M.I.A. much?

My exams were over a couple of days ago. And suddenly some sort of epiphany just hit me... what ever happened to my blog? When I looked it up, I was surprised. It's been dead since April. This is when I hit my myself hard on the forehead. Where did all that big talk about consistently jotting down my thoughts? Obviously I got derailed along the way. I guess a 24-credit hour semester screws up your time management.

But then again, this might just be a lame excuse for me to overcompensate my problem with giving commitment to my blog. I've done you wrong, love. Now I'll TRY to pay more attention to you. Haha!

I thought my blog looked dull and depressing. The brown-coloured background was unwelcoming. No wonder I spite looking at it sometimes. Hence, unconsciously neglecting it for the past seven months.

So, now it has gone through maintenance, even though not that much. One thing is by the design itself I've seen how much a person changes over time. You tend to be more mature in due time, or otherwise. It's funny how I've used to despise the colour pink. But now it's my background. Hah! Still, it feels warm and fresh which is very inviting for me to write. =)

Done with that, I checked out other people's blogs. No, it's not me being in stalker mode. Just curious to know what others are up to. Suddenly, I wonder. Why do people blog anyway?

Some of my peers do it for the sake of doing it. There are others who treat it as a platform to cater to their vanity. Oh, trust me. A friend has showed me her acquittance's blog, she was so full of herself! And there are those who used it as verbal diarrhea to vent out their anger, angst and hatred. I was like, wow. This is what it has come down to. On the other hand, it's each to his own.

To me, there are certain things that are worth sharing with everyone and there are certain things which you just shut up about. But I understand that people have different ways in expressing themselves and one way is to write about them. Still, I really think that anonymity should be put into place when talking (or complaining) about a person or event that most persons who follow you would know. Yeah, people love to hear, see and read about drama. But overexposure can be a real pain. I mean, no one likes the drama king/queen or the Tell-It-All. But hey, there's no right or wrong. You might say "Screw you!" when you read this. Not like I care though. There you go. An attitude that fits all who writes. =)

To think of it again, it's not much of what you write, but it's how you write it. A person's work of art (which I consider writing as) invokes emotions - to the writer and to the readers. It's inevitable that what you write reflects who you are. Now, my personality isn't the kind that's adorned by others. Not everyone can accept the YOU you want others to perceive. But I guess if a person has accepted the consequential effects of what he/she writes, then hey. Be my guess and say all you want. Just be classy when you do it. You can't believe how you can easily get away with it and judgments won't be passed just as quickly or as mean. ;)

Cheerios!
