Truth, Cry, and Lie

"A soft summer rain, a smile that hides a pain
Why should you be ashamed?
'Cause in every life, a little rain must fall."

Where's the Camera?

I've just changed my WordPress header. There is no camera at the top but instead, you will see this:

I made that cubeecraft long time ago. It was then thrown away after covered with ash due to Mount Kelud eruption in 2014.

Student Journalist's Stupid Moment

I've mentioned before that I'm a student journalist. I interview people and I admit that sometimes I do stupid thing while interviewing someone.

In one interview, I shook the interviewee's hand and he looked startled. I then realised that we didn't actually shake hand. It was like, I took (or grabbed) his hand. He was startled then he knew that I wanted to shake his hand so we shook hand. Whoa, I guess I should learn how to shake hand properly next time.

Another time, there were three people. I should do quick interview to three of them. Since I only knew one person personally, I talked a lot to him and talk awkwardly to the other two. That was, I admit, not professional.

I think that's all I can remember. I may write more next time.

Cat Scratch

I like cat.

However, there is a stray cat who often comes to my home and she can be annoying. She's aggressive. She often scratches or bites us with no clear reason and I've just been scratched.

Actually, I won't mind having her as my pet but she can be scary.

Confidence in Blogging (My Confession)

I started this blog in 2013. When I made it, I told three friends who used to blog actively in high school. However, they were no longer high school students so they didn't blog a lot. I also told a Polish friend who then became my only one regular reader. Hey you, thanks for reading my blog.

I didn't share my blog in social media. I didn't join blogging community either. In short, I didn't want many people to read my posts. You may ask, "Then why do you blog if you don't share it to people?" 

The answer is I was insecure. I didn't share my blog to people I knew in real life because I thought they would see it as a blog full of complaint while in fact I just tried to be honest. I didn't join any blogging community online either because I wasn't confident of my writing style and content

This time I join Blogging 101 because I want to learn more about blogging. Beside that, I think it's better for me to show my blog up and get involved more in the community. I also show my blog to more people that I know in real life.

Anyway, I think my writing style doesn't change much. My insecurity about it was a matter of feeling. When I feel comfortable and confident of my blog, then I won't worry about what people think of me and my blog.

My Guilty Pleasure

My guilty pleasure is reading fanfiction. I admit I often read fanfiction. I don't mind telling people that I like it. However, I will never share what fanfiction I read to anyone because 1) some fanfictions are disturbing, 2) some fanfictions are too cheesy, 3) I don't want to ruin someone's imagination by sharing fanfiction that doesn't fit their personal taste, and 4) I somehow feel guilty when reading fanfiction.

Note: I laugh a lot while writing this post.
