Hainrihi's Discoveries

Hi everyone! 

I know it’s been months since I said I’ll be blogging more. Well, guess what? I’m not blogging again and it’s kind of frustrating. 

I was so excited to go back, that somehow, I didn’t know where to start at all. I guess after I said I’m done with my hiatus, I never thought about writer’s block/slump. It was hard to write because I didn’t have the motivation. Add to this is I had new responsibilities at work, so I focused on those first. When I get home, I’m so tired that I would rather lie down and browse on my phone than write. My husband told me that it was normal. 

But for me, it wasn’t.

I needed to get my groove back and be more active because I was gone from the blogging world for too long. The pressure was in the air. 

Then I realized: Maybe the reason I couldn’t write/blog was because of PRESSURE itself. I was so pressured to create blog entries and vlog videos that I became stressed by it. So I avoided it. Does that make sense? I hope it does because that’s how I felt then. 

When I realized this, I decided to breathe, take it slow, release my stress, and try to create content without thinking of deadlines and what people would think. And guess what? I was able to create some blog entries and vlog content. No pressure, just write and create---and edit later. 

I know some people will think that I could’ve used that much time to post some of my blog entries. But I also realized that if I do more content, I can post them anytime. I have entries lined up that can last for days (or maybe weeks depending on how many times I post in a month). So, again, I don’t want to stress over my writing and just bring out those ideas through blogging and vlogging. 

So, to my few followers and readers who still read my blog, I hope you still stay and watch the show. I’ll be posting some content in the next few weeks, I just need to fix some stuff and to keep the writing flame alive. 

Some Updates!

Hainrihi’s Discoveries - I’m doing some vlog content as I also plan to do vlogging. Don’t worry, I will still be writing. It’s just that some content can be expressed better in video than in writing. 

- There will be some posts on traveling, lifestyle, and geekery, so stay tuned for that. 

Artsy Rabbit - This part of my content creating life will be more on vlogging than blogging because arts and crafts, stationary, journaling, planning, and everything related to those are better expressed on video. I already have some content lined up and I’ll be posting the YouTube channel soon (hint: it’s a bit combined with one channel). So stay tuned for that as well. 

I’m sorry for the long, personal post. I feel the need to get them out and let you know what I’m going through now. Writer’s block is hard and I’m trying to find ways to unblock it. So far, I’m doing good. I hope I can continue this unblocking because I love creating content not just for myself but for my readers as well. 

Thank you for your continued support. ^_^

It’s Christmas Eve! I would like to take this opportunity to greet my lovely readers a Merry, Merry Christmas! 

This year has been full of exciting experiences for me and this blog. It went to numerous changes and reborns, but I am happy it has flourished and developed well.  I consider this blog as one of my babies since 2010, but it was only this year that I was able to take care of it well and I am happy with its result. J

And of course, I have all you lovely readers to thank for. This blog is just starting but I am proud to what it has become. I will continue to flourish it and make it the place to keep people informative.

After many years of looking at this book in bookstores and not being able to buy it, I finally read “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins---and it was worth the wait! The first time I saw it in 2009, it was in hardbound and very expensive. Recently though, I found the UK cover online and loved it. It had Katniss on the cover that gave me a glimpse of what she looks like. Since the UK version is not available here, I bought it online. From then on, I couldn’t stop reading! If there wasn’t any work and sleep, I’d read it all the way!

Wow! Finally! I'm back in the blogging world!

It's been so long since I wrote in this blog and I was getting worried that it might be taken down. Good thing that didn't happen because I love this blog too much and I'd be depressed if it suddenly disappeared.

I missed blogging because had a hiatus from it for four months and it saddens me that I was not able to blog about Christmas, New Year, Valentines and my 6th anniversary with Marc. In fact, I missed blogging so much that there were times when I wanted to drop everything and write. But, I was able to adjust with everything and this was the only time that I'm able to write now.

Well, I stopped blogging for awhile because I had to adjust on, well, almost everything. For one thing I lost my job as a Research Assistant of Dr. Abueva in November because of budget constraints on the budget. So, I became busy looking for a job because I didn't want to start 2011 with nothing to do.

I have done some blogging before through Livejournal and another platform that I can’t remember anymore. But I never took it seriously because I was busy with work. Despite that, I realized that every night, I always have peace and quiet. Thus, I am given a great time to write anything I want. This is when I decided to start this blog. This way, I can write my thoughts and opinions, as well as practice and improve my writing skills.
