Don't really know why I started blogging. I remember the first time I really understood what a blog was, was when someone sent me a link to their blog...it was in Chinese. And it was by a 5th grader and a 6th grader. And they have more views and interactions in a day than I have in a month. Nonetheless, most kids their age had blogs, and they also had second daily lifestyle on the net where they interact with peers and adults without any distinction between age. Other than that, I always thought blogs where just internet pages where news reporters wrote about stuff happening in the world, slowly to replace newspapers and feeds to satisfy the need of information in this new age. Or they were a place where someone would post funny pictures or spread information about some movie (alternative to a forum). But it turns out, most of the blogs I've actually been to were just online diaries...they just happened to be in another language (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindu, Spanish you name it). I just happened to come across one of their posts that had some information that I needed through Google or another search engine, or to find download links for songs, MVs, anime episodes etc. American blogs tend to not be about their daily lives, or those that are, those lives are not that normal. Mine is, I'm also asian, and people probably need a way to learn about me...so HERE I GO!
Conclusion: this is a typical asian thing, but a rare american thing...
(lol the first time I ever actively posted on a blog was for writing 1...for a class)
edit: The first few/many posts will come quickly one after another, to get everything I've written down out of the way. Also I don't think I'll ever plan to make this public. It isn't a typical asian blog after all, its my personal feelings. I'm gonna use it to reflect and remind myself.
