Vocabulary Improvement

. . . photo from wired.com

I’ve been trying to write blog posts again since I'm on maternity leave. Most of the time I had a hard time writing primarily for lack of time. When I finally have that precious time to compose my thoughts and start writing, I just find myself lost.

Lost in space, lost in my thoughts like there are one hundred and one things I wanted to share but don’t even know how or where to begin. I have created a few blog posts here and there and realized that I kept using the same words over and over again.

And it hit me. I’m having a hard time writing because my vocabulary SUCKS.

Come to think of it. When was the last time I read a novel? What was the last book I read? Hmmm, sad to say but I cannot remember. Was it prolly the Crazy Rich Asian or Fifty Shades of Gray? OMG. I think it was all the way from the time I was still pregnant with Munchkin. Five years ago. Half a decade ago. Such a long time indeed.

I guess it’s time to go back to reading books again, huh? I know I abandoned reading when I became a mom. It just frustrates me when it takes forever to finish a book. So for the longest time my reading materials were usually blogs who by the way are getting extinct by now. Sometimes news articles online and other times I read through threads from forums about parenting.

I really think it's about time to go back to my books. But the real question is, do I really have time to read? And if I do, I want it to be worthwhile. So the next question is, what can you guys recommend or suggest?

Junk Food Is Life

I miss blogging. I seriously do. Times have changed. Some of the bloggers I follow already stopped blogging. A very few still existed and I am happy they're still alive.

It is hard nowadays to look or discover new blogs. Thanks to Google’s algorithm. All you see are ads.

Last night while doing some research on a snack bar, I came across a blog that I believe I should have discovered a long time ago. I mean, come one. Me, a junkie? I cannot believe I missed his blog.
Anyway, better late than never. Another good thing is he’s also on Instagram so I can get the latest deets on my junk foods. To all my fellow junkies, please follow Eric Huang on Instagram @junkfoodguy.

You're welcome! Hahahaha!

I know blogs are dying. Bloggers are a dying breed. Vloggers are the new king and queen of social media. But I believe (and will always do no matter what) that blogs and bloggers are here to stay. If I want them not to go into extinction, then I need to do my part to keep this little space of mine active. Though with all honesty, it is really hard with my procrastination and all. But I promise to try my very best to keep this blog alive for as long as I can.

So sorry for the rambling apology. I guess you can say my mantra for this year is "Stayin' Alive!"

Missing Out on Manila's Music Scene . . . Again

I did not know Kalapana was here last year for a concert. If it wasn’t for Tina Tagle, I would never know that they are still going on tour.

The concert was held last year at Araneta Coliseum. I was already pregnant then and I doubt if I would be able to watch it. Last year, I also missed Boyzone's farewell concert thanks to my all day morning sickness lolz. Luckily someone bought my ticket.

Sorry guys. I know my music choices are giving away my age (#titasofmanila). As if I really care hahahaha. Anyway, I still wish they would come back for another concert.
