To Blog or Not to Blog

Marisa Duma, an Indonensian blogger whose blog I’ve just reviewed as Blogger of the Week made a surprising announcement here:

Fatih. I’ve decided to quit blogging.
Saya ingin fokus ke kehidupan pribadi dan profesional dahulu untuk saat ini, apalagi blog saya juga sudah sepi.

Again, thank you for your support (and traffic!, thanks to this post) and encouragement. Thanks everyone that has commented on this post also.

There are two other Indonesian bloggers who also said that they want quit blogging for various reasons: boring, not getting much attention, many other things to do “off the blog” meaning out of internet world, etc. Interestingly, just like Marisa Duma, the two bloggers are also women.

The question is why quit blogging? And why the three people who want to quit blogging (not to quit smoking) are women? Is it something to do with “womanhood” or just sheer accidental? If it’s a common phenomenon of boredomity and lack of passion then why there’s no such complain from their male counterpart? (to be continued)

to blog or not to blog

dibalik segala alasan seolah ada keterpisahkan hal yang publik dan yang personal. padahal hal personal dan hal yang publik harus berjalan pararel. kedua penting, keduanya pokok.

bahkan saya teringat dalil feminis

personal is political….
