Why do I blog?

People have often accused bloggers as being narcissistic and shameless. Like, who the heck would wanna read about your daily life right? But yet, blogs continue to be popular. Blog-hopping has become the new pastime. We are all guilty of being voyeurs in that we enjoy reading about others and their take on things that happen daily. [Don't say that you are not one, then why are you reading this?]

So, why do I blog?

When I first started blogging, (that was way back in JC, I deleted that blog already), it was because I was lonely I guess. And I needed a platform to express my thoughts. My JC days were my loneliest days, partly due to my own fault. I was too preoccupied with Fad. I met him practically everyday. So I barely saw my friends. But I was missing my friends badly. And well, ok nvm it's an old story and too complicated. So yeah, I was lonely.

But I guess, blogging has become a new form of media. It's my voice on the web. Of course, I can always keep a diary. But what's the fun of that when no one knows what you're writing about? I wanted people to know what I was thinking about, what I felt about certain things. But really, I just wanted to be heard.

I used to keep written diaries. I think I still have them with me, I'm just not sure where they are right now. I started writing since primary six. Sometimes, it's just nice to sit down and read back all that I've written. And see, how my writing has evolved, how I've grown and changed. But somehow, I stopped writing as frequently when I was in JC1. I guess I was too preoccupied with school. Anyway, it's so much easier to blog. I do still write in my diary from time to time, when I don't want to publish what I've written. But rarely though.

*shrugs* Maybe I am narcissistic, and maybe I am shameless. haha, oh well, I don't really care.
Why do YOU blog?

Anyway, I cleaned my study area today! I feel soo soo refreshed. Finally, everything is in order. I wanted to take a before and after photo, but my camera's batt has died-ed. And I'm lazy to charge it. haha.

I got to eat my twister fries! wheeeeeeeee~*

And I wanna watch Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. And Bewitched. And Monster-in-law. And Wedding Crashers. So many many movies so little time so not enough money. booooo.
