hello
I have been toying around with the idea of starting a new blog for a long time. I used to have a blog that I started in 2006 as a documentation of my stay in Springfield, Missouri, which I continued afterwards, blogging mostly about my life and the things that caught my fancy. In retrospect, I realize it was a very self-centered blog which had no real contribution to the public. It was simply a documentation of things and rants and feelings. In retrospect, again, maybe I should have simply kept a personal journal.
During my blogging hiatus, I've read many blogs that I've come to really admire. Most of these blogs are dedicated to the blogger's passion i.e. interior decorating, cooking, eating (which is VERY different from cooking), education, books and fashion. Some blogs don't focus on a particular subject, but are rather discussions of everyday/random issues. What makes these random blogs so appealing is usually the style of writing and, sometimes, the interesting perspectives the blogger offers. Some other blogs are dedicated to reviews of products, places and services. Everyday I say thank you to them for making my life easier by giving me real reviews of products/places/services that I plan to buy/go to. I'd like to thank all these bloggers who have made real impact on my life with their writing.
Fast forward 5 years of studying, graduation, more studying, getting married and graduating again, I'd like to think that my writing and my ideas have grown up a little. My interests have definitely progressed from just myself to the world and people and food and sports and everything else. I guess then that it is time enough to start the documentation again. I'm sure that my co-blogger and husband, Ariff, feels the same way too. I hope this blog will become a document of travel, food, decorating, entertaining, culture, marriage and love, from the perspectives of two different people. I thank God everyday that I have a like-minded someone to share all of this with, all that unfolds from the 14th floor balcony and everywhere else our little feet take us.
