My new job

Imagine. I get paid to blog. Who would have though that there was a job like this? :) My official job description is multimedia journalist. O diba, ang taray!

Now I have an excuse not to update this blog, as I'm now blogging practically everyday at the pcij institutional blog.

It also means, as a friend pointed out, that I'm going to have to be much more careful about what I write here, where anyone could read it (this is, after all, a public blog).

However sad it may seem that many of my thoughts will now be relegated solely to the realm of late-night scribblings and conversations, still, after GMA, my new job is a cause for celebration.

I repeat,

I do not like being tagged. but when it's done by a friend, (in this case, kat) i'll make an exception. (although this time, i won't pass it along, hehe. or i may...)

se7en (or self-indulgence)
