DAY THIRTY. One last, before I call it a day, for closure’s sake. :)
There was a time in my life when I preferred separating images from words. I didn’t like putting images in my blogs and would rather keep them in one place (like, in flickr or multiply), something akin to how Sam (character played by Sean Pen in the movie I Am Sam) wanted the lima beans on his plate separated from the corn because he didn’t like seeing green and yellow together. I never really got around to understanding my autistic tendencies, eh, but I’m just glad I’m over that stage.
Now, I feel like there’s something wrong if I blogged something without a photo in it. I love the idea of combining these two powerful art forms together to convey a message. (Someday, my message, and my art, will have more depth, just you wait!)
I thought it was nice to look back to the past month through these photographs. I mean, come on, who’s crazy enough to look back by reading through all 33 posts from that day up to now? I’m just so glad there are photos to look back to — after all, they speak in a way no words can do (and in less amount of time as well).
So.. I think that’s it. My 30 awesome days, over and done with. I know it’s a cheesy thing to say, but to be honest, this past month has really changed me in more ways than one (uhm) six.
What’s up for me after this? Well, for one, I will continue blogging. Maybe you’ll see my pessimistic self resurfacing once again now that I’m not obligated to write about life’s awesomeness anymore, lol. And then I’d rant about my failures again (yay, I can’t wait, lol). But at least now I know better than to hit publish without realizing the silverlinings first. If only for that simple reminder — to see beauty and joy in the most everyday of places, and in the most random of things — I think the past 30 days was worth it, indeed.
Thank you, one and all, for keeping up with me.
Stay awesome. :)
Xoxo, Riz
30 Days of Awesome, 30/30.
yudidit! :)
Congrats Riz! I’ve come to look forward to your posts for the past 30 days, and it really is refreshing to read when you find the awesome stuff in the little things. :)
Congrats wooot! You’ve been such an inspiration to many people, and to me. Keep the fire burning ate. :)
Congrats on achieving 30 days, Ate Riz! Now I do hope you keep blogging religiously. It’s rare that I find a blog that’s updated daily that I can somehow connect with (yes, I’m a mush tush and sometimes even a lot more than you are haha). Again, congratulations and I’m really inspired by your feat, I just might do it one of these days! :P
Oi JM! Oo naman noh, mas emo ka naman sa ken di hamak! Lol. I’ve been reading your livejournal too, and it’s amazing how much your writing has changed from way back. :) And yes, do the 30 days, maybe 30 days of emo? :) Haha. It’s therapeutic, really. :)
Congratulations, Riz! The blog challenge may be over…but I am still looking forward for more awesomeness from you! :D Yay!
Thanks Abbie! And YOU!! You should blog more!! :)

Thanks Mommy Kaith! I’m glad I found your site too! It’s interesting to find someone who’s the same age as me but with the added touch of mommyhood. I like learning from young mothers. :)

Thanks Fena! Pero, baket ba kasi nakahiatus pa rin yang domain mo? :)
