Day 24: Explain your blog's name.

When I started this blog, I was still an undergrad student in my second to last quarter of the undergrad years. During that time, I absolutely have no idea what I want to do after the graduation. I decided to not apply to any of graduate schools and have not started looking for jobs to get after the graduation. 

My plan of that moment is to live at my parents' house after the graduation and figure out what I really want to do. I know I want to do something related with animals and environment but I felt lost. I was not motivated enough to pursue my dream, and I went through a hard time. Things were changing so fast that I barely could keep up.

People were talking about their futures and what they have in their mind. I couldn't relate to them. Some of them decided to stay one or two more years at college, others decided to start their career right away, and rest are going to graduate schools. I was getting left behind. 

All I know what I wanted to do is to travel. I just wanted to go out and explore. I thought about starting this blog as something to liven up my boring life. Something like short stories of misfit adventures that I go through as I learn more about myself. That didn't really worked out that much, though. I got distracted and honestly, I have forgotten about my blog for a while. 

I hoped to use this blog as something to follow me as I take turns and twists that is my life. I sorta did and didn't. I kept up for a while then I stopped when I started working at my former college as a tutor and rarely posted any posts and then stopped completely when I went to Japan and then moved to Seattle. There are plenty of posts I wanted to write but time had escaped me and I never gotten around to write them. I will one day as a flashback post, especially about Japan!

I am still finding my place in the world, I am not there yet. I also have hoped that I will end my blog when I am satisfied with my life, which probably will be never because there are too many things I want to do!

But... what about 'oddities'?

Well, the life works in a funny and strange way. More than often, things you wanted to achieve happens in an unexpected ways. So, my attempts of finding my place in the world are going to be peculiar, just as anybody else's. 

Hence, the name of my blog!
