un pensamiento para ti...

"He aprendido que todo el mundo quiere vivir en la cima de la montaña, sin saber que la verdadera felicidad está en la forma de subir la escarpada. He aprendido que cuando un recién nacido aprieta con su pequeño puño, por vez primera, el dedo de su padre, lo tiene atrapado para siempre. He aprendido que un hombre sólo tiene derecho a mirar a otro hacia abajo, cuando ha de ayudarle a levantarse..."

~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez

missing posts alert! no?

Uh... I see some of u have realized that I've deleted my last post. In fact, I deleted more than one post this morning. I guess I could say that my decision was triggered by an article I read in today's Sunday Times.

In a nutshell, the article, entitled "Teachers in a Blog Spot" said, "Teachers who blog face a minefield of ethical issues as students are bound to read their postings . They risk being seen as unprofessional if they gripe about their work".

I've been thinking about this issue since I landed in this line. Sure, I'm not a teacher, but still I do work with students and you know how resourceful teenagers can get, if one was so inclined. Even though my blog is non-searchable, we all know that the internet works only on one principle - unpredictability.

So yah, dun wanna get myself into trouble, knowing how emotional or impulsive I can get. So, no more gripe about my work from now!

Uhmm..good move there. Yes, especially in your profession. I mean it would be a whole lot different if you didn't expose so much of your personal information (i.e. photos, name, where you reside, description of where you work, etc.) If you were only a pseudonym without a face, then you can probably babble your heart out and not be trace to so easily.

*SIGH* Writing out your daily concerns, happenings, events, whether good or bad is the way most bloggers relief their stress and share their happiness. Blogging enables not only a way for the blogger to find their silent or responsive audience but a way for readers to realize that they themselves are not the only ones with a particular problem and/or not the only ones that think in a particular way. Blogging is a way for both writer and reader to let out some steam or share information to the world without having the world necessarily know who they are. Oh, well.

Does your workplace have inhouse blogging for kids?
