A new year… a new hope. Whatever!

After I got over the firecrackers’ eardrum-breaking sounds (not to mention the foul smell), I asked myself, “What now?”

As tradition goes, make a New Year’s resolution. But I lost faith in resolutions over the past few years. I can’t keep even one. So the list is just recycled and recycled and recycled … and, oh, you got the point. It was just plain useless. Then, I decided to make a list. It is not the things that “I will do” but the things that “I did but not doing it anymore.” Strange. Stranger still, there is only one item on the list. Writing.

During my high school days at Sacred Heart School and college days at Lorma Colleges, I enjoyed my classes that involved writing themes, essays, or stories. I also became a member of both schools’ student publications. I missed those times.

I decided to make a weblog to post even a little piece of my writing on it. And this is not for new-year-resolution-tradition-whatever’s sake but for Auld lang syne.
