Saan ka galing, Kim. Bakit wala kang update sa WordPress?
This could be my writer-persona’s question to me. It’s funny to think that my last post was my 2022 year review. Hello, 2023 na. How are you, self. Anyare.
I know that being busy should not be an excuse. However, a lot happened for the first half of 2023. Since December, I have been busy preparing for my big event for 2023. Now, I am currently writing this while waiting for my flight tomorrow. To share, I am thankful that the half year of tremendous preparation has resulted to positive outcomes. I hope that the Lord will guide me throughout this pilgrimage.
I have been immersed to our ministry, Disciplesheep Ministries. We always conduct a weekly Bible Study to 100 kids. We provide them with simple snacks, and some school supplies. If there are sponsors, sometimes, they are also given toys. Aside from Disciplesheep, I have been an active member to the literary community, parish, and diocese. I love my new job as well! We have a lot of face-to-face meetups, too!
Aside from the organizations where I belong to, I also continue to visit coffee shops with friends for leisure. We still explore coffee shop. However, time really forbids me to write a decent review about them.
I also have quick out of town escapades, which are not blogged for some reasons. Juggling 3-4 projects at a time really consumed my time. I am not complaining, because I have been a workaholic and this kind of schedule is not new to me.
However, after my 2023 project, I will try my best to lessen my load and try to focus on my craft. Working from home has really given me a lot of opportunities to accept side hustles. But, the down side is I tend to sacrifice my craft.
Sabi pa ni Lola sa akin, “MA-MA ka pa, ‘di ka naman nagsusulat.” Haha. This hurts, really. Another kwento is I was accepted to be part of a writing workshop for children’s literature, but I declined due to 2023 big project. Anyway! I promise to write and finish my project soon! I am half way there! #NextBookNiKimDerla soon!
I hope after this quick update, I could write and blog about my pendings. Hehe.
