The Transparent Life

One thing about blogging is that you have to understand that everyone and anyone can read your blogs. Something I don’t actually worry about too much. I used to consider myself a bit on the complicated side, but since I’ve been blogging I think I’ve tried my best to be more open about things.

Blogs are an interesting thing. Especially personal blogs like mine that don’t have any real “agenda” to it. I’m not hawking anything except for my own self-worth as a writer. I don’t often talk about whether or not I have a political agenda, my stance on things like …abortion (actually, my stance is: I’m not a woman, I shouldn’t decide). Often people stumble across my blog because they know me or my writing.

Most of my posts are personal ramblings and I wouldn’t change it in any way. I’m not writing/blogging for anyone else except for myself. It’s a glorified diary here on the internet. And you have access to it.

I don’t mind. I’ll admit I still have that secret need to become an E-List celebrity. I’m not aiming too high. E seems obtainable. But either way, people I’m sure will still look at my blog and wonder.

My Tweet Updates for 10/3 – 10/10

I’m not sure if I’m going to keep this idea going, but it was kinda fun recording this.

And as a special treat for you website readers, my blooper reel. I’ve placed it as an unlisted video on Youtube, so only you special three (or four) can watch it!

Copycat much?

I’ve been trying my best to figure out ways on improving my own personal website. You know keeping you updated on my daily musings. So while my tweets show up on the left, and the cute bar of photos are above (which I don’t spend enough time on) I figure I try something else to get more exposure to my articles: copy a fellow TV Squadder’s personal website…to an extent.

One (if not several) of the other squadder’s posts links like blog updates. I realized, “Hey! That’s not such a bad idea!” So I’m play testing it this week. I mean, it’s not plagiarism because it’s my own articles. I could have thought about it myself… We’ll see how everything turns out and if I’m actually dedicated enough to actually get on the ball.

I like my website. The design is questionable, but that’s because I like rearranging things often. Stagnancy with websites is silly, people change, design aesthetics shift, and the like. Even my alma mater has changed their website, logo, and added (or replaced, I’m not too sure) their mascot. Sadly their new mascot, Hugo, will be called “Hurley” in my head.

Heyyy! Long time no see!

I know, I know…I own a blog. I should probably use it. I’ve been pre-occupied with three things:

- Designing some stuff for Jam Asia – Fashion scene…harajuku wedding…a lot of stumbles
- Grad School – Just applying is a toughie. I hate my personal statement, but it needs two more revisions until I’m confident about it.
- General Life – You know…sometimes you forget you have a blog. I swear I know I should have updates, but I forget. Sorry.

Here you go: to make you feel better:

Oh Asians…
