Rekindling Old Flames

They say old loves die hard and I'm not going to argue with that. How could I, when I'm finding myself going back to the things that I love these past few weeks?

I used to lose myself in reading. Used to spend hours curled up in bed, enjoying a good book and listening to my favorite radio station. Used to visit Powerbooks and buy their magazine monthly.

I used to get caught up in one series after the other (House, Grey's Anatomy, PrisonBreak, Heroes, Gossip Girl... also japanese dramas if i may add). Now, I've become ignorant of the latest series around.

I used to watch out for upcoming musicals showing in town. I may not be able to watch most of them, but I was updated.

I used to write and post in this blog almost every day. Used to have something I wanted to write about most of the time. Used to want to write as much as I wanted to.

Somewhere along the line... I found myself not being able to do these things. Life got busy for me. Then, there were times when even if I had the time to read, or watch, or write, laziness got the best of me. Somewhere along the line... I lost the drive to do these things.

Suddenly, I wanted to learn how to cook. I wanted to keep fit. I wanted to watch more animes. I wanted to check out as much NDS games available. As much as wanting these aren't so bad at all, I feel like a part of me had gone. Those I mentioned above may be passive activities but those are what define me. I am and will always be a bookworm and a frustrated writer at heart.

And so...

Recently, I've picked up my first novel for this year (The Time Traveler's Wife as suggested by my sister). I have yet to get to half of the said book as I try to read at least one chapter a day.

Last March 9, I went to see Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah The Musical at the CCP Little Theater with Ronnie and 4 friend-officemates. To say that I missed being inside a theater is an understatement. I'm looking forward to watching another play sometime soon.

Just hours ago, I finished Bambino (made me want to cook more). I'm thinking of catching up on House next. It sure feels like forever since I last watched a House episode.

Lastly, here I am blogging my first post for 2009. Hopefully, I get to do this as often as before.

I'm going to keep doing these again, I promise. As well as... to try cooking dishes even if it's only on weekends, to include 30minutes of cardio exercises in my daily routine, to watch/finish the Saint Seiya anime I started since January, and to start playing Chrono Trigger on DS (I really ought to finish FFIV already!). There's a plethora of other things I still want and plan to do, but I'm not going to rush and won't be discussing that now. Maybe next time, when I've already got them in action. ;)

For now, I'm just happy rediscovering and discovering old and new interests, respectively.
