One of my pet peeves is seeing the phrase "[Person's Name] and I" as a caption in blogs and in Facebook. The correct form is "[Person's Name] and me". I don't want to bother explaining because there are a ton of stuff online about it already. Here are a few links for reference:

My brain needs to be reset, de-cluttered, spun around and maybe even thwacked. Gears aren't turning - the panic might be getting to me. I need great conversation over coffee, or loud blasts of rock music, or a shot of alcohol, or some chocolate, or a few paragraphs off a book/magazine, or a distracting movie/TV show, or a nice long talk, or simply ( Read more... )

Dear friends,

I'm busy writing. Sorry I can't check all your blogs right now, but I'll catch up once all my articles are done. There's so much stuff happening on top of work too. My schedule is in complete chaos. I still try to sneak a peek at some of your posts every now and then though.

Love,

The rain is pouring down in torrents here. Actually, it's been raining like this since last night. I can't believe that the government still hasn't suspended classes, even in the grade school level. There might not be a typhoon signal, but streets are flooded, accidents are happening all over, and the rain is just horrific. I won't even hope for a ( Read more... )

It's raining! I hate the rain, but I'm making this year an exception because the country was close to declaring a drought before it started raining yesterday. Besides, I do like the rain when I can stay in my cozy room all day reading a book and drinking hot chocolate/tea/coffee ( Read more... )

I was done by 10am. After e-mailing the article, I scanned the feeds, updating myself on tech stuff. Around 11:30, I was done for the day. I got off the ( Read more... )

Editing is bad for me. I tend to crave for munchies while I'm chopping up bloody articles. I'm guessing my brain needs nonstop fuel while I'm editing, but I don't need editing to make me fat. Blah.

Postscript: Now I want a bacondog. Great.

I guess it's safe to say now that I'm 100 percent back at work. I'm catching up with what I missed, but I'm sure by next week I'll have a routine going already. It always feels kind of strange when unexpected twists happen in life that tell me where I am is where I really should be at the moment. Sometimes one has to listen to the signs and just go ( Read more... )

Why didn't I bring my notebook today??? I can't retreat to Starbucks (my refuge) to write! I'm so freakin' distracted here for some reason.

Popping with mcspazzerton while trying to write my article:
