I've decided to go back to blogspot. It seems like when I moved to spaces, I sometimes have problems accessing the page, or it takes forever to load photos, or it just seems harder in general. So I've not been updating much. I've had problems with blogspot in the past, but I think it would be easier for me to use blogspot as I can upload photos from flickr to my blog.

It's been a really busy time for me as Faraz and I are preparing to leave the Baha'i World Centre next Wednesday. But once we get to Singapore, I can see me doing a lot more updates about our activities etc. But I'm gonna miss serving in Haifa.

So from now on, please go to my blogspot instead. I think I'll be using that till I get my own site maybe sometime next year.

How to dissuade yourself from becoming a blogger

Hahahha.....

I came across this article today... i guessed it hasn't worked on me yet. I think they might be trying to promote wiki instead. :P

How to Dissuade Yourself from Becoming a Blogger

What a buzz all the bloggers are making these days! It seems like just about everybody is pouring their musings into a text box. Are you feeling tempted to start a blog of your own? Here are some ways to bypass the trend.

Steps

Find five completely random blogs, and read them daily for a month. After thirty days, you will absolutely dread your self-imposed requirement to read all that dreck. Any blog you create will most likely be on par with what you've been reading. Don't put anyone through that.
Consider that your voice, even if it is truly a good one, is a tiny peep against the massive wave of tripe out there. The odds of anyone you don't already know finding your blog are low.
Write on a regular basis in Wordpad instead. If that doesn't satisfy your urge, and you feel that you must post your blog online, then you might just be craving attention and validation--which you'll never truly find in a blog. If you give up on your Wordpad journal after about three days, you'll do the same with a blog that just takes up server space.
Ask yourself if you really have the time to commit to a blog. What about that treehouse you wanted to build? Or the book you wanted to write? Or the car you wanted to fix up? Or the restaurant you wanted to take your wife to? Or the new career you wanted to pursue? Instead of writing about pretty much nothing, or whining about all the things you wish you were doing instead, start doing something that'd actually be worth writing about. And if it's really worth writing about, you'll be having too much fun doing it to tear yourself away from it.

Tips

If attention and validation is what you're looking for, know that you will get neither from blogging. As above, very few people will ever know that your blog (or you, by proxy) exists. Of those who do find it, a large percentage will be flamers and trolls, who will only post comments to you about how you suck. The remainder of comments posted to your blog will be sappy treacle, which you won't trust as being sincere anyway.
Consider writing on a wiki instead. Unlike most blogs, wikis like Wikipedia and wikiHow are read by millions of people each month. Several wikiHow authors receive "fan mail" messages every day from appreciative readers. In addition, many authors discover that they enjoy the wiki collaborative writing process more than writing in solitude.

...

MSN has a new outlook again and i'm trying to get used to it. I don't think that I like it too much though. But if their photo upload turns out to be faster, then maybe I'll stick around.

Last night I lost count of the number of sirens that sounded... I'm just hoping that both sides keep to the agreement of the ceasefire. Meanwhile, we've been packing and shipping boxes of stuff to Australia. We'll be leaving for Singapore/Australia end of September, and hopefully get to go to Cape Town if we get tickets from Singapore.
