Because writing is liberating

Do I consider myself a writer?

Yes. Truthfully saying, I do. People who know me personally might think I am being cocky after being able to publish my debut book recently. But, frankly speaking, the title as a book writer (well, if some people even consider to call me that) is not that huge for me, maybe because I am not recognized that well by people in the industry as well as the public reader (maybe not just yet). I only consider myself as a real writer when I write in this blog.

 There are a few reasons I want to continue blogging after I had left this blog for quite some time.

  1. I want to ease all the monologues inside my head. I might not be a kind of person who is loud  on the outside but my head sometimes do have all sorts of things to talk about that my sleep gets distracted at times because I don't talk about it with others. So, the options are to talk about it aloud with anyone or anything, or to write them down. Considering I rarely share my thoughts verbally and I am not the sort that talks to cats or flower plants, I guess the second option seems more applicable.
  2. To share my inner thoughts and feelings. I know that most people who blog or write have the same kind of reasoning of why they write. For me, it is more to connect with people who feel that they have no one to talk to; I'm sending the message that I can be a friend. If I share with you my bad days, it is to say that all of us have problems but, of course, with diverse degree of difficulty. However, the fact that we choose to live, the fact that we choose life, somewhat makes us a hero to our own story. If I share with you my happy days, it is to make you realise that dreams do come true, even for someone who is unknown like me. If I share with you some things that are totally random, it is just that I want you to listen to me as  a friend.
  3. I just want to practise my writing. As much as I want to believe that I have the gift to write, this gift can easily get rusty without constant practice.

 Some people might have the view that blogging is such a waste of time. Sometimes I can't help but to think the same as well. However, I always remind myself, whenever I have that kind of thoughts, that maybe me writing here will neither gain myself an income to make a living nor make myself known as an established writer/blogger, but if it makes me feel good and that it doesn't harm anyone including myself as well as it makes people value life better, then I'll not stop. I'll keep writing. Even if I only have a single audience to entertain. If God wills, I'll try to write continuously.

'Pecal' anyone?

At first, I didn't really know how this 'pecal' looked like and of course how it tasted would be beyond my limited cognitive capacity to imagine. It was until I finally tried this dish with one of my friends. It was an unplanned occasion actually. Usually, I don't like the idea of unplanned activities. Everything has to be in my schedule. But that day, I lowered my ego and from being my usual 'planned-person' to just a friend to someone.  This pecal dish looked like what I would consider as humble. A little bit of that kampong look. But it had its pride on its portion. I ate this at around six in the evening and it took me around 9 or 10 a.m. the next morning to eat breakfast. I am the kind of person that like to eat my breakfast early. But somehow I felt quite full that morning, the day after eating pecal . Simply saying, it was a really truly filling meal I've ever had in campus with such a price! Seriously saying, some of the food here are pre

Dear Photos, Speak Your Words

Autumn in my heart. Eh? When my lecturer assigned us to create our own blogs, this was on of the things that came to my mind. To capture this scenery and post it on the blog. This was when it was ' 'autumn'  in the campus. Also, the reason I took this flower blooming tree was because one of my seniors asked for one. She must be truly special for me to go through the odds of taking these photos as I have this habit of not feeling comfortable to snap pics when there are people around. I had to wait for a few minutes to really come to this distance and snap it as there were students who were busy with their cameras too. I thought I had went out of my hostel early enough to avoid all of these disturbances. Well, I guessed I was wrong. It somehow came to my marvel how nature brought people together. In a way. This was my initial distance from the tree as this one student was busy taking pics of it -_-. It looked like snow from the distance, right? From that day o

Finally

At 12.44 a.m., April 10, 2015, I create this blog. It is mainly for the assignment purpose actually. However, I've dreamed of writing in a blog for quite some time. Just that a few issues came all the way like I was tired thinking of what the subjects of my writing should be; whether to focus on one thing or just cramp everything and anything in it. It had come to the extent that I was too tired of making up my mind that I thought I was going nowhere with it and decided to not create one.  To blog or not to blog, that's the question.  Nevertheless, here I am, writing in the middle of the night, finishing my articles mainly for  my assignment. Then, I'll consider whether to continue writing or stop halfway. Whatever it is, welcome to my blog peeps :)  p/s: Thanks buddy for the guide. I really don't know how to start a blog at the first place.
