I have bought the domain! Part of my new year resolutions, get back on blogging regularly and consume less. I am hoping blog at least once a week to record my kids’ growth and my life in general, things that I am working on, other blogs, movies and books that I enjoy, things I treasure. My family is preparing to move again in the new year, and later hopefully I can get back to learning to drive. This is going to be a busy new year. Lots on the to-do list. I am both excited and scared.

I have made these decisions: write more and spend less than on social media, thanks to a few artists I followed these years, that includes the Julia Bausehardt and Holly Exley who created brilliant YouTube videos reflecting on the shortcomings of social media, the tyranny of algorium. I have run 4 different instagram accounts because it seems you should stick to one topic in order to be seen, and I have run a Facebook page which I never have enough time to update and make any smart remarks that can make myself popular.

Special thanks to My Giant Strawberry‘s blog advices gave me the courage and inspiration to start from scratch again. And now I am using the WordPress.com personal plan, special thanks to their technical support is surprisingly quick to answer my questions.

我終於買咗自己嘅網址喇! 今年我真係好想認真經營一個網誌，寫多d 但睇少d，每星期都講下最近嘅生活，減少依賴社交媒體嘅現成版面同algorithm ，睇多d 仲有心 blog緊嘅人嘅網站。我仍然會update fb 同 ig，但希望有精神無聊時就寫多幾隻字，記錄近排嘅生活，介紹同分析下近排睇緊嘅書 blog 同戲。今年將會好忙，我哋可能搬屋，有好多家務功課要做，細女仍然全天候要照顧，今年將會忙到我都驚，但我好想認真記錄這些年，無論如何匆忙，如何不完美。

我有咁嘅決定因為我從兩個 artists Julia Bausehardt 和 Holly Exley 得到啟示，真係覺得social media 除咗徙我時間外，真係幫唔到我宣傳或創作，只係愈用愈唔開心。我都唔諗住會吸引到好多followers，又無辦法用來揾食，所以更加無需要follow佢哋嘅遊戲規則。我覺得blogging較適合我，於是我返嚟blogging 了。

還想特別點名多謝 My Giant Strawberry 的兩個 post 給我勇氣再由頭嘗試，和wordpress.com 的technical support 很快速給我回應疑問。
