Hi bloggy readers,
As i sat myself in front of my Lappy (actually my family's laptop), i was thinking about what will i be in the future? I mean, right now i am just thinking about finishing my college to get the Bachelor's Degree of Management Economy in order to get a normal job as an employee, and then save money for the future, and so on, and so on. But somehow, i am having a kind of bending the path thought in my mind.

What?
Yes, that's true, this feeling is stilll crawling inside my head, ensures me that my future belong to be a genuine blogger. But the question is, was that feeling strong enough to push me to not bothering myself to get a normal, stuck, boring, full-presure job after i graduate my college in the future? Maybe, some of you Blogger who read this article have the same and strange feeling that i experience right now or maybe, some of you who already reached that so called financial freedom life without a normal job, are trying to flashback your memory and remember that kind of feeling you had in the past. Yeah, many pro blogger i've met in blogosphere who already reached that succesful career as a Master Blogger, maybe, are having an Around the world trip right now, or maybe they are currently buying a new car they always wanted in their dream, or maybe some of them are doing a relaxing activity such as fishing, biking, climbing, or any activity they always love to do while their bank account is loaded with the money they earn as a blogger. Yaro Starak in one of the succesful blogger who already finished his Around the world trip thank to his blog. And the person who, maybe, right now is enjoying his new car is Alborz Fallah. Or maybe, Kang Rohman right now is smilling while his blog generating him lots of money. They are the senior blogger i've met in blogosphere and they are my sources of inspiration that encourage me a lot to enter a field of blogger.

Anyway, i have 2 elder brothers and 2 sisters. My first brother is currently running the family business, an event organizing, and my other brother is working as an engineer or Architect in one of the institution in Jakarta. I feel that, my brother (the Architect one) is struggling really hard to work in the institution where he works. Wake up in the morning, go to the office, return home almost late night, get a sleep, and then do those same and boring activities again in tomorrow morning from Monday to Friday, just like my Dad. Those situations has rushed me to find another Plan B that never crossed in my mind before, or even my family, which is by becoming a blogger. I am not saying that working hard in the offics is a stupid idea of getting money for the future, i am just thinking that, is it worth enough with the hard work we've done for that job later? Moreover, global crisis is starting to crash my country economic. Many companies are shutting down their business, while the others are struggling really hard to survive and retrenchment becomes the most terrifying word for all the employee across the world. Anyway, if you dont understand about what is the meaning of Retrenchment, let me define it with my own words.
"Retrenchment means the company must shrink their sources or costs by reducing their employees/costs in order to survive in the global crisis economic"
That's why, right now, my mind is forming a mind mapping to sort out this complicated situation which, of course, will be waiting for me to face it. And i figure it out that becomes a blogger is my real chance to bend the normal path that people usually pass to gain an income for their future.

That's why i keep thinking about changing my normal path in my family (getting a normal job -> working hard -> hoping to get promoted to the better position ->be a Boss -> and so on). I just think that, we have to be more creative in this complicated world. Go with the flow journey is not my style, i have to bend the journey in my life. I just believe in myself that one day i will be a succesful person in career but not as a full-pressured work force working in high-competitives-enterprise where the people in that area are elbowing each other or sucking up their boss to get a higher position. I just want to do my part as a blogger and makes lots of money and finally do my favourite activity, playing a guitar. So if you are experiencing the same feeling i feel right now, i just need to ask you all. Are You Destined to be a Blogger? Yeah..That question becomes cliche in blogosphere. For many succesful blogger, that question reminds them in the condition where they were only newbies on internet. They still do the information searching whether it's trustful and reliable information or just some scam, fooling every newbies on internet (yeah..It happened to me). And i bet it happened to all of you, right?

My first blog
My first blog was Gamelidz and i used Google Blogger service as a platform to share my favourite mobile games for free (especially for symbian OS 9 phone and Sony Ericcson phones) and in the last update, i've made some news about Iphone games and N-Gage, so if you are interested with those stuff, just off to Gamelidz, just type www.gamelidz.tk.

I admit that i did a truly newbies behavior in my first blog, and that is by doing a copy-paste articles (but with the sources address), but i realized that doing copy-paste articles is a basic mistake we shouldn't do. As a blogger, we must write an original articles in order to get a significant amount of visitors and gain a credibility in blogospere. But although Gamelidz can only gather around 30 visitors per day, i manage to collect about $30 per month by only placing link Ads in my homepage, yeah, not bad though. And i think, that is strong enough to ensure me that my future belong to be a Blogger. I am proud to release Gamelidz as my first experience of getting to know about what blog really is and i'm also proud that i created that blog not for money, i was just doing that for fun because i really love playing games with mobile phone, so i think it's paid off with my 9-month effort making a Gamelidz blog.

So i hope you've made a big decision right now, whether to choose the "go with the flow" journey or trying your luck in the most interesting path that no one have ever thought before, becoming a blogger. And again, i must say thanks to Lord Jesus to pick me the best and finest path of life i've never thought before.
