Boys Over Flowers [WL post]
May 20, 2009This is a spontaneous post. I intend to post a review after I have watched the whole pirated DVD (which, I should I say, has the best English subtitles I have ever seen in a Korean drama).
It’s quite corny, really, but the Korean version of Hana Yori Dango is much better than the Taiwanese or Japanese ones.
I just had the feeling that a single post isn’t enough. Hahaha! Enjoy!
Inspiration and Commitment
This is really tiring.
I don’t know why, but ever since I stopped blogging a year ago, the words are hard to come by. Maybe it’s because a good fourth of my functional nerve cells have gone on permanent vacation after a year of advising, analyzing data, analyzing situations, assessing performance, assessing progress, assessing quality, assisting, attending to detail, building relationships, building credibility, building cooperation, budgeting, calculating, corresponding, communicating, conceptualizing, consulting, correcting, counseling, data processing, deciding, editing, educating, empathizing, enforcing (my favorite!), evaluating, filing, forecasting, imagining, intuiting, intervening, inventing, investigating, lecturing, listening, managing tasks, observing, operating computers, organizing, project managing, public speaking, recording, repairing, reconstructing, reporting, researching, troubleshooting, understanding, using the PC and the internet, and more at a level ten times than I have been used to. There aren’t many brain cells left to do “intellectual” work like blogging.
Or maybe it’s because I am afraid to do it again. I’m not hiding the fact my former blog (or rather, my irresponsibility and impulsiveness) became a source of serious trouble last year. Of course, I now know better, that I won’t repeat the same mistake again, but there is still this feeling of apprehensiveness.
However, I really need to get back to blogging. It is one of the best ways to entice my on-leave nerve cells to go back to work (to do what they do best – think!) and cure my chronic loss of self-esteem. I’m not like many of my generation who feel incomplete without a blog or membership in a social networking service; my experience taught me that a non-blogging lifestyle is still possible despite the blogger population explosion (at least among this country’s young intelligentsia). However, the desire to communicate is always there, as well as the drive to improve and adapt. There’s blog technology, why not take advantage it?
Wow, would you believe it? I managed to type more 304 words in just an hour (and that’s from scratch and with a good fourth of my functional nerve cells on leave)! Way to go!
A reminder:
For a single post one needs inspiration.
But for a functioning blog one needs commitment.
Thanks VZ for inspiring me to do this again!
