Assalamualaikum... Hi, hello, good morning, selamat pagi..
Perhaps I'll make it simple this time. I am so complicated, have always been a complicated person with a complicated way of thinking and sometimes I make people shake their heads because of the stupidity I often commit or the sarcastic comments coming out from my mouth. Another complicated way of referring to this post. Such a regular me :)
Maybe, oh no, another similar sentence starter, people think of me as not having things to do, such a time wasting individual, all she does is just blogging, doesn't she have a kid to feed or laundry to do or dishes in the sink?
I DO. I DO have all those chores and errands every day. I'm just a normal mom, a jobless mom, a stay-at-home mom with a kid that's not even two and a half years old.
The thing is, I get out of bed way earlier than my daughter, normally some time before four to offer prayers for the Greatest and after that my blogging process begins. So, Kei is usually still dreaming in bed when I am in the middle of browsing random things and information online.
Other people's blogs are seriously gorgeous. I am amazed by their abilities of making their sites to be likely to be visited. What often makes me fall deeply in love with blogs are the customized fonts, background, header, and sometimes photos included in their posts (normally these apply to fashion bloggers). And what usually happens is that I want to make my blog page(s) to look as beautiful as theirs.
I wanted (well, am still dying to know) to create something like theirs, how? I browsed through so many blog applications, widgets, tutorials, videos on how to’s, etc. I, in the past, tried to put a number of blog buttons and widgets on my page because I thought they would make my blog look pretty, too. Eventually they grew me tired and it was just too crowded. So I deleted most, and ended up with the current one.
When I accidentally come across blogs which don’t have all these beauty features, my eyes go directly to the blog posts, I repeat, DIRECTLY, and their posts make me fall in love as well. Especially posts that trigger my subconscious mind into conducting an in-depth-thinking, posts that make me say “Aha, I have been doing it all these times”, or posts that literally make me recall my wrongdoings.
Honestly, blogging is supposed to be somebody’s means to sommunicate their thoughts, and it should eventually make the blogger feel as if s/he has talked to a good friend who is also a great listener. A good friend who doesn’t judge or blame. Blogging shouldn’t stress you out. When I feel like blogging, I can end up making three different posts in a day, and they range from my thoughts, opinions of stuff, or just about kei. One of Indonesia's former president, Mr. B.J. Habibie started writing after his beloved wife, Mrs. Ainun Habibie passed away. In his book he mentioned that one of the ways suggested by doctors to make his sadness and loss slowly ease out is by writing. and he did, and he became better and fulfilled. and he wrote about what he loves most, his wife.
When you write about things you do enjoy, it'll be an easy process.
I am not a beauty blogger since I don’t collect beauty products or know how to look ten years younger or create dolly eye look with make-up.
I am not a fashion blogger because I also don’t follow fashion trends. I wear what I see in my closet, though sometimes the urge of spending money on clothing items is so irresistible I can’t bear it. And I have no idea whatsoever about how to mix and match tops and bottoms. Shirt / T-Shirt + Jeans / Pants + Flat shoes / wedges / heels are the only things I purchase on purpose. I hardly ever want to buy dresses since I don’t think I will fit nicely in any :p
I don’t blog food recipes, the main reason for this is because I don’t cook, other than simple fried dishes or instant noodles.
When I want to blog, I just sit on the floor half a meter from my bed, while still being able to keep track on Kei, turn on my lappy, think of whatever it is in my head that can’t be expressed in speech, and then my fingertips start dancing on the keyboard. Blogging shouldn’t make me think too hard, because it won’t be flowing smoothly and instantly.
My blog has been a replacement for my diary. Being a kid, my most loved pastime was to be taken to a bookstore. It’s like haven. I love, so in love, with diaries, particularly the ones with a pretty cover. I used to write nearly about anything every night before going to bed.
Well I have got to stop blabbering now :p I don’t want to make a novel here, detest the idea of creating a post too long to be read in such a short time :-)
Here's my daughter having her brekkie after her long sleep while I was finishing today's post :-]
