Can you bite a ‘biskut keras’? I bet you can’t! Ever wonder why Juan (an MBP Ambassador) named her blog as BeskotKeras (naah.. that’s not a spelling mistake)? Let’s se what Juan has to say about her blog’s name. 
1. What is your blog’s name and URL?
Blog name: i shall not stop writing (http://beskotkeras.blogspot.com)
2. Why your blog’s name like that one?
Well at first, it didn’t start as that. My first blog was named ‘thru d eyes of toughcookie’ because I wrote according to my views on life (some friends call me a ‘tough cookie’). But that blog got hijacked and i had to move my URL to another address. Hence, I am basically telling everyone that no matter what people would do to me, I shall not stop writing. This tough cookie lives on [well, at least in the blog world, that is 
]
3. Where do you get the idea to give such name to your blog?
I am motivated to write because people read me and they want to know what else I think about things in life. Therefore, I guess the name’s suitable. As for the URL, it is just an amusing direct translation to my nick, toughcookie. Hence, ‘beskotkeras’.
4. Please tell a bit about yourself.
My dad gave me a spanish name and people around me calls me, Juan. I am staying in Petaling Jaya and have stayed there almost all my life! I love PJ. I think it is such a good place to grow up in and to raise kids. I used to head a group corporate communications department in an oil & gas services company and decided to take a break from work after the delivery of my 2nd child, Jada.
During my confinement, though, I was given some projects by several contacts and I have since then been working from home doing work that relate to the communications and PR industry.
Got married very young, at age 20 and learnt the facts of life the hard way – that life isn’t a bed of roses and happiness comes from within. I am so grateful to the Almighty to be given the chance at discovering what true love really means after going through life as a single mom for 7 years. I am now very married and very happy to be able to accomplish work yet able to prioritise family’s needs above all else, and I believe I’ve found solace.
5. Who inspire you to blog?
I have always loved to pen my thoughts. But, I discovered the beauty of blogging while writing for a newsletter on internet/IT developments. At that time, I did a research on how the internet and www played a very important role during the 2004 tsunami tragedy, and I learnt what a powerful influence the blogs had on disseminating information across the globe.
Hence, I started to pen my thoughts through my blog, writing about what I feel strongly about, at that time mostly on soul search, finding out things about myself, searching deep down in me on what I want out of life and what I thought about my surrounding.
6. What do you do with your blog?
At first, it was only meant as a channel to express my thoughts since I love to write. The best part was, meeting my soul mate through blogging. Yes, I met my husband while blog-hopping and I guess I then realised what a difference my life became just from that decision to blog. Nowadays, I still blog to share my thoughts with people and hoping to make money through blogging as well.
7. Who read your blog?
I have made friends with many strangers who write to me (especially via email) and follow me on my twitter account, after they read my blog. Family and friends are usually only silent readers.
8. What do you think about MomBloggersPlanet.
The reason I joined MBP was because I felt that the entries promote self-development and improvement for women. At that time, I wanted to get more information on how I can make money online and I felt that the articles were very informative and useful to me. I like it that MBP promotes unity among moms who blogs and it is considered my one-stop site if I’d want to refer to any information and check the forums for any tips that are beneficial to me.
It is not just a source of info but it also incorporates active discussion and interaction, which is very important so that all members are able to participate in a discussion or information/knowlegde-sharing. Best of all, the chance of a lifetime to be a part of this only local site for mothers (and dads) who blog, that allowed me to get to know other moms and make new friends.
