Therapy

Ever so often, some people ask me....why do I blog?

In many ways, having a blog allows people to have a sneak peek of your inner psyche.....and in a blog, you voice out your deepest feelings, moods, opinions and beliefs. And at the end of the day, people might think differently of you, or even sometimes you end up offending someone unintentionally. So, why do it?

Due to popular believe, there are 2 definitions of a blog.

The first; a personal Web site that provides updated headlines and news articles of other sites that are of interest to the user, also may include journal entries, commentaries and recommendations compiled by the user.

The second; an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a Web page; also called Weblog.

I prefer the second definition. The keyword? Thoughts.

No doubt that a blog serves like an online diary, a journal of somewhat, that records our everyday life. A testament to our existence. But however, it is also more than that. For me, it also records my thoughts, beliefs and how I feel about things. Not just what I did today or what I did yesterday.

And the best part, I think its a form of therapy for me. Over time and tide, I always have alot of things going through my head. I have so many issues, ideas and thoughts that keeps on churning in my mind that its diffifucult for me to focus on anything.

But with a blog....when I start to pen down each and everyone of my thoughts and ideas, it all starts to make sense. My mind starts to organise itself and then I slowly work out each issue and thought chronologically. And at the end, I understand myself better. I can work on my on feelings and emotions. I am able to focus and identify what that is bothering me if I'm sad, or I can formulate solutions to problems I am facing.

Like I said, its therapy.

Anyway, been delaying posting the 2 pics below. Had a little re-union last Saturday....woah...has it been a week!!??!!?!? Sheesh!! I can't believe it!!!!

Ok...back to the point. Met up with my favourite pals Rena and Carmen last week over dinner at CafeCartel. Been a while since I saw them and I really missed them alot. Work hasn't been the same since they resigned. But I guess they're headed for greener pasteurs. Still, for those few brief hours, we manage to catch up on each other's lives and the good ol' times. Being around the same old gang is always a great thing. Never a dull moment.
