A look back in history

My first post is on 30th Aug 2004. I didn't realize I have been blogging for 10 years. For someone who doesn't keep a diary, I can't decide if this is amazing or scary that I have been tracking myself online for 10 years.

I used to have 4 authors on my blog, 3 of which have entirely retired and 1 semi retired.

In my early years I was more creative in my expression, I wrote a lot of poem, use a lot of colors and post cute emoticons. I also had a lot to complain, mostly about work. Ironically thinking back, it was one of the happiest moments of my life. I made many good friends from that era and 1/2 of my Facebook friends are my ex-colleagues. 

Blog layout had undergo a few changes but the theme is always the same, 2 panel standard design. Tagging only came abroad in 2007 so I spend the half of my rare public holiday tagging back all the old blogs. I also found out I have stupid tags like Thoughts and Funny and redundant tags like Food and Cooking - what was I thinking? Now I have 14 tags which I hope is sufficiently short enough for me to remember. The biggest chunk of stuff is under Just Talk - I will probably get around to categorizing some of the stuff out in the future and it will likely happen when I have 10 items on my To Do List that had nothing to do with cleaning up blog entries.

There is no theme to my blog. I blog whatever I like and whenever I procrastinate doing things that I should be doing (like now). I have a total of 736 entries, some months I blog like possessed, other times I forgot I had a blog. I came across entries that I wished I had never blogged it up. I still keep them as that is part of growing up.

Averagely about 15 people read my posts - some are my loyal followers, others directed from search engines- most frequent being from Russia - don't ask me why. My top 3 posts are just as random:

Why should I even be surprise Silent Reject has the most visitors and why 6 months old even made it to the top 3. What about 5 months old, 4 month old, 1 months old, 9 months old?

Now I tried to schedule my posts every other day. This blog was written on 9 June 2014 while I am still dating Mr Honest. I scheduled this to appear today. It will appear today but will I still be dating Mr Honest?

I also wonder if I die today will someone reads this blog and remember me?
