In one of them while-my-sister-is-driving conversations, I had mentioned that I’ve always wanted to write one of them “word of the year” blog posts. I’ve been meaning to since that first blog post my sister did on it but as you can see, I’ve never gotten around to do it because (1) I was caught [...]
For the past year or so, I’ve been searching for something that will help bring back a bit of what blogging used to mean for me. I had missed the community that genuinely wishes to engage in conversations that aim to share and connect. I missed participating in blog carnivals wherein I revel in thematic [...]
