I don't like it when my inspirations only strike at night, mostly midnights.
I don't like it that I can't rest my mind until I babble it out.
I don't like it that I always sleep late.
When I sleep really late, I get hungry and I have to get out of my room to find food.
Then, my mum finds me awake at 3am, she starts the nagging.
My mood gets shitty and I feel terrible.
You see, the consequences... lol...
You see again, I'm still not giving up on writing.
Literally, writing but yeh, typing, ok, it's typing.
You might wonder if I have a full time job, no I don't.
I've been to two job interviews, I got the first one but I couldn't pull myself to do it.
I also couldn't pull myself to go for the job interviews that I wanted to.
My parents are giving me pressure, I'm not doing anything, I have coloured hair.
Things aren't easy but they sure do seem easy for other people.
What I really want to do is this.
A full time blogger/social networker.
I don't really just want to be a blogger that shares high resolution pictures.
I credit myself as a writer, I want to be a writer that touches people's heart.
I like traveling, I like going places that I've never been before.
I want to experience different things and share them which I always do.
I like singing too, being a social networker allows me to do almost everything I like.
BUT I have a life to sustain...
I know I'm not a professional writer.
I mostly talk about emotions and life, lots of romance but come on, romance is a beautiful thing.
Emotions are hard to be understood, perhaps you can find ways to understand
different emotions better through me.
Romance is not a bad thing, I want people to appreciate and continue appreciating love and romance.
I want to encourage people to read, not just looking at pictures for pleasure for your eyes.
Well, yeh, we appreciate beautiful things, what you don't know is words can be beautiful too.
Which NOT many of young Malaysian readers would appreciate NOW.
(90%of my blog readers are Malaysian, so yeah...)
I can see that we are slowly getting there now.
This blog post will not get as many "likes" as the ones with a string of pictures, I guarantee.
I want to encourage young Malaysians to appreciate the wonder of words.
Well, that's too a big goal but I'll start small.
I talk about things that are more relevant to them (mostly girls).
Guys should start reading blogs too, to know more about girls, not to just look at their pictures.
I meant, yes, you look at pretty girls but get to know them more, not just skin-deep!
Oh, what am I talking about?
Bloggers only reveal the presentable bits of their life.
We are just normal people, we need to eat, we laugh, we pout, we go to the bathroom, we sleep.
Do not think our life is glorious, we get the perks, we get free stuffs.
Honey, free stuffs are not going to pay our bills.
You have a full time job, you get paid every month, doesn't that make you cooler?
We don't get fixed salary, we are in between, up and down, left and right, everywhere.
People say that blogging is dying.
I won't deny it but please don't let it die.
Support your favourite blogger.
Fashion blogger, lifestyle blogger, travel blogger, fitness blogger etc.
Support them! Do not think that your "like" doesn't matter since they have got thousands of likes.
It's not true, number matters for us, in fact, it matters a lot.
(Just fyi, follow me and read my latest blog posts on iMotiv, I always go on iMotiv to check likes and comments to judge if my blog post is good enough, lol) Support them! Spread the word for them.
Tell them that they are awesome, tell other people that they are awesome.
Try to understand them if you like them, don't just look at their pictures.
Their beauty isn't just skin-deep.
We lose our motivations to blog when nobody reads.
Let me rephrase it, I lose my motivation to blog when nobody reads.
It's a lot of work from taking pretty pictures.
Sometimes I can't touch my food even when it's already sitting there and tempting me to eat it before it gets cold because we take turns to snap good pictures.
Sometimes you get stuck at certain places because we take turns to snap nice pictures in front
of an artistic wall, a spectacular view, a cozy background.
(That happens way more often when your friends are all bloggers.)
Deciding on the best pictures to be edited.
Edit pictures, colour, contrast, brightness, sharpness.
Choice of words, type and delete, type and delete.
Be careful on the words you use, it might appear to be a different meaning to certain people.
Some of the readers actually asked my hairdresser, my manicurist if I am lanci (cocky).
I'm the most cincai person in this world, I'm just not good at talking to new people.
I go to an event without knowing anybody there, I'll just sit in a corner.
Yup, that's me but if you talk to me, I am talkative.
There was this time when I was shoe shopping in Australia.
I had a big fight with my ex the night before, my eyes were swollen and I didn't have make up on.
I was so surprised, or should I say shocked to have been recognized by a girl IN AUSTRALIA.
"Hi, you are Daphne right?"
"Oh, hi, yes, nice to meet you."
"I read your blog!"
":) Thank you!"
Then I sat down and looked down at my shoes for a long time.
I got home and I received a comment saying that I'm cocky.
I feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel so bad, still feel bad about it.
I stared at the shoes because I felt so ugly that day and blamed myself for not dressing well.
Mostly mad at my ex who made me cry and also went to the washroom at that time.
I learnt my lessons now 1. Never leave house without make up 2. Smile no matter what.
I don't really smile showing my teeth, the reason is I don't think I have nice teeth.
Simple as that, I'm not an angry person, lol lol lol.
You see.. if you just look at my pictures, you might think I'm cocky.
If you read this, then you know why I don't give bright smile a lot.
Ok, Im off topic again but anyway...
If you still want to read blogs, you want your favourite bloggers to update their blog more often...
Support them, they need you.
Don't let blogging (Malaysian scene) die.
