I can't believe it has been 6 months since the last time I've published a post on my blog. The explanation was simple, I ran out of ideas of what to write like any other blogs I've maintained in the past.
This is one of those cases where past experiences does more harm than good. After years of the constant "new blog, ignore blog, new blog, ignore blog" cycle, I have developed a bad(??) habit of making an introductory post for everyone of my blogs. One way or another, I can't seem to break out of the jail I made for myself. A jail that traps my mind in the "you can't write anything else unless you have written an introductory type of posts" mentality. And as you have guessed it, this post is in a way an introductory post, in the sense that it reintroduces the blog back to all of you wonderful people after months of neglect. But hey, at least I'm coming back to the same blog after the "ignore blog" phase, that should count for something.
Anyway despite the fact that I have probably lost some of my readers, if not all, I'll try to do the best I can to gain back what I've lost. This time things are different, I can smell it in the air. No, I know for a fact that I won't be going back to the "ignore blog" phase that I have always fallen into. The times have change, even though it means a huge amount of stress for me, there are actually things happening in my life and I'm grateful of that. This time I won't let it slip through the cracks of time as I have in the past. They will become part of the written history, something for me to read on a warm sunny afternoon or a cold rainy day. Something to remind me of what life is all about. Something that would lead me to think that the world will turn out to be okay after all.
Hopefully, you will feel the same too.
Just saw the news that the tornado outbreak of March 2, 2012 killed at least 32 people in its path. My heart goes out to all who have lost a family member or something of great value in this deadly storm, hope all will be going well for you soon.
My 2 cents, for what it's worth, the tragic event was just one of those reminders nature uses to remind us of how futile we human-beings are. Have a present, it is just as important as having a future, if not more. For we can do nothing but to perish when the time comes.

PS: By the way although not all 13 of the posts I made last year were of any actual value, but there are three that I really like and are really worthy of another read through(if you do, please ignore the occasional grammar mistakes), they are:

People - a post about me overcoming my most difficult challenge. It is something that I like to read from time to time to remind me of who I was and what I have become.
That Trip to Canada - I really believe this one should deserve more reads than the other crappy ones, my bad for burying it underneath all the junk posts.
The "Lady" in Red - this post is what really made me want to come back to my blog after six months of total neglect. This post makes me feel good about myself as a self claimed blogger. This might even end up being edited and republished for my first real post after the ignoring period.
