Correct verb form for "starting from"
I have made up the three examples below.
(1) Starting from next Saturday, I will keep a diary. (An event will occur in the future.)
(2) Starting today, I keep a diary. (An event is starting now.)
(3) (Suppose that today is May 1st). Starting from April 28th, I have been keeping a diary. (An event started in the past.)
My non-native English speaking friends think the phrase "Starting from a particular time" only works for present and future events, not for past events. So, (3) is grammatically wrong.
Are all my sentences grammatically correct? Please help. I really appreciate your time and help.
