thoughts
I have 2 previous blogs before this. You know how sometimes things just don’t work out. The problem is, I think too much. I think too much about what i want to post in my blog. If the material is appropriate. If others will find it boring, dull…. if it reflects too much about my personal life. Is it a proper article, or is it a release of my emotions? Is it intended for a specific person, or is it for Ike? I visited my friends’ blogs and always envy them for being able to post whatever they want up there. And I couldn’t do the same, fearing if my blog seems like a diary, who is interested in reading about my life anyway.. i kept looking out for themes and topics to write about. Messages to send across. Emotions to be felt. And seeing my blog idle for a while makes me sad, how I am restricted and limited in my own space, own corner in the Internet. And I was thinking of starting a new one all over again. Just like how my mom ‘ditched’ our 15 years old home and got a place in a condominium with swimming pool, nicely refurnished with expensive sofa, huge TV, new kitchen top etc. A dream place, to relax and wind down, for the weekend. But what I see is a dead place. So lifeless and cold. Not familiar to my senses. No Ike running up to me. Do I give too much thoughts to the content of my blog? Is it fully concentrated with emotions? Is it making a difference to its readers? Is it affecting them in anyway? Can i just write what happened in my life today? Can i just say i am not very happy today? And why am i even asking a permission? Why am i not setting my own rules of life, instead of keep listening to what others have to say? Even this post is a product of excessive and unnecessary thinking. And yes, I am not very happy today.

u should never need to think what to write on your blog. i never do- this is why mine is rather boring, telling ppl what i do over the weeks, as if it was interesting. but i like ur blog that has interesting well written thoughts. it is upto u what u want to write, that is why the blog is for. of course it depends on u whether or not u want the whole world to know. i am sometimes surprised myself to see ppl from texas, japan, california etc click on my blog.
well u better cheer up before saturday, or else i need to buy tissue for the both of us.
love u lots and sorry again…

ultimately, u need to decide what your blog means to you, be it a peek into your life or a platform for your thoughts or something else … writing is a skill that can be trained, and if you’re worried about content, just practice thinking out of the box and it’ll soon come naturally to you … all in all, just relax and have fun … hey, its your blog =) …
