Hi.
To be honest, I’ve sort of forgotten how to do this.
I first got into blogging back in 2004. It was just a few of my friends first but soon enough practically everyone in my journ major had a blog, and those little tag-board things that we posted comments and inside jokes in (this was before Facebook). And I made layouts and wrote HTML code that was “best viewed in” 1024×768 on … Internet Explorer 6.0.
Back then, whenever anything remotely noteworthy happened, my first instinct was to blog about it, and I pretty much never had to think about how to do it. But now it feels sort of weird. I’m going to have to get used to this again.
Anyway, here’s a quick run-down of the things that have happened since I stopped blogging.
Past couple of years
I got a job writing English-language textbook material for Korean students, got involved in a fair amount of office drama, got into cosplaying.
Past year
I got tired of the whole cosplay endeavor as well as my day job. So I quit both.
I also bought an SLR and started learning photography.
Past couple of months
Nearly lost my mom to a heart attack in January. No doubt the scariest and most trying time I’d ever had to go through, because she is the most important person in my life, not to mention my only remaining parent. She survived it, thank God, and although it’s still a constant struggle to keep her health out of danger. As of now I’m happy that she’s strong enough to make weekly trips to SM Bingo and fight valiant battles against the zombies on her lawn.
I also made my way out of the daily office grind and started working freelance. It’s fun–I hang out at the mall a lot, develop crushes on my regular baristas, and never know what day it is.
Past couple of weeks
My mind was thoroughly consumed by a game called NinjaTown, a tower-defense game for the DS, and I held fast to the statement that they took everything I like in life and put it in a game (ninjas, strategy gameplay, caffeine addiction, absurdity). I beat the game–with an A ranking in all 36 stages–within 1 week, and was sincerely saddened when I found out that the sequel title, NinjaTown: Trees of Doom, is an iPhone game with no DS version. I’ve devoted the past few days to spreading the addiction and to force-lending my DS to anyone I can corner.
A Business Ninja from NinjaTown. He likes caffeine as much as I do.
So there.
I can’t tell you what to expect from this blog, because I myself don’t know, but I’ll try my best to keep it entertaining (because I am outwardly individualistic but deep down I am a sucker for approval HAHAHA). And I’m going to try to update often. So I hope to shake these new-blog jitters soon, and I hope you keep me company.
Love and ninja cookies,
Liz
