I’m Called to Write More
I’ve ignored this blog for several months already, and though I already said that I’m back, it still looks like I’m not. 
So what is it with me? I guess it’s just the fact that I’m fond of putting off things for another time to do other things that are not even that important. And I know I should change that. 
This year, I pledge to do more and be more. And one thing I’m going to do more for sure is writing. 
I’m at the point of my life where I’m beginning to clearly see the path of the dream I’m longing to achieve. It just took me a trip down memory lane to realize this is what I really love to do — and I wanna do it for the rest of my life. 
I was in elementary when my mom bought me my first diary, and I happily wrote on it whenever I can. Chronicling my life is something I can’t get off me, and though not religiously, I still do it up to the present. 
There were chapters in my life, too, where I attempted to add a little flavor to my writing agenda. I started composing stories, poems, and lyrics (minus the tunes, so they never became songs, haha). I even went out of the realm of writing and just composed stuff in my head without jotting them down. But because I didn’t have enough confidence in my compositions, they never got out to the public. My stories died with the computer, my poems/lyrics were left inserted between the pages of my old journals, and all the others remained in my laptop, cellphone, and mind, totally unpublished. The only ones that made it to a public-readable substance were my sufficiently (and not-so) dramatic blog entries. That’s what you’ve been reading since 2008.
And now that I’m saying I’m back again, I shouldn’t let you down with your expectations of more posts in this fancy blog. What with my Navi 2012 planner/journal, a book to finish, and a journal to wreck, I’ll surely have a lot to do and a lot to write about. 
Happy New Year readers! Have a great year of the Dragon.

2011 – The Year That Was
(There goes the lame title again. 
)
The previous recaps:
2010 – The Year That Was
2009 – The Year That Was
2008 – The Year That Was
2007 Year-End Blog
I know I started this year right when I let go of the hurts and heartaches of the past and finally decided to move on. Waking up in the morning of 1/1/11 couldn’t get any easier with the thought of a new year and new life ahead. It was a delightful feeling, and I was happy.
Nobody really knew what was gonna happen in 2011. I told myself before not to make plans to avoid frustrations. But I guess that habit has been nailed to my bones and the more I tell myself not to plan, the deeper I drive the nail. Of course, not everything was planned. In fact, most of them happened on their own. And guess what? Those unplanned things were the ones that made my 2011 worthwhile. 
I know I’ve lived this year right when I looked back and saw that everything that happened was pure awesome. Wanna go tripping down 2011′s memory lane with me? Come! It really isn’t hard when all you have to do is go over the pictures (click ‘em to enlarge) and read the bullet-ized items.

Bilibid.com
When I first heard about bilibid.com, what immediately came to my mind was the prison. Well, that’s already a given. But I thought, there’s gotta be something more. Then I visited the site and just as I thought, it’s an auction/bidding site similar to pisobid.com. I’ve tried bidding at the latter using only the free bid points, and I knew I had a slim chance of winning. So when I attended the launching of bilibid.com, I was thinking that maybe I could win.
My blogger friends and I were invited to play a game of bidding. At first, I just watched them play, bidding only when no one else is at the Habol point (for the sake of not ending the game) — sniper mode. I wanted to win even just one item. I was aiming at an external HDD, but it got sold to a friend. The next item up was a digital camera, but another friend got it. Argh! That shitty feeling when you think someone’s going to Habol just so the bidding would continue, and the next thing you know, the item’s already sold! Tsk. 
Last chance was with the iPod Nano (6th Generation) with wrist band. My bid points were running out, and in fairness, pagod na ako sa kakahabol! Haha. 
The moment I was the highest bidder, I was silently wishing no one else would bid. And praise the heavens above, the item was sold to me! Bwahahaha! 
I actually didn’t expect that. I was planning to just use up all my points, then go to sleep after losing. Haha, lame. But maybe it was my night. I claimed the item a few days after.
