I thought it'd be a good idea to close the blog and begin a new one. New beginnings. The past few days, in brunei especially got me thinking about a lot of things.
It seems to me that life has changed so much that I didn't want new entries and reflections to change the tone/mood/maturity of the old blog which for the past 5 years has been collecting memories worth reminiscing.
Change. It's a word that I've always been afraid of. But you can never run away from it. Not the word that is . I'm 19 now, graduated from JC, closed a rather extensive chapter of my life. A milestone, a checkpoint in life if you will.
I think it would be a good idea to set some things straight in this blog for the record. A guideline for me for which to follow.
1. Like the title says, I'll be as frank as possible.
2. I'll be honest with myself.
3. I'll speak my mind (ha there's a catch here, provided I don't involve myself in any complex controversial issue that may get myself in trouble. But then again the blog is unlisted so I'll wonder how that works out)
I'll stick by these rules for now. By the way, and the present moment, I don't plan on letting the whole world know about this blog. But somehow if you are reading it, I don't write to an audience.
I've always had a problem answering the question: why blog? And there are times where I feel as if the answer eludes me, yet there are times where I feel so strongly about my reasons.
To me, we are now living in such a fast paced lifestyle that its difficult to keep things in check or wonder where things are going. Personally I'd like a place where I can collect thoughts, pen them down, something, someplace that remains where it is amidst the transient environment that surrounds us. A place to retreat, take a pause, and look back. Then forward.
I'll begin posting about Brunei soon. But I also have so much else to talk about. Changes in my life in general. In my perspectives and all.
Till then.
