It’s been close to a year and half since I started my blog and I thought it would be nice to take a look at how this mini project of mine has grown. Tbh, I haven’t logged into Wix for 3 full months due to my other commitments and I occasionally have thoughts about closing this blog, but seeing the statistics today encouraged me to continue what I originally set out to do with this blog.
So… what did I “originally set out to do with this blog”? Well, long story short: I wanted to have a space to ramble and share about my personal thoughts on the dramas/movies that I consume.
This was inspired by my own habit of searching and reading up on other people’s views of the dramas/movies that I watched. I always have many questions and comments when I watch shows. Sometimes, I would pause the show midway to do a quick Google search. In fact, I’m the kind of person that would pause the show to make a quick comment or have a brief discussion with whoever I’m watching the show with (if they’re okay with it luh). I find that I use Google the most after I finish watching my shows because most of the time, I’m not sure if I understood the ending well. I feel excited when I manage to find interesting alternative interpretations or just people who share the same thoughts about specific scenes.
Unfortunately, there are many times when I’m unable to find what I’m looking for. Yes, it’s frustrating to think that the vast web with its endless amount of information can still fail me. Perhaps I’m not using the right keywords or what I’m looking for is just too specific? Idk man, I’m just a curious person looking for some answers.
So yeah, the main content that I wanted to produce for this blog was my drama reviews. However, I know that it’s a really specific genre and I didn’t want to restrict myself too much, so it became like a “lifestyle” blog… because I would also like a space to ramble about other aspects of my life as well. hahaha!
I have a variety of posts but the ones that have significantly more views are my drama and movie reviews. This is super heartwarming because I’m glad that you guys like my main content. Although these types of content are usually very time-consuming, I actually feel the most joy and excitement writing them. I don’t know if it is obvious to you by now that I am intrigued by human interactions and life experiences, so being able to watch, think about, comment on and discuss other people’s interpretations of these things are exciting to me.
I’m just so glad that I decided on starting this blog because even though I have yet to actually communicate with any of you, the fact that you clicked on a link and read one of my posts means a lot to me - wow, someone out there is actually interested in what I have to say. I don’t know how long I will or can keep doing this, but I am certain that in the present moment, I am enjoying the process, so I don’t see myself stopping any time soon. My next goal is probably to increase the number of returning visitors, so please come back y'all! I will try my best to post more too~
Anyway, I initially wanted to give some quick updates about my life, but it turns out that plans change along the way and I somehow decided to write about the origins of my blog. Boy do we love the flexibility that comes with owning my own blog~ Okay, I can share more life updates next time I guess. Gonna have some nice dinner while watching 明星大侦探 (Chinese variety show with 9 seasons already, go check it out yo!) now. Bye~
