Another year, another chance to be a good blogger.

Haha!

But it’s sooo hard! When so many things are happening, I won’t have time to blog. And during slow weeks, I don’t have anything to write about. But I know I should blog. Mainly for myself- days pass by so quickly (it gets quicker as you age), and I couldn’t even recall what I did for this and that (recalling things is related to age too, I guess).  Another reason is when a friend ask me tips for travel on places that I’ve been too, I couldn’t tell a lot because I forgot.

As for the past year, it was a mix of everything..

Some travels – 1 month in Asia with Andrew (with 1 week in Manila), climbed Mt Kosciuszko on Easter with Lilian, June long weekend at Katoomba, October long weekend at Kangaroo Valley and Alice Springs-Uluru trip with Monde, Tim and Jenny. Ok, I had to check my facebook photos to remember where I went last year. I had a feeling that it was a slow year for travel but it wasn’t so bad!

Moved units TWICE – from Rhodes to Ashfield and to a better unit in Ashfield towards the end of the year.

Conflicts between people around me.. (I hate confilcts)

Joined a new client company, my first non-telco project!

I joined bootcamp, which I was able to reach the fittest stage of my life. Ever. LOL

Finished my advanced diving course – which I really don’t want to remember.

Andrew finished uni!!! Yey!!!

And i think I’ve cranked up my cooking to another level 🙂

For 2014, I don’t know yet. I’m just sure I’m going for a 2 month holiday to South America (April-May).

That’s all in my mind for now. Haha

Oh, and we scored cheap flights to KL so we’re spending the Australia day long weekend there. It should be good to catch up with RA and Mei.

It should be a good year to blog about places, food, friends and myself. Haha!

“The squeaky wheel gets the oil!”

That was my boyfriend’s status in Facebook. I understand each word but I wasn’t really sure what it means. Thanks to ever dependable google, apparently it means “People who complain the most will get attention or what they want.” Then I remembered he had an appointment today at uni about his complaint. Oohh.. ok, so that was it. Why didn’t he just post that – People who complain the most will get attention – then I could’ve got it right away!

It’s just one of the several instances when we couldn’t get each other-right away. Coming from different backgrounds, I know words that he doesn’t know (duh! Tagalog, obviously!) and he knows words that I don’t know. Though sometimes, I understand all the words but they have a different meaning when put altogether.

Another instance:

“Bee in my bonnet”

He tweeted.

“Really!?! And I didn’t know you wear a bonnet!” 

I replied on his tweet. I was surprised that a bee could get stuck on a bonnet, and he was in Newcastle that day for uni and I know he’s not into wearing caps/bonnets.

Apparently, he meant he’s so annoyed with something. Doh. “Bee in my bonnet” can also mean really obsessed with with an idea.

Boingrkss!

Ok, so the lazy me did not renew my domain last April. I’ve received dozen of email reminders from WordPress to renew it but I was just lazy. And I was thinking that I won’t be posting anyway so maybe I can delay my renewal for a month.

So the domain expired.

And when I tried to renew it, I couldn’t! Apparently, all the un-renewed domains will go to a pool and no can have it for a certain period. Which make sense. You wouldn’t want to visit something.com and be surprised that the content has changed from your recent site visit. So I tried again tonight and seems my domain is available again. Yay! I already paid but it’s taking time for it be configured.

Anyhow, I want to blog again.  This time I want to blog for myself. Days go by so quickly, and I want to have my blog to remind me of of important things that happen in my life. Reading my old posts makes me realize how things change, how people change and how I’ve changed. Old blog posts can be a good baseline to track the changes.

And because I just paid for my domain, I’ll be posting often for the next couple of weeks.
