April Updates

I have not written anything for this blog for the month of March—for the past several months, in fact, since I have just been cheating in my previous ten posts or so. Most of them are merely lifted from a book and other sources.

I got preoccupied with what I believe is an important project. I also just lost interest in updating this blog. For several days, I even made this blog private and seriously considered setting it so for good. You see, doing a thankless job can be draining. I don’t earn anything, money or otherwise, from writing in this blog, and every now and then I ask myself why the heck I continue doing this. I don’t have to, and sometimes I don’t want to.

For the said reason, I have resolved to update this blog just whenever I want to. I’ll stop trying to beat my self-imposed weekly deadline. On one hand, this will mean unpredictable schedule of posts. On the other hand, this might result to better-written posts. Only one thing is sure: I won’t close or delete this blog—at least for the next few months.

I no longer post selfies on Facebook, but I can’t fully resist the temptation yet, so I’ll do it here—hopefully just this time or for personal updates only. I’m catching fish here, by the way. When I went to a relative’s house this Holy Week, in the mountainous half of Bagumbayan town, we drained their fish pond because we abstained from eating meat. I couldn’t resist the mud, so I waded in even if my huge wound on my feet had not completely healed.
