Blogging: A whole new experience...

Blogging...
Being the not-so-pc-savvy person whom i am, the term blogging just wouldn't come across my mind as something i would like to try on. The fact that i don't even have an active friendster account proves just how pc-illiterate i can be. Blogging is definitely the last thing i would try in my campus given the condition that the access to internet is really bad!! I would rather spend my time, watching super thrilling anime episodes such as Naruto and Bleach...

It was days after my final examination that i came across some of my friends' blogs that trigger my interest in blogging. Initially, i thought it as a good platform to 'showcase' my achievements and things that i am currently running. I thought all bloggers are supposedly people with good language and writing skills who would like the whole world to know their accomplishments. Good place for the 'kiasus', so to say. I was thinking, if these people can make a big deal out of a simple html file, i can do it too. It shouldn't be a surprise why a i would have this kind of mentality considering the level of 'kiasu'ism embedded in every cells of my body. For the first time in my life, i spent hours in creating this new online manuscript. As for the first post that i published, i chose one of the reports which i did for a trip i organized mid this year. i didn't even bother to create any new thoughts.

Life changes, perspective changes, as nature changing courses go by... I was trying to elevate my 'kiasu'ism to another level by researching and looking into different blog to improve my very own blog. I have to admit that i didn't even have any inspiration on what to pen on until i got into one of my friend's blog called, "Me, Myself and I." It was then I realised that blog can be just as simple as can be. Things that touches my heart from the blog is the simplicity and the spontaneity of thoughts being penned down. It doesn't have to any great accomplishments, nor it has to be of any special topics. Little do i realize that one's thinking can be so shallow when you let ego takes its place.

I now view blog differently. This is going to be my accounts of a fulfilling life, and also of life being as simple as it is... This is going to be my personal diary shared with the public. Sharing thoughts and emotions is undoubtedly one of human's greatest joy...

2 days passed and i already fall in love with blogging. To all my visitors out there, let's join me into this whole new experience...
