What is a blog?

The world "blog" is actually a shortened form of "Weblog Usage"
According to www.dictionary.com, the word "blog" means "an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a Web page; also called Weblog, Web log". (Bored yet?)

For example: "Typically updated daily, blogs often reflect the personality of the author." (How 'bout now?)

SO... here I am, starting out as a baby blogger trying to "reflect my personality" to the rest of the world wide web. How do I start? Where should I start? Why would I want to start this online journal anyways?

Ahhh...I guess that's how it all began.

I've been over the seas for a couple of years. Since then, I've lost touch with a couple of old friends. E-Mail is great and all, but being a microwave generation, it still takes too long to write and update one person.

I could do the mass mailing thing, but I'm not a fan of that. Too impersonal to the names that are on the CC list. Plus, the receiver might not give a d*mn about why I'm allergic to the cold and how I used the hairdryer to scratch my itch.

So now that I'm back home in Malaysia, I've still have not caught up with all of my friends. Not because I've been lazing around on my ass all day (well not really), but because I've moved to another state. Phone numbers have changed, E-Mail addresses have been abandoned, and gas prices has shot up.

Conclusion...if you can't beat them...blog with them.

So here I am. I've filled out the blog entry forms, cracked my head on the name that is going to reflect the author of the blog, and finally ... I've been initiated into the blogging world with a password to ENTER...ENTEr...ENTer...ENter...Enter...(err...that was a lame attempt to interpret the sound of an echo).

Time to catch up then.
