I can’t believe it myself! (warning-lameness ahead)
Deleting emails are so addictive!
i know right? who would have known that?
Well, this was the situation. i had some time to spare this afternoon before class, so I decided to check my emails as usual (ignoring the fact I’ve accumulated close to 3k of emails through the years) So, just like that, i started clicking on those emails and pressing “”delete”.. and i kid you not, it brought me down to memory lane.
Those emails mainly consists of subscribed newletters etc. That’s why i never bother to opened them. Only during the initial weeks when i’m so enthusiast about the topic whatsoever.
I encountered so many realization in one afternoon, I know it sounds like i’m boasting or bragging. But it literally felt that i was awed at myself. Rediscovering the person that i used to be, someone that I’ve forgotten after years. My inbox became an archive of the past.
note: I’ll be quoting years next, not to say that i’m old of anything okay.
i really can’t believe myself, (i know i’ve said it many times.. but i really do!)
I think i created the account in 2005, but my oldest email is in 2006. i think because i started playing Maple or something. lolz
I started subscribe to DPS since 2007! that’s even before i got my DSLR. Awesome tips gained from that website y’all. These days i don’t bother to visit the website anymore. Occasionally yes, most of the time? Lazy lar.
Subscribe in guitar lessons websites in 2007, that’s like 3 years before i actually really started practice the thing man.
Had so many blog comments few years back from frequent bloggers like Blaze, Kaili, John, Ruth…. etc.. where art you people these days huh??!!
Got Facebook in mid 2008, only bothered to use it in Dec XD
After exchange to Japan, i subscribed to so many Japanese online lessons thingy but never had the determination to push myself to learn more. Wished i had though..
Got twitter in mid 2009, never bothered to open it since. and i notice i never bothered to open Taylor’s CF emails.. (sorry!) i seriously don’t know why.. maybe it slipped from my eyes when i’m checking my emails :O
2010, Had so many emails from Japanesepod101 till the fact it’s so irritating that i have to unsubscribe it. =.= and inbox was also filled with AIESEC related emails ^.^.. but yea, as usual, i don’t bother to read them. thus, i’ve deleted majority of em just now, except the favourite ones. Noticed, that i’ve actually being offered a TN in Vietnam from Sept 2010-Dec 2010 even before i heard about project in Poland. =3= now i wonder what would have happened if i went Vietnam instead. Totally missed out that email man!
And also all sorts of spam emails.. even has one written in german.
I don’t know why i love subscribing to Airlines too.. it’s not like as if i can afford to buy the hefty tickets anyways.. sigh.
I’ve concluded that based on my emails, i was pretty much obsessed with photography, Japanese, Health (just, i subscribe to lots of sites, but never bother to open it as usual).. etc..i wonder what happened? Haha.. grown up and change? Has other priorities these days? shifts of hobbies? i don’t know lar.. yada yada..
Aww, one think i like about keeping emails even though i don’t read it cause it’s still a part of history. A bit sad it’s all gone now. T.T
Oh well, at least i have fewer junks in the inbox.
Nope, no pics.. sorry. but i’m fascinated that you manage to read till the last line
ok. bye.
PS: class cancelled tomorrow! woohoo, got a whole day free to do productive stuff! -.-



hey chris, i’ve been deleting emails too, and walking down the same road of discovery as you.. haha… times change, things change, we change… not always for the better though, i could use some of my hobbies back then, but i’ve already lost the heart for it… nothing stays the same though…
ps: i even help my friends delete their unread mail from n years back… lol…
don’t worry, I’m still alive.. ; )
