Here's me hoping..

Tomorrow I have an appointment with the editor of the local newspaper in town, the Lahontan Valley News. I'm going in for a freelance correspondent position. A friend of mine referred me to the editor.

This isn't my first time meeting him nor it's my first attempt to get my foot in the door at the newspaper. But it never really bothered me. I've never expected to get in so easily, even as a correspondent.

It's not that my self confidence is low or not that I don't care. It's more of I don't want to disappoint myself. Journalism is what I went to college for. College felt like eons ago. It's been a while and I am quite rusty but I am up for the challenge. Yet I am still longing to write. I'm still longing for the glory of the "by line". I just want to write stories. Hard news, in fact.

So tomorrow, at 4pm, I will know if the Universe will grant me this secret longing of mine, an opportunity to write again.

Hello 2 0 1 1 !

I'm back to blogging. Again. I've probably typed that same line every time I disappear from the blogosphere. (Is there such term?) Well, if there wasn't, now there's one.

So much things has happened the past few months, where do I even begin?

Ah, my trip back home: Philippines.

It was short and bittersweet. I could not believe that I was only there for 3 weeks. Better than nothing at all, right? I had the best time of my life when I went home. I spent loads of time with my family and friends. I wish I could say I ate lots of food but I got sick during the first week that I opted to eating soup instead of all the lobster tail, calamari rings and fresh seafood that were in front of me. I've never been so mad at myself for having a sore throat, other than that exact moment!

We visited both of my parents' hometown and get to see my family. So much fun!

Needless to say, that vacation was so much fun. Me and my family get to be together again. :)

Now, I'm back to reality. Back to working. Back to mundane routines. At least I get loads of kisses from my little furry lovelies! :)

I usually don't do resolutions, I think they're a waste of time. but I am making a promise to myself that I am going back to blogging more regularly. I'm going to make an effort to write down my thoughts, I know that when I first got here in the US, my blog was my outlet. It helped me with preserving my sanity, and really, I should just write. Writing helps me vent out this pent up emotions.

So here's to 2011 and more blogging!
