CrissyThoughts: The start of so called 'Blogging'

Holla people!

Welcome to my world. Oh ~ it seems redundant already. I keep on welcoming you (since my about me). It's just so. Haha actually, while I'm writing this first ever post for my blog, I'm shaking. OH~OH. HAHAHA WEIRD. Yea, cos I'm really weird. Hahaha. But serious, maybe because I'm nervous. ~ hahaha sorry let me finish!

Well? Why I started blogging? In these mid time of having a busy work, I still decided to do a blog. It's just I realized that I want to write, to share my thoughts (simple thoughts) with everybody. Having a goal to share, not to be famous. I just want to have fun with my free time!

DISCLAIMER: I'm not a PRO. Ok? :)

Actually, it's quite a long time already since I followed bloggers around the world (Philippines, France, Singapore (a lot!), Malaysia, Korea, Thailand, many to mention!) I just follow them. That's it. Get ideas from them on different things that you will just say, "WOW! AMAZING! DAEBAK! GANDA".

At first, I was like bloggers are for rich people only, they keep on eating, shopping, traveling, they keep on doing this and that with money, but years passed by, I came to sense that it's a big NO! And then I thought blogging is also about getting money, sponsorship, media invites and etc. Again it's a bigger NO! Those are some random thought of this 'blogging' thingy. But one day, I came to my senses and realize ...

Here are some facts about blogging: (reasons why I started this)

DISCLAIMER: It's based pure on my own thoughts and on some readings.

1. Blogging is the space to share your passion.

Yes! Passion. As in passion, the strong amorous feeling towards a thing, like for me are fashion, travel and food, oh also korean lifestyle. In simple terms, doing your interest with love. ♡ You share what you love doing and what you are interested with to other people; the people you care the most, especially friends, family and the future readers that in time will hopefully be your friends. Well, It's nice to create a world like that.

2. Blogging is the space to make your cyber diary.

We all know, internet will not die. I bet million dollar for that! Time will pass internet will grow bigger until the succeeding generations. Now what made me realize to blog? That is I want to keep my memories time to time. Why need blog site if there is facebook? instagram? Cos, they may be like other sites, shutdown and forever be forgotten. So how? My experiences also posted in those sites will be erased in a snap. Unlike if I put on my blogsite, whatever happens I can control. I dont care if no one read or notice my posts, atleast I have the space where I can put into words how I'm happy from my experiences. I have a space I could call my own. I have a space that I could say 'forever bestfriend'. It sounds good right?

3. Blogging is not EASY.

It's really not! A big check. Before I started blogging, it's been a months until I finally decided to continue and work on this platform. It was like I'm preparing to fulfill one of the big milestone in my life. Hahaha it's a bit stupid tho. But it was! You have to say all things in honesty, your emotions need to be share even you may look bad (witch like) or good. The money will not come in easy way. Your website, blogging accesories (camera/laptop), everything you have to look for and ponder. Tho Im not a pro, of course I want to build this space full of experiences and with a nice documentary inputs for my readers. I cannot simply, snap and post.

Also, blogging will cost me a lot of time. 1 hour, 1 day is not enough to make your thoughts. We all know that the pyramids on Egypt was not built on a day and similarly your blog is. You have to be creative in a sense that readers will understand and will enjoy what you're saying about. Not just blah blah and pure of self satisfaction thoughts. There should be something unique from it. Remember that!

Those 3 thoughts makes me realize that this is the start. This is I want. This is I will believe. Hence, you and I of course I'm also a beginner, should remember that:

"Blogging needs a big sacrifice and own it like your another persona. You have to commit, (Yes I'm doing and will do it from this day onwards.). You have to be creative to create a noticibly standard blog that you can be proud of. Also, being a famous blogger is a plus but it's not a must! Be who you are and people will love you for that."

PS: I hope throughout this journey, you will be with me. Thank you!
