life is like a blog
i know i know another long entry but i was told never to ignore that little voice in my head so there....
My lack of blogging has no direct correlation to my otherwise mundane life. No seriously. Life is like a blog. There’s only so much passion one can immerse himself in living. When I started blogging, I was regularly updating my entries and consciously thinking of things to blog. Boh liao pictures to upload. Topics I can write about (as if I had a newspaper column). When things get busy and I don’t plunk myself in front of the mac too much, I try to make an effort to create post-dated entries. Then the inspiration to blog starts to die down bit by bit. I don’t exude enthusiasm in posting every damn shot I take. Maybe you can call it quality control. I skip updating for a few weeks and find that I didn’t have to explain myself to anyone should I want to stop blogging for a while. After procrastinating, I picked up that momentum once again. But never with the same eagerness. Abit like life eh.
You start with naivety and zest. Novelty is refreshing and you love everything the world has to offer. Sometimes your life passes in a blur, without much time to ponder and appreciate the finer stuff. Sometimes, time takes its toll on you and you feel discontentment. You pause for a moment but life still goes on. Yes the same way your entry may be unrecorded but the blog remains open to anyone with an internet connection. Very soon you realize you are nothing extraordinary (because there are better blogs out there with flash enabled themes which earn $ / freebies together with the fame duh) and life suddenly seems lacking. You get sucked into dreary monotonous routine mode and you hate your life with a vengeance refusing to participate in it. You can try to break free but usually it’s too troublesome. Something holds you back…yeah I know I haven’t had the time to go change my blog template either!
It’s okay. So don’t blog. No big deal. You are entitled not to blog everyday every single chance you get. Soon you'll come to realise....
in your blog
You've found your own voice, your outlook on your own life turns less cynical.
You think words never hurt anyone only sticks & stones do.
You post up pictures which you look good in.
Narrating your side of the story which you are the heroine never the bad guy.
Composing thoughts which are relevant to your life & hold close to your heart.
You know you don’t owe anyone out there anything. Really.
in real life
you bitch. you complain about anything under the sun like your job your parents your goodbye arms and the lousy public transport system and endless of gantry charges the dear gahman imposes. you get what i mean.
you become your own worst critic.
you know the world owes you a living. or least everyone else does.
in your blog
you want to live it up. Live it big.
And everything happens to be exemplified in your blog.
You are the centre of attention and deserve it.
in real life
you want to live it up badly. but society stops you.
you feel all eyes on you and it's never good.
in your blog
you can be ms diva ms bitchy ms sweetie ms act cute ms chio bu (ok after photoshop) ms intellectual ms blondie & dagwood. literally.
you are personified to whomever you want to transform into.
in real life
everyone suffers from multi-personality disorder.
you are a hypocrite in front of your boss.
you are two-faced in front of your colleagues.
you are a virtuous wife in front of your in-laws.
you are family to your friends.
it doesn't end. even with plastic surgery.
in your blog
you get confused on the direction or theme which your blog is headed.
you compromise on the design the topics the new gadgets widgets add-ons.
you think more is less.
in real life
you are confused.
you think less is never enough. you want more.
in your blog
you're slightly embarrassed & bashful to let others know you own a blog
in real life
people find me shy and demure by first impression.
well i'm pretty sure all these add up somewhere. it's no wonder i'm addicted to blogging =]
