Posting pics on blog

Once on a forum, someone posted a qn about posting pictures on blogs and of course it invited two viewpoints.

Obviously, some people think it is ok, some doesnt think so.

I personally do not think there is anything wrong with posting my pictures on my blog, but because I almost never take pictures, there isnt any pics to share also.

If I ever post a lot of my own pics, for sure I am taking them for the sake of taking, and for the sake of blogging.

Although I carry a wu wu dong dong, I am only using it to take pics of objects, or architecture, or blah blah blah. Even when I went to taiwan or thailand, I never take a single pic of myself. I record the surroundings, the happenings, the etc, but I dont record myself enjoying it.

To the people who thinks it is ok, like myself, feels that a blog is a personal space when a person documents his/her life. This blog of mine is a space where I blog and friends whom I dont get to see regularly can come in and update themselves.

I always say to friends, when I am out with them, this this that that happen, hahahaha, to read the details, read my blog ok? Then I keep quiet and swallow a few forks.

To the people who thinks it is not ok, it is basically because they are very worried about their pics being circulated around internet.

But I think it all boils down to the issue of privacy.

I can just loosely catergorise that people who post their pics are ok with their blogs being connected to them as a person. Most blogs that I see with the blogger's pictures narrates a lot, but there isnt anger. Not that I like to blog abt my angry being, I expect ppl to blog abt angry things, but I would think anger is a good topic, definately better that what's lunch, what's tidbits.

When there's no anger, there's no lashing, no finger pointing, and no vulgarities. But how can it be? When you live your life, there are bound to be people who pissed you off. But although one says the blog is a reflection of himself/herself, only certain facets of life are displayed.

Ok la, you may say that you only want to share the pleasant things with friends, not the anger.

I think of all the blogs I read, only xiaxue posts pics religiously yet splash her rage all over her pink blog. *salutes*

Personally, I mention lots of friends and colleagues on my blog, but I end up referring to them as him or her. I hum jii also, very wo nang fei, dowan people to catch me talking abt them on a space where everyone has access to.

Scared mah, so only when I am talking about good things then I blog names, if not I dont specify. Sometimes there are many things that I want to blog about, but because I calculate that the risk and backlash might not be worth the moment of 'songness' as the angry words slide off my fingers, I decided against blogging about it.

Arrgghhh! How!! There are a lot of things that I want to blog, but I cant! Is this my blog or not?!?!?

Aiyah, I just blogicide la. Like hisreason and theangrylittlegirl just did. I am so disappointed when they do that. I love reading their posts because it is so real and xue ling ling, unlike mine. Whenever I read someone's blog, and see people commenting that the blogger writes very thoughtfully and well, like ningx (defunct too), I am envious, but I dont think I will ever be able to write from the bottom of my heart on blogger.

Livejournal has a password access for friends it seems. Should I jump ship?

When I first started my blog, I admit I hoped that many people would read about it. I reasoned with myself that I would be pushing myself to write in better english (my lingo standards really sucks lor).

As I added more and more entries, I realised I cant keep up with being nice, and I started showing my devilish side. I am only thankful that my boss doesnt know of my blog, or he will know of half of my mcs are keng-ed. -_-"

Now how I hope I never gave my blog address away that freely. I like this moniker, so chances are I wont change, but...

I think the people I worry about doesnt read much of my blog also la hor.

I honestly have no idea. I dont have a tag board, I dont allow comments, I dont monitor my site's visitors and basically I dowan to hear any response from people who happen to swim by and is reading my blog out of boliaoness. But being too rational, I still included my gmail add so that I can be notified if absolutely necessaried.

The only ppl who I know is reading my blog are people who reflects to me directly, face to face, via sms, via msn or something. Everyone else I really dunno. *Eyes open wide*.

Is it really a good idea to post so much of my life where people have access to? Wo zai ming, ni men zai an! I super loogi!

Sigh.

For the time being, I will not blogicide my blog la. After all, this blog has given me a chance to look back at myself and correct my behaviour.

But I will also not add more pics that will identify myself more.
