Yours sincerely and truthfully........

I remember when i first started blogging, most of my friends were curious and even untill today they are still as curious, they asked and they still do ask, how we bloggers can blog so much, can have so many things to rant about, and i used to and still i will tell them this. I love writing and my daily encounter with life itself is sufficient to give me topics to write about.

Today's post is about me saying just one thing about me being a blogger a sincere and truthful one, i received email recently implying that if it was all the truth or bona fide about the stories that i blogged about, or could it all be made up ones,hence i just wanted to share a little why i love blogging, even it was only one email questioning my sincerity.

I believe in truthfullness and that's why on my first third day of my blogging journey, i had pasted my picture and that of my family, (the first two days, i did not how to paste photos, so i only did it on the third day) i wanted people to know who i am and i dont believe in anonymity, i am kind of "you get what you see" type of person.


The subjects that i write about are true life's accounts, some of my own, some of my friends', some are those i see, i bump into and most of all,all of them are real. At one point,one of my sisters was so mad about me because i wrote about her divorce, which even resulted her in severing tie with me.(we have since patched up). I talked about my mild alcohol addiction and how my eldest son Jovial despises my drinking buddies so much



I even wrote about my spending a night away from home due to a "cold war" with my wife, i jotted down my arguments with my sons, i talked about my business when it hit the nosedive, and the misunderstanding i had with my business partners, and again,all i had written can be accounted for.


At one junture i even shared my years of suffering from depression, i shared my joy, my thoughts, my frustrations. I dont believe in making up stories, if i did,i believe my readers or the visitors will know about it and nobody wants to read things from untruthful bloggers.


Just like week, i received one email from a girl i dont even know, telling me that she was thankful to me about some insipiration she got from reading some posts of mine.(Glory be to HIM) i believe everyone of us has the ability in making someone feels happy no matter how small it can be, but it all must start with truthfullness.

On the whole i just love blogging, it has given me so much joy in unlocking myself in the form of putting my thoughts,my feeling and my mood in words. And i am really thankful that you keep lending your ears to me. Kudos to you.



P/S : If you can go on living, then you can go on blogging...........sincerely and truthfully.

  5. you write whatever you want to write, as long as you are comfortable with it. It's great reading truthful accounts, because we learn from it, get encouraged by it. If a person choose to be sceptical, and not believe the entire truth, that's their perogative too. You have no one to answer to but yourself. You have to find your own fulfilment where blogging is concerned. :)

  7. I have to admit I thought your previous story was ( at least partly) fictitious. This time I should start by saying how much I appreciate your choice to stick to real and honest stories about your life. It's probably the most difficult way of blogging - for instance one runs the risk of unintentionally causing damage to or indignation of friends and relatives.

    (On the other hand I love fictitious stories also; some author seem to have said: "good fiction is lying the truth".)

  8. So many things to blog about...but I'm sticking to my routine of just having a post a day. If too many, people will also get bored...but I seem to notice that there are people who post a few shorts posts every day - maybe to get more comments as the total for all the posts can be quite substantial. Dunno lah...just what I feel!

    Btw, 3 days and you were able to post photos already. I took a couple of months...and a lot of pressure from left, right and centre! LOL!!!

  13. Well, blogging is a passion. With passion, you could do wonders with it.

    The more passionate you are, the more you're motivated to write. To some, it's a waste of time. To a few others, they need to be englightened, then only they'll see the light, while to the rest of them, blogging is their way of expressing thoughts.

    Keep blogging
