Ciao: Some amore!

Despite the million things in my head right now that I just can't wait to blog about, not to mention the hundreds of back posts, here I am trying still to make it past the two-digit mark (not even)....here are my excuses:
#1: my laptop has been indisposed for a while.
 #2: I'm behind my study schedule by um...2 episodes of Cake Boss and one season of House,to be accurate.
#3: blah, blah, blah, I was just lazy.

But really, when I was just contemplating on starting a new blog, I was dreaming sooo big. In my own world,I had secret high hopes of being the next best thing. haha. Who doesn't, show of hands? As voyeuristic as we shamefully deny ourselves to be, I believe that we are more of exhibitionists. Right Mr. Zuckerburg? hmm.hmm? Who isn't tweeting his lunch of the day or posting her outfit of the 7 days a week? Raise your Blackberries!
Days of the week? Parang panty lang ha. Hehe, excuse me as I laugh 'bout my private joke.

Back to my excuses reasons...well, as a recovering agoraphobic, you'd understand that I had a lot of blog insecurities. Deciding on my blog header font alone took days, I'm really OC (boy, do I need help!). I wanted to integrate all of my favorite blogs' styles that it wasted me time starting my own. So, I just went ahead, and tried the easiest format, looked at the style that best fitted my aesthetic and figured that I'd just make many changes along the way.

Still, the green eyed monster didn't stay away. Just as I was in the process of negotiating with an artist to do my header...(say kina-career), this popped up...



 Waaahh! (butter churning moves on!) Over the moon.
Just when I was debating myself (now, I'm a schiz atop all) whether to go all the way with this blog and do the works (feeling sikat na ba?) or abandoning it, inspiration comes in the sweetest package!
I've mentioned before that I was such big big fan of Sally Shim's blog, and who better to pull me out of blogging limbo but her!

Really, this knocked me hard on the noggin', back to earth....and reminded me why I blogged in the first place. Ms. Shim put it perfectly, my blog would be a "wonderful place to connect with friends and family..."
And that it shall. I forgot that I shouldn't be conscious of what the blog paparazzi would throw at me, I had quite a few traumatic ones before (and I'm not even a blogging starlet,I'm more of in the indie category, so to speak). I didn't even listen when one of my bestfriends told me "just hella write what you want!",one even offered legal advise.hehe. 
I'll write for myself and the people who don't care if my spellings wrnog. 


After all, if some won't like what they see, it's their fault they looked.


Thank you so much Sally! You'll forever be my blog heroine.
