Happy Birthday To Me...

I didn't realize till now that exactly a year ago I made my very first post on this blog. Actually, I started months earlier but a blospot glitch made me transfer my posts to here.

A year of intermittent blogging has gone, hmmm, not bad for someone who hardly had the inclination to write a page full article of whatever subject. But I do believe that while we may still hold the wheel (steering wheel that is), our ship is still subject to the winds of yore that may shift or change our direction notwithstanding the preconceived course that we have set for ourselves. Meaning? We never know what tomorrow brings and that simple guy Mr. Gump was wise after all when he compared life to a favorite box of dessert. I never planned to linger long in the blogosphere but what started out as a testing of the waters had turned out to a full blown "kinareer ko" undertaking. Yes, I love blogging, and my affair with it has lasted a year na.

Housecleaning

I have been doing some housecleaning today, right here on this blog. I decided to take out some blogs on my blog roll and add some new ones. To do this, I surfed around and came up with some really good sites. Some made cry, one made me think really hard and another inspired me while the last one gave me a very good laugh.

Its a colorful blogosphere out there with very talented bloggers. Now I know why their making some newspaper in the USA a run for their money.

Of Free Wifi, Pro bono cases, and Sundays Alone

I'm making this post from Jose Karlo's coffeeshop, a branch that just opened right inside Robinsons Mall Tacloban. They got Free Wifi but unlike Bo's Coffee down in Avenida Veteranos, a single order of cappucino won't get you unlimited connectivity. After an hour you have to reorder in case you want to stay on the Net in their cozy premises. Might as well, it sure beats having servers start giving you funny looks when you have overslurped your only order of coffee for you almost four hour stay.

So what does this mean? Now I know where to go in case I'll be needing a freebie connection for work thats to be done for hours on end. Bo's it will be. Definitely, JK is not practical when your doing pro bono work, just what I'm working on, and you need to look up cases on the Internet.

Gee, there goes my alloted hour, need to order another cappucino...
