First post …new to blogosphere

October 11, 2007

The blogging bug bit me wen i received an RSS feed from Cnet.com and an invitation from wordpress simultaneously. I was contemplating to start a blog of my own ..but dint know how to. I reserched a bit and found this to be fun ….although i still prefer my diary for all those thoughts which i dont want to share with the world wide web.

 Another reason to start a blog was that I had given up writng completely, sometimes by chance and mostly by choice ( I am one helluva lazy guy!) And since my profession demands to be good in writing, I just thought to sharpen up my skills a bit. Now, how did I realise that I need to brush up my skills? Just the other day i was asked by my ‘temporary’ boss to review an action game. Everything was fine, as I was pumping bullets in wholesale to all those freaking monsters, until the moment arrived when i had to finally end the bloodshed and shed some ink onto the paper…i had to review the game! Since the magazine I write for, is targetted exclusively to the young audience, I had to ensure that the language is full of slangs, the ‘in’ words and sentences etc. After I joined this company I always wished that I join this dept. (Living Digital), but suddenly i developed cold feet when i was asked to write this review, partly beacuse I wasnt allowed to play much. Just a few stages and he yelled, ” U have played the game, na? Now submit the review before u leave…” I had less than 2 hours in hand, and who wants to write after u had a heavy lunch. Still…… with a picture of a cozy bed in my mind and AC at full blast(ah heaven!), i began scribbling. When i was finally ready with my draft, the mischievous me woke up. I decided to consult my counterparts on the World wide web, and see what they had to say about the game. Although, not very convincing, but I managed to somehow generate a consensus between my opinion on the game and theirs i.e. after some clever copy pasting! After all, i am in the editorial department, isnt it?

 I would certainly liketa have more variety and innovation in my posts. As suggested, I would add some pictures and images in my posts, hereafter. (god, bless me with a digicam please)

  Cheers!
