thirteen

Hello from a small area somewhere in Asia.

How are you? I hope you are in a good shape. My regular visitors might notice that I’ve been absent for a whole month if not more. There’s this thing called “slump” which I often experience when watching Korean drama. I thought my blogging activity will not be affected by this. I was wrong. I think it was triggered by several vacations and getaway in August. I had so much fun “living life” that at the end of August, I decided to take a break from blogging just for several days. It costs me the whole September! I finally come to my senses last week, and kept wondering if I still have that passion in me… this blog is my baby.. no matter how basic it is, it’s my blood, sweat and tears… but do I still have that passion — if not the same one as I started, do I still have that in me? I ask that question to myself everyday and today somehow, I answered YES.

You might not believe this but of all day, today is my blog anniversary. I didn’t know. I chuckled when I check the month-old notification just now. What kind of force come in play that of all day, I decided to continue blogging on the 13th anniversary of my blog. wow. If that’s not a sign that I shouldn’t quit, then what is?

I’ll slowly tracing back to where I left and fill in the gap. I don’t know if I can keep up with trend or changes, I’m taking one step at a time. I hope the break I took will give me some motivational boost to reignite this blog. I’m writing this to not just explain my current situation, but also to show my appreciation to each one of you. Thank you guys… 13 years of sharing beautiful, poetic words from timeless melodies with you, I hope I can be somewhat helpful whenever you need me.

sincerely,
aliana ♡
