Blogging- It juz has to be personal!!

Maybe i need to write. Or leave my traces somewhere. which better place other than the world of virtual space?

I have decided to keep my blog a very very private affair. If someone I know chance upon it one day, then so be it. But for now, at least it's only me and myself.

Maybe I am still a newbie in this...but blogging was giving me so much pressure that it defeats the purpose of blogging in the first place. I love to write and I SHALL write what I love!

It's 7:46 am. tired. but pleased!

Empathize you or me?

empathize
verb
be understanding of; "You don't need to explain--I understand!" [syn: sympathize]

"I'm cursed with empathy. I'm also by nature way too opinionated." ~ John Shirley


Empathy came from an early age.

Immerse sufferings, terminal illnesses, broken families etc. never fail to invoke feelings of despair. Not that I was in every situations like that, but somehow...I refused to believed humans can be caught in such extremes. I was young then.

Time is a good master of the human civilisation. She was there since Day 1 and still casting a watchful eye till now...she appeared since birth and will be there till death. She never speaks but always reminds, never forgets but never bears grudges... She has patience and she will wait, tirelessly, ever so gently, reminding us again and again...

I regard 'empathy' as a virture. It makes me highly tolerant of others' misdeeds, guarding this arian's warth against aggression (not always though!). But it also cripples my tolerance for self. Like a double-edged sword, the more I feel for others, the lesser I feel for myself. In an ideal world, this sentiment might works. I am not exactly selfless, but in this 'dog-eat-dog' society, it's every man for himself. and having huge empathy is not going to make you a billionaire.

It's still an ongoing battle in me, the heart is willing but the anger is big. I think it's time for some damage control and step back into my own shoes for once. Hell, I might even be able to get new ones!

Fool's Talk

Cy made a remark about bloggers last night. "..it's always about themselves, isn't it?.."

In a democratic society, we are free to do as we pleased! Erm...as long as it's socially responsible blogging, no intended flaming, highly entertaining and maybe...not being a Singaporean...(oops!)

I dun think I am going to have a 'theme' for my posts. But I dun wanna become too self-centered and start vomitting self-indulgents or post cheesy pics too. (no offence to those who are doing juz that though!!)

I enjoying writing and I write wat I feel. Hey! As long as you enjoy my posts, I am cool. If not juz move on yea? U feel me buddy?? *wink

AsalaAs-Salāmu `Alaykum (Peace be upon you)

Reminder

For those materialistic, selfish and realistic idiots who only cared about themselves, pray hard that nothing bad befalls you and make all that you own or crave...useless.

17th July - One foot in, thirty years and counting...

Life hasn't really been all good...or bad. As i am dragging on my fag, recalling the 30 years that flew past...I think i am thankful i am still alive now writing this.

The world is really different now. Fastpaced, busy, inflations, high cost of living, rising oil prices....blah blah blah...leaves me breathless. The purity of childhood have been stolen, morality eroded and realism rising. Money is the international language now. It will become a sickness, if not already has. Living has taken a whole new context.

I still remember when I was catching spiders among the bushes, jumping over 'zero-point' games, and comparing marbles during my time....when a trip to Mac is a luxery, and owning a computer brings so envy among my peers.

I dun have a degree, the only important certificate I own is my birth cert. I dun work in a high paying job with high post, no material stuffs to strut around, no big houses with pools to dive into etc. etc...

But I have a dream. A dream to live life to it's fullest and spread some love around. Hopefully I have another 30 years to do it.

"Making a difference is not about the impact, it's the effort to do so."

First try!
