The Reason I Started Tumblr:

I used to write in my Xanga (there’s a link on my tumblr if you want to check it out) consistently, ever since I made it on October 29, 2003 in my freshman year of high school. Whoah, that sounds really crazy now that I think about it. Almost ten years ago. Anyway, Once I got to college, I didn’t have as much time to update since I got hella active. I did short recaps of things that I did so that I could remember, but one post would end up spanning about one or two weeks. At the end of my second year, I found out about tumblr and a lot of my friends in Samahang had one, so I was like, why not. I liked the structure of it and I liked how easy it was to post pictures and music and what not. I said goodbye to Xanga in June and this is where I have been since. Part of me wants to go back to my Xanga since I don’t write the same way here as I did there, but then I realize that time is still the issue.

The Reason for my Tumblr Name:

So I might change my tumblr name soon since it is getting old. First of all, I hate the shortening “Al” so I prefer “Alv” or “Alvy” if you are going to shorten it (or AC like my family and relatives calls me). It just so happened that the word in was in my name too, so therefore, playing on that, the alv is in instead of out. I also thought about how Ryan Seacrest has his “Seacrest Out!” thing but I never found the right time to say “AlvOUT!” Maybe because there is no right time to do that.
