Pelf’s article / review on “What Bloggers won’t tell you…” got me thinking about my life before blogging and now.
I have to tell you, my life before blogging was really fun. I think I really lived life. I didn’t do anything for the sake of blogging. I did it solely for me. I had my adventures, I had my dangerous moments, I had my life.
Now, with blogging, it’s a little different. I’m not sure how to describe it..but part of me wants to keep blogging so that my kids will get to know abit about mum. But seriously, will this blog be alive in the next 10 years? The other part of me, feels the need to satisfy the carnivorous needs of my readers. All 1, 2, 3..of you. Hah!
I feel I have to give you something to read about. I just feel if I don’t write something, anything..I’ll feel like I let you down.
It’s a heavy obligation, no? Does anyone out there feel the same?
Then there’s a little part of me, that is actually quite reluctant in doing the networking bit, but you just have to do it….or your blog is just as dead as the cat I killed. I like alot of blogs out there. But…there’s just too many of them. Plus, alot of them are really good. I feel like such an inappropriate voyeur sometimes.
The other thing I like to highlight is this, Digital Cameras.
Life before D.C were much simpler…if you took a bad shot, you’d never know. You have a set number of pictures to snap before you take it to the printers and you print it all out, good and bad. You’d file it away or put it neatly in a photoalbum.
Now, with D.C… my life is just so screwed up. I bought a pro Flickr account. In there, I have thousands of photos, all in my ever-growing number of categories. My eyes feel so heavy when I’m photoshopping the mountaineous number of photos.
I have not sorted them all out, I feel I have NO time! I want to, so badly… but this takes so much time! All I do is upload all my photos into Flickr…be satisfied that it is stored somewhere safely…and move on. But, I need to download the nicest, fuzziest pictures and take them to the printers. I need to have hard-copies!
Sometimes, I feel cursed because I actually enjoy blogging and taking fuzzy photos..but…. I have to remember..there is life out there! And I’m not talking about aliens. Sigh.

hahah so many how to keep neh? like me , i also go pengsan with the amount of pics i snap and snap.
And true life after blogging is slightly different.
Initially yes. I felt I wanted to keep everyone happy and at the same time visit everybody. I think that is a phase every blogger goes through.
I’m much happier now because I do not feel compel to do all these things out of obligation.
Wah a mountain of photoes. I can relate with that.
wah i didnt know u go and buy pro flickr… even i didnt do that… ahahha salute!
Well, at least you remember what life was about before you started blogging! I have absolutely no idea — and I don’t even know if it’s good or bad news.
Whatever it is, do keep blogging. Passionately. And you will see the rewards
Pom chak chak Pom chak chak~!!
Editing pictures can consume a lot of time and effort. Sometimes I couldn’t be bothered to edit them too much. Hehehe.
Better start sorting out the pics now..cause it’ll never get lesser just more and more and more!!!!
