At June 2012, Warna Warni asked me in this
comment :" Why did you choose "innocentia" as the name of your blog?"
Here you go, a short story about a name
Innocentia is a latin word. It consists of in- (negating prefix) + nocentia "guilt, transgression", and means "no guilt" or "innocence". I choose it not because I felt that I was innocent, at that time. No, absolutely not about that :D
At first year in college, around year 2000-2001, I was hooked on internet as a new way to connect with artisans community. I was on mIRC, chatting (remember, anyone?) I set up an account in deviantart, enjoyed anime and manga chats on kafegaul, and started up a free website on tripod/lycos or Yahoo! Geocities (unfortunately, geocities had been shut-down by Yahoo!, and most of my digital uploads couldn't be saved) Yup, I am an old-school kind of girl.
My first portfolio website built under Yahoo!geocities was named "Page of Innocence" or "P.O.I". See.. that word came to my head almost a decade ago. "Innocence" was a main theme in one of manga story which I drafted early at 1999
My first blog built using blogger was named "Innocentias". I You can see its screenshot here. AlhamduliLLAH, I still save the screenshot
Please don't bother to try reading my old blog posts above. They were kinda nostalgic, but they also left me shameful, in a good way, haha..
My second blog in blogger had "Innocentia Diary" as its name. I never used that blog to post anything.
The last "Innocentia" in my online portfolio is this blog. I named this blog "innocentia" to make me remember a long journey I've made with the name, and with a strong intention to stop neglecting any blog.
And suddenly, it has been almost three years since I started Innocentia. I hope this short story can inspire you, whoever you are, to be consistent in any path you choose to take, and can encourage me to keep blogging
And please share :
what is the meaning of your blog's name? does it have a special meaning, a strong connection to your history/life, or maybe just a random name you chose?
