Yesterday I wrote about something about not wanting to blog the unhappy things in my life and this is what PE had to say:
ang general na tanong ko eh... "why blog"? it can't be that one just wants to keep a journal. kung yun lang, pwede namang gawin sa diary or even a private journal sa pc. is it vanity, to prove to yourself na magaling kang magsulat? is it to show the netizens na magaling kang mag-english? or to flaunt that you have a more interesting life than others? or is it the noble reason that others may learn from your own experiences? so why o why?
Kuya PE, don't worry. I seem to ask the same questions myself. I think I was severely misinterpreted in my last post. I don't know if I am scared or anything to be judged because of the things I write, but Mitch is right. It's my blog and I can write anything on it. As I have said, I don't want to remember sad things that happen to me. That's all. And it is easier to forget if there is no documentation whatsoever of the events. Even if it's a private journal, I don't think I have the strength to write anything about depression.
My life may not be interesting to others, but I'm doing ok, I'm enjoying it. I may not be living it the way I want to, but the lessons learned along the way is enough to keep me amused for most of my days. I'm not proving that I have a grasp on the English language, I know how may grammatical boo boos I've already written for all to see. And I am certainly not noble enought to think that people would learn from me.
So why blog? The reason may be too superficial, I wanted to join the bandwagon. Most of the people I know had blogs. And I thought it would be cool to have one. It would be ultra cool if your blog has numerous hits in a day. It would be doubly cool if someone actually quotes your blog entries. I just never knew that it will catch up on me and I would see it as a part of my daily routine. I never saw it as something that would help vent out the extra energy my hyper activeness spews out. I never thought it would be this enjoyable.
