A Bloggy Meme
How long have you been blogging?
~~ Looking up the profile, it said I've started blogging since July 2006. So this mean I've been blogging for 3 years now. WOW and I seriously never knew! I thought it was less then that.
What inspired you to start a blog and who are your mentors?
~~Two person did actually. First it was Darla. I was reading her blog, and find it interesting with those many reviews she written over the years. I thought this was a good place for her to reviews just the way she want to express her real thoughts in books. Since I know she done reviews in other places, and in those places she have to be real careful of what she say without being negatives about it *G*. But I like her honest reviews and trust her given me good recommendation. Which is why I visit her blog daily. I ponder to whether I want to set up blog for myself too. But just couldn't give a reasonable answer to why would I want to, except to only write reviews. Which I stink at. So even when Darla encouraged me to, I put the idea aside - figure I would just do it someday but just not right now. Then my friend Melody, was telling me about her blog. I took a look and thought it was cool. And she try to encourage me to do one. I told her all about Darla's blog and my decision of not doing blog. She continue to encourage me some other days to do it *LOL* - and after a long pro and con decision and visiting Darla's blog again, I finally decided to do set up my own blog. And the rest as they said...is history! And here I am! Thanks Darla and Melody for inspired me! :)
Are you trying to make money online, or just doing it for fun?
~~ Of course not - not to make money! I'm just doing my blog only just for fun, and to write reviews and keep record of all the books I've read over the years. At the beginning of this year, I lost all of my record of books I've read in the last 3 or more years that I saved in my old computer Microsoft words files - but my computer crashed (I've another 'puter though, thank goodness!). So the blog is one of good place for me to keep record. I re-made a new Microsoft words for this year record of the books I've read since January.
What 3 things do you love about being online?
~~ 1. Make friends/keep in touch w/family - whose I have chat with through both emails and IMs chatting. Also through blogging and forums (authors, book club and Yahoo group). I've had made friends over many years, and I'm so glad I found YOU. Thanks to some of you who is like a family to me through all those crazy years. I love ya all! Anyway...being online is a great way to interacted with people and your favorite book authors. Also, it easier to get in touch with your family. I've sister who live a long distance away from us. And the only way to communicate is through IMs or emails. I sure do miss her :)
~~ 2. Shopping online - over the years, I've shopped for books and gifts online. It easier for me without the hassle of shopping from brick malls. Don't get me wrong, I do LOVE to shop in the brick malls but sometime - like during the holidays - it can get crazy with too many traffic, getting step on from angry people and waiting too long in line to get your purchases ring up. I admit, I love to see holidays display in the malls - but ordering/buying what you need is just a mouse click away. So much better to deliver gift directly to people without having to be at the post office too.
~~ 3. Google - You can search whatever you want, whatever you need. It all right there at your finger tip. Very handy - very useful! I do a lot of search all the times and I love it with what I found.
What 3 things do you struggle with online?
~~ 1. Trying not to check my emails the first things, the minute I get online. Did I mention I love emails? hehehe.
~~ 2. Sometime the things I search for, isn't given me too many information that I need. Or finding that the price of shipping costs for products were too high, which made my hair fly and burn out ;) I had to make decision if I want to go ahead to order it or not
~~ 3. Trying not to give out/away too much information about myself online :)
*say very quickly and out of breath* talkaboutbeingparanoid...hehehe
