Blogging

Blogging - It was never a thing that I thought I would actually do. I have been reading about blogging for awhile. But never really was interested in doing it.

Then sometime during mid last year while I was going thru frustrations in life, ringgit introduced me to blogging. He said just blog your feelings - be it anger or whatever. So it started from then.

I have a few favorite blogs which i read on a regular basis. My friend in Sydney introduced me to a blog which was written by a malay datin. It was very interesting blog. Alot of people read her blogs and alot of comments too. She eventually stopped writing as people started to send her nasty comments. I mean she writes about true things like how her step daughther a mere teenager already engaged in sexual activities and such.. she was very truthful and for that she was crucified. She stopped writing now. Actually she stopped writing since september last year. I kinda miss her blogs. I used to wait eagerly for her next update.

It was also from datin's blog that I chance into odissi's blog. I still remember the first time I told ringgit about the blog and I mentioned that odissi writes really really well. And I kena hantam from ringgit. Ringgit said that of course she writes well, she is a journalist. Of course I know DUH. I was admiring how well she writes and i am sure everyone wish that they can write that well too. Reading ringgit's blog I realized that he too reads her blog these days hahaha. Addictive aye?

Anyways... blogging is part of my life now but of course at times I also go thru the phase where I don't feel like blogging. The days where I feel really low and like ringgit always says.. dont' pass your negativy to others.. :( Maybe all I need is a listening ear but not really to get symphaty.

Well, um, regarding odissi's blog.. ok, ok.. I admit that she does write really well and she writes about things that I can relate to - probably because she's around our age. But did I *really* hantam you on that? Aiya.. you make it sound like I am a bad person :P

Actually, the datin should just switch off comment if people start abusing her blog. Blog is a good way to "let out" and one can always choose to disable comment and email so no one can provide feedback and what you said is yours alone - if people don't want to read, so be it - move along.. you know.

I think blogging is a good channel to put your thoughts. It can also be something you can revisit and it gives a kind of nostalgic feeling when you read what happened to you at that point in time.

You are the first person I convinced to blog. Now I have two more colleagues doing it :D I read all your blog all the time, so keep it up.
