errors...

The thing about having to write something for print is that, you could go through your draft 10, 20, 50 times... At the end of it all, there will be this huge, obvious, blatant, cost-you-an-arm mistake smiling and waving at you, but you WONT notice it. It will be something like, spelling error of your biggest client's name...

This is much worse than not securing the deal.

Why???

What's a blog?

It’s been a long long time!

Then again, no one reads my blog anyway. So it’s not as if I have a base of fans to service.

Getting to the question: why does no one read my blog? Why the hell do I keep one then?

A blog to me, is a platform to write whatever stuff I want, without getting into trouble of course. Better than writing a diary.. Maybe somehow deep down, I want people to chance upon it, and read it... Perhaps leave a comment or two. I have no guts to flash my life and thoughts blatantly. So, coming up with excuses to bet on a few minutes of attention.

My blog. Is based on what I write and my thoughts, nothing whatsoever on who I am or how I look like. It’s not a publicity channel, it’s not to start a forum, and it’s certainly not to keep in touch (friendster will do, thank you. I don’t have 10 alumnis to update).

With that, I begin my bitching.

There is this blogger site that I go to every 3-4 days. Pure entertainment as I laugh at what I see. It’s a friend (whom I haven’t spoken to in a long time)’s blog. She’s my age – no teenager! It’s really entertaining I tell you. She takes pictures of herself like everyday, posts them online – left profile, right profile, big smile, smirky look, innocent frown, lunch, breakfast, dinner… You get it. Her thoughts on movies, holiday spots etc – googled / wikipedia’d info (this poor country’s university has been there for 200 years…?? WTF). So, people go to her blog to read her homework?

I really don’t understand.

I am such a bitch. Hahahaa…
