I would like to refer to my fellow blogger's blog post on 24th May 2008, on "careful about what you blog". [Link]

First I got to say, who has the right to intervene about what I should write in my blog. It is as good as directly ordering me what I should do in my life.

Personally, I treat this blog as a place whereby I can write everything truthfully, a place where I can be who I really am, a place where I can talk all I want. And most importantly, a place where I can tell others that this is the real me.

Moreover there is this "Profile" mini bar in my blog. For people who know me, they know that this is really my name, really my birth date and really my school. No doubt about it. In other words, I endorse on what I have written.

Perhaps my blog hasn't really outrageously criticized any of my superior, any of my elders, I feel that there's nothing wrong about criticisms if they are constructive, they are truthful and they are sincere. I also do not encourage mere cursing and bad mouthing people, but if they are truthful comments, then why not we share them here?

And to those people who wants to read into their students, or employees' "inner mind", then please have the mental preparation that you may be outraged, disappointed or tongue-tied after reading the blogs. If you are not mentally prepared for what you are going to see, choose not to view the blogs.

And you see all those entertainment stars. What do they say when they were asked about their negative reports? They say they don't watch TV, they don't read newspapers or Internet forums because they are not mentally prepared to see what they are going to see, and believe that they have done nothing wrong.

I feel that if there was ever a case I was confronted by my employer or my teacher or professor about the things I write on my blog, I will tell them,

"If you think you are not prepared to see what you are going to see, just don't view my blog. And please have more confidence in your student / employee. It is very sad for you not to come to me directly for my comments and trust me, and now having to confront me like that."

The lesson to this bunch of people: Unless you think you can swallow the consequences, don't read blogs.

And the lesson to fellow bloggers: Be responsible what you write. Eat only what you can swallow.

It is seriously very sad for people not to trust each other and result in this kind of blog searching.

And I would not want to lie to anyone about what I think. The very last person I will lie to is myself.

My blog is a representation of me, myself, and I.
