hanging in there...

I know I've neglected this blog time and again. Work has been merciless the past months and the fact that I'm the only one left of my five siblings in the Philippines did not help matters. Add to that the headaches (and rewards) my small business have given me, left little time to write and sort through pictures of my travels the past months.

I've been traveling like nobody's business, both for work and sightseeing that I have got literally thousands of pictures saved on my computer and external hard drive. Boracay, Corregidor, Tagaytay, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, CamSur, Albay, Ilocos, Coron, Baguio, Leyte, Samar... all in the past year and a half. As a matter of fact, I just got back from Leyte a week ago. Not bad, huh? If only I can spare some time to write about them all.

But something happened that made me think how important it is to put the recollection of my travels and photos on this blog. A few days ago, I could not open my Seagate external hard drive and to make things even more complicated, my Lenovo Y410 laptop suddenly and inexplicably died on me! So I was faced with the possible scenario of all my travel photos being gone.

It made me wish I've blogged about all the places I've visited. Good thing I found some tips to open my hard drive again and was able to retrieve my pictures and I promised myself to write my experiences and post on this site more consistently. I've also bought a new laptop last weekend, so I'm good to go. Wish me luck. :)
