If you guys pay attention carefully, you will find out that this blog's URL is no longer akibbernyanyi.blogspot.com; but had been changed to akibaryou.blogspot.com.
Yes, it is now all 'Akib Aryou'. With the change, I finally answer my question in 'Comeback. No?'. I was questioning myself: will I continue this blog; or shut it down and start a new one? But months had passed since; and at that time, I had myself thinking. I always embrace my history. What I am today is a metamorphosis of that then-me.
This blog is the record. I had started this blog at 2008, when I was in the 8th grade. At the time, it was named 'Gudang Saya' which means 'My Warehouse'. My old posts, when I read that again lately, was totally, in Indonesian, alay. Corny and cheesy. I remember that I said to myself, 'Crap, how could I make such silly posts?'
But, that was my history. I was silly, I was corny; I was cheesy. That is a part of my history that I cannot erase. Moreover, I realized that I don't want to erase it. Why? Because I want to remind myself who I was; and how I changed, slowly, through years that came. I ever said to my bestie, "We need alay to overcome." We need to be awful, to make mistakes; so we learn to be good, to do something right.
First posts of 'Gudang Saya' maybe are some of the worst posts in the blogosphere. But since that, I have learned how to write better. Though I started it with no focus, it helped me to build my own point and expanding my perspective; and with that, creating my own style. I changed and this blog helped me to. It will be totally ungratituous to shut this blog down and erase all records of my teenage metamorphosis. So I have decided: I am keeping this blog and will continue writing.

Yet, I know that this blog need to be renewed. Neither of 'Gudang Saya' nor 'Akib Bernyanyi' reflect the way I am today. We need to refresh this warehouse! And I am not a stranger to the word 'makeover'. Even since junior high school, I developed a public personality which first known as Rococo Hearts. Since that, the alter ego had gradually metamorphosed.
2010, as Rococo Hearts.
2011, as Rococo Vanguard.
2012, better known as Vanguard.
Now, we are heading to 2013, and this blog needs to be renewed. But how it will be renewed? What wil be the name?
I looked back to the late years. Since 2011, I became the high-school announcer in JogjaFamily Radio for the teenage program Zona Pelajar (click JogjaStreamers for radio streaming). When I first joined the radio, my program producer, Kak Dira, asked me, what will me my nickname for the program?
I started to think quickly. I knew that I will not use any of 'Rococo' nor 'Vanguard' as my nickname. That would sounds strange yet unfamiliar. Somehow, I wanted to embrace my original name, too. I wanted to be recognized by people who had known me before I joined the radio. I mixed my original name and that's it: Akib Aryou. This may sounds narcisstic, but I love that name. I want to keep my history, but I want to give it my latest touch. I am not going to destroy a temple; I am retouching it. With the name, I did not leave my original name; it is just being refreshed and given a dynamic touch. I use that as my radio nickname and in every designs, every artwork that I made since.
So it had been decided: I will use the name for my blog. The times of akibbernyanyi.blogspot.com had gone. It is now the time for akibaryou.blogspot.com.
It will mark a new beginning for this blog as I am going to revitalize this A Warehouse. I will post articles more often and you can expect that at least, there will be a new post every month. Also, I had found my answer for Someday, Today post. The most important thing is not starting things big; but start things now. So, next year I am going to experiment more on making photoshoots by adding a new type of article labeled as Photoshoot.
Still, I am open to opinions. I know that not all of you agree of the URL's change, so I will be happy to know your opinions on it. If you support the change, please mark the 'keren' block on the Reactions panel below this post. If you disagree with the change, please mark the 'aneh' block instead. You can also add your comment for further explanations. The voting will be closed at Wednesday, December 26th, marked with the publication of my first photoshoot. (Just don't get shocked when it have been posted, please, hahaha.)
Well, that is the end of the story. Please forgive me if this long, long post bores you. But still, vote your opinion, please. :)
Thank you for your time and attention. The voting is officially opened! :)
