Moleskine

I used to have a nice kind of handwriting when I was in high school. You know, practice makes better: I was supposed to write in order to study, at school, at home, anywhere. I had a passion to buy a better notebook, better pen, better eraser in order to enjoy writing.

Since I started to spend most of my life in front of a computer (which means, late high school – early university times), I lost the need, passion and talent to write. I couldn’t remember the last time I spent money for stationery. Till last week.

I bought one of those Moleskine notebooks. I know, it’s the latest “fashion”, might be (for some people) overrated and overpriced. But still, if it would help me to regain the passion and fun to write, it’s worth spending that money.

Nevertheless, here’s a funny critic about Moleskine and its fans: http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/2009/02/24/122-moleskine-notebooks/

Hello world!

I guess this is my 3rd personal blog so far.

I’ve started blogging in 2005, when I was working as an intern in Germany. That was my first abroad experience, and I had a thrill to share my experiences with my family and friends back in Turkey. That was one of that good old MSN Spaces, one of the oldest blogging environments that I could remember. Then I gave a loong break, and started blogging on my blogspot account, in 2006.

Now I’ll make a new shot with WordPress, which stands out as being the most professional beside its predecessors.

I even paid for a domain this time (I should confess that I’m not that creative about domain name, don’t take it as narcissism :).

I decided to keep blogging in English from now on, and I’ll stick to this idea as much as I can. It’ll be a bit unusual to me, but I want this blog be readable by everyone.

Okay, let’s get started.
