Initial

Finally, I created an entirely new blog — new title, new URL, new look, new atmosphere, (and capitalization!) in an entirely new blog hosting site. It feels refreshing to start over and dump the one-year old blog, although I must admit, I still do have second thoughts on completely abandoning it. Sure, it’s crappy and no one reads it anyway, but … I put a lot of words in it and probably even a few entries unworthy of deletion.

Why WordPress? Because I wanted people to read what I want them to read, and I wanted to keep private entries I would not want most readers to read (especially my family, hehehe). I want to have my own privacy when I needed it, so I chose WordPress instead of good old Blogger, Livejournal, Multiply, etc. I think I’ll be getting along very well with WordPress.

Frankly, I despise blog transfers (it’s becoming some kind of a fad among others) but since the current situation calls for one, and since my previous blog smelled like crap already, I had no choice but to transfer to a newer blog; I’m not doing this for the heck of it as most people I know seem to be. I’m hoping that this new blog wouldn’t receive too much publicity as I’m not begging for publicity. In fact, it’s quite the opposite that I would prefer… but having readers wouldn’t hurt, either.

The title “The Silver Seraph” refers to, …a silver seraph. In case you didn’t know, a seraph is a Biblical being creature somewhat superior to an angel (even though it does resemble an angel). As you may know, (or may not know) I have a fascination for angels and anything else related to the topic, and that is how I came up with the title. I didn’t want my title to be like “Broken Dreams” or something else that was obviously trying to sound profound and intelligent. Likewise, I didn’t want it to sound blatantly boring; it’s your problem if you find my title blatantly boring. Sonaten, on the other hand, is a musical piece composed of three movements, and is more popular known as a “sonata” instead of “sonaten.” I considered using “polarbarr” for the URL, but I thought that my blog would be too easy to find if I did that.

Since we’re almost turning from sophomores into juniors, I think it’s time for me to consider my options on my future course. A few people I know have already planned out their courses ever since first year, so I guess I’ll be deciding as well. A career fair’s bound to happen sometime in my third year life, although I don’t think it would be much help to most of us anyway..

I finally found videos of “Boys Be…” episodes 1-7 on the internet! AXN used to broadcast this anime around four years ago (before Sony created Animax); what can I say, I still love watching it… I wonder how I’m supposed to watch the remaining six episodes. I still plan on watching Deathnote, Blood+, Bleach and other anime shows that look promising, probably after I finish watching the 7th episode of Boys Be… .

It’s 10pm as I write this sentence, so I think I better sleep for now.

Happy birthday to Theia! 4/20/07
