What's with the Name?

I have always thought of starting my own blog when I leave the Philippines, thinking that I'll have more time for myself, but to my dismay, it's the other way around. I don't know why but it feels like time flies so fast here in Singapore and weekends just whiz past you. You wake up and realize that it's Monday again. So here I am, almost 7 months later, and I finally found a few minutes to set this thing up. As my first post, I'll explain the name I chose for this blog:

The Lorong of Dodong

Lorong is the Indonesian for alleyway which simply stands for a narrow street in a city (source here). It is commonly used in street names in Singapore and it rhymes with my nickname so the whole phrase has a nice ring to the ears (mine, at least).

This blog will be an account of whatever comes to my thoughts - ideas (bright, crazy, or stupid), happenings, opinions, plans, observations, emotions... anything - and reading this will be like taking a stroll in the alleyways of my mind. You'll get to know more of what goes on behind my timid, quiet, and serious façade.

So that's it, I hope you'll enjoy your time in the Lorong of Dodong. I will be happy to read your comments.
