See that 'P' symbol there on the left side of this page? The one right below the title bar? Please don't tell me you're blind! D:

I shall do a little rambling about that little 'P' symbol in this post. :D

It is actually the symbol for 'Pinterest'. Now not many people know of it, even I didn't until I stumbled upon some random person's blog and read that she was going on and on about Pinterest. Which got me interested, because whatever she posted about Pinterest... sort of lifted my heart a little. Bizarre as it sounds, but it makes me feel that tang of internal happiness, the pure kind, where it really is very difficult to explain or express, really.

So, I clicked on it, and I went on for the whole day, just browsing through, looking for pics that made me happy. Then, suddenly it became an addiction. In order to participate in this Pinterest thingy, you actually need an invite. Which I felt, makes it much more personal. Hehe. When I first thought that they only allow invited people to join Pinterest, I thought I wouldn't have a shot. But I was already satisfied with the fact that this THING actually exist, so I gave it a try anyhow. Silly me, I got super excited when I was accepted. HAHAHA

Was going on and on about it on Twitter, that a friend asked, what is with the outrage of Pinterest. Then I mentioned that it was somesort of photo sharing website where you share interest and like them and such. She then said, 'isn't that like Tumblr?'. I guess it does. But the fact that tumblr has so many random pics of random things, it just didn't feel at all... personal? It was more of a place for people to show off what makes them happy, more than 'finding' what makes them happy.

LOL! I JUST SAID THAT! showing off vs finding.
That's big of a topic, isnt' it? :P

Then not too long ago, I was talking about Pinterest again with a friend. Which made me wikipedia what it really was so that I need not explain in detail where I would get a frustrating response : isn't it like Tumblr? Then I found out more interesting facts about Pinterest. HAHAHAHAHAH. Interesting enough for me, that it is so personal, yet it is ranked. Though it may rank much lower than Tumblr, but since it gave me that personal touch, it just made it even more... PERSONAL! :D

I would spend hours upon hours, just searching for things that had made me happy before, or to even randomly browse and find something that would make me smile.

There is also another website, 9gag? But 9gag is more on the entertainment side. Where I would waste ample amount of time, browsing and fall upon something to laugh at. It's different.

What do we do on Pinterest?
Basically we just scroll through the site, until we find a gem. When we notice that gem, we can choose to like it. Not liking it, is fine too, but what I normally do is that I would create a 'board' as the folder and then 'repin' that gem onto my board. This way, I can come back and view my board again and find everything that made me happy, on that board. :)
There come times where people would follow your boards and see what happy things you have, they can repin your gems and then the process repeats.
It is basically a sanctuary for you to find your common interest with strangers. Which is JOY! :D
BTW. my term of gem really meant 'PINS' in Pinterest terms. :P
You can upload pins too! Whether for your own likings or for sharing, it's still do-able.
Create more boards and fill those boards up with happy things.

Pretty much unlimited.

OH! You can upload videos too!!!

Find happiness. It's everywhere! <3
