(...and I purposely typed that in all caps!)

Hello world! I've been to hell and I AM NOW BACK! I'm back! I'm back! I'm back!

After 535 days, 12 hours, and 57 minutes, I once again logged into my Blogger for an update.

Wow! It felt surreal to see the new log-in system of Blogger and the same old posting interface. Actually, I had to work my way to finally access my blog because they changed the sign up system! I was so lost that I had to request Blogger to send to my e-mail my log-in name and password.

Since my last post last year (I know, I know! Laugh!), many things have happened to my unbelievably amazing life: a dear friend passed away last June at the age of 22, attended two conferences (one local and one international), applied for a job at Nestle, an incredible Cebu vacation, bought a mobile phone, a new pamangkin was born, staffed for another DWTL batch, new pairs of lovely shoes, switched to DSL, signed up two new e-mail addresses, and a whole lot more.

After more than a year, I can tell you that life drastically changed for me. It may have hit me hard at times, but there were lessons I picked up along the way that I wouldn't trade for anything else. So, yeah, I am now a changed woman. Nakksss... hahaha...

Anyway, I haven't changed the look of the blog. I'm still keeping the red and white motif, as well as the macabre feather on the banner, though I removed some stuff from the right panel over there.

Awww, man! I still can't get over the fact that I am once again blogging here. I might have lost some of my "regular visitors" (aka FANS, hahahaha!), but I hope I can still generate traffic to this site.

I sometimes blog in my Multiply site, though I mainly use the site for posting my photos. What's interesting about Multiply is that it is a bit of everything: photos site, blog, calendar, networking with friends. It's Photobucket, YouTube, Blogger and Friendster all rolled into one. Ay shiet... Multiply endorser na yata ako. Hahaha.

But as I was doing this post, I realized that nothing probably compares to a site dedicated to purely blogging. Not to mention the blogging experience itself. The thrill of walking home and thinking what to blog for tonight. Or how to write it. Or what pictures to put in. Wow. I missed this!

So there. Ahh. This feeling... I can't even explain it. But I tell you one thing: it feels like nothing in the world to be back blogging. :)
