After many many years of moving my home on the internet around (from LiveJournal to Multiply to Wordpress, to my own website) - I have decided to come back to my roots and settle in Google's own Blogger. There was indeed a time when I used Blogger as well (and in fact, to my surprise, my old site is still alive, although missing most of the images already).
Why have I returned? Well, I simply don't want to pay for a website that I do not have the energy or motivation to maintain and update. It's not cheap owning a domain and hosting a site, and this thought of me wasting money away is gnawing at the back of my brain for many years now. It became a frustration I couldn't shake away and so I got even more frustrated with myself for not posting regularly.
Hopefully this is going to be my permanent address moving forward. I'm still thinking of keeping the domain name but I'll definitely host my site here on Blogger for convenience and for peace of mind.
I hope to connect with people more here than on social media. As I build my new home on the internet, my goal is to disappear from the apps (i.e., Instagram). I'll slowly be posting about the places I've visited, memorable stories or experiences, thoughts on life and the current state of the world - it will be all over the place, thus the title of this blog is "Saksak Sinagol" - a variety or mixture of anything and everything. It's been a while since I've been this excited about blogging. Posting without any pressure. And you can say it's also my way of looking back at the past 40 years of my life on this earth. Damn, it still hurts to say that! But at least I'm still here, right?
If you're new to my space, or if you have been lurking in my old site - Welcome! Dayon kamo!
