Let me tell you why I decided to call my blog “the Domino Effect”. Actually the reason is very simple. No, it isn’t because I love playing with dominoes during my free time, I don’t think I can recall the last time I played with dominoes!
I was pondering about a name for the blog and I couldn’t find anything. A lot of people use their nickname or a thing they really like at the moment, but I wanted something that could last for a long time. If I used a nickname, chances are in a few years I wouldn’t use that nickname, same goes for a thing I like right now…people change and so do interests. Also, I could have used something related to Korea, but then I don’t want to blog only about my experience there (you'll notice my heading!). So…
I thought about my name, Dominique…then I heard my high school friend calling me “domino” from a far away memory. That friend was the only one allowed to call me domino because I didn’t like it and it was also our private joke. In Korea, you say domino, people reply “domino pizza” instantly T__T But then, I thought of the domino effect and felt that it really reflects my life, in a positive way. The same way dominoes fall on each other, my life has been a series of event that followed each other. Each event lead to another in ways I never imagined.
I guess everyone’s life is like a series of dominoes…also, everyone’s life also affect the people around them. So it’s a big metaphor that gave me this blog title idea, plus my name is similar and on top of all it allows me to write about anything I want (hahaha *evil laugh*)
I’m going to be busy during the next weeks, but I’ll try to keep on writing, because I really need to get this blog going!
