When we were much (emphasise on the MUCH) younger, blogging was one of the ways of being in the ‘IN’ crowd, it was a fashion trend… We blogged about everything in our lives, literally everything, from the brand of cereal we ate to the hunk(s)/babe(s) we dreamt of at night.
It was a fantastic way of keeping communication alive, even in the virtual world…
Now, blogs are the avenue through which we discover startling events… like how a certain friend had a total gastrectomy for gastric cancer, another ex-classmate just went thru a five-hour long op (and I have no idea what it was for!), another is dating a married man, another got cheated by one of those 臭男人, someone got married and had a kid, someone’s parents passed away… and so on… People falling ill with all kinds of chronic diseases and worse, cancers…
It seems like blogs are now the only form of communication for some of us. We just don’t have the time/effort/heart to maintain friendships.
Or more accurately, we just stopped caring.
PS: Health matters. Do treasure it.
