why do i blog?

i couldn't remember exactly when i started reading blogs. but what initiates me was the article in reader's digest, about a homeless person in britain. after being forced out of her rented apartment, she lived in her car. after sometimes, she started using the public toilets in librarys to take a bath. subsequently, she started using the computer library to start a blog about her homeless life. she received unexpected responses, and was interviewed in tv programmes. everything after that was history.

then it was the political waves. i actually like to read and talk about politics, but it was reserved to selected people. masa tu mula baca malaysia today, kickdefella, che det and banyak lagi. entah kenapa, sekarang i dah tak baca semua tu. muak?

what really hooked me was my friend's site - spread the jam. my friend, joe is a born writer. i believe it runs in her family, the KuStamangs'. everyone in her family has their own blog except for dolly. joe was an engineer but became a housewife since she followed her hubby to saudi. she has turned into a domestic goddess. besides good at cooking (she shares easy to follow recipes), she is now selling tudung thru the net. but now she seldom update her blog, sibuk menjahit.

but joe and her father, PokKu, has linked me to many wonderful blogs. these people really speak-up their minds, share their life stories and open up your eyes betapa kejadian Tuhan ni pelbagai. dugaan dan experience kehidupan orang lain banyak bagi kita peringatan. reading their blogs terasa macam kita dah kenal the blogger dah lama, padahal tak pernah bersua muka. they brighten-up your day, and sometimes, their writings make me cry. sebenarnya, naluri manusia, we like to share and we like to know that someone cares.

why do i blog? sebenarnya dah lama nak mula. i started at blogspot, but never published my entry. malu. tak de confidence. padahal bukannya orang tahu kita ni sape, bcoz initially i open-up an anonymous blog.

but what makes me really want to blog? loneliness. i need to talk to keep me sane. i need to make my life lively. i was actually bored.

niat asal joined friendster and facebook ni nak tengok2kan my nieces and nephews yang ramai ni. sorry,... i was not spying, cuma ambik berat. kita can caring society. then, belek2 friendster, rupanya boleh buat blog kat friendster, so cubalah. audience pun tak ramai, anak2 sedara je. maka lahirlah as the wind blows. yes, it was ida and dhuha yang rajin bagi comments, then baru yang lain2. lama2 dah menulis ni, seronok pulak. subconsciously, the blogs keep us closer, update us with the latest news about each other. tahu2 jelah kita ni bukannya selalu jumpa, nak telephone pun malas. at least, i feel closer to my nieces.

blogspot sebenarnya lebih user friendly, and more accessible. but once your blog is established, google je your blogger name, orang pun boleh get access to your blog, tak perlu jadi member dlm friendster to get access to a friendster blog.

kenapa pula i suka nak keep on updating this blog? ntahlah... i pun tak tahu kenapa i suka nak tulis...
