I started blogging in 2003 at LiveJournal. Entitled The Lonely Vampire Chronicles, it is a very personal blog. It had somehow managed to contain posts about politics and technology, so it is also a mashup of my musings about my interests.

Why The Lonely Vampire Chronicles?

At that time, I was playing Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on PS2. So there. (Don’t ask me about the Lonely part. I think it’s obvious. =P )

In August of 2005, I had decided to get my own domain, AWBHoldings.com, which then hosted just this blog. The next year, it also hosted The Lonely Vampire Chronicles.

Why?

Because in my previous workplace, LiveJournal was suddenly blocked. Asking around, the reason given me was stupidsilly: LJ “was” a dating site.

Anyway, with the beauty of LiveJournal Cross-poster plugin, I was able to update my LJ blog this way, though I couldn’t read my friends page. After a few months, it was unblocked.

So what’s the use, then?

The LiveJournal version contains all the blog posts under the AWBHoldings network. Also, it contains several personal posts that I am not comfortable sharing with a lot of people (these posts are locked). Nope, contrary to what others say, these locked entries are not searchable.

So The Lonely Vampire Chronicles under the AWBHoldings network will contain personal posts that I feel are safe to share with you. It will be a recollection of things past, observations about the environment I’m in, descriptions of people I meet and see. Just don’t expect love-related posts. =P

Anyway, please welcome back The Lonely Vampire Chronicles, and I hope you enjoy throwing tomatoes at your monitors. Just kidding. Sayang yung kamatis.

PS: You might wonder how come there are few posts. Actually it contained a lot more, but I had deleted them. Most of them are work-related rants, anyway.
