choked upon blog

it was two years ago that i happened to know about blogging. thanks to fauzana, tini and nad. i took a year to finally open my own blog after reading theirs every now and then. at first i found it all rubbish...just for entertainment sake.

yes, i was bombarded with nasty tags soon after i put a tagboard in my blog. i guessed i talked about the survivor 5 winner on how deserving she was to win. i bet she had an unknown fanclub that went online searching for those blogs that criticized on her. it was hell.

my blog is a mixture of all. personal, politics and primary observant. i like to write what i see and find it funny, yet there is still a message being send out to the viewers. i also like to vent out my emotions in my post, especially when i'm too depressed and too happy.

my blog lacks of pictures in the first 8 mths. i have all the pictures for the world to see in my original site, Kukustarfish.com, and i feel that putting up pictures of myself would make people lazy to view my original site. i am also not a photographer. i didn't own a digicam for the sake of blogging. though i like looking at amazingly nature pictures.

so i guess, it all depends. my fiancee has zero say in my blogging arena. even in Kukustarfish.Com. coz it has nothing much but our biodatas and pictures. in layman term, he just won't bother much. i try to do the same to his blog too.

he ever said "blogging is ruled by the ladies, not the men. men don't bother with hanky panky issues. men prefered games and movies (RA or PG) to writing out events of their lives." how true.

but, blog helps me in many ways. for example, in my examination. during my engineering years, i didn't need to focus on writing flowy and nice sentences. now in mass communication, it is a different scenario. the better you write the more you actually score. it also opens my eyes to many things that i'm not practically aware off. making new friends is another added bonus to it.

as i have commented on rin's blog "i wouldl freak me out big time if my real life friends or colleagues are to come across and read my blog." but that is a different thing. i would never promote my life online to people: real-longlost friends, classmates, lecturers, colleagues and family members aka parents.

i would only let the ones i'm comfortable with to view it. but i bet my own personal friendship was torn apart due to my lackness and cruelness. so where do you draw out the line for your own blog and viewers?

my rule is to think before i write. i may be in the hellious mood but at the end of the day, people are going to view and judge what you are writing. human beings are basically curious species. once they have the informations, they will pass the information to the next 'they' and 'them' and the process continues.

if you are scared or shy or embarrassed by the comments given later on, why bothered putting it up online. you will only create trouble to your own self. whatever seen confidential or secret to you, don't let it out online. that's stupidity. i recommend you to use the traditional method of doing it.

to ssum up, won't it be amazing if our top politicians have blogs? we can see how their mind works. it would be a great shock cum surprise to know that one could be sued for ruthless vulgar postings. but it would be weird to read ur parents blog. so sooner or later all of us have to step down from the blogging arena.
