Hi,
I've spent hours and hours looking for an easy out-of-the-box personal blog drupal based
but found none,
after almost a month I'm still not familiar with how drupal handle categories/tags (wordpress)
hope someone can share some personal blog here or something or case study....

Off the top of my head...
I don't have time for an in depth tutorial but here's some suggestions off the top of my head.
* If you don't want "hanzahar's blog" linked at the bottom of each post, don't use the blog module. Instead:
* Set up a "blog" node type - If you want the standard blog front page, set them to be promoted to the front page
* Set up one or more views filtered to the blog node type to show them how you like
* Make a new vocabulary called "tags" or "categories"
* Set it to be freetagging
* Associate it with your blog node type
* To post, create a new blog node
* Write your blog
* Put a comma seperated list of your tags in the tag/categories text fields
* Look for modules such as Tag Cloud to make pretty tag displays in blocks
