Hiatus King Returns!

OK, Time-out for “King” AJ’s Break. I’M BACK. And badly I missed everyone. Hope you missed me too. BTW, Merry Christmas-Happy New Year!!!
.
Knowing you, knowing me
.
I KNOW I was sort of hermitizing myself lately. Hard to pin down, freaking tardy even to send you the Yuletide greetings. Fellow netizens, virtual friends, to you who’ve been so nice and so patient checking-out for my new rants and litany of personal woes, THANK you, thank you talaga!…And to those who PM me with purging notices, May you not return/exchange our “candle” of camaraderie. I just, a moment ago re-commit my hectic life to blogging-addiction again so I’d appreciate if you could retain my cute name in your sidebar :D
.
Jesting aside, I DON’T’ KNOW If you guys have had the ff: 1. wonderful celebration 2. watched-out your diets & pockets 3. If your fingers and torso’s still in-tact upon observing our country’s merriest/brightest or rather, most expensive/most explosive season. Hope all’s well that ends well with everyone. I had a great one. And even the turbulent Holidays hit my senses and pocket hard, my experience on giving and sharing (and yes, lending) has been liberating and noteworthy. Every single experience counts. Every meeting with new and old friends was held dear. Lots of great memoirs to remember in time. Soon, I’ll connect the dots. Please watch out….
.
Stop bitching strangers (pardon the term)
.
As for my blogsite, my Feung Shui’ gurus chided me to mellow (if not to cease) my acerbic wits during this period of losses & hunger. However, those eerie fortune tellers cant’ just take away my in-born other side eh, - so kindly bear, because amidst AJ's tear-jerking pieces comes MORE of those bullying rumors & humors for this year of the Bull, err..of the Ox. I, myself need barrel of laughs to forget the misery & bad news around.
.
Obviously, here’s another back to my portal post. And obviously I got another frantic adjective glued to my self-invented name. I think of making a game here asking my readers to narrate or countdown the freaking taglines I used everytime I went for my habitual hiatus (aka laziness) w/c is a common blog-crime I committed :D
.
You maybe wondering….
.
Where the heck I’ve been for a couple of months?
.
Answer: PHILIPPINES. YAHOO! I went home for my BDAY, Christmas, & NY breaking the chain of my last year’s post. pls click here and here. 'Can’t blog & counter you back because my “no-room for emotions” work compelled me to operate like there's no day after tomorrow - this before and after I left for my annual leave last 12th December. Unfortunately, can’t blog even @home had since our ageing PC & Internet connection in Marikina often than not races with our backyard’s mushrooming snails.
.
Speaking of snail,
.
My nerve's turned freaking slow upon my 1st week of heroic-return in the UAE. Could'nt tow (my just last-last week's) happy-go-lucky self back to Office where hills and valleys of dumped paper-works await. But I was Blank. Crippled. Wretched. Cant’ explain. Reality bites and so is HOMESICKNESS. Never felt our rented room this quiet - and ghostly. Dang!..where'r are the people?? Where's my mom's frantic rantings and her grandkiddoes screaming? ..but I was saddened all the more knowing they left me for good in this promised land ..And the "unseen" are what accompanied me now (w/c is another story)...OH, missed too the love of my life and all those booze sessions and sleepless jamming with my "Tara, Gimmick tayo" 'tropa (which is also another story).
Why is it time flies fast when you’re enjoying.? !
.
Adapt or Perish?
.
With dreams that are yet to achieve, bills that are yet to settle, and for the sake of those who love me and hate me, I RETURN and opted for the first one. I invite you once more to walk with me in this blogsite as my journey continues, and as my quest remains...

UP NEXT….

Joyoz said...

Hello Aj, grabeh bushfire talaga last Saturday. 130 people dead, 700 homes destroyed and some were still missing. 47.5 degrees C maximum. Such a terrible day for me because my favorite aunt passed away that day.

Joy0z said...

Back here AJ para bumati ng maligayang Araw ng mga Puso. Sana ikaw ay masaya at napuno ng pagmamahal lalo na ngayun araw.
