An End is Nearly the Beginning.

Man, I'm going to miss doing this. I'm going to miss everything.

I learned a lot from doing blog posts and posting on others' blogs. I noticed improvements and various opinions that others had to say. By posting on my blog, I get to receive different opinions for the story or character.

Blogging online is much better than writing in a notebook. Writing in a notebook is time-consuming, and what's written inside is secluded from the outside world; not everyone can see the entries written inside. Luckily, by writing online, people (not only from the United States) can see your work and make positive criticism to improve your blog posts in the future. You can also receive persuasive ideals or opinions from others - even disagreeable bloggers who dislike your ideals. However, the experience is great.

However, there are backlashes to online blogging as well. By writing online, you can also receive bias opinions from others, and even 'trollers' who spam your blog or fake something in it. All your personal thoughts become known to the outer world as well, making your private thoughts exposed to people internationally. There is also a limit to cursing or harsh criticism.

Teenagers do take advantage of internet. Usually, profanity or cyber-bullying occurs at the teenage years, but sometimes we say sweet things as well. Maybe an "I love you" or "I know you'll do well". People really do use internet to say things they wouldn't say in reality, but it isn't always a bad thing.

I can't imagine keeping this blog up on a daily basis. Well, I can imagine, but I'm as slouchy as ever, and soon in my future years I'll be a busybody. However, if I'd make another one, I'd make it about my life or special occasions with my friends. I'd also make an art blog on a different site to show off my (sexy) skills. Personally, I think that blogs are great. The problem is getting it to be popular or something.

Love & War 2 (SPOILS)

A little fetish I had a few years ago that actually turned into a short online novel.

The novel "Love & War 2" was created by the pen name Cera Rain who makes movies based off of game characters of "Maplestory", a 2d-game that has been very popular since the seven years it was made. "Love and War", the first series of the story, was actually a movie that spoke about a young woman named Cera who was a famous match-maker and could easily create a couple based on her advice. However, a group of pirates wanted to be rich, and realized that Cera had the key of a sacred treasure kept hidden in her heart. Cera faced many obstacles in order to escape her death and actually was in love with one of the pirates, Levi. However, during the sequel, Levi disappears, leaving Cera behind on the verge of selling her home.

Although I didn't like romance books as much as other genres, this one was interesting to read. The story didn't focus on boys entirely, and you can understand her emotional standing. However, the cons to this story is that it's predictable. Almost like every other story or movie, where a girl meets a new guy and falls in love with him, and they get together and fall apart, and then another guy steps in and falls in love with her, but her heart still pleads for the first guy. Truly predictable, like a Korean drama.

I doubt there's any main philosophical ideals. Maybe something like, "should I sell my painting that my deceased parents have kept for so long?" or "should I give up on Levi?" but there's no strong one that I'd want to talk about at the moment.

Love and war are somewhat similar, aren't they?
