I normally do my blog reading and posting on the bed with my kid beside me. Whenever I’m busy with blogging, I make sure that she’s busy, too. I give her writing and tracing activities or coloring books. I glance at her work from time to time. She doesn’t mind me at all. I guess she does not find my work interesting enough to merit her attention. But tables are turned whenever I read KCee’s blog. She puts down her work and keeps on saying her friend’s name while pointing at either Kcee’s entrecard widget or the photos of her daughter. She thinks KCee’s kid is her friend Onisa.

KCee and I have many things in common. We both love to write. We have daughters, more or less the same age. We display our children’s art in our blogs. We are in our 30’s and and we sometimes worry about aging. We’re coffee drinkers and Starbucks is heaven for us. And we both love Benicio Del Toro. I think we were sisters in our past lives.

Now, let’s see if you too have something in common with KCee.

My Bag

Contents

These are the basic items in my bag - wallet, mobile phone, perfume, mineral loose powder, lip gloss, alcohol ( I prefer this over hand sanitizers, I feel they don’t kill enough germs!), facial tissue, a minimum of 2 pens (I usually have 4 of them), cutter (this will be useful in case of stranger attack. Quite paranoid, huh!).

I have a full time day job, but I also do freelance jobs after office. Actually, I tend to enjoy more the latter. It’s my dream to become a stay-at-home mom and go full time on freelancing. Oh, if only I could!

Some find it too juvenile to write in a diary. I don’t. I believe nobody is too young or too old for this activity that actually empowers and inspires the writer in some way. I have always felt a sense of security and comfort putting my thoughts on paper, as it unloads what occupies my mind and heart which can be quite liberating. Through the years, I have collected a number of diaries in different colors, shapes and sizes, and it’s always an emotional trip down memory lane whenever I start flipping the pages.

It was two years ago when I started blogging, but it’s only now that I have dedicated more time and effort into it. For me it’s pretty much like keeping a diary, except that I do it now by typing my thoughts and publishing them online for everyone to read. I’m currently enjoying meeting great people from all over the world that I wouldn’t have met had I not been blogging.
