the reason
today, I had the opportunity to meet a group of MBA students from Kyushu University, Japan. I know this is not a surprise when one of them if a well know blogger in Japan, who have had nearly 1,000,000 hits for his blog.
Its pretty amusing to know how this blog phenomena have touched and linked people from all parts of the world. I check my visitors statistic and am flattered that I do receive a lot of hits from abroad.
I had a discussion with my brother yesterday on the content of my blog. I was told, (and this is nothing new) how my blog appear to be too emotional. To explain myself, as in what I would normally do, might make me look defensive and thats what people think of me nowadays. HOw defensive I am at remarks thrown upon my face and how quick I am to explain myself, even during times when I'm not needed to.
As for the art of communication lies in a very large scale, the art of touching and connecting with others lies on those who have the natural ability to convey messages, to communicate and emote messages and feelings.
That is what this blog is all about. The platform to share, not just by disclosing personal facts, feelings and desires, but reaching out to those who feels and thinks the same.
as a writer, there is no way on earth you can please everyone, hence the existence of critics.
what I want to do here is not to please everyone. I might contradict myself, or probably annoy others.
but if I can share what I write with a few people who feels, thinks the same as much to appreciate the thought of my sharing, then, I'm a happy person.
this blog is, aside from sharing knowledge, is actually to make me feel happy. I'd be tons happier if I can share it with people across the globe.

there's no limit to blogging... one has the right to blog about anything and everything.
1m hits to his blog is pretty amazing. by the way, how do you check whether you have any overseas readers?

sensei,
ur greeting came in a bit late, but it was fun talking to them. they say I talk "gohmasuri" (is that the correct spelling?), meaning that I flatter them or in the correct term, 'membodek'. but "gohmasuri" means more like "polish" or sumthing like that kot. I dunno know. my 3seconds fish memory is kinda popular these days.
roul,
yes, I know what I want. true. thanks.
tina,
I get what you mean. and please, don't ever say I blog better than you. we're in different fields, hehehe. you have a love life and its non existence for me. you do narrative writings where as I do sumthing more, abstract, or subjective. so, I love reading yours as much okay.
daredevil8,
the seriousness gets in when you know your blog is read by some very talented and knowledgeable people and you get intimidated in terms of your own contents and the possibility of criticism. but knowing me, I'm very open to criticism, just that people accuse me of being defensive as for explaining myself. how can you first criticise and not be able to accept explanation and understand certain situation is what astound me most about these geniuses.
zewt,
you can have the statistic counter, those available on the net where you can detect the IP address of your visitors. 1million not for one day, its for an accumulated. probably if I haven't change my stat counter for like 6 friggin times, I might have received a few hundreds of thousand hits since 2004. hahaha, yeah abby, dream on (as voicing out what you all are thinking).
