I wasn't sure if it was worth doing a personal blog as to the blog I am doing for the Fierces. But I felt it was time to share my personal thoughts away from the Fierces blog and decided to create this. Anyway, let me start by sharing why I was hesitant to open a personal blog.
When I was in grade school, I was taught the beauty of writing in notebooks, journals and diaries. I still maintain a personal diary up to this date and this allows me to continue exploring the personal writing through strokes and design. For me, sharing my personal thoughts online was a bit worrisome because cyberbullying has been rampant nowadays and plagiarism as well. While I lift paragraphs and texts from various sources, I make sure to credit and acknowledge them. Anyhow, to share myself with the cyberworld would be opening the possibilities of harsh criticism which I have experienced in my job as a writer. I am a very emotional person and suffice to say, things follow.
Yet however, the cyberworld has also given me the possibilities of letting myself be known as one of many voices in a particular topic or issue. I want to share my thoughts of the places I have been, the food I have tried, the people I have met and adventures I have embarked on. If I am vocal on Facebook and Twitter, why should I not share myself through a blog. From here on, this space will show the world what I feel; happy, sad, frustration and even anger. Through this space, I will share with you my love for books, movies, music, culture, travels and even issues I am very vocal about. This space will become my therapy from the madness of a career in publishing and oh yes, did I mention that I am a huge fan of Korean Pop Music? Yes, I will be writing about my love for the Land of the Morning Calm, which I have learned to embrace when I stayed there for 3 weeks in 2011. This post is just the beginning and truly I am about to start chronicling my emotions and adventures.
Love lots,
