Juz finished writing xmas cards to my classmates n frens. oh man. hand aching!! n my tongue tastes weird from all that licking the glue stuff on the envelope. bleagh.
haha anyway, it wuz all good fun n in the spirit of xmas.
jamie n i have wrapped up all the presents on our lists n we're juz waitin for the big day now. i feel really poor this xmas, coz i splurged quite a lot last mth when i went out with frens. so i cant get jamie much for xmas. she dun seem to mind, n i know she's gettin some surprise prezzies for me.
N that juz makes it doubly bad for me!!
Boo...
Maybe i could do more chores around the house and dad'll give me some pocket money. But jamie is already doin all the work to earn that extra few bucks.
Sighx...
I've still got 23 more cards to write to the yfers, n my To Do list is no where near completion. This is so tiring n frustrating, but as long as the holidays are not over, i still have time to do them, so i wun stress myself.
Hmm... the manuscript is shaping up n im juz finished up the cover page design. Hope can rush out everything before Christmas.
Ohhh im soo lookin forward to carolling.
It's gonna be my first ever, n im sure it'll be fun.
Trying to read the baptism manual currently, a bit tough for me, coz language quite cheem, but i'll keep trying.
Oh n erm, if anyone has the time, pls give me a full recount of what happened last sun (the voting, i believe), coz although sixuan has been kind enough to tell me what happened, it's still not detailed enough for me.
lyk, wad happened the min u stepped into the humanities room... who said what, who did what, how did the voting start n proceed... coz i've never been to a proper election with names being proposed n seconded, so i'll lyk to know.
I feel really crummy for missing yf last sunday, n if i have a detailed recount, i can perhaps paint the voting session in my mind. then i wun feel so bad abt missing it.
Anyway, i wuz thinkin abt this whole blog thing.
Wad's the real purpose of it anyway?
For me, it's a form of keepin in touch with frens, letting them know how's my life goin thru my entires. But then again, how many ppl actually take time off to go blog surfing? They do, im sure, but technology is so advanced now, if i wanted someone to know abt my life, i'd call her.
Blog is also a way of gettin to know each other better. Through our entries, we can note the tone n behaviour of each other as we recount our day's happening. But this brings me back to point one, not many ppl actually have so much time to understand their frens better through their blogs.
And this whole "no time" thing actually caused me, as a blogger, to have one thought: Why should i blog?
I know there r ppl who read my blog, but not enough to encourage me to write, becoz that's the purpose of a blog, to let ppl read.
Yet there r enough ppl who r reading this to stop me from writing anything way too personal. Or thoughts that r hidden deep inside me.
So at the end of the day, wad exactly is the purpose of a blog?
An online diary which u can write anything u want?
If u do, u may be accused of racism, or u might hurt someone's feelings, or u could offend another. You cant juz write without thinkin on a blog.
Is blog a narrative form of diary, where u juz recount what happened to u in a day?
If so, r ppl really interested in wad happened to u in sch or at home? Wouldn't they be more concerned abt their own lives?
Or really, is blog a place for ppl to whine n complain, post their probs n let ppl tag their words of comfort n advises?
This seems by far, to me, the most sensible purpose of a blog. It takes too much time juz callin up frens n keep repeating the whole sad story, juz to hear what they have to say n feel comforted.
But what abt ppl who lead happy sunshine lives n have no complains? I don't think they have a need for blogs, then. So does this mean only sad n grumpy ppl have blogs?
Of coz, happy ppl can have blogs too. Their blogs will most probably be full of smileys n love, inspiring everyone to be cheerful n take a positive attitude towards life.
Again, i don't think ppl actually read a blog purposefully juz to find inspiration or be happy.
In fact, i wonder now: Why do ppl read blogs?
In my case, i dun read unless they tell me to, or when i feel that someone is troubled n i want to know more abt her problem. OR i have some frens whom i dun meet often n i wanna understand what's goin on in their lives.
What abt you? Do u read blogs for a purpose? And why do u blog?
Post at the tagboard n tell me kz, coz this topic is quite interesting for me.
Anyway, personally, i have nothing against blogging. I wuz juz thinkin abt it n the above was what i came up with.
Im on a neutral stand here, so pls feel free to tag ur opinions.
