Some of my "real world" friends asked me of how did I do my blog until this far. And so I had the idea to made a post and to shared with you my personal experience with blogging world for 3 years. Just a reminder that this is just a personal view of myself, okay? :)
Let's start with the very basic question... why do you blog? I must admit that blogging is opened for everyone with no limitation. But if you wanna keep it up, you have to be someone that has a passion for it. Like, just like me, I have a mad passion in writing. Started from writing my life and other ramblings on Tumblr, I thought I needed another space that was big enough and I could share my other passion with others. Not to mention I gained lots of another new passion from overseas bloggers since then :)
Now when you're ready to start a blog, what should you post? I'll say, EVERYTHING! ;) Recently I've been looking up over fashion blogs--cuz I'm not really sure style.com interests me as much as street stylers live from their own blogs. But I'm also into personal, food, design, and fandoms blogs. One thing for sure, you gotta decide what's your blog's theme. Stick with it all the time, but be a flexible one and give another things to shine :)
Every blogger started their own blog at first from ground zero. So it's okay to grow your own step by step. But this point is really important: the blog design. It's the design that readers love at first sight. You should make good impression when new or old readers come back to your blog. Don't forget to re-design your blog every once in a while to refresh it. Don't put too many gadgets on your sidebar or wherever it is that makes your blog looks terribly messy. Put the most important first, then some additionals follow. Remember as less is always more :)
Afterall, the one that really, really, really attracts readers is the quality of your posts. No matter how good your blog design is, if you don't put good effort on making your posts, there's no way people would love to have a peek of it. So make sure you write good, readable and interesting. Here are some tips of me when you write posts:
+ Don't use too many kinds of different fonts in one single post. People will get confused easily. Stick to one standard font that you've customized at the template designer.
+ No RAINBOW fonts. Except for some condition where you want to hightlight a word but that's just for ONE WORD. Like I did above on RAINBOW word. It makes me dizzy everytime I read too many colours in one single post on some blogs.
+ I know this seems unimportant but using the right word of a language--for example, English--would be very appreciated here. Always try to stick with the right grammar. It's okay if you got wrong grammar but make sure you don't go too far with that. Use capital letters for each beginning of a sentence and you-know-the-rule.
And here comes the tricky part. When you've done having all those things above for your blog, make sure you have one special page that describes yourself. When I visit blogs, the first thing I read is always the "about" page. It gives me information of the author. Just in case if we have the same interests :)
Last but not least, always blogging from the heart!
Two awards at the same time from the sweet girl over this blog, Realm of A Poetess!. Thank you so much, Dipika! Love you and your blog! All the posts you've posted, I love how you put those words altogether and create such sweet combination: just like a pro poet-writers! And since I am running out of time and need to catch some things up, I think—like always—I'll pass this award to whoever who sees this post :) I'll probably edit this post to add some blogs ^^ You can see both of the awards' rules here. Now I'll start:
7 random facts about me (again):
1. I know I said I hated math but math in social science is so easy, and so I start loving it!
2. I enjoy having exams
3. I don't like the class I am in right now
4. I've been an emotional-wreck lately
5. I'm having writer's block
6. My doctor said I should work out more and lose some weight
7. I started being a religious girl now
And the questions I'm gonna answer:
1. What do you feel your purpose is in life? Quite honestly, I've never really thought about it. I haven't figured it out and I'm not ashamed to admit this. But I guess my ultimate purpose in life is to be happy
2.What is your favorite book? I can't pick! I mean honestly, how do you pick one specific book out of hundreds you've read?
3. Who or what inspires you most in life? My enemies or rivals. They're like one of my biggest source of motivation
4. Would your rather donate time or money? Money
5. What are your best qualities? I never leave people and I love hard. Does that qualify as a quality? lol
6. If you were an organ in the body which would you be and why? Eyes because the eyes are the most beautiful part of the body, imo. You can't hide from the eyes
7. Why do you blog? I don't know man I mean I like the idea of having a small personal space that you can fill with things you love, added the fact that I love writing so much and telling stories, blogging is just a way for me to embrace more of what I love doing
8. What is your greatest accomplishment? For never giving up on myself, ever
9. Who is your role model/ hero and why? My own friends! Maybe because they're the closest and realest person in my life so their success and failure story gets me in the face just like that since I see them on a daily basis and I know what they go through isn't something exaggerated.
10. If you could be anything or anyone in the world, what would it be and why? I think I'd still be myself, ha! As much as I hate myself (sometimes), I can't really think of being in someone else' body and life
Thank's for reading, have a blessed day!
Good day, peepz! :) Just got home from school, the last day before I start my 2 weeks holiday of fasting month, yay! Opened my blog and found this comment, telling me that I've been featured as one of the gorgeous 15 blogs by Ira. Have seen this kind of awards from blogs to blogs but none have came to me haha! :D So by this, I can say muchas gracias to Ear-rah! ;) Anyway, here are some rules:
1. Nominate 15 fellow bloggers who are relatively new to blogging, or at least they've been blogging for less than 2 years.
2. Let the bloggers know that they have been nominated for this award.
3. Share 7 random facts about yourself.
4. Thank the blogger who has nominated you.
5. Add the Versatile Blogger Award picture to your post.
First of all, sorry that I've edited the picture, since there's always something in my mind that forces me to do something different and special for the logo. Afterall, it's my blog, right? :) And I've thank Ira too. Now I'm gonna share my 7 random facts... wait, I'm 16 and so I'll share my 16 random facts.
1. I start loving mathematics for social class.
2. I can't stop thinking about U.
3. I get amazed easily of everything U does in front of me.
4. I can't stop having so much fun when it comes to spending time with Tennis Indoor!
5. I just started hating music, somehow :|
6. I hate my big brother for he can't keep his promises and always come late in every occasions.

9. I love U, ha!

11. My oh-so-painful Christian Louboutin shoes just got sold for IDR 3,5 million. Wow, such a fantastic number for a secondhand shoes, haha!
12. I'm getting better of using HARRY.
13. I hate it when my classmates—or whoever it is except U—use my Instagram for their personal reason. I mean, it's getting fulled by their faces, and I don't like it. The feed should be all about my life, and it's getting ruined by my friends' faces. Geez...
14. I've dropped ZAYN twice.
15. And for those who still wandering, yes, Imma half Greek y'all. Okay, you can say it's a quarter.

1. Missie EJ.
2. The Jungle Girl.
3. Sweety Peach.
4. Boly by Rima.
6. In Sofia's shoes.

Okay, catch you guys later on! I have lots of things to be told and yeah, I know I've promised you an outfit post since days ago but really, I've been busy with school tasks and needed some sleeps... Bye! x
It's weird, blogging on Sunday night. Well it's not, I should believe it this time. Because now, it's time for wolly dolly holiday!! ^O^ How's your holiday, guys? Eventhough I haven't celebrate it yet, but my BFF forever does ;) She is going to spend the whole holiday at Bali, unlike me. I'll just sit down all day in front of the computer, surfing the internet, reblogging on Tumblr, play The Sims Social on Facebook etc. Sometimes I wonder if I can be a christian for a day :D I'll buy a big christmas tree, put a lot of accessories on it, buy myself dreamy gifts which in the end I'll open it and pretend to be surprised.... fuck society ._.
But whatsoever, about today's post, I finally made it! My own complicated GIF! Why I call it as 'complicated'? Becaus it does need lots of strength for me to made this. And the guts to do...
It was quite hard to made this. First of all, I had to download all those JC Litas pictures from Solestruck (for the right part) and Google (for the left part). Then I combine them and add my credit on the left side one by one. After that, I stitched them into one with Photoscape 3.5 and voila! THIS :D
