first post?

Hell-o!!!
Not really my first time blogging, but this post is my very first post everrrr~~~ Actually, back to 2009 when blogs were all the rage. I was into blogwalking, dropping comments in other people's blog chatboxes, reading amusing rants, and even dabbling a bit in HTML and blog design. However, despite having a blog, I never actually posted a single thing. I was just a school kid then, stuck in a monotonous routine with nothing fascinating to pen down. Over time (I forgot the exact year), blogging seemed to dwindle, with fewer bloggers actively writing and many blogs abandoned. Feeling the blogosphere lost its charm, I deleted my blog and took a break from the blogging world for a few years. Huehe.

But guess what? I'm back now!!!

Today, I've returned to blogging for a few reasons:

1. There are moments when I really want to express my thoughts, opinions, and comments on the internet. However, what I want to write usually turns into a long narrative, more like an article. Social media platforms like Twitter limit me to 140 characters per tweet, and Facebook feels a bit too restricted for sharing elaborate thoughts publicly. Hence, I've decided to pour out my lengthy thoughts/opinions/comments here because a blog is the perfect space for longer writings.

2. I genuinely enjoy answering queries in discussion groups. Sometimes, I receive messages requesting detailed reviews or tutorials for products or services I've discussed in those groups. Rather than explaining individually in messages, it seems more efficient to write it on the blog and share the link.

3. Occasionally, I feel like documenting experiences—funny, weird, scary, or even annoying ones—for memory's sake. It might be amusing in the future to revisit these posts and realize how cringy I might sound right now, haha.

4. Given that I'm learning English, I want to practice my writing skills through these blog posts. Please bear with me if there are any vocabulary or grammar blunders along the way.

5. With a pretty lengthy college break (around 3-4 months), instead of endlessly scrolling through Facebook or Twitter, I might indulge in scribbling some random stuff here.

So, here's the deal: this blog is going to be filled with random posts. I'm not entirely sure if anyone will actually read this blog, but that's alright—I'll keep it for myself.

Oh yeah, for those who might stumble upon this, here's a little about me. My name is Nadia, but you can call me Nadia, Nat, Nanat, or anything, really. I reside in Sukabumi, West Java. For those unfamiliar, Sukabumi is south of Bogor and adjacent to Cianjur~~ You'll get to know more about me as we journey along! Feel free to drop a comment :D
