Blogging history: I’ve been writing online journals in a semi-regular basis since my sophomore year of high school, so that’s about 7 year’s now. I started at OpenDiary.com, then switched to the now-defunct Diary-X. I’ve been with Diary-X for 4 years until the whole site unexpectedly crashed and gone away with it to the winds of cyber space were my 300something entries over the most tumultuous and interesting days of my adolescence and young-adult life. It was really hard to lost my journal entries. I considered them as one of my most precious possessions. They’re my “little trophy.” But I guess things happen for a reason and one has to learn to let go at some point. After the Diary-X disaster, I was quite homeless and a hermit for a while when it comes to having an online writing home. I tried LiveJournal, Eponym and Blogger, but couldn’t seem to fit in. Then I found WordPress and I hope this will be it.

This Blog: Blogging is actually a new term for me since I’ve always referred to the thing as journaling, and most of the time I still seem to do so. I also write kind of long entries most of the time, which is one of the reasons I think I’m inclined to call it a journal instead of a blog. But whatever this thing is, blog or journal, I do this for a reason that most people also have – to have an emotional outlet in life. Writing can be a really good therapy, and it’s for free! All this white space is my hideout, where I can babble whatever I feel like it, where I can be myself freely. I’m also into memories and that kind of stuff so this serves as my documentation of life’s happenings and also some events going on in our world. I love getting comments from anyone, so you are all welcome. :-) I also love reading other blogs and chances are, I’ll return the favor.

Disclaimer/Warning/Or whatever :-): My blog/journal is also my way of making sense of myself while living a life full of ups and down, and most of the time I tend to complain A LOT, even at things that don’t need to be complained about. I know it’s a bad thing and I’m trying to eliminate it from myself but since this is my so called “emotional outlet,” complaining can sometimes be an unavoidable normal thing to do around here. So brace yourself.
