Have you ever come across a blog where the author writes about her personal life up to a point where you feel disgusted?
Here are the Basic Rules of writing personal blogs. These rules are not certified by any authorities. It's just simple rules that everyone, as humans with brains, should already know. Because if, by any chance, you don't keep to these rules, and if your blog suddenly becomes "famous".... it will backfire on you.
If you are married, do not write about your husband's flaws. Or whatever your husband did for the day. Or if your husband changed tyres, ate biscuits, came home late, or any other personal stuff of his behalf, just don't write it. Imagine if your husband has his own blog, and he wrote about what you wore, how you seduced him to have sex and all that, won't you feel a little embarassed?
If you are not married but are attached to someone, do not post whatever love letters he wrote to you. He wrote that letter for YOU. Expects you to read it PERSONALLY. And not for the world to see how soppy and romantic he is. Guys don't wanna look like pussies. We all know guys can be cowards, pussies and everything else the world think as "negative" aka to the feminine side of life. The thing is, being a softie is not a bad thing. And being in touch with the feminine side is not a bad thing at all. It's just that the world doesn't like to know how you and your guy go soft towards each other. It's a PERSONAL MATTER. "Soft" things are meant to be sacred, exclusive and shared together, so that's why it's special. NOT SHARING YOUR RELATIONSHIP STORIES TO THE WORLD. Nobody wants to be with either of you. So nobody wants to know. And if they want to know, it's because they wanna LAUGH AT YOU.
If you like to post photos of yourself, please don't do it excessively. Excessively meaning, you are so obsessed with yourself. The only backfire you will get is people would say your everyday life is all about showing what you did for the day. Even stupid things like smoking shisha, going for a dumbass stupid dinner at a stupid place, or just a simple you-have-no-life-so-all-you-did-for-the-day-is-photograph-yourself-in-your-pathetic-room so that you can post your ugly face on the Net, in hope that someday people will discover you. If you're pretty, it's okay. But even a pretty face will find enemies through doing this, because people just love to hate you if you're pretty. The only thing you'll get is you're pretty, but you're shallow, and you have no interest but yourself, so that's why you have no idea what else to talk about in your blog but yourself. And so... conclusion, NOBODY TAKES YOU SERIOUSLY.
If you feel you are just a simple-simple nobody, do not do any of the above as well. Because a nobody nobody is an easier target. Muka kampung, dressing mcm kimak, muka girlfriend mcm sial, muka boyfriend mcm nak kena pelempang, all of this will be directed to you. Doesn't matter behind your back, or in your face. When you go out shopping, strangers who read your blog will notice you, and they'll somewhat tell other people "hey I read that person's blog. what a joke. you should check it out." Result is... laugh of the town. You're now famous because you're a nobody, and trying to be somebody, and failed miserably.
But if you want to write a blog, write something "intelligent". Or twisted. Not intelligent as in LITERALLY intelligent. Just so-called intelligent/interesting. Something disturbing is fine too. Such as this blog. A hate blog is disturbing. But maybe it's a good disturbing. Because there are other sides to every story. Nobody hates a hateblog. People will say they hate it, but they'll read it anyway. It's a love and hate thing. If you want to write about anything else besides yourself, all the better. People wanna learn something. Not learn about you. Unless you're a real celebrity, you have the right to write about yourself. Because celebrities are often misunderstood. But still, whatever written in a blog can be bullshit. I can write about anything here, saying I'm this and that. But in real life, I might just steal your girlfriend, snort cocaine, live in a hut or anything else completely opposite from what I wrote. The internet is a joke. Don't take yourself too seriously. Being self obsessed exposing yourself in the internet will just make you another joke.
And if you're smart enough, you'll discover that this post is not about bashing you. Think harder. It's about helping you from embarassment.
