Ah, it feels like it's been so long…! Last week was really busy, so I really didn't have much time to post anything… what a pity T_T It was quite hectic and it was time to clock out before I knewit. I would really have liked to update this – I was told by a few people I interviewed that they enjoyed my blogs, and it made me so happy!! So I really wanted to work harder for everyone.

It actually brings me back quite a bit to my primary/secondary school days, when blogs were all the rage (that probably gives you a rough idea of ​​how old I am, lol). It was actually something that we would even school during some computer literacy course, but I already had my own blog by then. What would a 10~ year old kid use a blog for? Something like this I guess, just talking about things I thought were important as a kid, , pop stars, and the like.

But, my favourite thing about old-school blogs was the chatbox and "blog skins"! To be totally honest, there's something kind of lacking about blogs/websites these days – yep, minimalism and sleekness look good, but but there was a charm in tacky, brightly coloured backgrounds, music that auto-played, and maybe even 'fighting' in the chatbox with a classmate? LOL

…It's probably the nostalgia talking, because I can just imagine what horrors they would look like these days! But they do remind me of much simpler days as a kid, and I even dabbled in making my own skins. Actually, Iwas proficient with HTML as a 12-year-old than my 20s, what a joke 🤣🤣 However, that kind of interactivity was really fun – leaving comments was the norm, which I don't think happens a lot anymore…. I only anyone reads my blogs when they tell me while I'm conducting interviews, or sometimes over Whatsapp. It still makes me super happy to know though, and even if only 1 person reads these, it makes me really satisfied ^^

Perhaps that's enough rambling for now! Have a good evening and (hopefully) see you tomorrow for the next installment of The Diary of Riene!!
