I've read a couple of blogs and realise that blogging can actually crush human communication in so many levels. Rather than relate to a friend in person what happen, or cry out your problems to a person, it has become a dumping ground of frustration, sadness, insecurites and anger. People face trouble with friendships and instead of dealing with the problem, they type it out neatly and click the 'Publish Post' button. Hey, I'm guilty for all the above by the way. It didnt use to be that way. I think by blogging, you sorta release some of the guilt you feel when you've screwed up, but because you're too 'high up', too 'egoistic', too 'always right', too 'Im wiser', you feel by typing down what MAY be your fault into a publicly accessible blog, thinking the other party involved is gonna read about it anyway, hopefully things will go back to normal, and if they don't who cares? I used to bother too much about apologising when I made mistake, then I met people who just wanna release some 'pent up' anger and with a swing of a wand, "VOILA"everything goes back to normal. Na, Im gonna try something else this time....

On another note, I know this is too little too late, but having heard my car-pool buddies talk about THE notebook..yes..I JUST watched it, I don't think its half as bad as I thought it to be. People will say, it's so hollywood, the main female character seems to act an impulse and she has 2 men after her, waiting hand and foot. But surprise surprise, it has some realism imbued into it. Im sure of the many people you know, there's a friend, a so and so who's in 'love' with this other girl who already has a boyfriend. Sure people can criticize the movie and say its all about self-fulfilment, about impulse, but this only shows how easily we all succumb to temptation. Its a bit ironic that within this fairy tale of a story, we actually find its a very 'human tale'.
