EMOTICONS! yay or nay?

ok so the heading tells us that this post is about emoticons... but it's actually not. We'll come to that topic later on.

I've spent the last 15 hours trying to think up of a funny post to put up here and I'm having a mental blank. Before I made this blog I've had so many things to talk about but I've lost them ALL! well the emoticons thing is one of them but it's not really that.. funny. or interesting, in fact. But anyway I'll just talk about stuff for the next few paragraphs

So I've been trying to improve my blog by reading other people's blogs (pretty much stealing their style and ideas) so that its more 'fun' to read. I've realized that many people post pictures and videos in their blog and I reckon that it's a pretty good idea. But I don't know how to post pictures up so I'll just leave that till later.

What I'd like to do in the near future is put up some funny anecdotes about my friends. I'll try to keep them anonymous (well, somewhat. but it's really not that hard to figure out) by using LETTERS to represent their names. Let me introduce you to my 4 closest friends:

E - always pull funny jokes and comments out of nowhere, a person who always thinks positively. I look up to him for his optimistic view of life in general.

J - a super genius child prodigy who succeeds in everything he does. Whipping out corny and lame jokes is his special move. I look up to him for his self discipline and well.. lameness.

G - always fun to be around with, the person I'd turn to when I am having problems and is always there to help me out. Sometimes a little fob like me. I look up to her for her workaholic and 'always putting others' need first than her own' nature.

T - a person who although worries a little, is always giving me a good laugh and with E, they always tend to put up a good show. I do not look up to him. HAHAHA just kidding. The dedication and care he puts towards his friendship with others makes me want to become a better friend to everyone.

OK so that's the introduction, and whenever I come across a funny story of these people I'll post them up.

Now. back to the main topic.

Reading other people's blogs I also see many people using emoticons - pictures/faces created using keyboard characters (e.g. =D). I'm wondering whether I should use emoticons in my blog. For those people who know me, I use emoticons pretty much in every sentence when I type, but I'd like to act more mature and not lame in my blog. But using emoticons are a great way to express emotion, especially for me who always forget adjectives or words that describe.... anything.

So I shall think over this issue that I am faced with, and now I am off to swim! the weather. is. AWESOMEEE!

AU REVOIR

(ps. i've thought about it for 2 seconds, and I've decided to NOT use emoticons)

why hello there

SO.

Lately (well actually since about 5 years ago) I have noticed how everyone's getting into one of these things called 'blogs'. So after a couple of years (again, about 5) of peer pressure I finally gave in to making one of my own and join the trend. Even though the trend has probably changed since about.... 5 years ago.

ok so my name is Adhi. Uni student living in Melbourne and in a nutshell I am a struggler, as what most people would call me. I struggle with everything I do and I really don't mind, since I tend to give everyone a good laugh (haha) and I reckon practice makes perfect right? So in theory, if I struggle often, in a couple of years I won't be such a struggler anymore yeah?! I read over that last paragraph and it did not make any sense, so that's another struggle to add to the list. 

I heard from people that blogs make them feel... SECURE, HAPPY AND SAFE. (wait the first and the third word means the same) well what I'd like to do with my blogs is to make OTHERS feel good about themselves, knowing that there is a dude who struggles more than they do living in this world. 

Most people use blogs to let out their emotions when they're well.. full of emotions. Some just do it for funny ones and some, like I would like to use my blog, use theirs as an e-diary. I discovered this revolutionary (not really) and ground-breaking (yeah, not really) concept from one of my favourite blogs from Indonesia (oh yeah I'm indo, did I forget to mention that?) by a dude who's just a couple of years older than me. The general idea is that he used his blog as a diary that people can read. First I thought, well that's stupid, aren't diaries supposed to be private? But once I start getting into reading it it's actually pretty good. I laughed at his struggles in life, and I plan and hope to do the same to you, readers of this blog.

SO.

That was my introduction, and I hope I didn't bore you with this little ramble on blogs. I promise the next few posts are more interesting. 

CIAO!
