Hey everyone,
I’m not sure if people are still writing or reading blogs like they used to. These days, with all the fun apps around us, reading someone’s online diary doesn’t seem as exciting anymore, right?
But hey, times have changed, and the best we can do is move forward.
So, I decided to write this blog to update myself on everything that’s happened this year—what’s new, what’s changed, and so on.
Looking back at 2023, I realized that a lot of people, including myself, are really enjoying short videos—TikTok, YouTube Shorts, you name it which many once dismissed as "trash," especially TikTok has become one of the biggest platforms. It’s a place where singers rise to fame, influencers get their start, and online shopping is now huge. In fact, our country really embraced online shopping, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2022). Since then, the internet and online platforms have become essential to daily life. Whether it's shopping, ordering food, getting deliveries, booking taxis, securing queue numbers for official matters, attending meetings, or even selling stuff, it's all happening online now.
I’m not sure how it was before, but I think, before COVID-19, the internet was mostly used by younger people for entertainment and studies, and by businesspeople for their work (or at least, I think so). After the pandemic, though, older generations had to adapt as well. It was almost like they were "forced" to use online services since everything moved online. In short, a lot has changed, and we’ve had to adapt to this new lifestyle somehow.
Speaking of COVID-19, alhamdulillah, the disease has slowed down, and most of us have built some immunity to it. It’s almost become like a regular fever—not as deadly as it once was. But even though it’s not as dangerous, I still hope it completely disappears and never comes back.
The reason I’m writing today is that I accidentally stumbled upon someone’s blog, and it made me remember mine. So here I am, back at it! As I read through my old posts, I couldn’t help but cringe. I mean, what was up with all the random GIFs and cheesy quotes? What was I thinking?! But hey, it’s part of my journey, and that's how I used to write. It’s cringe, but it’s okay.
Anyway, this post was supposed to go up in December 2023, but I kept it in the draft and forgot about it. A year has passed, and now it's early 2025! Crazy how time flies, right? But since I’ve written it, and with a little help from ChatGPT for my grammar, I decided to just post it anyway. Hahaha.
