We blog to be understood

Yes yes, imma so sorry to the Quotable one (akin to someone like the wise one, you know who u R). I simply love ya lines! Dun blame me hor! Afterall, it's always flattering to know you've earn yaself a fan ya'noe.

Yup yup *nodz*, I guess somehow or rather, all of us has this side that people do not see of us normally. Of cos, not all of us would come to blog like me or most prolly like you people do to unleash that part of you that begs for recognition or validation (some of you bloggers I've given my this blog address to). I've heard from people who've had their moments, but chose to tide them over silently by themselves. They feel blogging is an invitation to an invasion of their privacy, else they do not know how to start blogging in the first place.

As for not knowing where/how to start blogging, i too had my fair share of experience. Not knowing whether it wld be uncool of me to start a shabby and 没眼看 (pronounce this in cantonese: mo gan tai) kinda blog. I thought my blog cant be compared anywhere to that of Xiaxue's or Silly Celly's or Blinky Mummy's or even that of Sandralicious' blogs. And of cos nowhere as babelicious as Dawn in her blog here. Plus I still have some serious conservation about privacy issues. I mean, how much do i wanna reveal? Should i reveal much of myself in mah blog? Shd I just blabber out all my frustrations and unsightly thoughts w/o a care in the world? Would anyone chanced upon my blog and know that it's me? Wld what i say hv repercussion on me?

Well well, everything's got to have a start aint it? The most important thing is to JUST DO IT! regardless what. So I started blogging May 2005 and had several blogs since. Well yeah, that seems to be the magic cure for my need for varying privacy V^_^

I also only started friendster somewhere in June 2006 and then I discovered Friendster blog. And I thought: THAT is so cool (no doubt friendster blog isnt as user friendly as blogspot). Reason being your friends are able to keep a tab on you thru ya friendster blog while surfing friendster. You would also be esp interested to know what ELSE is happening in their lives as you know em personally. Human = Kpo ma. Hee~ Besides, not many people blog on friendster. That inevitably makes it much easier for me to keep track of my friendster friends' blogs. Cos i dun hv many to keep tabs on in the first place! ^_^n

Have been using mostly friendster blog for these past months, why then the sudden switch to here? Ha! You may ask. Nah. Aint planning to switch totally to here, I'd still continue to blog at my friendster blog, but ppl who's got my blog address here are most likely the people I click better with (as in I resonate more with you). Haha... The actual truth is, I'd always find Friendster Blog rather user-UNfriendly. Since I had actually registered myself on the New Version Blogspot just so to be able comment on Gracie Gal's blog, I might as well as convert this to an actual blog myself to enjoy all the functions that a friendster's blog's been seriously lacking behind, such as the ability to embed a cbox (I'd always been looking forward to hv one @.@) and the ability to link up the blogs & sites of my friends that i chat along well with. Yooo hooo! It's another blog opening ceremony (布洛克开幕典礼) for me again! I'm such a blog whore! :x

Kk, lemme just sum up what I like about blogging:

1. It doesnt show up my ugly handwriting. I can even choose the available fonts that I like to project for mah blog.
2. Easy to erase, delete and even hide post. You can cut, copy and paste your words. Easy to quote people. I can even come round at a later time to edit what I've written.
3. Stores parts of memories I choose to relive
4. Writing helps me release my inner frustrations that perhaps most times ppl wld not be patient enuff to hear me out when i talk to them. Or imma just too ashamed to trouble anyone for that. My blog is my best bet. A blog is patient, it wont show face when u take too long. A blog will not be hurt, even when you say the wrong thing cos it does not have feelings (in this case, blog more sensitive topics on other blogs whereby parties concerned cant reach them) Plus (esp in the case of that of friendster's blog), if anyone is even remotely interested in what imma writing at all, he/she has this free will to drop by my blog at ease to read what he/she chooses to read.
5. There is still so much to learn abt dressing up your blog to make it look more attractive.
6. You can choose your own time when to blog. You do not have to follow school or office hours.
7. You can control what you wanna reveal. You may even hint, and make it hard for readers to know what you're getting at by spinning ya own riddles. Else just blog out your torrid thoughts and emotions as you best know how to express or even write in the exact opposite form of how you feel by trying to be sacarstic. You're free! It's ya own little world. Like what I've mentioned in my friendster blog before: It’s like playing 躲猫猫, being evasive yet longed to be found out. hehehe.
