Here's the thing - every time I sign in my Blogger, I'll be greeted with not one, but several blogs on my dashboards, and they are all mine. Hehheh *insert sweat-face-smiling emoji*. That's what happens ladies and gentlemen when you have been blogging for years and jump platform (Xanga, Blogpost, Tumblr, Wordpress) every few years. Out of all my years of blogging, Blogspot has been the frequently used one, given the number of times I've returned to it and started a new blog, hehheh *insert sweat-face-smiling emoji again*
So as I was about to update my blog recently, I thought about why I have so many blogs and how I don't have the heart to delete them as they're basically my diary (I think my last personal diary entry was like Form 1, at the latest). Did you know one of my favourite past time is to actually read the old posts?
Suddenly I had a light bulb moment - why do I need to keep them in separate blogs when I can actually just import them into this blog!?!
*ding ding ding, Aisya has finally got the point ladies and gentlemen, few years too late..*
I thought,
Hesitant-Aisya: Maybe you didn't keep it in one place because you didn't want anybody else to read it
YOLO-Aisya: If you didn't want anybody to know (read it) you wouldn't post it online
Hesitant-Aisya: Do you really want people to know about your past?
YOLO-Aisya: The blogs were public at some point of your life, so there are already people who already know your past.. Plus, what "past" - you were basically a nerd (I know guys, I re-read my posts..)
Hesitant-Aisya: But your writing style is different.. It'll totally clash with how your writing style is now
YOLO-Aisya: But my personality is about the same.. Plus, people change as they grow.
And thus YOLO-Aisya won and I began exporting from the old and importing to the current. Immediately after I began texting people - mostly my friends that were frequently mentioned in my old blogs.
"I feel obligated to tell you guys this - my old blogs are being transferred to my current one. So old pictures will resurface. DO NOT SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU!"
I am a considerate friend aren't I? Hehe. And to my surprise they all actually loved the idea and were looking forward to walk down memory lane - "Thank God you blogged like crazy last time! I barely have any pictures from the past!".. Urr, you're welcome!(?)
So now you have it, 2007 - 2015. 7, almost 8, years of my life (sans 2011-2012 though, stupid me got way too emo and deleted that blog... grrr)!! I can't remember my Xanga password, or I could've included 2006 too - the year I started blogging.
Now everybody will know when I say I was very, very dark in high school (under high-school drama label).. I don't mean like I was a gothic/emo-punk-rock kid, I meant like my skin was actually darker, think 3 shades darker.
p/s: While writing this post, I just had another revelation - Did I really have the same email address since 2007? O.O I thought I had it while I was in college, hahaha. Because I remember using the other email with the word "glam" and "barbie" throughout highschool.... *insert blush emoji*
