So, I haven’t touched any of my blogs for a very long time already. For someone who despises inconsistency in general, I find it ironic that I can not keep my blogs updated. I kept on thinking about plausible reasons that I would write here to justify my not blogging for ten months but I realized excuses won’t matter, especially if I would be explaining to some presumably loyal reader.
In any case, I’m still listing here the things that have been taking so much of my supposed blogging time, hoping my four loyal readers would eventually understand:
1. Day Job. I’ve been focusing a lot on my stressful six-day-a-week work because I realized my job deserves more attention than blogging since it pays a lot more than the earnings from the AdSense ads in all of my blogs. Besides, when Google formally released Google Sites, I started feeling like I’m blogging productively even while at work when I spearheaded the creation of our own Intranet using Google Sites. So far, after 172 days, our Intranet has proven to become very useful for our associates. If you are part of a company that still doesn’t have an Intranet, I strongly suggest you develop one using Google Sites.
2. Defense of the Ancients (DotA). After each workday, I play DotA online through Garena sometimes until the wee hours of the morning to de-stress myself (or so I claim) although excessive gaming proves to result to much nagging from my significant other causing additional mental and emotional strain. She had our home net connection cut (for economic reasons, she said) and since then I’ve been experiencing DotA withdrawal syndrome. But unbeknown to her, I play after work from time to time in some gaming café just to soothe the addiction. Subconsciously perhaps I’ve been preparing for a career in playing StarCraft II (!).
3. Cable TV. Watching cable programs (especially the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games coverage) and DVDs has never been so satisfying an experience until we purchased a 32” Samsung LCD TV. I was suggesting of acquiring a gaming console (an Xbox or a PlayStation) to complement the TV, but my SO was not sold the idea since, knowing me, she said I might stop going to the office and just play all day at home. We know of some people that do nothing but just that after owning an Xbox and LCD TV. Together with an internet connection, such combination of home appliances seem to translate to sudden and considerable decrease in personal socialization levels for natural-born gamers.
So there, there are my lame and unacceptable excuses for not blogging. And I must say that I’ve missed a lot of developments in the blogosphere, but I will keep up.
Till my next posts guys! :-)

Thousands of tons of earth must have been moved in constructing the SCTEx. This expressway noticeably passes through what used to be mountains and hills in Bataan:
