What is Blogging? According to the dictionary, blogging is defined as a shared on-line journal where people can post diary entries about their personal experiences and hobbies. In other words, it is like writing a diary, but allowing the whole world to read it.

The examples above are entries from blogs that I’ve came across before.
Each entry is unique and basically, describes a person’s personality
and character. But why should a person blog? What are the purposes of blogging?

A friend of mine once told me, people blog because they want to bitch about someone and they hope that someone will find out about it. Secondly, people blog because they have no one to talk to, so they pen their thoughts online where strangers or perhaps friends may respond. Thirdly, people blog because they want to write about things that were significant in their daily lives. Likewise, some peoople blog because they just simply love to write.

Why do I blog then? It’s definitely not about bitching about people though that can be very tempting at time =) I start this blog because I’m currently jobless and I have no purpose in life besides waiting for my offer letter. So I think to myself, why don’t I start a blog to fill up my time? Besides that, I can practise my written English while I’m at it. At least when I go to university, I would still know how to spell =P

I’ve read some of my friend’s blogs and wow, I’m really amazed that how one can know a person better through blogging. He/She may look quiet and reserve on the outside, but in his/her blog site, he/she is a totally different person. Perhaps, blogging allows one to talk his mind without fearing how other people respond to it. Some people are afraid to communicate with other people face to face. And blogging is a form of communication between a living creature (Human) and a non living thing (Computer) and therefore, permits one not to fear of being laughed in the face.

Honestly speaking, I’m not quite ready to spill every gut in my body in this blog. I’m still uncomfortable about letting other people know about my secrets a.k.a bitching =P I’ll still stick to the old conventional way. Which means, talking to my best friends and close buddies. What you’ll be expecting in this blog would be possibly controversial  issues, significant events that I’ve come across or just daily rantings of mine.

If you find the content posted in my blog interest you or maybe offensive, do drop comments so I can hear about your opinion too!
