Good Bye and Hello
me in Kuala Lumpur, August 2009.
The time has come to end this blog. Well, not really but I decided on moving this to the new platform.
I still remember how, when and why I started writing the xaustraliax blog. It was on one July's evening of 2003 at Kazue's apartment in Victoria Park, Perth, Australia. It was established as a tool for my friends in Poland so they could keep on track with my life in Australia. Good times( I was so young then :)) Then, I moved to Malaysia and I kept writing this for the same purpose. I was receiving some positive feedback and was happy abt this. Years were passing and beside describing my life overseas, that blog has became a place to write abt things that are important to me, sharing photos, articles, etc. Thank you for all the comments you left here.
So why moving to the new blog? First of all I feel that wordpress gives me more possibilities of managing my blog. I simply like it more then LJ now. The other thing ( that more important one) is that I m not an expat anymore and most probably I will never be one again. Starting this blog was my way to cope with that new situation I found myself when I moved to Perth in 2002. Now, I m settled here in Warsaw and even if this place is not as nice as Australia or Malaysia (in this case of that country, I m talking about the weather and living in expat standards), I simply like my life here. I realized this not long time ago and I feel this is a factor for changing something. I choose to call my new blog "hold tight" because even if I am pretty happy with my life, it is still everyday struggle against those smaller and bigger things that hit us everyday. It is a constant struggle with this world's stupidy, people's egoism, stress, etc. This is why we all have to just hold it tight and keep trying ...
Thanks to the new platform I was able to move all my xaustraliax's posts, so I wont miss any of my past entries from here.
I hope YOU all will follow my new blog. Update your bookmarks and "visit me" from time to time. Your comments are very much welcome. Just like always.
