I have been ‘officially’ blogging for exactly one year today. I tried blogging a couple of times in the past years, but I really didn’t stick to it. I don’t know the reason, but every time I start a new blog, after a few entries I close it. Xanga, Zopia, Blogger, LiveJournal, and other forgotten free blog service, I’ve tried it all, but closed my account after a few weeks.

Last year when two (1, 2) of my co-workers convinced me to start blogging, I gave it another try. I was hesitant at first because I really have nothing to blog about nor have the passion of a blogger. Still, I gave it another shot. Created another blog at blogger and named it, Coldmoondrops.

Here is the first post I made at Coldmoondrops, and my very first post as a blogger.

It was late at night. The moon is shining brightly on a clear sky. The air is somewhat musky but cool nonetheless. Shadows of light poles can be seen across the dusty road. Houses on the right side and vast fields on the left. These are the first things I’ve noticed when I came back to this place. I never thought I would go back here again, but fate decided I visit this place once again. For what? Reconciliation? Forgiveness? I don’t now. Reason and purpose seems to escape me every time I look for it. No matter. I will never see this place again, maybe, I’m not sure. I’m not always sure. I’ve been living my life going to where destiny wants me to go. I seldom decide for myself what I want to do or where I want to go. I just follow the flow of life. Like a fallen leaf swimming across a river. Uncertain on where it would go or what will happen. Well… whatever happens, happens… that’s what I always say. But this place, I have a lot of memories here. I was happy the very day I arrived here, it was just a visit really, but what happened was more that just a simple visit. It was somewhat destined to happen…

Hi, this is my first entry for my blog here at blogger. I’m not really a good writer but I’ll try my best to post stuff about… well… just about anything I can think of. This is not my first blog (don’t ask about the old ones), but I’ll try to update this from time to time. Also I can only write if the following conditions exist: (1) I have too much time at work, (2) I thought of something worth writing, and (3) I’m inspired. Don’t mind the grammatical and/or spelling errors, I tend to write not to notice those things =)

So that’s my short into… oh and welcome ^_^

I already stopped blogging at Coldmoondrops, and continued my personal blog here at Eternalmoonlight.net. Some of the entries there have been imported at this site. And I’m also planning to close Coldmoondrops after a few days, or just delete the posts there.

I’m also glad that I got into blogging. Not only did I helped a lot of people, but also learned many things. I even made my other site, a blog site. I’m wishing for another year of blogging to learn, share, and help.

Regarding the title, ichi means one (1) in sino-Japanese, and in native-Japanese it is hitotsu.
