Behind the scenes of BEYONDSKY.net

On May 4, 2002, I set up myself an account on Blogger.com, and launched my first ever blog. It was hosted at blogspot, until the first members of BlogBugs gave me a surprise present for my 19th birthday: beyondsky.net, where I hosted my blog ever since.

I no longer use Blogger though, as RD01 installed his homemade blogging script on beyondsky.net since January 2003. Because for some odd reasons, my entries throughout 2003 seems to be missing. However, entries prior to 2003 can still be accessed at The Old Archives.

I have to say that blogging has changed my life, and I'm sure that I won't be where I am now without the presence of my blog. You're probably aware that blogging is actually a social activity; It involves not only one individual, but a community. The same goes with me, as I have made friends through my blog. Some still play a huge role in my life today.

PS: The inexistance of commenting system in this blog is done on purpose. If you would like to comment on my entries or have any questions for me, please use the contact form.

I am a semi-complicated twenty-four year old girl, who blogs mostly to rant about random things that annoy me (which is usually quite often due to my mood swings). I finished my bachelor degree last year, and now I'm working as a designer-slash-photographer at a small yet striving design & photography company. I used to reside in Sydney, Australia but I've returned to Jakarta since mid-2005. Now I'm currently living with my parents and my two dogs.

If I have to define myself in one single word, I'd pick: Quirky. I love to make odd jokes (often disgusting and pornographic ones) at random moments. Basically, I love to make people laugh (and usually they do laugh at my jokes thankgod). That doesn't mean I'm good with people in general though. I find myself very uncomfortable when surrounded by people I barely knew. "Anti-social" is sometimes a label I put on myself when I'm too lazy to explain myself to others. This is why, although I multitask a lot of things at work, I would never take on the "marketing" position (and my colleagues will go to extreme measures to prevent it from happening, so I'm in good hands).
