The Beginning

Everyone has a blog. To be more exact, every young person who is connected to the modern lifestyle writes blogs. It comes just as natural as breathing, listening to IPOD and carrying the latest model of cell phone.

After visiting my friend’s interesting and ingenious blog, the temptation to open one myself is as strong as my crave for chocolates. However there are some resistance. Do I really feel comfortable opening up myself for everyone to see or to know? If the contents is not genuinely true about me, then it is no point putting up. What is the meaning of inventing something that does not represent me? That’s hypocrite.
Next question : Is there anybody really wants to know what I have to write? I doubt so. To start with, I am not particularly special nor interesting. I do not have special life experiences that could be inspiring to others. There are no places that I have travelled so far or so deep that others could learn something from. The paltry talents that I possess are even less reason for someone to get interested. I mean, who will be impressed by someone who can finish 200gm chocolates in 1 minute?

But perhaps somewhere out there, someone, even just one, for some unknown reason, who is interested in what I have to write, then this is for you.
