“But you are not suppose to read (what I blog)!”

» by Lilian in: Blogging

“Eh, you wrote about (something something), you talking about me ah?”

Have you ever encounter this sort of question as a blogger?

Then, I shot a reply, “But you are not suppose to read what I blogged!!!!!!”

Question back – “Then, why you write lah!”

My reply – “I write because I want to write but everyone else can read it except you.”

The other person pengsan-ed with four legs up in the air.

Actually, it is fun being a blogger. But when I meet real people who brought up topics I wrote, I blushed! Really, really blushed. It doesn’t matter if it is just general topics or something closer to the heart. I have this idea that what you read on my blog is never meant to be discussed with me in real life.

It stays here in my blog.

So bloggers, do you ever experience it? Like your friend asking you, ‘Eh, you bitching about me issit?’ and you suddenly become tongue tied. Except of course, the example I gave above is not bitching but errm…praising? That’s why I am glad my hubby never reads my blog.

    Yeah I know what you mean. Sometimes you read something nice which you’re so sure it’s about you, so you go telling the person “Aww thanks, so nice ah you write about me like that”, and then the person goes “err I wasn’t talking about you”.

    I don’t know who’s more embarrassed. That person or me o_0

    Hell ya!! That’s y I can’t blog on ppl close to me…For example I wanna fire someone (colleagues or frens), if he or she dunno ur blog then u can fire puas-puas without any hesitate! But if he or she knows ur blog, u can only swallow back what u wanna speak out and keep it to urself. Damn!

    Blog is Blog. Real World is Real World. They are separate as far as I am concerned. Not that what we blog isn’t real. They’re very real. Only they are separate. Its a very strange thing. Once I was disappointed that hubby doesn’t read my blog now I am glad. Hahahaha.

    wakaka
    like that also can
    seriously…i think even though we know people can read about our blogs, it’s just that putting thoughts into words is easier than talking, so perhaps that’s why we’re less strict about what we blog than what we talk, which can result in some nasty situations if the post is about someone…
    oh well…that’s bloging

    usually my policy is ‘what’s in the blog, stays in the blog’, as in it doesn’t spill out into real life.

    but, but, but… if i’m in the mood to blog about someone who i know is reading my blog, well… there’s where one has to get creative… hehehehehe…
