Over the past month, I was pondering whether to shut down this blog entirely or not. I have been blogging for 7 years, and I guess the lazy bug finally bit me. Most of the time, it takes the clock to tick halfway before I can finally mull on a perfect idea to write about. It takes a mileage of “thought” gearing before I can string a good, intelligible sentence-as I try to push hard for my engine of words to start jotting and have a smooth, fluid ride until the finish line of the post. It seems like chasing ideas are getting more profound and complicated as time goes by. Once the engine conks out, my mind will be put into halt until I call it a day sans a single post.

And so, I was serious into calling it quits. Well, few only take their time off to painstakingly read it anyway, I said to myself. I’m not very keen into reading other blogs, or what you call as “blog-hopping”, for the past years. I get cranky reading for hours most of the time [except in many cases which I am quite enthused at], and so I fixate myself into doing other things that do not involve actual reading. Hence, expect the author (me) erring, since she hardly peruse her posts for proof-reading.

Other than that, I am not comfortable exposing myself publicly. It’s not that I’m too paranoid for a possible stalking or identity-theft incident. It’s just that I reserve my right to privacy. This is not Norberto Gonzales being pried by the Senate or Andal Ampatuan Jr being accused of murdering 60 people just to satiate his lust for infinite power talking. I’m a private person, and I don’t feel like sharing to you my most intimate thoughts not unless you are a good friend of mine whom I personally talk to. I didn’t say that it’s a taboo for other people, strangers and non-strangers alike, to take a bite of your apple once in a while. To each his own, and I respect that. Unfortunately, it’s not my cup of tea.

Yet still, I didn’t lose hope. I was hoping that I could do something about the block and the laziness to keep myself blogging. And so, I thought about one thing: photo-blogging. In order for one to continue, she/he needs to find her perfect symmetry for one perfect harmony. A staccato may not be considered mellifluous if one note jars with the other. The notes, tune, orchestra as well as the audience should complement each other. I might be facing a new set of audience soon, but I really don’t mind for as long as I’m in harmony with my current craft. I can’t please those who can’t be pleased.

On photo-blogging, it doesn’t require me hefty of thoughts to translate into words to pen type in for a single entry. All I need is a good camera, and a good picture to share. On the other hand, I’m deviating myself from all the EMO CRAP that’s been circulating around Flickr or other photo/photo-blogging web services ‘coz I’m pretty much tired of it. Sorry, but I’m not joining the circle. Hence, I want to explore outside the box and take more pictures to inculcate people on where I am and what’s happening right now. I rather want to be artistic-abstract or realistic.

Yet, it doesn’t mean that I’ll completely stop writing. Sometimes, even just merely chatting nonsense with someone will give you an epiphany of thoughts to write about in this blog, more like a House moment. I know it sounds rusty, but it really happens to me sometimes. Oftentimes, current events prompt me to speak out and opine using my blog as an instrument for readers to know more about my personal stand. Of course, there’s always a subjective point of view, and I don’t try hard to be the enlightened one.

And so you ask, is owning a dslr camera and posting pictures in this blog the perfect symmetry? Honestly, I have yet to find out!
