PiM 2009 Reaches its Milestone

Poetry In Motion - Welcomes 2009 in Color

Okay, today is a very important day for my blog. This is the 100th post and i'm proud that the blog is still alive and running. Sure there has been times when i don't update it and sometimes my posts are not very nice to read and lack pictures. But hey, this is a new start. 2009 baby! I have a good feeling about this year. I don't know why but theres just a buzz bout this year and something tells me i should welcome this year with open arms. I even made a brand new header for the blog so i hope you guys would give me some comments about it, good or bad just lay it on me. Anyways, Happy 100th Post, Tristan! Lets just say i have this dual personality thing, or maybe a superhero name and mine is Tristan. For example, Batman has Bruce Wayne, Superman has Clark Kent and Buayaman has Kiatisak Chua. So you get it now? I'm sure you do. So lets talk more about this new thing, Poetry In Motion (PiM) i mean. What's it about?

Alright, there won't be much addition to the blog, maybe i'll just spice it up with more pictures and jazz it up with more funky colors. It's not going to satisfy everyone but at least i know one that will be very satisfied, guess who? So okay, heres the deal, before PiM was introduced, my blog never really had a direction and my posts are mostly random, but hey isn't that what blogs are about? Well, sorta.. but i think its just best to make things a bit more systematic, so i will be labeling my future posts on what they will be about, for example, Music, Football, Gaming, Art and etc etc. That way, the ladies can skip stuff like Football and Gaming, for the guys, umm..you'll live. I'll explain more about each category later on.

Why Poetry In Motion? Well, i don't know actually. I have been thinking of something new to make my blog look and sound better so i started thinking for a new name for this old place. Then it hit me, PiM was what i thought of. I would not say this is an original cause' PiM is actually a very famous wrestling move used by 2 wrestlers many years ago. Heard of the Hardy Boyz? Jeff and Matt Hardy? They have a sweet move called PiM. When i was a small kid, back in the days when i thought wrestling was real (Its fake, everything is planned..so haha!) i use to watch them a lot and besides,
Poetry In Motion sounds cool anyway. Haha! Okay so now i'll explain more about the categories.

Music

If you're a close friend of mine, you would know how much i love music. Who in this world doesn't love music? If you don't then you're a freak, grats to you. Sadly, i do not know how to play any instruments but i sure hope to learn in the future. And when my computer or laptop is on, theres always music on as well. Music plays an important part in life and often it dictates people's lives. I listen to a huge variety of music. Any genre, you name it but i love Rock a lot and maybe a pinch of RnB. I always love something with guitars and drums in it. I was exposed to music back when i was in kindy, thanks to my brothers. Until today, Darren Hayes(Savage Garden) still awe me with his brilliant voice. Same goes to Rob Thomas(Matchbox 20) and John Rzeznik(Goo Goo Dolls).

Football
This is probably one of the easiest things to talk about. If you know me well enough, you would know how much i adore this game. Theres so much excitement and drama about this sport that it just keeps me glued to the tele for the full 90 minutes. Theres a lot of teams out there and a HUGE majority of Malaysians support the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool(Typical Malaysians). Not me, I am a fan of Tottenham Hotspurs, a team from North London that has an impressive history. No, this is not a top team but i am still proud to be a fan and i watch as many Spurs games as possible. I have been a fan for this team for almost 8 years now and i plan to die as one! I am a very passionate person, and football is just another passion for me, just like music.

History
Whats that about history you ask?Umm, not sejarah. THAT sucks, what i am referring to is Greek and Egyptian Mythology. You know? Umm, its like those stories about heroes and gods in the ancient times. I like Norse mythology too. Actually, anything old and interesting. I've always shown much interest in stuff like this, especially Greek myths. There is so much we can learn about them and whenever i have the chance, i'll read and study about them.

Art
I absolutely love art. This was mostly influenced by my eldest brother who is a really great artist himself. He draws really well and i picked up a lot from him. I can draw, but i will not say how good it is cause' i will not judge myself. Dancing is also a form of art, and this i got it from my second brother, he is an awesome dancer. He choreographs routines and i too have picked up a little bit from him. My dancing abilities are of course not very good, compared to me and a pencil. I really hope to develop both skills later on in life, together with learning a musical instrument. I've done a few pieces of doodles in this blog before, if you're new here, be sure to check the archives and check out my work and comment on it too! thanks!

Gaming
Gaming is something guys do i suppose, girls, are more into shopping and watching television. Haha! Well, everyone plays games and i play games too. I invent games too, when i was in primary school, i always made games to play in school. Just a piece of paper and a pencil or sometimes just paper. I remember making action figures. But its a bit fuzzy and made card games too, like Pokemon and such. Haha! That was all achieved together with my good friend, Eiven who also has a great imaginative skills. Imagination is very important when it comes to gaming, if you cant imagine, you're going to be boring and end up shopping and watching TV. What games do i play? umm, RTS, FPS, RPG, MMORPG. My favorite games are, every edition of Football Manager, World of Warcraft and any football game on Ps2.

Life

When i blog about this category, it is mostly about parties, or outings with my friends. Or just simply a post about a friend. This is mostly random, just like life itself, random. Haha!


So i guess this is it about Poetry In Motion. A lot more color, more pictures and definitely more interesting posts! I welcome 2009 with open arms and pray, that everything turns out well for me and for all those around me. Stay tuned for more updates! Thanks!

tristan/cyen - Happy 100th Post!!
