YThe Beginning
All right, so this is my blog.
It's a lot easier than my previous site, because i've taken a step down and just signed up at blogspot instead of creating a whole new site on frontpage. But at least i know how to do it now :)
So it's cleaner, more user-friendly and less unique, but i'll live with that. i guess i don't really need something unique, i just need something easy to navigate and update.
Being me, you'll get lots of smileys :) even though that might not reflect my mood. it's just a comforting thing; i sort of smile to reassure people that i'm not angry at them because i might get quite melancholy and then people will wonder if i'm depressing myself out, but don't worry, i'm not. i'm just sorting out things in my head by writing them, because to me writing is therapeutic.
It's pretty late at night and i don't know why; i just felt compelled to get a new blog and write. i have ting xie to study for; i need to pass at least one so my teacher won't think i'm not working. i have dance AGM to plan for, and a treasury to account for, but things can be put off because i need time with myself and God.
I got this blog because of Dan.
Okay, before your head swells up and you can't walk through your bedroom door later, Dan, it's mostly because of what you said in your blog. You see, tonight, a few hours ago, i went online to check my mail and got distracted by your blog. i liked the clean format (much better than mine) and i'd found it through Gilly's and so i decided to read. i read all your entries, because it's not superficial rubbish like some blogs, it actually has a purpose and it set me thinking about my relationship with God.
I decided i don't really like my previous blog. There were just things that bothered me. i asked myself, "do i want people to see me as God-fearing or cool?" because i had created pretty nice site, and i liked the pictures and everything in it, but something about it bothered me. i guess maybe i like simplicity.
The people who visited my previous blog can now sigh in relief. no more messy navigating and waiting for the pics to come out! just pure, simple blogging. Lots of thoughts.
So the introduction to my online journal:
Of course you wouldn't expect me to write every single thing that comes to my mind. Although the stuff i'll write in here will be pretty much private, what's the logic in that when the internet is the most public thing you can think of? the thing about me is that i don't really give myself much privacy. when something bothers me, if it bothers me enough you will hear of it sooner or later. so i don't really mind giving too much information...i think.
i'd like to think of this blog as a place like my bedroom in real life. a place where i go to journal and think and discover things. However, i think if i keep writing my parents will discover that i am way past my bedtime so i should end this soon.
I hope i keep this journal going, unlike my previous one (which you can still visit at www26.brinkster.com/mixedmedia. but i'm not very proud of it because of all the huge graphics and other stuff). it's not going to be very regular, i think, but i should be able to squeeze in entries at least once a week. long, long entries, so people like me will be glad to read them.
I'll try to blog again sometime this week; give you a feel of myself. And hopefully change the layout. Orange isn't exactly my favourite colour (i'm a pink girl :)) See you around, though.
God bless you and keep you and let His light shine upon you. :)
