What is a blog?
This is not my first blog, this is just a blog that i'd like to share with more people. i dunno if i shld continue the first one and take it from here, or i shld just keep the other as a more private diary of sorts. which leads me to wonder: why do people keep blogs?
right up to the 21st year of my life, i ve never kept anything tt can vaguely be called a diary. Days felt good enough, fleeting thoughts were fleeting thoughts; i never had the urge to write them down or tell anyone abt them. but i rem i had a morbid fear that if i were to suddenly disappear from this earth, nobody wld ever know what i was really thinking abt.
in a way, it made sense that i have never kept a diary and yet i keep a blog. diaries should never be read by other people; blogs should. i guess the reason why i have no desire to write a diary is that i dun see the point of writing things where i ll be the only person who ever gets to read them. kudos to the person who said i oughta be a writer. and here i m, in a place where pple get to read my stuff without me worrying whether it sells, whether i get any money for it, or even whether i write well, for that matter.
i wonder again, why is it that as we cross one of those invisible barriers again somewhere in our lifetime, suddenly we long to share our thoughts with other people. are we so alienated? once again i'm inclined to think abt the feelings of the person who sits down at the end of the day to write in a diary. is that the point where one feels truly comfortable and at ease, as if the real self is coming through? How this whole blog biz is going to affect r ships like so many other forms of tech, i dunno. but what i do find interesting is that, the person whom u hardly know anything abt in sch or work is slowly going to become a very familiar stranger, if u keep reading his/her stuff! hmmm...maybe i ll write a story on that and make it into a film like Jimmy's turn left turn right :P

Alone in the Dark
today i was alone in the darkroom doing my b/w processing. sigh the pictures din turn out well, and the experience was a little scary. at first i cld see nth, then slowly as my eyes got used to the darkness i cld see a little. yet i still din load my film well. oh well... i m not developing the rest of the film myself. all my painstakingly taken pictures destroyed by my lousy processing skill :(
it rained all day today, just the kind of weather i hate :P. okie at least i saw a brilliant sun set behind the thick clouds on the way home. how nice if all the clouds were to disappear and i can see the sun, so beautiful!
and a little happy episode of the day, my molly gave birth, i never expected it to be a her (not good at telling the sex of mollies) and i din expect it to be pregnant cos it s the sole survivor of four black mollies i had. so happy! but now there is a problem of overcrowding. plus the twenty or so guppy fries, i have 40+ babies, adult mollies, guppies, tetras=headcount ard thirty; one black ghost, one luohan, five goldfish. ohmigod, which means i now have seventy close to eighty fish?
this is getting outta hand!

surprise in a book
i found a pressed plant (those w little white flowers) in the middle of a book i borrowed. how fun! i'm keeping this one and picking another one to put between the pages of the book and return it :)
