In a moment that was necessary to save my life, I deleted without remorse my old blogspot blogs. Lazy days, hazy days, angst-filled gritty blazing days from 2004 to 2007 dissolved into thin air. No regrets. There will always be memories and there will always be words.
It’s important to remember, though. So, from the recycle bin of my mind, I unearth and commemorate my favorite posts from Exploding Starfish and Eclectic Outlet. Here are the Top Five(ish) Lists:
Exploding Starfish <explodingstarfish.blogspot.com>
- Back Office Antics series with “Joe”: “J, you’re just like this lady on the newspaper”,
- Back Office Antics series with “Joe”: “You could be a… a manager one day”
- 4 pesos change (My first glimpse into the real world Philippines)
- Getting pulled over at Edsa cor Shaw… and crying (Eye-opener on traffic rules and charity)
- Comment: When I gently lay the exploded starfish down and bid it farewell in 2005, someone commented and said he’d miss Exploding Starfish. “The humor,” he said, “don’t forget the humor.” I thought only M and A read my blog, and maybe a few more other people. It was good to know that someone else did – some random person – and appreciated it.
Eclectic Outlet <theadventureape.blogspot.com>
- The frolicking bears on Alpine slopes
- Ivete Sangalo and Alejandro Sanz tribute (I may redo this one because they are SO GOOD and this time I can embed songs)
- Tribute to King Bhumibol Andulyadej
- Annotated song list of New Juan Bond
- In general, the call-and-answer series of posting. Highly amusing and a little incredible.
It’s too bad I can’t remember any more. If anyone out there does, help a sister out and remind me.
