Blog it?

It all started when I realized that I enjoy writing down my thoughts and sometimes arguments that took place in my head. I thought it would be good to share lessons I learn from life.

Showed my 'work' (in draft) to some of my close friends and asked them what they think of it. Instantly, they responded 'Blog it'.

In my mind: Why blog it? It doesn't have any value and more over, if I'm going to write to make a difference to someone's life, I'd love to see it in some magazine or newspaper somewhere. Who reads blogs anyway? I know some do, but only the famous bloggers gets the exposure. Who am I? It won't be that easy and not very glamorous. (‘My article is in Readers Magazine’ as to ‘Please read my article in my blog space’)

I brushed those suggestions away. Since writing is part of my New Year's resolution, I have been sharing my intention to write, and almost all encouraged me to blog it.

I must have been afraid of this new thing that I had never tried. Told myself, it may not be something I'd like to do, but no harm in finding out what blogging is all about. You know how sometimes we think that something is not good because we never tried. It was like 20 years ago, when banks introduce ATM in Malaysia. Many said it is not good, because of their fear of the unknown.

So, I humbled myself, sought information and started to toy with the idea of me blogging. It isn't that bad after all. Again, there is no harm in trying.

I got several blog from a couple of friends, who live to blog. (Yes I'm exaggerating) I found this place to my liking because it is user friendly to people like me.

So here I am. Blogging.

I’m looking forward to any comments, feedback and suggestions. Feel free to drop a line or two.

P/S: You may comment on my English as well. I’d love to learn new words, and ways to express with ink.
