One year old

Today is Friday the 13th. Eng Ing Eng… It also marks my 1 year of blogging since my 1st post here. What an achievement for me, maintain a blog for a year. I mean I write!, eh no I type, with my England for a year. I can’t even manage to keep on writing my diary while I was at school. I can count it with my ten fingers.

Let me recall the milestone of me getting to blog til now. Another nostalgic entry. I can’t help it, just love being in the nostalgic moment.

It was about 3 years ago when I got to know this incredible thing called blog. I was so curious what is it, how can ppl have their own web page (yourname.com or yourname.blogspot.com - it’s so cool rite? having your name in it), write and post pictures whatever they want. What an online diary. So, I asked my boy and he told me to figure it out myself from blogger. Isshh.. So pelit ilmu one.

I signed up at blogger on June 2004. I did it at a cybercafe if I not mistaken, for I didn’t own a computer at that time. A newbie in blogging, I followed the tutorial for the 1st time user sth like that. I get confused and didn’t understand, found it complicated at that time. I left it and looked for other blog site.

I tried xanga and livejournal. I posted 2 or 3 entries before in each of them. I was kind of panas panas taik ayam towards blogging at that time. So, I never came back to check those anymore, including blogger. Sometimes I search for other blog service and sign up also but never use it or once then leave it untouched.

Then when my boy set his own blog site called ‘Wasblog’ at the end of 2005 I think, I signed up there and started to write for some times before he sold it to other ppl.

Before that, I have an account in Multiply where I always upload and store my pictures there. After a long time, there was this desire to write. I tried the blog service and found it so simple and easy to use. Or maybe my brain’s door that lead to blogging road just opened at that time. September 2005, I started my first post here. From there I also found out the way to insert picture in my entry. I stick to Photobucket to store the pictures that I use for blogging or others until now.

One fine day, I decided to stop using multiply blog’s service and move to blogger instead. The reason I moved is for the more friendly layout I think. Plus the template. Hehe.. So, here I am.

After using dot blogspot for quite some time, I changed and used my own domain name which is my surname. My boy bought it some times ago. Lovely him. At that time he kept on whining - buy already still don’t want to use and leave it there. =P

What drove me to write at the first, is that I want to practice my England, uppss, English I mean. Study graphic design, never write essay or a long paragraph in English, I find that I need to polish and get used to write in English.

The other thing is I want to keep a record, memory, reference for me to read in my free time, or future. I want to leave a mark about life and everything. Because time keeps on going, never stop or pause, and won’t come back. A picture says a thousand words. A great partner to combine with words.

Later on I found the other reason that makes me keeps on writing, which is the writing exercise that I went thru on my first training, APIP. Listen to the music, let it lead me and write. Lying on the bed, think of sth then write. Maybe there is something that I can’t say it out to ppl, maybe it’s a sorry, maybe it’s a thanks, the past, or the feeling of hating myself; whatever it is, I can use writing as the medium to burst out all those. Clear what I want to clear. Say what I want to say. I find it therapeutic though. To keep me from insane.

Now, whenever I have something going on my head, I sure going on like this - OMG! I need to write this down. ASAP.

Since this is my personal blog, I never care about the page rank la, adsense la, all those fancy fancy stuffs la. Although I wanna try it too, ehehe. I see it so challenging, build the blog, maintain, raise it, see the page rank goes high, put ads, then money comes in. $$$$. Ahaha..

Happy friday the 13th, people! Great weekend is waiting ahead. PC Fair, yuhu..
