“Doesn’t your blog have rooms for self expressions, personal thoughts or intellectual stuffs other than food and blogging?”

Actually, I used to blog about my emotions and personal thoughts every once in a blue moon. However, I, sort of, completely stopped expressing myself and be more cautious about what I write in my blog due to a number of reasons.

My sisters, cousins, aunties, uncles and most importantly, my parents are reading my blog. Yes, my parents are reading my blog. No, it is not as cool as you thought, probably only half as cool. While I am partially cool with them reading my blog, it is not cool when my parents used the stuffs that I blogged about against me. They don’t do that anymore though, probably they have accepted what blogging is all about. Still, my relatives are reading my blog and up till certain extend, it’s not that comfortable.

Secondly, I don’t really like the idea of exposing my inner self too much, in public. While I do tell my stuffs to my good old buddies or certain specific people on my MSN, I feel insecure exposing my emotions to every Tom, Dick, Harry or any other random readers I have. I do appreciate all the readers I have (Yes, you!), but I can only expose myself that much and anything more than that, it requires more than just reading my blog. The fact that I always like to keep things to myself first doesn’t help too.

Relationships between my parents and I lean more towards the bad side. I barely tell them my stuffs unless the need arises or my parents ask about it. This “unhealthy” relationship started and remained as long as I can remember and even until today, it’s still going on. Although at one point, it looked and felt better. Referring to the above two points, I try not to blog about my private stuffs or even if I do, I will password protect it. Whenever I password protect a post, there are a lot of “work” needed to be done and to make my life easier, I choose not to blog about it. Hence, no personal thoughts or private matters in my blog.

Being a pretty long winded person, blogging about intellectual stuffs that requires elaborations is probably not a very good idea too. Already people are skipping the text part and glancing at the pictures, I doubt people would be reading my 1000 words and text-only post. I am not the kind of bloggers who can express very well with words on specific issues like a few notable bloggers out there. We have such bloggers who are doing way better than me, an average Joe.

As for general or current issues, not that I do not care, I just don’t like to blog what 239487512 bloggers out there are blogging about, be it to express their views, gain traffic and / or attract search engines’ spider bots. I do know what’s going on with the country, be it from the mainstream medias or alternative medias. It’s just not my kind of blogging material and also, refer to the previous point.

So, that’s why you hardly see me writing text-only, emotions, personal thoughts or intellectual stuffs on my blog.

If you read until here, give yourself a pat on the back. And thank you, for reading all.
