Last Saturday I had dinner with my superhero high school friends, collectively known as the Justice League.

"Justice League? What the heck?" We've called ourselves that since 2nd year high school, with our superhero counterparts and all, but I actually don't remember how it all started. What I do remember are the awesome times we spent in highschool: picture-taking everyday, planning surprise parties for each other on the day of the surprise, having "party parties" on Christmas, doodling on our notebooks and on each other during class, bugging Ms. Malvas during math, making up our own dance moves (the classic "Wulla-wulla-woo!"), and have I mentioned taking pictures everyday?

It's 5 years later and everyone's grown up or feeling grown-up, but things remain the same. We're still noisy, we still make fun of each other, and we still take pictures like there's no tomorrow! <3

Although we're never complete during our "meetings," that doesn't stop us from having fun and making the absentees jealous (thank you Facebook tagging). I <3 you JL! Let's break the "once-a-year-only-meeting" curse and aim to meet again sometime this year? <3

My last blog entry was on April 17, 2009 on my now-defunct livejournal. It was about that week's American Idol episode (aka Anoop spazzing) and my love for Demi Lovato's debut album. It was around that time when "micro-blogging" took over everyone's lives–including mine, unfortunately. I grew content with 140-characters-or-less and didn't bother to write longer entries anymore. I tried tumblr because it was new and looked cool, but then they introduced "reblogging," "tumblrarity," and other things I didn't love which led to dashboard-flooding and giving up on it as a blogging tool entirely.

2009 was an event-filled year. From the balikbayans in our house during the summer to my whole backpack being stolen to the beginning of my k-pop fandom to losing everything during Ondoy to the long process of rebuilding our lives and to spending the holidays in an incomplete house but a more than complete home. Those would've been great to write about, but I wasn't able to. I want to start writing again because I miss the feeling of looking back at past entries and remembering all the thoughts and feelings while writing them down. I miss not limiting myself to 140 characters to say how I'm feeling, what I'm doing at the moment, or how my day was. And most of all, I just miss writing.

I signed up for posterous around the same time I did for tumblr but back then posterous didn't support custom themes or custom subdomains. But all that has changed and I'm here now! Armed and ready to write again! *throws confetti*

P.S. Note to self: do not fail this time!
