I'm probably crucifying myself on the internet. Am I crazy to have done all of this? Entahlah...maybe. But I can't help pouring all my feelings in my writings. There are some bloggers who are okay about exposing sensational details in their posts, while others prefer to keep a 'public' blog and another 'private' one for their most intimate & deep dark secrets.
There are bloggers who upload their real photos and mention the names of their family, pets, workers while others prefer to use a 'nama pena'.
For that reason I have gotten rid of the pix. Cheers

I think it's better to use a pen name like Mark Twain....
And try to leave explicit personal details out especially if they bear obvious clues of your real identity... It's great to be expressive but sometimes you need to also protect yourself from excessively exposing too much in the blogs. This is to prevent from shady and evil persons; especially those out to get you, from getting more ammunition to launch a personal attack on yourself or worse- character assasination...
Take me for example, i have recently shut down my blog called The Convent- The Convent of The Protectors of The Blessed Souls, contemplations of The Most Reverend Mother Superior, The Superior General of The United Kingdom, Ireland and France.
This is because a particularly evil person has successfully used the details I wrote in the blog against me and showed them to some people of power and affluence.
I was consequently fired from my workplace and was soon evicted from my institutional residence.
I learned this lesson the hard way. Hope that you don't need to learn yours in a similar fashion.
God save you.
From Her Most Holy and Pristine,
The Most Reverend Mother Superior
The Superior General of the United Kingdom, Ireland and France,
On Behalf of the Convent of The Protectors of The Blessed Souls.
I think, some stuff, you can write about. Some stuff, you've got to keep it to yourself. Some stuff, only to be consumed by your closest friends.
Having said all that, I think the reason why we have blogs is because that's the only way we can "reach" out to our friends.
You're so far in Kangar, and I'm in KL. So I read your blog because sometimes, I miss you, and I want to know what's happening in your life.
The very intimate details, you can just pick up the phone and tell me lah! Hahah.
But yaah.. I think blogs keep us "connected". Sometimes, we post pictures because we want to share it with our other friends. Like you didn't attend S/U/A's engagement .. but I am planning to put the pictures up in my blog so that you can view them later.. :)
About the possibility of people using the blog against you.. well.. shit happens. And you move on. Cuma, gotta be smart lah. Like I said, when you blog, you've got to know what can be written and what should be left out. Eg. You don't bitch about the company that you work in. You don't bitch about your bosses (you save the gossips for phone calls with close budds). And if you work with a Minister, you don't openly declare your sexual preference.
But yes, pleeeeaaaasssssseee blog. Cuz I miss you. And sometimes, reading your blog gives me an assurance that everything's alright at your end. That no matter how difficult life is, you're still strong enough to pull through.
Gee. Now, I'm the rambler cuz I'm rambling.
Hahah.
Take care, aight?
Missing you tonnes from one of the tallest buildings in KL!
