Hello people

By people I mean my known readers and those silent readers who somehow wandered here by accident/hunted it down like crazy (though the former is more probable.)

Hello.

I know you're there so don't deny it. :/

I don't know how you got here, but if you're my friend and I've said something horrible and criminal that a friend should never say, I'm sorry.

:)

My blog is my diary, it records random events, rants, feelings, musings and (sometimes biased) opinions.

What I say is a reflection of my current mood and emotions, and I rarely hold back on a rant so if you find me cursing you out, I just needed to let go of some steam. I don't hate you, please don't hate me?

I find that sometimes keeping my feelings to myself and exploding privately in words on my blog will hurt less feelings than screaming at a person in the midst of a temper.

I know that talking behind one's back is bound to evoke some bad karma, but I never did make this blog to publicize your shortcomings or mine.

It's simply to express my feelings, not criticize you behind your back.

But yeah. I'm truly sorry for any hurt feelings I have caused, but please try to understand that I'm not one to hold my feelings inside forever - they have to come out SOMEWHERE.

Better on my blog, lost in cyberspace than to other people.

I'd stopped promoting my blog ages ago, and taken a few breaks from blogging to reconnect with the real world and TALK to people instead of ranting on my blog.

At one time, an average of 2 people read my blog each day. Now the total has risen to about 9. :o Besides my sister and boyfriend, I don't know who still reads my blog consistently, so I KNOW you invisible stalkers are out there.

Grr.

And don't think 9 is a small number either; people who read will normally read perhaps every 4-5 days, so multiply that number by 4.5 and that's a hell lot of people. For a blog that's intended to be semi-private anyway.

Anyway, I didn't start blogging to gain popularity and fame, nor to make sure that everyone else knows what's going on in my daily life.

My blog is more of a place to rant and talk crap if I so wished. I don't need people to approve and say omg your blog is soooooo funny/entertaining/cool, or to be invited to blogger events where you mingle around with other 'bloggers.'

Self-satisfaction is my purpose. :D

If you've been a reader since I started blogging at 14, you'd see how much I've grown as an individual, and I am glad for these chronicles of my life, for they show me that I AM growing, and not just...stagnant. A lump of rubbish left to mould.

I find people who blog for the sake of blogging very wu liao. :/

You know the type - those who make an effort to go the every public event in the local vicinity, snap 218731 photos and give reviews of the event...

It would be interesting if 2342352 other people hadn't just written about the same damn thing and taken the same freaking photoshopped pictures with PRO cameras.

o_O I can't taste the individuality - it's like these bloggers eating and regurgitating the same food that everyone else is and call it special cause it has their spit on them.

D:

Blogs are quickly dying.

I love reading about people's opinions, anecdotes about their lives and seeing candid, non-photoshopped and watermarked photos that allow me glimpses into their lives.

Not this commercial click-me-and-help-me-advertise-my-blog-please crap.

Also, I find it ridiculous to think that some people read blogs just so they can find ways to criticize and put that person down. :/ If you don't like the person, then don't read. Simple as apple piieeeeee.

I find that blogging is quickly losing its meaning.

And that is why I mourn the loss of another honest blogger.

TAN SUI YI DON'T STOP BLOGGING LAAAA.

:(((

Write blogs not to impose beliefs.

Write blogs not to tell the world you've been to so-and-so event and wore so-and-so and met so-and-so famous celebrity blogger etc.

Write blogs not to sell yourself.

In this way, I prefer lala, today-I-ate-a-hamburger-for-lunch type of bimbo blogs as compared to the new wave of commercial blogs.

I want to read about YOU.

Blog for yourself, not for others. :)

It's an expression of self, not essays written to please people.

Keep blogging alive people!

Love from Snarkie. xoxoxoxoxo
