but I’m a terribly lazy one. Without some stroke of inspiration, I’d be staring at an empty computer screen for hours despite my ticking deadline.
Which is one of the selfish reasons for creating this blog. With a bit of luck, if I’m religious with this vocation, I will overcome the constant writer’s block. Like they say, practice makes perfect.
So indulge me if I babble on to much. I’m sure I’ll have a point somewhere; I might just not know how to word it.
