Return to Blogging

As I rediscover the fact that I had my first blog made through this site and never made any more article other than a single entry talking about how potentially 'cool' that blogging tool could be, I was relishing the fact that I saw a glimpse of who I was ten (yes, 10) years ago.

But equally as interesting is the fact that it has been almost 10 years since I made any post here. I have had many blogs come and go in between, and so much has happened. I've had my reasons for blogging, and eventually my schedule took its toll. And here I am once more, ending that hiatus.

Gaps

That ten-year gap has pretty much made my perspective of the self a bit less blurred. The gap has defined the outline for the pattern I made in the last ten years. As far as evidences go, nothing can be seen within this gap, because obviously I have nothing to show what happened. But one of the more obvious things that anyone can see is the difference the gaps show between two things.

The gap I have been talking about may pertain to the difference between the life I had back then and now, but pondering on the purpose of gaps have made me pause for a while. Without gaps, we couldn't see boundaries, or outlines. These are spaces that define the non-empty. The gaps don't point you to itself, but rather call your attention to how far compared objects are to each other. In other words, gaps make you think how far or how different things are or have been, which, in retrospect, actually help you make decisions. Gaps need not be silent spaces, but they definitely shout something to you. Distance or time, whichever gaps are made up of, tell you something happened underneath the silence. Gaps don't show you what, but they tell you what happens then.

Going back to my life, mine does have a recurring showcase of the significance of gaps, be they time, relationships or abilities or age. I cannot help but notice how interesting gaps seem to make, specially when they are big.

Back to Blogging

So why am I back to blogging? Aside from the fact that I found myself more and more inclined to document some important realizations in life, I also have found it a necessity to document my technical approaches, solutions and epiphanies more. I am not able to keep track of everything and I often find myself reviewing the solutions I made in earlier problems such as in programming. I still hope to be able to follow up on this as I intend to make it into a habit.

First Drop

Well, here I am. I can't believe I just made my first blog. I wish I could get to make the most of this new tool. I'm trying to get used to this and I hope to get my works published through this. I wonder, how many of my friends have their own blog? Anyway, I'll try to get things organized here meanwhile.

Ooh, I just remembered! I'm still having my on-the-job training program and here I am surfing the net. At least I got to discover something useful. But still I have to learn to be responsible and learn to sort out my piorities.

Let me see, I have to finish my apprenticeship training within this week, finish my automated accounting system, get my tutorial scanned, improve my grades, and... I guess that's it for now. Oh and yeah, save enough money for the rainy days.

Wait a minute, how can I post my pictures here? How can I post my scanned images? Hmm...problems, problems. Meditate on this I will (^_^).
