the inaugural post

dear future self,

here we go, the inaugural post.

sometimes, actually i lied,  quite often, i wish i have something tangible to look back on to reminisce the past, the ups and downs, the different phases of my life. i love blog surfing because i enjoy reading what other people have to say about life or just about anything. i’m envious of people who have blog entries to read and photos attached to their entries that tell them what happened on such and such day.

the idea of keeping an online blog has been on my mind for quite a while (years maybe?). i pitched the idea to Jim who suggested that i start keeping a diary, you know, the traditional type you hand write. he suggested this because an online blog is readable by everyone and anyone in the world. there is no privacy.  i contemplated writing a diary but i’m no good with diary writing. i have really bad handwriting and you can’t attach pictures to your diary entries like you do with an online blog. i guess you can, it’s just not instantaneous unless you own a photolab. on top of that, you can’t “backspace”, “delete” and “rephrase” when you are hand writing your diary entries. after much thoughts, i decided to start an online blog. i wanna stop feeling envious over what other people have and i wanna start creating something for myself. something i can read in the future to reminisce. i hope it’s not too late and i hope my future self will be thank me for this.

ok, the first post is done. now the next challenge is to keep writing...
