Why Do I Blog?

Dear all my Blogger friends in Indonesia, Happy National Blogger Day!  National Blogger Day was proclaimed on October, 27, 2007 by the Minister of Communication and Information Technology at the first national blogger party ( Pesta Blogger ) in Jakarta. It's the biggest blogger gathering around the country, attended by 500 bloggers. Actually, the first  Pesta Blogger was held one year after I signed up and joined blogging platform.
