Me Smiling Broadly Over These

I got these a few weeks ago but it still feels unreal that I have these two in my possession. Personally, I think it was money well spent ('',).

Facebook

I just created a Facebook account. Wonder how long it will last before I abandon it like Friendster and this blog looks like it's heading towards its doom. Aih.

I Got Pulled Over!

Man..it was scary. I'm still traumatised. Bloody UIA-highway junction traffic light!

Contemplating

It's been months since I posted anything but I just didn't have the mood to write. And today after reading a book, I felt like sharing some of my thoughts. I picked up a book that I bought at whim half-a-year ago early this morning and just finished it and it made me think. I've thought about it for some time but the book really opened my eyes to contemplate about writing things that happen in our lives. The book is entitled Tabloid Love by Bridget Harrison and it's basically a memoir of the author's life when she first arrived in New York and joined the dating scene where she dishes out everything that happened during her dates. In addition, during her time of the-significant-other searching, she was also a reporter at New York Post and a columnist for a dating column where she told the readers about all of her adventures. When you think about it, it's really nothing when you share your experiences with other New Yorkers who go through the same thing but at the same time the other side that's being dished on might not be too happy about it and because of her column it wrecked her relationship.

My point is this. Memoirs, or blog posts for that matter, are good for the writers soul because we can express any pent up feelings or emotions but when we write something we have to be absolutely sure that we won't regret it after it is published especially when it involves other people who are still breathing. I have written some posts that after reading them again are somewhat hurtful and taught me to be more cautious the next time I write anything. People can be good humoured but some might take it personally and an injured ego is not an easy matter to deal with. Plus, second chances in any kind of relationship is not always a certainty.

Food for Thought

Two heads are not always better than one. Believe me.
