First post of 2012. Testing from J’s old iPhone using apps. Should write a proper update tomorrow. Good night.
I wandered into someone’s blog today at WordPress. I did a search with the phase ‘planning a baby’ on her blog, and this turns up, which is based on another blog post here. So I might as well try to write my own version of it. O and I just realize that one of the ladies is also called Natalie, and both of them are also living in Australia.

Week 2 8 – 14 Jan 2011
Into the second week of 2011, the breaking news around the world was flooding, landslide, and more natural disasters.
Up in Queensland Australia, the raising of river level and fresh flooding affected many townships and even the state capital city Brisbane could not escape the overflow of the water. The state Premier has launched a Disaster Relief Appeal to support the devastated communities who some families may have lost everything.
Watching the news safely at home down south in Melbourne, this reminded me of the bushfire in Victoria back in early 2009, which many people had lost their home, family, friends and even their life.
I consider myself lucky, so far me or my other family members are living at safe locations around the world. None of us have been affected by any natural disasters or accidents which cause any lost of our belongings or lives.
When I look around my living room I see things lying around. My household is in no way prepared for any sudden evacuation if anything happened. Our IDs or insurance papers are all over the place. What if something happen tomorrow and we only have 5 minutes, or less, to pack up and leave? I need to put this onto my 2011 To Do List and have this organized.
Just another thought, with the volcano eruption in Iceland and earthquakes in Chile, Haiti and many other places just last year, is there going to be a major change to the earth we know at the end of 2012? This idea is constantly casting shadow on my mind, affecting the decisions I made on daily basis. So I am wondering, how many people think the world we know would end in 2012? And how should people prepare themselves for any of these natural disasters?
2011 Week 1
(This seems a bit late, as the first week of 2011 end on Friday 7 Jan. But just pretend I am working over the weekend. So this is for the first week…here I come.)
With the a post a week or a post a day challenge at WordPress and the discovery of Project 52, it seems logical for me to have a goal to write more in this year. So the next thing I did was to do a Google search on ’52 reasons to just sit down and write’ and this article is on the top of the list.
Who am I kidding?
For the past 12 months I did, only for a very short period of time, post a few times a week, either here (at WP) or there (at Blogger). But almost certainly afterward I would disappear for a few months for reasons I am tired to find excuses for.
Although in 2010 I found a few sites which ignite the writing spirit within me, like 2weeks1gather, later moving on to Every Little Life, and 52 Weeks of Wordage. All these sites provide the enlightenment of writing and the feeling of not being alone. But I did not have a good track record. That’s why I afraid to sign up for anything openly. But I would still give it a try. I need this. I need the uncontrollable typing fingers typing away the tiny bitty thought mingling in my mind. I got lots of words and lines all ready in the mind when I am walking about. But seldom did they flow back into my life when I am sitting in front of the computer. And I don’t have an iPhone, or any smart phone. I am still madly in love with my 2 1/2 G camera phone. It does allow me to post photo to my Well. But still, only if I do take a picture and write something, a post a day or a post a week is still a big commitment. But I will try. I want to do it. Ooh I know, if I put it in this year resolution, then I can whine on it if I did not make it a post a day/week at the end of the year. How about that?
I have just migrated my old posts at Eko’s Garden to here.
The oldest post over there was written on 8 April 2006.
The migration has made a mess to this place.
Maybe I will tidy up these old entries one day.
Maybe I will just let them be.
They were once pieces of me from the past.
They were there for a reason.
But for now I have one less place to look after.
Still got many pieces of me out there.
But this is me.
This is Dreamy Dots. With a S for the Dots.
