As I redesign this blog. It's been a while since I played with the code. Not bad for refreshing my knowledge. I made the recipe archive easy for me to update. I'm working on how to make it visually enticing for you. I'll share the books I've already read and some of the reviews I posted on my Goodreads here soon. I'm slowly getting back to making mini books, and I plan to share a few tips here and there. In the meantime, enjoy browsing old posts, and I hope you find something interesting. 

I've been thinking for a few hours since my last post about what I really want to do with this blog, but as of this writing, I still can't decide. Most of the topics I shared before are the same ones I want to share now; I just don't know how to present them this time, given how much our world has changed and personal info has become something we all want to protect. 

I love sharing things I encounter in real life with family and friends on Instagram (especially to those who live & work abroad), but sometimes sharing them online is a challenge. Social media has become a toxic and ad-heavy platform, and scrolling becomes a chore instead of something that will spark an idea or inspiration for someone. 

Blogging, on the other hand, will always be a calm place for me to share, but it is very public and exposed to all kinds of people. I need to filter what I want to write here. To be extra careful about sensitive topics I want to talk about. I'm not here to wash our dirty linens in public. I just want to continue writing about things that make me happy. 

So, yes, I am back and excited to be here again. 

The corkboard calendar is totally inspired by this and without a doubt, it made my blogging life so easy. I no longer freak out about what topic to post plus I love the idea of a huge corkboard where I can pin stuff that I need to work on. The cork sheet (24x36x1/4) was bought National bookstore. I adhere it to the wall using double-sided tape.

I arranged big sticky notes like a calendar and just used a smaller post-it for post ideas. Seriously, I love to look at this arrangement every time I'm in front of my craft table. I no longer worry about what to post and when to post it.
