like piano lessons
By Grace on Jun 10, 2008 in blogging
I can’t believe it has gone a couple of days without me updating this blog. What happened? I could write a string of excuses reasons why but it will all just sum up to, “real life got in the way”.
I got busy with work. Who knew, after all my rants of not doing anything in the office especially on Saturdays and Sundays when it’s normal working days here and most of the people on Earth are out basking in the sun. My work load has suddenly increased and I was nailed to my cubicle, to my chair! Toilet time be damned. Once I finally went to the washroom late in the afternoon only to feel burning pain. It can’t go on like this so I’ll have to ask my boss to replace my swivel chair with a toilet seat instead?
Yuck, no.
Back to my being absent for quite a while. I have learned (or maybe mentioned before) that blogging is like taking piano lessons. It’s a habit that’s formed and developed. Once you miss out on one or two piano sessions, you dread pounding on the keys again. Well, at least that’s how I feel and that’s what happened to me when I took piano lessons before.
But I’m not going to ditch blogging altogether now, I am back and if it means waking up at 5 am to write something, I’ll do it.
Otsukaresama Grace! I’ve been thinking of not blogging for a while too with my busy schedule and deadlines but I can’t make myself. hehehe

That is what I call dedication. Shoot, I need to take a page out of your book. I have been slacking myself.
Looking forward to all future posts.

Thanks, Grace, for commenting on my blog when you are so busy.
I’ve been slowing down a bit, too. We are so busy at school these last few days that I come home too tired to think! We’re almost done now! I have some good little haikus in mind.

Blogging as related to piano lessons? I see what you’re saying, although I find it a lot easier to get back into blogging… keys are easier to press down and it’s mentally less fatiguing than piano studies.
Having said that, my favorie pastime is the piano. I hope you still play.
