It's been two years since I posted something in this blog.
For months after I posted the Sword Art Online anime review, I've been in a blogging hiatus. For one, I was so busy with high school that blogging have gone to the darkest corner in my brain. I thought for sure that my experimental experience of being a blogger is done.
Then November last year, it resurfaced in my mind. I have already graduated high school and was having my semestral break in college. I am an incoming second year Accounting student now. Somehow, in between being bored at looking at all the stupid nonsense that I see in Facebook, I remembered the glory days of my blog. This blog. My first blog.
I opened it up and looked at it.
I was so enthusiastic. Everything I wrote here were definitely for fun. However, I cringe at the grammatical mistakes I've made here and there. And, yes, the abundance of "What Am I Doing?" despite the fact that no one actually bothered to follow me here or care about what the heck I'm doing.
So I created another blog with my new email and the email address that I use all the time now. Why, you may ask? Let's just say that I "dumped" this account. And it's amazing how I can still remember the password for this account, actually.
But then, two posts published in the new blog and I thought, "Man, I'm outta here."
It's not so much that I hate Blogger, really. But it lacks the interaction between bloggers that attracted me to Wordpress.
If you would like to check out my new blog, it's called Plethoric Thoughts.
I talk about numerous stuff here. Basically, anything that I want to talk about. But, unfortunately, nothing manga or anime related.
It's not that I've stopped reading manga or watching anime. Heck, I'm still not over with Ao Haru Ride, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, Kaichou wa Maid-sama, and Hirunaka no Ryuusei being complete and finished.
But I've decided on talking about the stuff that I like other than anime. Books, music, movies and random rants about social media and other things personal.
I want to improve my writing skill (even if it doesn't have anything to do with my degree program, really) and creating topics and writing stuff that would entertain people. And I want them to stay and follow me because they love the stuff I write about. But I don't want to have just one single niche all because a lot of the Blogging 101/ tips & tricks articles say it's the "key of a successful blog".
I tried single niche with this blog and the thing is, it made me feel like I was committing myself to a job and not a hobby.
I want to write something even with all the stress and torture thrown to me by college. I want to make the blogosphere, this spectacular community, as my refuge from all the stressful and torturous things created by being a college student. Just like how books, mangas, movies, and music were my refuge to reality.
And most of all, I want to create a place where I can vent my excitement, wonder, questions, rage, rants and other random emotional instability. A place where I can share something to people.
I've been maintaining Plethoric Thoughts and have posted about 50 posts as I write this and I'm there to stay.
I'm not sure if there would ever come the time when I will be creating anime or manga-related posts there.
But I'm not ditching the possibility. It may come to my mind.
But right now, I'm content with the contents there. Too much of everything is bad, as they say, right?
