Hello COMS 205 class

Hey all, I guess I should introduce myself to everyone. My name is Shahirah (Sha-he-rah, like Shakira but with an ‘h’) and I’m from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I major in Communications Studies with a minor in Political Studies.

I’ve owned a blog before… from way back when I was 15! It was a trend amongst the social circle I was in back in KL so I guess I got hooked on to it as well. To be honest, I wasn’t into the actual blogging…. what I really enjoyed was designing layouts for my blog using Adobe Photoshop. Although I have to admit having a blog did help my friends and I keep each other updated with what’s going on in our lives when we moved to different parts of the world. Eventually I stopped blogging due to lack of time (and inspiration) and these days I just like to sit back and enjoy other people's blogs.

Who would’ve thought an old hobby would come in handy someday? See you in class!
