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. Starting My First Blog I started writing blog 12 years ago. Some people would say "COOL! Awesome! or Great!", but I think this is not something that determines or becomes a measure that I am a reliable blogger. I'm not that good. I always try my best. What I realize, there are so many young and new bloggers that have better writing skills, even their blogs are better than mine. Whereas, I still use the old template, but I love it so much.

The Classic Tale of Sleeping Beauty: Briar-Rose

We must be familiar with fairy tales. I used to listen to fairy tale stories when I was a child, my favorite was the bed time stories. Fairy tales generally take place in a far-off place and time, typically begin with “Once upon a time.” In the land of fairy tales, magical happens. A fairy tale often tells the story of an individual, takes into the entire life, and generally ends happily. The traditional and common closing line of a fairy tale is, “...and they lived happily ever after.” In the early 19th century, the German brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, scholars who studied folklore, linguistics, and literary history, began collecting and recording old German folktales. The tales were often full of supernatural elements such as witches, talking animals, and magical kingdoms. One of the tales that the Grimm brothers collected was a version of the story of Sleeping Beauty known as Briar-Rose.
