Late as always, this should have been written and published in the beginning of the month. Unfortunately, having to make major restructuring plans, I've been delaying it till today.

Month after month, I've been putting this on hold, finding the right time to explore new boundaries. After Leon and gang came up with Ink & Light Studios, the talk held at NUS with the founders of Nuffnang a couple of days back, a short discussion with Estee and her job, and the endless discussions with my "family" (Teddybear, Priss, Vanessa, Celest and my mum), I've came to a conclusion that my life can't just go on this way – neither can my blog.

"It's better late then never"

I've been told this far too many times. Admittedly, I agree with the "saying". As long as you see the importance of something but miss the "deadline", you should still go ahead with it. You never know what the unexpected has for you.

Now, as mentioned, this is a month for change. I've been planning for this since the beginning of the year, but never had the opportunity to start.

It's mid-March already. In no time; the end of the first quarter will be at hand. With what's left of the month, I introduce to you the new content development for Sabrina.SG in the coming days.

Yes, it will still be my personal space, a place where I jot down my memories in writing, photos and, sometimes, videos. In addition to that, from now till this blog ceases to exist, I will be featuring products/services/issues each month and every month - a theme. A focus is called for; blogs are no longer a space for meaningless ranting.

I hereby declare March 2009, the new beginning.

What to expect in (the remaining days of) March 2009?

Gadgets

This month I'll be featuring all the LG products that I've been presented with since the very beginning.

That more or less covers the "technology" part of my life, for this month at least.

Events

As a writer/blogger, events are like bread and butter of our trade. Naturally, that means that if invited to any this month, it will be covered best to my ability.

In addition to that, the events in the recent months that I have attended, and would very much like to share, but have not done so, will be dug up and reviewed once again. It is old news, but to me, memories like such should not be left without footprints. Memory may fail me in days to come, but words and images will not.

The grand event for the month is none other than the IT Show 2009, happening two days from now. Join me at Gadget3.com on my journey to find the right bargains this IT Show! I will, of course, be writing personal pieces of my adventure there as well. But for better insights and promotional details, Gadget3.com would be a much better place for you to visit.

Note: Will be updating on Twitter live at the IT Show 2009!

Lifestyle

Those that follow my blog (not many, sadly) would be aware by now that I am not the beauty/fashion expert per se.

This month, I'll be venturing through new waters and exploring the possibilities of how beauty and fashion can be made easy to "people like me". A makeover is desperately needed, now all that's missing is the expert with the know-how. Volunteers please? Fyi, I'm low on budget.

Food & Dining

There are a couple of places I've visited that are truly worth mentioning - esp. the one that Priss and I had candlelight dinner at, amazing steak!

Note: Teddybear and I visit many dining places, but I'm covering those at FamilyofBears.com instead. Because that blog is for him and me! :P

Travel

Till this very day, I have not completed my entries on my Bintan trip with Priss.

And to think that we're probably heading to Hong Kong end of April. I am very much determined to finish it up and if after its completion, I still have time, Korea is next on the list - otherwise it's April's travel baby.

Contests

One has already been published - the HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam edition.

I'm hoping that I win the sub-notebook so that I'll have a portable and fashionable device to carry around in my new journey. LG has decided to take away my X110 next week. Sigh.

Apart from that, there's:

1. Win $1000 when you come up with the best story ending to notsosecretlives.com! - ends March 15th
2. Nuffnang Contest - Win a holiday to Australia! - ends March 30th

I'm not quite certain about the first one yet. If by Friday, I still can't catch the gist of the story, I'll be dropping that, which means it's off my to-write contest list. (Duh!)

Advertorials

What can I say, I need the moola! This month I'll be covering *ahem* contact lenses (which are waaay overdue, (duh) Ink & Light Studios, and...

The rest are pending confirmation. Let's just hope a big one like Xiaxue or something. I could seriously use SGD10,000 right about now - I want to TRAVEL!

I'm not sure if you guys/girls are aware, but apart from Sabrina.SG I have focused blogs running as well. Most of them still lack content, but this month, I'll be putting in extra effort to make it all work.

SabbyMonster.com: A showcase of gadgets, hopefully latest and up to date.
miuki.NET: My journey as a gamer, with games and game related updates.
DigitalSabrina.com: Social media is about sharing and making full use of web 2.0 applications to make things connected.
FamilyofBears.com: Feasting with the bears (Teddybear and myself) as we visit local delights - in the future, foreign ones as well.
Princessa @ OMY: This blog I'm still unsure of. For now, I'm adding titles and teases to entries from my other blogs. I'm unsure what's best, but hopefully as time passes by, I'll figure something out.

Gosh, March is going to be a busy month for me! Okay, after reading everything I've written, I have a feeling not everything will be accomplished after all - I guess this is why there's an editorial calendar. If I am not able to complete everything stated here, please pardon me. Rome wasn't built overnight, and perhaps such restructuring can't be made that quickly either.

Everything that has been mentioned, if not completed in March will be brought over to April. Also, for April 2009, I'm hoping that Canon would be kind enough to grant me access to their products but for now, it is still put on KIV.

PS: One last thing, have I mentioned a new "project" I'm working on with my sisters? Hurhur. A reason for you to come back again and find out more! :P
