It’s been a long time coming but…
…I finally did it! I finally started a blog!
I’ve always wanted to start a blog since I don’t remember when, but I’m always reluctant and intimidated. I mean, with all the good blogs already existing, who would want to read a blog from a newbie like me? There is also the excuse that I won’t have time to maintain it because I’m going to be busy with work and life. But I think the most important factor that stopped me from starting a blog ever since is the question of how am I going to start it and what is it going to be about?
Why decide to start now?
I will admit I did a lot of research for years and years. Googling “How to start a blog in (whatever year I did the research and thought to myself that this is it, this is the year I’m going to start my blog)” and every time I would get so overwhelmed and just end up not doing it. A lot of these blog posts or YouTube tutorials on how to start a blog for me made it really difficult and scary to start a blog, especially when you’re like me and don’t know what they are doing. But this year, what with all the things happening in the world and me not getting any younger, I said f*ck it! I’m just going to start a blog and just go from there. So here I am, writing my first ever blog post!
There are a lot of suggestions of what or what not to do when starting a blog. A lot of suggestions on what website to use to host your website, and most of them will have you pay, and that’s another factor that I really considered before I started my blog. Because I don’t want to pay for something that I will just be doing for a few months and then abandon after. Especially in this economy, we all have to consider where we are spending our hard-earned money. But I finally chose one blog hosting website and started working on my blog. There are still a lot of things I don’t know about this whole thing, but that’s the beauty of stepping out of your comfort zone and starting something new; you grow and learn.
What to expect with this blog?
In this blog, I will focus mainly on my travels, especially in Okinawa, Japan, as this is where I’m currently residing. I will share places we went to here on this beautiful little island. I am also planning on writing tips on how to go there, means of transportation, fares, etc.
Of course, I will also post about my photography. I learned and tried some techniques I haven’t done before. Photography is just my hobby up until now, but I want to improve and learn more and finally discover my style, because who knows, I might consider photography professionally in the future. Since I am using Fujifilm cameras, I am also planning on sharing recipes that I will find online and will try. I also want this blog to be some sort of documentary on how my photography will change. I am also planning on posting about film photography as I’ve been dabbling with it every now and then.

That’s all, folks! Thank you so much for reading until the end, and I hope you’ll find my blog interesting enough to stick around!
