To blog or not to blog

We used to call them writing.

Now they are doodles, blogs, posts, rambles and many more. But then again, a rose by any other name…

So, people tell me, “if you want to write, write about things that are close to your heart”. Well, I certainly love to talk, but writing is a totally different matter all together.

Thus, here I am, on a journey of self discovery before I truly find my niche.

Hmm, where do I begin? Right then, let’s begin listing the things I do, know, love and good at (not necessarily in that or any particular order) and put a sanity check on all or most of them :
At the time of writing, I am one year short of turning the Big Four-Zero : sane

• I’m happily married with 3 lovely children : very sane
• I have a well paying, respectable job with a reputable organization : quite sane
• I love all aspects of the entertainment world : normalcy
• I am an Xphile (the Netizen’s name for the X Files fanatics -yup, the Mulder and Scully brand) : borderline normalcy, or maybe not
• I read online manga : Hmm…for a 39er, maybe not so sane
• I love watching animes : again for the age group, borderline lunacy
• I read and write fanfictions : bring out the warning bells
• I love J and K pop cultures : hmm…ok, back to a positive sanity check (being soap opera fanatics are quite normal for the ageing population, I heard, regardless of the language)
• I live in a household of 21 people (3 families with children, with 1 father in law, 2 domestic helpers, 2 headgehogs, 3 cats, 5 arawanas as well as 4 cable TV connections and counting : beyond normalcy

Ok, 6 out of 10 is not so bad, right? Well, at least in my book.

Ok, enough ‘blogging’ for one session. Will figure out my ‘Niche Area’ (a term currently popular in my area of work) in my next post.

So, til next time…
