Route 87
It’s kind of funny to bring my old blogs title up as the first post I write for this new site of mine. (*yipeee* for my own site!!). Did I say my old blogs title? Well, it’s true that I use Route 87 for my blogs at wordpress and yahoo. I’ve been meaning to tell you about this Route 87 for quite some time and what could be more perfect than doing that now, when I decide not to use it anymore (hey, Ra! Most people will consider telling about their blog title when they are still using the blog title!). Yeah, whatever..
About Route 87
U.S. Highway 87 is a north-south United States highway (though it is signed east-west in New Mexico) that runs for 1,998 miles (3,215 km) from northern Montana to southern Texas. The entire portion from Billings, Montana, to Raton, New Mexico, is co-signed along Interstates 90 and 25. It is also co-signed along the entire length of Interstate 27 in Texas.

You must have known that my blogs title has nothing to do with that highway but after using its name for about 2 years, I think I have to say something about the real Route 87. It’s a long road, if I may say. Take a look at this:
Now, talking about my version of Route 87, I chose ‘route‘ because I adore the idea of viewing this life as a journey. Then, why 87? That was my student id, 13503087 to be exact. The first time I used it in yahoo, that was acceptable for I was still a student that time. Using it again at wordpress, I think I was being uncreative at all, I have graduated the moment I created that blog. Uncreative is not the main concern. Somehow, I feel like, by choosing Route 87 again, it was OK for me to use something that should have been my past.
I am not that student with id 13503087 anymore.
Do you feel I’m exaggerating here? Hihi.. Well, this site is mine! Happy blog-walking, everyone!
