Finally, my first blog entry in four months! And this article is just in time for yet another year in our lives. Happy new year everyone!
Let's go 2008! The Britons have welcomed the new year with these wide array of lights and fireworks at Trafalgar Square. I always wanted to celebrate at least one January 1st here. They say it's an annual spectacle.
After four months, Chasing Daylight has once again seen a new entry posted in its realm. I'm back from my blog leave; and this time I don't have any excuses for that blog drought but the sine wave. What is the Sine Wave? Yea, it's something mathematical but you don't have to know what it is to understand my blog absence. You just need to know how a Sine Wave looks like. Here is a picture I was able to find through Google:
The sine wave is a very good representation of my blogging habit. There are times that my passion slash enthusiasm was so high that I used to blog at least one article per day, represented by the high arches in the Sine Wave. And then there are the months that I seem so dry that even though I have lots of things to share, I can't seem to find the urge to post it up. Those are the arches below the line.
My personal challenge for myself is to bring my blogging habit up to a high arch, and then make it stay there, and allow the wave to plateau over a long time. We'll see. As my blog mentor Anton of Our Awesome Planet tells, it's all about passion.
And since this article coincides with the New Year's celebration, let me do a quick glance at the year that was. 2007 is probably the best ever year in my life. Here are some of the reasons why:
1. 2007 is the year that I went back to the University after a year. I missed being a student and be in a place where things are a lot simpler.
2. 2007 is the year that we finished our thesis. Finally.
3. 2007 is the year that I graduated from college and formally completed my engineering degree.
4. 2007 is the year that I was able to get a job for myself. Of course you know that.
5. 2007 is the year that I earned my first ever paycheck as a full-time corporate employee!
6. 2007 is the year that I was able to go to Europe. Netherlands and Poland. [Related Category: Experience Europe]
7. 2007 is the year that I was able to go to another country in Asia - Singapore. Been there for 3 times in 4 months. [Related Category: Truly Asia]
8. 2007 is the year that I watched De La Salle win another UAAP Men's Basketball Crown. From suspension to champions! [Inboundpass: Green Archers breaks Red Warriors' Heart]
9. 2007 is the year that my parents celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary. [Related Post: My Parents Turn 25]
10. And 2007 is the year that I got reunited with the love of my life.
Goodbye to 2007, goodbye to my year. I hope we all have a great year ahead.
In behalf of myself and my family, I am wishing everyone a joyous and prosperous year. Let's go 2008! May God bless you all! Cheers to a Happy New Year!
