First Anniversary

On the 25th of August last year, I took the first step. I started my blog. For the first few months, I was just swatting flies due to lack of content. Soon, I started learning and my writing started to evolve. 36 blog entries later, I can really see the difference. This difference also reflects on how I've grown as a person. A lot has happened in this past one year, events that have cumulatively changed my life. And you, my blog readers, have been aware of the subtle emotional undercurrents I've had.

I got an overwhelming response for 3 out of these 36 entries. The times I went off on a different theme- my life- my friends liked it. Those 3 entries were A Letter to God, The Reply and Happy Birthday to Me. Little did I know when I started my blog that I'll be sharing my personal life here. I was against it, as a matter of fact. Now, my inhibitions have been lowered. I'll write about myself.

Rather than I talk about myself, I'll let someone else do the talking. A few days ago, I was chatting with one of my friends, and she happened to mention that she's very intuitive. I asked her to predict my character. This is it in her own words:

"You love being alone, but can't be without people either, only few people who care about you. Friends, friendships and love are very important to you but you don't show it out. You will do anything for a friend or for someone you love. If something happens, the first person you'll blame is yourself. You want to achieve something great in life and you are capable but you doubt yourself and you compare yourself with others all the time and that can be a setback."

I'll add one more thing she told me. When I told her about my pathetic love life (don't ask) she says she believes I'll find someone who loves me and cares about me, and that she will chase after me....

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, BLOG!
(I know it's a few days late but it's the month that counts :P)

PS> Read Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. It deals with intuitive reasoning.
