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 ♡

At this moment, what I feel is non other than thankful of course… There are times when I get so lazy to blog and hoping for no new OST or album release.. but there were also times when I am in a good mood, and wanting to post anything I could! Lazy or not, by having my posts viewed by others is such a thrilled feelings.

This blog’s history wasn’t all flowers and rainbows. I started with a mindset to do lyric romanization but I was pretty ambitious, full of adrenaline to do all sort of thing, but eventually none goes as planned. I wasn’t thinking about views, rather something that I enjoy doing but what is it? I experimented a lot, but only on September 2013, around that time when The Inheritors and You Who Came From The Stars were everyone’s darling, I found the answer. When I made a major changes in my tumblr, it affected this blog too. I then recalled my original intention, and settled down with it. I should’ve trusted my abilities earlier. I finally found my focus and able to regularly posting again.

A few changes has been made from time to time, on how I post stuff etc. It was fun! I tried to maintain the quality of my posts, always re-check and make sure the original lyrics are correct and alter if possible.. but I might still making mistake though. If you found a mistake that needs amendment, please left a comment so that I can fix it. I just hope people who search for things and found it in my blog, are satisfied with what they found. Some asking for translations, but unfortunately I think Choo Sarang is better in Korean than me. I wish I’m confident enough to do it arghh *frustrated* 😦

But anyhow, I’m happy with this blog’s performance. I just share what I want, what I love and what I’m crazy for. Despite lacking here and there, I really appreciate when people likes my posts, commenting saying thank you and all. I’m grateful and fulfilled. Really 🙂 People are actually reading my posts! I thank all of you for visiting my humble nest. 100,000 views might be nothing for some but it means a lot to me. Since visitors that top the 2014 statistic charts are from South Korea, 진심으로 감사드립니다! 한번만 안아주시면 안대? ㅋㅋ
