It’s been a while since I last wrote here.
I’ve written just one post in December, and this is
the first one in January.
From what I know, a couple of my blogger friends –
Carlo and Kevin – are the ones on blogging hiatus. Not me.
One reason may be because of the very busy Christmas
season we Filipinos are typically known for.
Just a bit of trivia: Christmas in the Philippines
Seriously, seems like I may be having a harder time
writing after declaring that this blog is going on a new direction.
I don’t know why I am so pressured, there’s not that
many people who are reading my blog anyway. But I am… and I desperately need
writing inspiration.
The other day I was reading a guest post by Craig
Ballantyne at Zen Habits, and I agree that sometimes you have to “write to
repel.” What does that mean?
It means that you have to write with honesty.
It means that you don’t have to worry about making
everybody like what you write. You can’t please every one with your writing,
but only the ones that can identify with what you write.
With that in mind, I write this first post of 2013.
I’ve given up being pressured by the thought of others judging me.
Actually, I have many blog post ideas and, as a
teaser, here are the titles:
- How a Minimalist Father Spends His
- My Personal Possessions Update
- Looking (and Moving) Forward to 2013
- Thinking about Project 333
- It is OK for a Minimalist to Own More of His Favorite Stuff
These are ones in my draft box now, and I will be
rewriting (re-titling) them for posting these coming days.
