I found your blog through POPPY's "why we blog" link. Too bad I missed everybody elses' postings... :) Anyway, thought it's a good idea to share why I blog.
I'm the biggest fan of all home/interior/decor magazines. I'd search any interesting, creative items from the magazines on the www, and my browser's bookmark list became a long and real messy one. It's still messy now, btw.
But I can't share this excitement with anybody around me here, simply because my circles are around IT and Finance people. None of them in any sorts of creative fields, and we just never talk about these. Don't get me wrong, I came from IT background as well, and my circle of ppl here are good friends of mine. So I'm not saying I'm in a wrong circle of friends. I just felt the need to create a new circle with ppl who are really into creative things. And being a mother, it's hard to find time to get to know others here. I figured it's easier and faster, of course, to start on www.
it was around the same time that blogging news was filling up local newspapers and tabloids in Singapore. After I found out what blogging is and searched for creative blog sites, I realized I should start blogging, too, and share my favorite things on www. And I'm glad I did. Now I'm meeting ppl with same interests thru my blog and others' blogs. It's a real fascinating journey for me, and I never wish it to end. :)
That's my story. :) Thanks for giving me a chance to share it here. ;-) and of course, thanks to Jan for linking me here. Cheers.
