Why my Blogs are Looong!

First of all, I would have really preferred them more concise, but somehow I couldn’t make them short and sweet. I am writing about it now because after posting my recent blog (the one preceding this) I realized that it was just darn too long. Isa siyang nobela, hehe! Well actually, most of, okay I’ll admit, ALL of my entries are LOOONG. According to this site called PROBLOGGER, I’m already shamelessly disregarding Tips # 3 & 4 – Write less & 250 words are enough. Eeep! My last blog counted up to 2,500 words. Hahaha!

Well never mind PROBLOGGER. The truth is I’m not a professional blogger. I’m not selling anything online. I’m not reviewing the latest gizmo out there or the latest Hollywood flick. I’m not doing this to gain some income though I do hope that those AdSense boxes on my site would generate even a FEW dollars maybe after a year or so? But that’s not even important at all. I just wanted to make my blog look “web-savvy” hence you see those Google ad boxes there that I’m pretty sure nobody clicks on anyway.

While blogs originally started out as techies’ personal takes on topics like web management, new gadgets, software, and everything in that realm, it has definitely evolved and now every topic in the world seems to have a blog about it, and phenomenally people read the blogs more than the press releases. That’s because people want to know the real deal, and they need to hear it without biases from actual users.

But most blogs I have in my network are personal journals. That’s where I fall under. And while a lot of people would rather blog about silly and/or random things, I just prefer to write about recent events in my life IN A COMPREHENSIVE WAY, and in the light of Christ’s Word. And that’s how my blogs turn out to be lengthy. Sometimes, or make that most of the time, I just get caught up with the overflow of my heart and I just can’t stop writing at all. It’s like writing in a trance.

I don’t really mind if people don’t read my blogs because they’re way too long. I’m not really forcing my thoughts on anybody’s throats here. But I do pray that some readers will be moved whenever I'm sharing about my personal walk with God. Holy Spirit na bahala nun! =) Basically, I am just being me. Writing away whatever goes on in my head and in my heart. And based on my extremely looong blogs, you can now conclude that my line of thinking stretches out miles and miles away.

Hey, ironically this blog is short. However it still counted 400+ words. Oh whatever!
