for the sake of writing or privacy?

there's no gold nor glory for keeping a blog, right? well, at least that's what i think. it took me a long time to finally decide to start this.. let's see, there's the limited time to write (even to handwrite in my personal journal i've been keeping for as long as i can remember), another obstacle is when the days passed uninterestingly i tend to let it pass and miss an entry. the toughest decision was the lack of privacy.

i'm a privacy freak. i remember years ago i had quite a fight w/ sister when i found out she was reading my journal. ever since, i decided to skip very personal thoughts to myself, never have it recorded anywhere.

a journal or a blog is about writing, from there it's the keeper's choice to make the decision either to keep it for herself or share it with others. but a blog is slightly different, where anybody can just enter any name and do a search. with some luck you can find a friend's blog. so i guess once u decide to keep a journal online, there goes yr privacy. yeah, u may think it's safe just because u use an alias.. but then, what's the fun of writing but nobody else to read it and give feedback? i bet every writer has an ambition or maybe that slight craving to have an audience or two. but not necessarily personal stuff tho... ;)

so i guess i've made peace with this privacy issue and so here u r reading this. on my part i'll do my best to be consistent, from your side? nah, don't expect much, but any comment, input, feedback, scorn, complain (don't be too hard on me tho - LOL) is welcome.

thanks for making time reading this. hope it's not much of a waste ;)
