spaced out... and out of space.

i miss blogging! things just keep happening in my little [analog] world and i always want to update my blog with it but like most people these days, i just can't seem to find the time. there's always something or another that keeps me away from my blogs to the point that i don't even visit them anymore. i always make a mental note to do an entry sometime soon but soon doesn't come and as time passes, i eventually lose the habit. then it gets harder to blog... or even write in my journal.

i recently read one of my old diaries from the 80's to my husband because there were several entries in it about him. we had a good laugh reminiscing the silly things i thought as a teenager and the nonsensical things we did and it just struck me. that i need to get back to the habit. it just feels so good to remember!... to remember the time, places, flavors, even old outdated verbal expressions. suddenly, journalling and blogging felt important. it IS an important activity and i should take time to do it. what if i lose my memory one of these days?

so here i am again trying to get back to the habit. of course, there's no better way to do it than putting to good use the typewriters and pens i already have. i also have to remind myself that no matter how inconsequential or unimportant a thought, a thing or a happening might be, 20 years from now, it will become a jewel that fuels my time machine.

welcome to my workspace, in all it's messy glory. in the foreground on the left is a gray Royal FP. the one on the right is a green Olympia SG-1. the typer in the far left is a 2-tone burgundy and gray Olympia SM3 that types cursive. i bought this from Ebay months ago but it just very recently landed on Philippine shores.

inconsequential chatter

right on the money

hello digital world

the earth is flat.

i can now go all over the world in seconds, or minutes, depending on how fast my broadband connection is. i can be practically anywhere on earth, learn anything, and view anything within the confines of the smooth, 23-inch, diagonal span of my FLAT-screen computer monitor in an instant. yep, just like that.

that is how the earth has become flat. practically anything now is digital and easily accessible. not that i don't appreciate it because i do. really. however, since this is so, we have also become multitasking, impatient people who expect everything to happen in a snap. and when we can get from here to there so quickly, we lose some of the flavor somehow. just like instant coffee. oh, snap!

this is probably the reason why i find everything non-digital increasingly charming... alluring... irresistible... fascinating... satisfying. hence, i create yet another blog to express my thoughts, via words and more importantly, with images. not that anyone is interested. or, maybe someone WILL find it interesting just like how i occasionally go through someone else's blog and find tidbits of someone else's thoughts that jive with mine. it doesn't really matter. either way, i just want to say hello to the digital world and show how some things analog just simply make me happy.
