A New Journey

Hi everyone,
Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize to all my friends, and fellow word press followers, for my absence.
My last post was on November 28, 2013. My absence was largely built around the busy schedule of my personal life, and the journey that I ventured upon for the past year and a half.
This journey of mine was filled with many adventures.It was a time where I confronted, and came to terms with many things at a personal level in my life. I am glad that through the onset of it all I have been supported by my friends, and family. I know that I am yet to see the end of this new adventure, not that I want it to end anytime soon.
Meanwhile, I also successfully obtained a BSc. in Honors Astrophysics, and am now in pursuit of a MSc. in Physics. Immersed in the cascade of events that accompanied my journey led me to depart from writing actively, and in retrospect, it seems like I took a short sabbatical.
But life would knock on my door again, this time to renew my writing, and so I did. Our Last Summer will always be a cherished memory of my heart. It was my first published work, and I brought the fervor, and motivation of a young teenager to the words I shared in my personal memoir. Slowly but surely, time has come to pass…
And with that a new journey has begun. A journey that I wish to share with everyone. I will consistently promote Our Last Summer at every opportunity I get through this blog. At the same time, I am hoping to reach out via a different means to my audience. Just as much as I have transformed, so will this blog for the sake of this new adventure, that will not only highlight a new me, but also more writing!
I’d like to once again thank my friends, and family, and all those who had followed this blog in its earliest days. I would be glad to have you join me in this adventure again.

Memories are something to treasure…

So here I am after a long day of work, in my room at the university dorms. I live on the same floor as I did last summer, when I stayed back to do a research project at the University of Alberta.

My journey towards publishing this book started then…and after about

3-4 major edits

30-40 photos

10-15 videos done

and lots and lots and lots of emails sent to iUniverse, marketing consultants, distributors, and etc. etc.

and with lots more to be done as of yet

I am now in the verge of publishing this book. Initially, to get this done, I knew it was going to be expensive so I had started making plans for promotional posters and what not all by myself. But thanks to my family, who have supported me, they have made my dream come true.

Now when I look at this following picture, I can’t help but reminisce once again towards Our Last Summer…we’ve made it this far, only a few more steps, and our story will reach the world!

This picture was taken in the beginning of Autumn 2012. At that point, I had no idea that I would get this far, but i suppose that’s what makes life interesting (or annoying at times), the not knowing of it all hahaha!
