A Worldview Phenomenon - Blogging

Friends across the globe, while you are twirling your thumbs, what are you going to do next? Riding? Smoking? Drinking? Chatting? Gardening? All are not the answers.

It's BLOGGING!

"Blog" is a virtual platform for over 10 million people stamping ground. It makes no sense you shut your eyes to this trend and have ever not been a "blog" owner.There is no denying some of you may hold "blogger" (here means people who blog very often) in contempt as they go with the stream and follow the fashion blindly. But, to me, it is not only carrying us off our feet, but most importantly, changing our habits when it comes to information acquisition. This is a worldwide phenomenon surprises even the most sophisticated professors.

Here I'd love to share how I was impressed by blog, a voguish online journal.

In the past, I used xanga basically to write down my anecdotes and share my thoughts with local buddies. But one day, by clicking links unconsciously, I was turn out to be connected to "Blogger" where there is an entry about the future roles of United Nations. Frankly, at that moment, I immediately knocked my eyes and am in a brown study and screamed "awesome!" This entry hooked me up with deals willy-nilly. It motivates me to start BLOGGING, no matter how busy I am.

Right, as an Arts undergraduate with translation major, I believe producing some compositions to share my impact and voice is what we should do although it has already been a very minimum commitment.Luckily, I found a community of Blogger called "nomadlife" especially for @ers around the world. You know, one thing which consumers much of my attention is I can re-visit my friends from Keyna to New Zealand and hear their voices. Only spending 30-min in this "Ocean of Knowledge", I caught a glimpse of issues related to philosophy, culture, history, science, politics, business and my beloved AIESEC. All of these make me thank for the scientific breakthrough creating this platform to connect all the great minds and for me to start my virtual world discovery with ease.

That's my little piece of my story. How about yours?

Dudes, if you are still wondering what the hell a "blog" is, I think connecting to my friends' links is the best resource to date on the blogosphere.

Naaz,

Of course I remember you. Your stay in HK helped us a lot and in my mind, you are one of the most impressive trainees in HK. It seems you are now in Columbia, enjoy!

Send my kisses to MC there.

Yat,

Probably Xanga is the platform for you to write Chinese....

Hey,
I just read your comment on Matt (Canada)'s blog. Did you go to IC 2005? I think I picked you up at the airport...AIESEC is so cool, at the time I met you I didnt even know who MATT was and now he is one of my best friends and you already met him in 2002!

Crazy AIESEC World!

Hugs from Germany,
jen :)

PS: I read the other comments and it seems you are the new MCP. Awesome! Have a great year!

Hey Gary!

Yeah yeah, G04! G04! The best room ever at an AIESEC conference in history. That's so awesome you're MCP. I think you were a new member then and I remember being surprised by how organized and focus you were. I hope you can help take AIESEC Hong Kong to great heights. I still believe there's a LOT of potential there for AIESEC. I still miss Hong Kong and can't wait until I can come back and visit...and hopefully live there :)

Yeah man, can't wait to see you at IC too. That'd be crazy if we were roomates again...haha :)
