That's Crazy

I just realized that the world is changing so fast. About five or six years ago, before e-bay banned my country, my uncle had made his first online transaction with paypal via e-bay. He bought a electric guitar and a saxophone at that time, so much cheaper than you bought it in my country at the moment. Of course this is a controversy in my family since this family is so old style.

Everybody kept asking how he could trust some stranger to buy something that he had never actually seen. I could understand those questions. It was so common for people who had never actually in touch that deep so that the had no idea about the system.

And then the second was my own sister. She bought a tele-lense for her camera. She really liked photography and she needed a good tele-lens with a good deal of price. She found it in a local forum's trading thread, so she decided to buy it COD. That was the first time in my life I have ever heard about COD.

YEars gone by, I started to be more friendly with my new friend, the internet. I started to learn how it works. I started to learn the system until in a moment, I realize that making business in the internet is so easy to do. I learn trading in the internet and I was quite making money at that moment.

Internet trading is somewhat dangerous, especially because it is like you buying something you never had known before. So that is why i saw someone get a fight because of it. Price in the internet ofcourse so much cheaper than price in the retail because if you sell things in the internet you don't pay for the rent for the shop and another costs too. But internet seller has lower credibility in the eyes of the older generation in my country.

IT is really... really crazy.

Another beginning

I don't know where to start. Actually I made blog and another blogs, and starting all over again without any particular reasons. Am I trying to learn to write in a better English? I am not into that. Actually, I was dreaming of making a blog which is internationally known. People will know my blog, and my life. And I should work hard for that.

I learned how to promote blogs and website. And put adsense to my blog. But I don't know exactly how to make a good post on my blog. In my other blog with other language, I used to talk just about anything. Nothing specialized.

I talk about life and philosophy. Sometimes I just rant about my day. I have never had any idea on how a blog can be qualified as a good blog. I know everything should be learned, but I am not a good learner as well.

I like writing. I like it so much. I like to talk about anything in my life, and I was dreaming that I could one day make an earning from writing. Just, that never happened in my life. The only thing I can do for now, makin money from writing in some PTPost forums. And that's barely a good article. I have to make a good article. I want to be a writer.

This is the beginning.
