Yesterday marked the end of my ten-year career in Information Technology, and a start of a whole new professional adventure. So yes, I'm celebrating a big milestone in my life. Well, I wouldn't jump into conclusions. It might be the end this time, but for all I know, I'll jump right back into it in the future. But for now, I'm hoping that before I formally switch sides, I get to be able to look back and write about my exploits as a professional geek.


When I decided to bring back this site, I almost immediately started digging up some old photos in hopes of inspiring me to write about something. True enough, old photos did stir up a lot of fond memories worthy of writing about. But just to avoid cheese this early on, I'd probably hold off talking about those really amazing moments which could get my eyes well up a bit. 

Instead, I'm going to post some photos of myself with different set of people, all but in a common setting.

The Comeback

I remember the days when I used to love posting stuff in this site. For nostalgia's sake, after more than a year, I logged into this account again and browsed through all the posts I had since 2006 (which I've all unpublished). It made me cringe when I saw how my writing was! While I had plenty, they looked like they were just written for the sake of having something to post each day. They were painfully very lengthy, incoherent and outright boring! I also used to love to write stuff about my friends, and the things we did together. I kind of looked like I was a really clingy (and cheesy) person; someone who would try to hold on to things, people, events that made me feel happy and special -- and I used this site to immortalize them. As I grew older, this was a part of me that kind of just faded, and as they paled away, so did my diligence in coming up with my so-called "blog post of the day".

I've also had stuff about things which were not really about me, but mirrored my interests and personality, although those were the rare kinds. After all, it's easier to write about what happened on a particular day rather than thinking about a topic and try to talk about it expertly.

So why am I saying this? Short answer, I want to bring this site back. For what reason? I'm not so sure.

All I know is I used to be known as someone who writes a lot, and I wish to bring this passion back. Over the past few years when I haven't been diligently writing, I underwent several career and personality evolutions, and I really wonder how those events would change my style and the topics that I can talk about. Yes, it sounds self-centered, but it is what it is.

For now, the site name remains. I'm still thinking on whether I should change it. And I really love the cute cartoon of myself with the hair burning.
