The first post.

There are many times I would like to write, more of when lightning strikes the mind. It’s often random, and somewhat uncertain. But at those funny times, I feel motivated and determined to express how I feel and what I think in the most peculiar way. I am not a writer, nor do I have the motivation to write most of the time. But when I do, it feels as though I am possessed. Possessed with thoughts that somewhat makes me feel so philosophical, or rather condescending. I’d feel like using big words, with no stand to what I would be writing, rather writing revolving the big word just so I could use it to satisfy my narcissistic needs.

Funny how sometimes I would imagine to be the next Plato, only to realize up to some extend I would start sounding like a sixteen year old high schooler ranting her feelings on her new found blog. It is embarrassing. Nonetheless, I would like to use this as a platform to when those writing urges come, I could channel it to blog someway or another.

I am a scientist, so I hope I could channel the inner writer to something that would benefit my growth as a scientist. It is the nature of our job to constantly update ourselves with current researches, constantly read and study journals. With that, I would want to keep grounded and channel those urges into helping me understand and at the same time share the knowledge from which I have gained through reading or attending lectures and conferences. I am of course still a newbie, and my perceptions and opinions might clash yours, but I believe everyone is entitled to share what they learn and their perspectives… you’ll never know if it will be of benefit to someone (I know one way or another, it would help me… motivate me to read more and polish my writing skills)! Anyhow, life is a quest of seeking knowledge, and everyone is on his or her journey to seek more and more knowledge. It is a never-ending quest, and it shall never be enough!

Hopefully, this spirit wouldn’t die off halfway, and that you would stay and pass the words away (okay, I think you saw my attempt of making this rhyme, but failed miserably, teehee).
