Let me get this thing started...

Since I created this blog, I want to start and share with you my day...which, by the way, is quite boring...

As most of you know, I am currently in law school and pretty much spend my weekends TRYING to read...It's "trying" to read because it is sooo easy to just veg out...Last week was very busy and so I just didn't want to do anything today...But of course, I did not just relax because I am an over achiever ;o) I read and did some of my paper (that's for your information Mom ;o)

Anyway, today is basically uneventful...BUT, there are some good news ;O) I received two of my grades from last semester and they are pretty good (an A and an A-) So Yey! for Jel...

As a disclaimer, this is my very first blog and have absolutely no idea about the rules of writing one...so bear with me...

I cannot wait to read YOUR blog!

Hello everyone!

It is January 24, 2009 at 6:27 p.m. I just read Griego's e-mail to me -- it was short and sweet. And it was precisely because Griego's message was short and sweet that I decided to create this blog.

I realized that my past few emails with Griego has been very superficial -- usually, "hello," "how are you"..."let's keep in touch." But there was no real communication happening. And I figured this is because there has been SOOO much stuff going on since I last spoke with Griego that there was no way to condense it in one email...and so, the blog idea was born.

I figured if we all just post what happened in our day -- may it be something exciting, surprising, sad or just something that made you smile -- then it would be like we are just one block away ;o)

We would ALWAYS be updated that we wouldn't need to ask, "how have you been?" (b/c we already know) And...for those who haven't met each other (like my siblings and the new cousins in Virac), then you'll get to know each other through this blog. And for those who have met each other but haven't seen each other in 10 years, then this would be your meeting place before the actual meeting again ;o)

So please post your daily/weekly/monthly updates...it'll be so nice to hear from everybody ;o)

much love and tight hugs,
Ate Jel
