New Stuff

Hello again! Whew I've been wanting to blog but as usual life happens haha. Anyway I'm not gonna talk about my new year resolutions and goals here. I've done that in my journal :P But I want to talk about something else; new blogging habit! Okay not exactly new but there are some stuff that I want to do differently in this year. And nope I'm not going to blog a hundred posts again or something heh.

So firstly yes I will not set any goals again for my blogs. No number of posts, nothing. But I want to do something more - and that is talk about the happenings in my life more frequently! And this is of course, only if there's something exciting happening haha. Not gonna blog about the boring stuff. 

I realised that I mostly blog (and journal) about my thoughts, and feelings, and topics that I want to talk about. But pretty rarely blog about the happenings in my life. And it's quite hmm, sad. I mean sure there aren't many interesting things that happen in my life. That's the main reason to why I don't blog about it. But also I feel that my blog should be a place where I can look back and reminisce on the different events that are happening in my life. And not only on a personal level, but global level too.

I was inspired by my journals actually. Back in my poly days when I started journaling, I journaled a lot about the daily happening in school. Well not everyday but you know the random stuff happening. And it brings back pretty good memories and feelings. And so yes I hope to do that in my blog too. So that in the future I can look back on my posts and happily reminisce. Not just read about my thoughts.

I don't know, perhaps it can be small things like birthdays, or events, or when I try some good food. 

Which brings me to my next point. I think more photographs! Usually, and also weirdly, I try not to post just photos. Cause to me a post should be filled with words, and not photos. Like maybe... I should create a special blog for my photos. But no, I don't have time for that. So yeah maybe more photos entries. Random sky, random food, random whatever. I think it's gonna make my blog more interesting.

Last but not least, prompts. So as mentioned last year, I joined a group on Facebook called The Isolation Journal which was created by Suleika Jaouad. We receive prompts to our email and some of the prompts are pretty interesting. Some are pretty personal questions and I don't feel comfortable sharing it here in the blog, so I write it down in my journal. Prompt is a good method to keep the creative juices flowing. I think I can do more of this. to keep this blog alive heh.

Alright I guess that's all for now. Here's to more writing in this blog. Stay safe and healthy!

Happy New Year 2021!

Hello hello, first of all just wishing you a happy new year 2021! Here we are on a brand new year after such a crazy 2020. The pandemic isn't over yet. We shouldn't let our guard down. But I think it's fair to say we have a bit of hope in this brand new chapter. Vaccines are rolling out as I'm typing this. Indonesia is going to begin vaccinating health professionals next week (even though we don't know the efficacy of the Sinovac vaccine, yet). But please stay safe and healthy everyone.

As usual, as seen from my 2020, I'm not going to set any blogging goals for this year heh. It was expected of me to blog less than a hundred posts last year mwahaha. And it's kinda nice. I didn't feel pressurised to blog a certain number of posts. But as always, I'm going to continue blogging. Even if it's just one post a month. Hopefully not haha. And I might be doing some new stuff!

Alright this is just a real short post. I'm going to continue on another night about my plans. Have a great 2021 ahead everyone. Stay safe and take care as always.
