I found this document in the thousands word documents I had in my laptop and phone, this was supposedly be posted last year on the day of my anniversary in Livejournal and yet I couldn’t find any trace that I posted this in my page, so it seems that I have forgotten about this and failed to post it. So here I am posting this on my page. Well this seems to be a start for more livejournal posts …
Happy 4 years LJ !!
Today is the fourth year anniversary of my livejournal, yay! :) I managed to maintain it.
Well, my statistics in the LJ such as the comments and posts doesn't reflect my 4 years stay here where I have reasons of it. Again, reasons, I have so many reasons in life. How disappointing!
#1: I am not much of a wordy type of person
My social networking sites are much updated since they require less words compared to LJ. As much as I love updating my livejournal I just doesn't seem to finish one blog entry neither do I want to have a blog entry that only has one sentence as an update. I do have a diary where I write my day in there, and I planned before to transfer it to my livejournal and make it as a e-diary but encoding everything wouldn't be easy and maintaining it wouldn't easy as well. Also, I have always preferred writing than encoding. I don't know why but whenever I encode, ideas doesn’t come flowing and I often get stocked, that's why my diary is still in pen and paper (so vampire diaries, haha.)
#2 deprived in Internet access
I maybe a member of every social networking site but actually we don't have internet at home, and I go to an internet shop just to be able to surf. And since it is an internet shop, of course, I have to pay for my internet time and definitely the rates are expensive. That's why whenever I visit my livejournal it is always fast-paced like I am just skimming through the friends feed, looking for what is interesting, take what I see is interesting and couldn't comment like "thank you!" And I try that the next time I am online I will go through the pages again and thank the moderator or uploader for their hard work, though I admit that I couldn't thank or acknowledge everyone. And I am sorry for being like this, I want to change this and honestly, I am trying my best. With every visit, I really TRY to take some time to at least thank the uploaders
#3 deprive of time
School work is always the priority of every student. And I belong to one of the demanding course in our school---NURSING, with all the duty every week plus the requirements, assignments, projects, exams and etc. I really don't have much time to stay in the internet shop and read everything or look for sources. Especially now that I am a graduating student (wohoo!) I got busier that whenever I visit the livejournal, I will just be there to skim the contents and no time to even download or take anything. Actually this past few months, I have been deprive with news of my ichibans, I rarely get any updates anymore and lose track with their new dramas, albums, guestings or new singles. It is so sad but I don't have the choice since I can't just leave my school works and spend more time in shipping of my ichibans. Just wait when I graduate surely I will be just facing the computer all day, haha.
#4 pressure in designs
I wanted my livejournal to look to be very colorful and very appealing to readers. And since those kind of codes and stuffs are not my forte I lose the inspiration. My homepage is so ugly, having the same design since I started livejournal, I just don't seem to learn how to redecorate my page, even when I have been watching or reading the tutorials. It pressures me a lot to see the homepage of others having designs of their ichibans, that I get discouraged since my homepage doesn't seem to be a homepage of a fangirl. I know this reason is so petty but I got to be honest onto why my livejournal is still like this despite being here for almost 4 years already. But anyway, I just have to learn to get satisfied
I thinks that's all. I know I have so much reasons and definitely there are solutions to it but I couldn't put it into action because of some factors. But I told myself that after I graduate, when I have more time and resources, I shall improve my livejournal page and make sure to fill it with more posts about my ichibans and myself. I hope and I pray that I will this into action--- SOON.
Overall, happy anniversary to me and to my livejournal! :)
BTW, the anniversary of my livejournal is on February 24. It has been 5 years since I have made this livejournal page, and as well as, it has been 5 years since I have been in this fandom. Cheers
