Why?: Website Name

          Why did you choose your specific website name? I'll explain my complete process with creating the blog 's URL. Firstly, I wanted to be creative with the name(but miserably failed). I came up with names like, Mel-Ablooming-nie, Mel-Abundant-nie, Mel-AMAZING-nie,etc. I wanted to make it personal with my name and an adjective that describes me.(For the record, I said Mel-AMAZING-nie as a joke to my cousin, soooo don't take that one seriously. I'm  not THAT cocky :P ). 
          Then I wanted to go with the "Ablooming" one, but my cousin thought that the "nie" part looked weird. As you can see, I care about her opinion :3 . Then I decided to just use adjectives: AbundantAbloomingAsian. <-- as you can tell, I am Asian. The problem with this is that it may be too long, sooo I wanted to go with: AsianAblooming. Nevertheless, I second-guessed it and thought that using "Asian" in the URL, would otherwise be interpreted as being cool or "having swag", which I could really careless about. This may be offensive to some of you, but I see it used more-so because of that ^ reason. Also, I am by no means ashamed of being an Asian :) 
          Now, there were 2 reasons as to why I chose adjectives starting with an A. Firstly, because it would fit with the A in my name,which was my goal, starting. Secondly, because I thought it would be funny if I had 3 "A" adjectives, which would showcase me as getting, A's as a grade since I'm an Asian? That was a lame joke so I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't get it. Finally, I chose "stillblooming" to state that I'm blossoming or growing and not GROWN like everyone would think of me as.
          Since, I have physically grown up so tall so fast, it makes others think of me as tough or in control, which gives me more "power" I guess? than normal teens my age. Btw, I am about 5' 8". Also, mentally I have grown. I remember in grade 7, I started to care more about my academics. It was extremely weird. I AIMED for straight A's, which I would of otherwise just have been happy with half of my report card A's and others B's. When I was younger, I was your average student. However now I aim high and try to earn it. So far, it is quite maintained. It even got crazy once when I aimed for 90's+ marks -_-. Talk about tiring yourself out. To add to that, I was also adapted to being the one to take responsibility or to be a leader. I would have chores when I was really young. I remember learning how to wash the dishes at the age of 5 and vacuuming weekly at the age of 8 !! 
          I hope to blog so that I could document this fast-paced development of ME! I can look back to see what I typed five years ago and know about how I saw things. Oh and I think I am going to write some posts about " Why?:" . I'll probably use it for things that need to be farther explained in other posts, so that you may get a better understanding. Blogging is great.
