Busyness

I know. I haven’t blogged for some time now. Twice this week, my daughter E goes to me and says, "Ma, wala ka pa ring bago!" (Ma, you don't have a new entry!") I blame it on my so-called “busyness” phase and the fact that our Internet service bogged down yet again.

Anyway, it’s been three months since I quit my job, and really, I never thought I’d be doing all sorts of things at this time. I actually thought I would just be dreaming the days away, watching movies and cooking spaghetti. I thought I'd have a lot of free time to write essays and make chains and maybe start drawing flowers again.

But, as I told my friends A and B, the universe abhors a vacuum. And true enough, on the very first day that I was out of work, I was already on my way to Manila to do an interview. From that moment on, I have not stopped writing and editing and copy-editing and making chains and doing all sorts of Web stuff. I've had a grand time being a full-time freelancer, never knowing what I'll be doing from one week to the next. It's kinda scary, true, but it's very exciting too.

Sometimes, it really is best to listen to your heart :)
