Blogging

In case some of you do not know, this isn't my first blog. I've tried blogging for 6 years but let's face it, my life isn't interesting enough to blog about. I would say my English isn't THAT bad. Is okay lah hoh. But then, the way I voice out my thoughts...abit kang ko. As in like, unless I'm ranting about something or someone I don't like, my sentences come out messy. One minute I could be talking about how to bake a pie and the next, I'll be talking about the dog I used to have. And you would continue reading on, thinking that somewhere in the story, both the pie and dog will somehow interconnect. Not in a creepy kind of way where I kill my dog and substitute vanilla essence with dog blood. But you know, maybe when I was a child...my father brought home apple pie for my birthday, and he told me he had a bigger surprise waiting for me in the car. Then he opens the door and the cutest little puppy jumps out and smashes the pie with it's tiny paws AWW <3 Right? It's supposed to connect somehow. BUT NO. HAHA. If you know me personally, and if we chat regularly, you would know I lack focus. Unless I'm super in to you or the topic on hand, I would just jump off topic in a second. And sometimes when I get bored of a certain topic, my mind blocks off the words and it's fine thru text because you can always go back and read it to understand. But when you're talking on the phone and you shut out the words entering your ears, you can't do anything about the stuff you missed. You can always use the 'signal not good' card. Or the 'aiya why you speak so soft' card. But at the end of the day, you will also paiseh ask them to repeat. So you just say okay, or laugh, or try to guess what it was that they said and respond appropriately. Don't like they say their fish die then you laugh. 1. They unfriend you. 2. The think you sot.
Okay see how I can go off topic. I started with messy sentences and ended with sot.
BUT SEE that's not why I started this post.

The whole point to this, minus the lenghty intro, is to say how much I envy bloggers. Bloggers who can actually write long posts of somethings and not nothings. I understand that in other countries, blogging brings in an income. Either from advertising products, or reviewing products. Most of these include clothing, cosmetics, and the occasional food bloggers.

Problem numero uno: I do not have the body of a model. Therefore, I can never be a fashion blogger.
Problemo numero dos: It wasn't until recently, at 18 years old, that I owned my first lip thingy. SEE I don't even know what it's called. And ofcourse I didn't buy it myself. It's sort of like a lip gloss thingy....that isn't  glossy nor sticky. Lip liquid? Lipquid. I don't know. Point proven that I also cannot do cosmetic advertising/reviewing.
 And problem number 3. I have no $$ to go around feasting and reviewing food. I know when you're established some companies don't charge you. But to venture into food blogging, you need a capital. Eating is easy. I can do it with my eyes closed. Anyone can haha. But I'm fat enough. And seeing as how I'm too lazy to exercise, it isn't wise to go into that. And honestly, if I was asked to describe the taste of the dish, my answer would be, but not limited to, "AH VERY NICE!"

I have friends. Not really friends. Just people I know, who are fashion bloggers. The concept of their blogs are fancy yet simple, their pictures well thought out and well photographed, the blog entries written with such divine English. And I think to myself, I can never be them. Not now not ever. And so, to all you bloggers out there who actually talk about useful stuff with good usage of language (as in not so cin cai like me), you deserve praise. Come I clap. You good.
