Consolidating Blogs

Okay...my indecisiveness has truly come to a head in my so-far extremely unsuccessful effort to build a blog.
I know..Blog is soooo 2004. I am, late is a a major understatement here, for the party. Looks like some people have migrated to Twitter while some have "retired" from blogging and gone back to mass emailing.

But being late is indeed the story of my life. So it should hardly surprise anyone that I've just started to develop this urge to write a blog. First of all, I need to choose a platform. I have, as we speak, 4 different blogs on 3 different websites. That's quite something for someone who've only been seriously considering blogging for a few weeks. I think I've finally settled on blogger.

What would I write? 2008 has been a year of change, not to upstage the President-Elect here, but it's been a momentous year for me. I've got married, covered the Olympics (a long-time dream of mine), and now quitting my job to study in France. I know pinning one's hope on a one-year MBA program (in Europe no less, sniffs some of my US-centric friends) is equal to binge-buying mortgage-backed securities, but I cannot help but wish 2009 to be... what else... more momentous. (This word is momentarily stuck in my head)

In China, they say thirty is the year of Establishment. Perhaps it's a bit of dreading the inevitable Big Three, along with increasing ennui at the current job, that ultimately led to this sudden urge to change.

That's pretty much why I want to start this blog: to document my year away from the real world and my earnest efforts to hopefully live "the year of establishment" to the fullest.
