Wad is the correct way to blog?




c the news today? 2 guys gt charged for the way they blog. if i did nt hear wrongly, its bcos they blog sth abt racial discrimination n it caused a big commotion in the web world n ppl startin talkin abt it in forums. who they r i dunno. i jus know tat they are in their mid 20s + they r quite cute. lOlzz~

isn't bloggin supposed to be an online diary whereby u write abt ur daily life? share wif others where u've been to, wif who, wat u've done etc.. but nt many ppl seems to write in full details. except me. haha~ i realise tat i seems to write in full details of the day. haha~

some ppl haf a theme for their blog. such as food, clubs, etc. if u're gonna blog solely on one topic, do u reali haf soooooo many things to say abt it?

rber the blogger who post nude pics of herself? sarongpartygirl? her blog is all abt sex n its lengthy + boring. everything is abt sex. sometimes i reali wonder if she has sex EVERYDAY?!?!? if it is, i salute her. if nt, y does she haf so many things to say abt SEX, SEX n jus SEX?!?!?

the famous blogger, Xiaxue, claims she blogs abt her evryday life but alot of ppl tinks she's fake n unreal. tat explains all the hate mails she gets. i've read her blogs b4 but it seems to get boring these days. aftall, she's gain fame for herself over tis few yrs (thru blogging of cos!) n im surprised to c tis on her close fren's blog. 'Very often, I have the urge to ask her to stop blogging, but I can't, because it's her source of income, and it's her dream.' suddenly, i haf a lost of words... how has bloggin become a source of income? pls teach me!!

another blogger, Kenny Sia, always gt link up wif any female blogger. i dunno y. i read his blog b4 but i tink its boring.

the self claim ah-lian blogger, Poisonous Lady, writes interesting blogs. nv fail to add in words like paiseh, na beh, lao niang, etc etc.. n she's gt more than a thousand readers daily!!

another blogger, livingparadox, writes poems every day. when i say poems, its reali those kinda few lines poems. let me gif u some examples extracted fr her blogs.

Eg 1 :
I'm biting my lips,
Cause there's nothing else left to say.

I'm not made of stone.

Eg 2:
I probably wouldn't be this way,
I probably wouldn't hurt so bad.

Sometimes I see you standing there,
Sometimes it's like I'm losing touch.

And if I'd never seen your face;
I probably wouldn't be this way.

i dunno how does tis reflects her daily life. i seriously duno but its obvious tat it doesn reflects her true inner self. but in a way, im impressed by her tat she can narrate her life into a poem. however, i feel tat she shld b a poet instead of a blogger.

another blogger will put a pic + some words n tis reflects her day. funny leh..

somehow i seems to haf several gan chu abt tis 4 letter word now. not f-u-c-k but b-l-o-g.
y does ppl blog? wad is the reason for them to blog? in chinese, blog is known as 'wang luo ri zi' meaning web diary in english.

but aft readin so many blogs, i feel alot r nt diaries at all.

in my opinion, many bloggers r tryin hard to make their blog entertaining esp wif all those photoshop pics. therefore, i tink they they shld be known as blogtainers instead of bloggers.

i, for one, did learn photoshop durin yr 1 in poly but tat is onli for 1 module in 1 semester. tats all. being the lazy IT idiot i m, am lazy to go learn n explore anyth regarding the computer. call me a bimbo n i'll gladly accept it. *grIns* ;p

blog seems to start to lose its original meaning of a web diary. many ppl r using it to practise their writing n photoshop skills. but i believe many of them r aspiring xiaxue no.2 in the hope tat their blog wil get recognised one day.

we live for ourselves nt others. y mus some ppl try so hard to make their blog entertaining? i reali dun ustand y. isn't bloggin supposed to let ppl get to know u betta? in a way get to know ur inner self, wad u tinkin, etc? if u feel uncomfortable abt disclosing abt writing abt ur feelings, wad u did etc, grab a real diary, write it by hand n lock it up! so tat no1 sees it except the one wif the keys.

therefore, wad is the correct way to blog? every1 has gt their own individual styles. some r open wif their lives (me!!) while some r nt. some add lotsa pics while sm r jus plain text. some r long-winded like me while some prefer to keep it short. in other words, there r no correct or wrong way to blog.

even thou its ur own website, dun be like the 2 guys who gt charged. jus dun say any wrong things esp sensitive issues tat will create a commotion. aftall, u r writing it on the web whereby any1 can c it easily.

my regular reader, joseph, for one, reali gotta know me even betta thru my blogs. being a straightforward gal i m, i write n speaks watever tat comes on my mind. i've gt nth to hide abt my life so i write all details abt it. at least i can browse bac thru my past entries n glady rber wad i did. photos posted r to remind myself of the ppl i hang out wif n the fun moments i had while snappin those pics. i am gladly, openly n willingly to share my life wif others.

however, i'll stil stick on to my own style n write abt the happenings of my daily life cos i simply gt nth to hide. n i wana rber wad i did on tat day. even joseph comment tat my blog is so into details. even the tiniest n smallest detail i oso include.

*-*

last but nt least, jus wana share wif ur sth i ate today. its chee cheong fan at a shop in kilikey rd. the shop was being aired on tv for its unique chee cheong fan wif unique fillings such as fruits, tom yam seafood, cheese lobster etc.

i was wif joseph n jonah but they r nt tat adventrous to try their specialty, durian chee cheong fan so we stick to the usual char siew n prawn. quite nice. very soft n the meat is lean!! i love lean meat!!! wahaha~~ so go try it if u wan. im nt their ambassador, dun worry.
