Let's Get This Started

Being a class A slacker, I have always postponed starting my own personal blog. Yes, I have regularly written in many personal journals in the past but those contained endless musings and random rants that I think wouldn't really be fit for a public blog. I also write content for a blog that belongs to me and my siblings. I mainly deal with current affairs, beauty, health and the general category. But like I said, your personal blog is an entirely different thing and I haven't really had one yet. I remember signing up on many blogging sites like Livejournal, Xanga and even Blogspot since I was 14 but once registered, I never really returned to any one of them. I don't even remember any of my Usernames now o.O; which just shows how lazy, inconsistent and forgetful I am. I'm pretty sure they're deleted. Anyway, I am starting this blog now and hoping that this time I will miraculously be writing consistently. Let's put my perseverance to a test here, shall we?

So, this first post will have a little introduction about me. Trust me, I hate those "Tell us a little about yourself" questions you are thrown at interviews but I'll try answering. I am a University student, hopefully majoring in International Relations. I have done my GCSE in Sciences and GCE in Humanities. I used to love Sociology partly because I loved the subject but mostly because my teacher was so encouraging and she thought I was an excellent student. I scored an A in Sociology too which actually verified her thinking. That is the reason I opted for Social Sciences in the University but I ended up liking IR more.

I have been a Freelance Writer and Editor online for a website. It was a great experience writing for them for over a year until they did what I had expected of them. They terminated my account one fine day when I was supposed to get my pay within a week. They are not really a scam. My experience deserves a whole post though.

For me, reading and writing are great outlets. The first ever books I can say I really treasured reading was the Harry Potter series. Haha, I'm from the Harry Potter generation, what do you expect? That is when I discovered my passion for reading. I read many random books after that that I lost count and I certainly don't remember the names of any that I read. I might even read the title of a book now and not realize I have read it before. A book that I recently read and absolutely fell in love with was Gone with the wind by Margaret Mitchell. I would recommend it to anyone who loves reading or doesn't even, because it is so marvelously written that you won't be able to put it down. And it's 1100 pages long; in case you don't like short stories that finish before your enjoyment even started!

I love watching movies and seasons. I love music. Oh, and I love photography. I know for one why it's hard for me to describe myself is because I am constantly changing. I find myself with a new interest each day. A new favorite song each day. A new mood each day and hence I can say I'm pretty unpredictable even for myself.

I am an obsessive planner, a great resolver, a big dreamer. But sadly also a chronic procrastinator, low on the motivation department, an obsessive escapist, a slacker and a sleep-lover. I won't say I am not a doer because when things are conducive, I do bring results. However, things have not been conducive for a long, long time. haha. I suppose that's about enough for my introduction. I hope I write again soon.

Adios!
