another question:
isn't the internet a great way to express oneself?
a few decades ago, when the computer was just the stuff of science fiction books, only famous commentators had a voice. we turned on our televisions and radios when we wanted information. but now, the computer is so accessible that even a small-town farmer from zambales who visits the internet shop to update the internet world about his travails with his blog is getting thousands of hits daily.
it's good that everyone can have a voice through blogging.
but since blogging is a form of communication, our thoughts are open for comments. although some may agree with what has been said, others may not agree with our points of view.
so why am i writing this?
i just want to point out that everyone has a right to speak up. and people should accept that.
if you are a blogger, you open writing to criticism. and you should be able to take it. if you get hurt by the negative comments you get about your commentary, realize that it's not an attack on your person (unless he or she says that you look like a rotten orange or something to that effect, or, if he or she is threatening to hurt you in any way--now that's serious) but a sharing of thoughts and ideas.
i get negative comments a lot. and i try to see their point. i think about what they have said, weigh things, accept if they are right or explain further...and finally move on. it's simple as that. no hurt feelings.

for me the best bloggers are the ones that are so passionate about their thoughts. a few days ago, i shared thoughts with someone who was blazing about his views. and i immensely enjoyed our exchange.
on the other hand, when i come across a blog entry where one makes writes something and then washes his hand off his entry when people start to react, dismissing it like he actually doesn't care, i'm turned off.
and more often than not, i don't read his blog again.
of course this is just my point of view.
and... it's open for comments ;)

i know a lot of people who are afraid to comment.
when a blog is something that could generate a lot of fiery reactions, many hold back and keep their thoughts to themselves.
ayos lang naman pag ganun.

i don't know about you guys, buit when i listen to jose mari chan's 'let's stop and talk awhile' i get a sense of euphoria. i get transported to happier times --- my worry-free childhood.
jose mari chan is a good song writer.
but when 'beautiful girl' is playing, i get an image of the young gretchen barreto and her thunder thighs.
now why is that?
