NaNoWriMo 2009!
Does time really fly so fast that another year has already passed by for aspirant novel writers and followers of NaNoWriMo almost without a trace? Guess what, it didn’t seem that twelve galloping months have been taken off the pages of my writing life until I re-read this post! Nah, I am getting older. 
And I haven’t written a novel yet!
Just yesterday, I incidentally chatted with Sir Romy Mercado, a fellow adviser of college student writers whom I met in a regional writing contest for student writers 2 or 3 years ago. He asked me if I were back to teaching because there’s an scheduled training for writers soon. Oh how I miss teaching – writing more especially! 
The short chat and the reminder of NaNoWriMo’s upcoming opening jolted me to a reality that I should have accepted before – there isn’t any other time to write (or to do whatever you want to do) but now. It definitely isn’t tomorrow when the kids are older…as moms like me would say…but now.
Well, I should have learned much from Baby Bear in Sesame Street’s “Do the Alphabet” when he told Big Bird about his earnest desire to learn the alphabet. You don’t understand, Big Bird. I don’t want to learn the alphabet in a month. I want to learn the alphabet today, now!
Isn’t that the right spirit?

On being high tech
The kids in our family were born during the computer era, which I guess make them suitable for the title “techno-savvy”, whatever that really means.
My brother’s children started using the computer at an early age of 2. If that brought any advantages it is perhaps their being open to learning new things that are happening, especially in the computer world. Needless to say, my eldest nephew became so engrossed to computers and software that he can already conceptualize and draw cartoons and buildings using Paint, Adobe Photoshop and Dreamweaver at the age of 9!
If that didn’t shock you, perhaps my baby would as he started using computers at 5 months old. Don’t be surprised, though, because he was born during the “YM and Skype” era when our family members meet and talk to each other over the internet to lessen the homesickness brought by being far from each other. Our problem came though, when we already needed more than one computer in the house so that we could all connect to the internet. That’s when we resorted to wireless network.
With my little tot roaming around the house even during our chat with his grandparents, aunts and uncles overseas, owning a Linksys wireless router is surely a welcome expense as it allows mobility. Thus turning every corner of our house into an office corner, too!

Photo magic
Pictures paint a thousand words, many say. I bet they do. Here are a few that I took while I’m inside a moving car.
