Dear Diary Blog,

It has been a long time since I last posted an entry here. When was the last time I was here? September of last year? Yep, I believe so. How have you been? How have I been? Lots of things have happened since, although there still remains lots of things that are still the same.

Barack Obama won the US election, that's good. But the world economy remained in the gutter, unable to stand up. My president (yep, I voted for her, unfortunately) GMA is still in office, her husband's name still pops-up in almost all scandals of corruptions that are being exposed but sadly, it seems we have to wait for 2010 for changes to happen. Unless a charter change takes place and extends her term in office, which I doubt will happen.

Lots of things have happened in my life, but I still remained the same in a way. Wish things could be different. I lost my passion for words, replaced by my desire to capture life in digital images. Writing is a lonely life. If you want to be a really good writer, you have to be prepared to live a solitary life, for it's hard to write good stuff when you're happy; except of course for the few very talented writers who were able to live a happy life and write good stuff at the same time, like Butch Dalisay. On the other hand, in photography, the more you learn to interact with people around you and your surroundings, the better your photographs turn out.

So for now dear diary blog, let me enjoy this camera in my hands. But don't worry, I promise to visit you more often.

Promise.
