My first blog

Before you read, I just want to say, this is my first attempt at writing a blog. Everyone seems to be doing it. I for one like to read a blog, not all though. Only those which I think are worth reading. And I’m not good with words either. Hence why I just read. What makes me want to start blogging you might ask?

It hit me when I was driving to Kudat. I normally go outstation alone and during those time spent reaching my destination, my head will start to wander off, thinking about this and that, remembering my old times, daydreaming. Daydreaming? While driving? Trust me, when you spent almost 3 years driving here and there, it’s possible. A good remedy if you’re sleepy while driving. That’s when it hits me. What if I write down what I thought and feel into a blog.

What if I make a fool of myself? Being a computer geek, I came across “10 ways to become a better blogger”. It did give me some insight on how and what to blog. You can make an income out of it too!!! Not for me. Well not for me yet. After managing my borneokraf.com [link remove because I no longer operate the website], I think I know how to do it.

The first thing before you blog is to define a purpose. Yeap got that one covered. Then you need to have a proper tool. Let me see now, I got my laptop, my hand and my head. Kewl. What else? Stay in one place. Good, stick to Friendster haha. Engage your reader. Friendster already covered that. Establish a blogging schedule. Promise will work on it. I’m a busy man. Engineer day time, web designer night time, teaching students to defend themselves in the weekend. Not to mention spending quality time with my fiancée. Oh well, I’ll work it out, eventually. Keep it concise. I will work on that also hehe. Proofread before publishing. I let my fiancée read it first. She’s an English teacher. Kewl.

Before I finish off my blog, I have 4 people to thank. You guys inspired me to start a blog. Well, thank you, Phyllis, Titanium, Aporn and Alvira [link to these blogs removed because it is hosted on defunct Friendster]. Keep on blogging guys!
