Why we need Blog?

In this modern world, via globalization and information technology we are inevitably write our daily life not in a journal nor in a dairy book but in a website blog.

Long time ago, we write on wall, leaves and papers until few centuries ago we developed a binding machine to bind a book. Then we write on a book and this practice of writing continue over the years. Until 15 years ago, we developed our communication technologies and created a website which recently have been widely used worldwide. Then, some group created their owned website which they called blogger while other company created special website such as facebook and so on. What ever website emerge during this transition- blogger are increasing everyday. Why most people like to write they personal life in website? What's wrong with dairy etc? Here are my own personal opinion :-

a) Blogging is much more viable than dairy book - so to say, the moment we post our story in blog- we know that it will remain in the website for the next generation to read. Dairy book might not be durable as website- we might loose it or misplace it somewhere.

b) Blogging is much more alive than dairy book- Our writing will not be dull for century- someone might respond to our feeling/ experience or even might quote our life as their guide. It's a two way communication or even more.

c) Blogging symbolizes globalization-Whenever you end up reading other people blogs, you know that someone following these blogs- not someone near but someone outside the country, someone whom we usually call 'stranger' yet this stranger via blogging was transform into friend or even best friend. This what we call world without border- where we express our feeling freely. Nevertheless, we can visit any country easily via blogging.

d) Blogging creates new community-via blogging, we creates new community, new structure of society that come from common objective and idea- regardless of political , society or economic point of view. Positively- we have new nation in the making. Nation that united under one goal and objective, that share every detail information we ever needed in nation building.

e) Blogging updates your family tree and friends- well, it's the unexpected that is most interesting in this reason. By blogging, we may meet or write to our long lost cousins/family in the country or even oversea. Sometimes we don't expect to meet someone we rarely meet in the website but it does happen. Cousins/friends are somewhere out there-it's a kind of marketing also for us and family.

Gift from God

It's amazing to experience what many people would say "something impossible becoming reality."

Last weekend, i was so upset and frustrated with my work until I end up having this gout in my foot. Not sure if there is a significant relationship with stress but it surely feel the same. I was on my way to the clinic when suddenly my phone rang. I picked up the phone and my wife with her strange voice asking me if i ever bought something last week. Surely, i say with our financial constraint in Adelaide, buying something expensive would be quite impossible.

Well, she said that someone has just send us a new double bed complete with mattress. I said who ever it is, it's not me. Then she started to mumbling at me; telling me not to buy things that are not important. You can imagine how i feel with my gout and this news- painful yet joyful.

After i received my treatment, i quickly hop in my car and drove back to my house. I know something was wrong- someone might have mistakenly sent the bed to our house. As i arrived in our house- my wife still with her anger, waiting for my explanation. I looked at the bill and the boxes, my name was clearly written on it. It was strange and funny. I then asked my wife- what does the man said when he delivered the bed. My wife explained that the man told her- the bed was a gift from God. Someone bought it for us, so she thought that i was playing a joke with her. At last, my terrible weekend end up with fixing and putting up the bed for my sons. They were so happy and exited. And When ever they asked me who bought the beds?, i told them that "it was a gift from God."

something that i and my family do not expect at all. Thanks God
