I am amazed Jan. This has sank into my senses now. Indeed, blogging had affected my offline interaction. Before I can savor a hearty or mouth-watering meal, I need to have a picture of it taken first. Everday, I would list in my calendar [in my CP] the things that I could write in my blogs. It is amazing, LOL!

That only goes to show you're passionate about blogging. Can't keep enthusiasm to ourselves, that's one of the signs. We're like evangelists sometimes - spreading the good word about blogging to everyone who has the misfortune of looking in our direction. :)

ha! I find great amusement in those stories because they feel so true. I've been blogging for a month and have already lectured 2 or 3 people on how they should start a blog. what a freak.

Hi, Lee. Gumagana pa naman email ko. I just didn't know how to reply lalo
na't involved na ang lechon. Alam mo naman kaming magaganang kumain. LOL.
Are you serious?! Wag na po kaya, Lee. As long as you're happy doing your
usual stuff on blogging okay na kaya un. Ahehehe

Nothing wrong with telling a photographer how he might show his work to more people, Jan. If he's bored and impatient now, one day he might wake up and think, Hey, that's what that guy was trying to tell me: imagine if I'd listened three years ago?

From what I can see, in your recommendations here and on Google, you sincerely dedicate a great deal of time and knowledge to helping people.

Prodding a sister into telling her story better isn't wrong either. It's not even impolite dinner conversation where I come from. But then I live with my husband and me. Telling the other to "cut to the chase" is considered helpful, since there are some things that are difficult to say.

Bah.

I'm real sure diving deep into the blogging world had a significantly not good impact on my last relationships... with a wanna be writer, God bless her heart.

Writing is pain.

NOT writing is worse pain.

Woops, there's a blog post there... gotta run. Ta!

(Just knocked it out, short one.)

And this, too: when I write creative fiction and it reflects objective realities of certain segments of society that weave around the hero or heroine, can say I've documented it very well? Maybe this is what you mean?

Beautiful! You got it right, bro. Thanks!

Documenting seems a dreadful activity, but if you can make it a la CSI, I'm in. Kidding. ",) Of course, it's the same. Although of course when we say documenting it carries with it that air of scholarship or rigorous research.

Yeah, we become little historians, trying to understand the world around us through our blogs and microblogging tools. Very handy way of coping with the times. Of course, others prefer just adding noise to the mix. But that's just the beauty of it There's room for everyone. Even for late adopters like me. ",)

Oh JG, you made me laugh so hard. What a clever way you delivered your thoughts. I know I am a few days behind you on this so please forgive me. I do wish to acknowldege, in my microblogging way on Twitter I have the same thoughts: " Oh I could tweet this, this would make a great shot for twitpic, darn I really should have tweeted about 'xyz' etc. "

Can i add... documenting?

So it would read like this;

Writing. Blogging.Documenting. It's all the same.

Ahahaha! Some measure of influence? My my Mister Most Influential Emerging Blogger - I cannot say the same eh, at least not yet. But I agree, my friends and family very rarely comment on my posts, but then again, why would they if they can talk to me about it in person?

Gah, I never get to watch TV anymore. What's on?

Re: How Blogging Affected My Offline Interaction

jangeronimo — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 04:28:01 -0000

That's a little puzzling, isn't it. Online we've some measure of influence.
But offline? We can't even get them to comment on our blogs. Do you have
some success in this department? I don't. But it's okay. Just as long as
they don't interrupt my writing just because some misfortune happened to the
heroes of their favorite telenovela. LOL.

Hi LJ!
I can't say I have changed much from before in terms of social interaction - although, being the (slightly) obsessive person that I am, I sometimes find myself with nothing no talk about other than blogging. Haha. I think my gf and my friends are beginning to get tired of it. Lol.
I'm not. Tee hee hee.

I hope you'd be able to convince her. I have a feeling she'd be a natural and can give you a run for your money. :)

Yeah, I know what you mean. Ordinary events and even routine work take on a special meaning. We learn to inquire more and see them in new angles. Blogging can be a tool for critical thinking. We all know of course that writing is an element of critical thinking. Happily, blogging turns out the same. Sometimes even more so because we have to bring into the mix other concerns we hardly bother about in doing the traditional way of writing. Thanks a lot for sharing with us your thoughts. :)

Is that true? That's the stuff of your dreams? Mine is different. I had this dream once that Darren Rowse was interviewing me. Imagine that! So that's why Elmot started teasing me as Darren Raw.

You can take it both ways: Raw as in hilaw. Or Raw as untruth or hallucination. Ahehehe.

Now, I don't have dreams anymore. I'm so beat with all the late hours I keep that I sleep like a log every single time. :)

Actually, I think you could classify her as a sortof blogger without a blog, if you get my meanin'. I've been tryin' to coax her to write for a while now, though. But she is definitely my encourager!
