It's been a year?
Hey, this site is now one year old! Thanks to all of you keeping this blog alive with comments and guestbook entries.
***
And so, with 12 months under my belt, I'd like to share a few things I've learned about having a weblog:
1. You're almost never behind in global events and, care of my Filipino reads, chismis, because maintaining a weblog requires reading a lot of news sites for up-to-the-minute cool bits of info (or if you're lazy like me, Daypop alone does it pretty well) .
2. As impersonal as it may sound, a blog is a good way of letting family and offline friends know that you're still alive and just a mouse click away. Just don't let it take the place of e-mail.
3. Because they read how you think, people tend to find you more approachable. Arnold and I have met a lot of extraordinary, like-minded people online, and have I mentioned that we've gotten a lot of project proposals via this site? (:
4. You become part of a community. Somehow a week isn't complete without knowing what Neva is busy with, what books Indi & co. are reading, who Meggie is crushing on at the moment, and what all these nice folks whose words have reached out to my end of the www are currently up to.
5. And yes, blogging takes quite a big chunk of your time, so if you have an addiction starting, consider yourself warned.
On that note, I'm signing off for now.

one year! wow! that only means you lead such an exciting life! btw, yup, got little lit tucked in my little box of children's books and comics. it's the same copy that luis katigbak reviewed ten thousand years ago in legmanila. i was hyperventilating when i first read about it in time.

one thing i realised
after reaching a
milestone like this, is
that if you have a
search feature
installed, you can
easily trace back to
things that you did, or
forgot you did :)
congrats!

Happy na, anniversary pa! =)
What can I say, your website is addictive! It is one of my daily morning stops in between Wash.Post and CNN (maski hindi work-related! uh-oh!) It balances my day. (o diba!)
Regards to Arnold and family.
Warmly,
ron
