Quote of The Moment
"It's okay, we can work with this!"
- Deckard Wizard (Bee and Puppycat)
Its is I. Hello and good day, everyone!!~ ヽ(＾▽＾)人(＾▽＾)人(＾▽＾)ﾉ
Alright.
So last Tuesday, our blogging club had a guest speaker to share to us her experiences regarding blogging and stuff to take to mind when we blog.
Anyway, this person I talk of is Ms. Patty Laurel (You can visit her blog here)
She's a nice person >u< Real friendly~
Ok, so let me summarize and talk about what I've learned.
I'm partly doing this 'cause it's required for club LOL
ANYWAY...
To start things off, I'd like to talk about what to remember whenever you blog.
Ms. Laurel said that we should remember that whatever we put up online stays online. Because this is the internet, everyone can gain access to whatever you put on your blog. It's hard to take back what has been said. For example, you badmouth someone on the net. People can see that. The person you've badmouthed about will be hurt, of course. It will be equally hard to say sorry to him/her, since you practically announced it on the internet.
It is also important to regard your own privacy. I mean, you just DON'T share your address to everyone. It'd be creepy if some stranger just visits your house and be like "Hey I'm here to visit you"
Like what the heck, right?
It's also important to be true to yourself. When you post images on your blog, make sure to state sources if it's not yours. And be honest with your pictures! Don't photoshop it to give yourself blue eyes and whatnot.
Also, make sure that whatever you write down is honestly what you think. It is best to come clean, because whatever you put up can be used against you.
Well, there are a lot of other stuff actually. I just thought you might get bored with my speech, so I'll cut it short.
To sum up:
In blogging...
1. Be honest with what you write. As much as possible, do not pretend
2. Think if what you're writing can hurt someone
3. Be careful of what you put up
4. Learn to differentiate constructive criticism from comments that are just meant to make you feel depressed
5. Blog because that's what you honestly really enjoy doing
So.... That's kinda about it, bros~ Thanks also to Ms Laurel for spending time to share with us her blogging experiences!~
Leave a comment and stuff.... Much appreciated >_<
Thanks for reading and see you dudes next time~ (~ ^o^)~ ~(^o^ ~)

The Blogmistress
A brief introduction of Her Royal Weirdness
Hello everyone, I go by Cossette— welcome to my blog! I'm a nineteen-year-old Chinese-Filipino law student studying abroad in Australia. I like to obsess over musicals, edgy memes, and general geekery. I spend most of my time sorting through syllabi for my classes, baking cookies, or lurking on Reddit. Since I'm on break from university however, I have also began binge watching lots and lots of shows on Netflix (what's a girl to do, after all?)
I am also that girl who is too emotional for my own good, and has a sad penchant for laughing (at myself, usually). Alas, perhaps my own peculiarity has scared off potential friends, but who cares? Someday, I will find my kin, my madcap ilk. But until then, I'll be sticking around here ┐(︶▽︶)┌
L O V E S: Books My friends Homestuck
D I S L I K E S: Flying monstrosities (get those cockroaches away from me) Scary things The abysmal state of my internet connection
W I S H L I S T: To enjoy Christmas with my friends + family!
Faster internet pls Happiness for everyone More time to read books please
Here are some cool blogs by cool people! Also, link exchange is OPEN! Please feel free to comment on any blog posts to get in touch with me if you'd like to exchange links with each other :)
About The Blog
A description of my little corner of the blogosphere
This digital abode of mine was established back in August 2013 as a requirement for my participation in our high school's blogging club. Thus, I scrambled to create one, The Random Thoughts of A Socially-Awkward Optimist— the very website that you are currently viewing. I've long since quit (not to mention graduated from high school), but typing away my thoughts in this blog is rather therapeutic, and I like thinking that perhaps a smile has made its way onto someone's face because of what I write :)
“Sonder” is probably the best word that would describe all reasons why I maintain this blog. The word can be briefly defined as the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own, and through this blog, I wish to be able to satiate that feeling in other people by retelling my anecdotes, thoughts, and rants, and hopefully I would also be able to lift up spirits along the way.
Life moves on and change is constant. But I want to document my experiences somehow: those ugly-crying moments, existential crises, or tears of joy and sadness. Then once change runs its course, we can all look back at these moments and laugh at our own naiveté. And hopefully, I can do just that by typing it all away in this blog.
The Jukebox
Current aesthetic: quiet holiday mornings, the smell of Christmas in the air
A little disclaimer: I don't own nor make money off of any of these songs, it's all just for a little good fun and mood-setting lol
These are the music playing in the blog. I hope you like listening to it as much as I do ◕ ‿ ◕ Simply click on the title of the song, and it will direct you to where I got it ❤
Books
