There're many, many, many reasons as to why I started blogging. Where oh where shall I start? It's kind of a long list here. But, I'll manage. :) On top of the list would be (1) To kill time and REDUCE boredom. Hah! I'm the youngest in the family. All my sisters are married, have kids, have moved away from here (wherever here is) and are busy with their own lives and family (yes, all in that order). So, I'm the only one left at home with my parents. Not married (not yet though..bila nak kahwin entah ni) though taken (yes, deeply in love) BUT still, I have an ailment called BOREDOMitis (I obviously made that up. Duh!). Heheh! So, in the end, I had to resort to blogging. Just because I have a boyfriend it doesn't mean that he has ALL the time in the world for me you know. Aside from him being THE person and place I could dump all my sorrows to and share my happiness with, I think I could manage an online journal. :) (2) The second reason is to improve my ENGLISH! My vocab has been down the hill since..urrmm..well since I pursued my studies at a local university. ;p I don't blame the university, I blame myself for being too lazy to improve. Then I started writing for awhile, but I got so caught up in assignments, drawings, paper works, drawings (did I mention drawing? ;p) and had to stop all writing activities. I always wanted to be a writer (now that sounded so cliche bleechhh!), but I realize now that EVERYONE wants to be a writer. Soooo, I couldn't and did not want to make it a career. Blogging? I'm fine with it for now. Hey, maybe I could be an academic writer in the future. BUT, first, I would have to improve on my grammar, vocabulary blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda! Now I'm just blabbing due to the lack of good ideas. Hahaha! (3) Like I mentioned previously, I constantly have to UNLOAD all the crap I have in my head, all the nonsensical, uncontrollable emotions I have within me somewhere. I've tried various blogsites, created many accounts but I always tend to forget them after awhile (due to laziness and distractions). Heee! ;p There is a blog at my Friendster account, but it's not active. And I don't intend to make it active. I will do my best to stick to this blog. :) (4) This might sound BORIIIING but I'd like to share my views, personal experiences and daily life with everyone (though not every single detail ok? *smirk*). I enjoy reading other peoples blogs to learn more about human beings (psychologically hahaha), learn more about their culture, the political situation in a certain country and sometimes to trigger ideas for myself. (5) I'm at number 5 already. Let me make this the final one eh? I'll come up with other reasons (be it logical or not) later. The fifth reason is because I want to get to know people. No romantic interests here okay. Just friends from different backgrounds, different religions (NO CULTS THANK YOU!), different cultures.. Well, someone different from me. :) Please no perverts (eeuuww!!). Just friends. I want to and need to widen my knowledge. I am THIRSTY for new knowledge. So, that's about it. Are five reasons enough? I think it should do for now. I will continue later, when I have something more interesting to write about. And to get a better quality of writing. To get that, I need to go to sleep. But before that, a ritual. Talk to myself until I hear myself snore. Oops! Do I snore? ;p Signing off, adlenenelda.
