The Lost Planner

Don’t you just hate it when all of a sudden, that single planner where you faithfully write all your memorable whereabouts and schedules disappear? Whether it is misplaced or stolen, loosing such item can be a pain in the mind and heart.

Kindly remind me - what happened in January again?

Imagine how heartbroken I was when I found out that my planner for this year is nowhere to be found. Last year, Thunderbird Resorts gave me their Limited Edition Black Planner as a Christmas present. I brought it with me to United Kingdom where I spent the first three months of 2011. I wrote everything there – my trips (with date and expenses), my thoughts (the weather in the UK can be very depressing at times), my realizations and all that important details on being reunited with my family. I rarely blog during those times so I wrote them all in my planner.

Information Overload and Procrastination

The end of August is fast approaching yet I only managed to blog once. This is not my normal blogging cycle here at my personal blog. I usually see to it that I blog at least once a week. It’s not that I am living a very boring life now. I attended a number of awesome events, went back to my hometown and bonded with my relatives from both sides, learned more about business from one of the best food franchise companies in the country who happens to be a family friend and a number of funny encounters are worth sharing. So why not update?

Tuloy-Tuloy ang daloy ng impormasyon. Kaloka lang.

I dunno. I guess I am just overwhelmed with Too Much Information. Do I blame technology for this? Partly. I also notice that now, I am quite impatient talking to a friend or a relative via phone or Skype. I seldom chat with people on my IM but I used to really enjoy it a lot. I can even chat with ten people from different IM softwares and still grasp whatever we’re discussing no matter how these points are different from one another.

The Beautiful Possibilities of Simplicity

Last Wednesday, I went back to Dagupan City (just after two weeks!) to accompany my grandfather and I originally planned to go to Binalonan (my mother’s hometown) and go with my blogger friends to Bolinao for the weekend, but neither of them happened. I ended up just spending most of my time at a newly-opened coffee shop to work on some blog posts and interact with some online friends.

Dreaming of Manila

I am also quite amused on the developments of my beloved hometown. New coffee shops, food establishments,  shopping malls, hotels among others are being developed. Finally, Dagupan City is open for some big changes!

Five years ago, I was a student who wanted to graduate right away. Instead of taking it slow and study for four years, I graduated one semester earlier than my batchmates. The reason? I wanted to leave Dagupan City immediately and pursue a career in Metro Manila.
