Anasalwa, mengapa saya memblog?


Mengapa saya memblog?

Saya sudah menyiarkan kembali artikel yang ditulis oleh Pak Adib;
To Blog or Not To Blog dan dikategorikan dalam tajuk; Mengapa saya memblog?

Saya sudah menjemput beberapa blogger untuk menulis artikel dengan tajuk yang sama (Mengapa Saya Memblog?) supaya boleh dikongsi dan dimanafaatkan oleh penghujung-penghujung ke blog ini.

Berikut adalah dari blogger;
Anasalwa yang kini menetap di US. Saya tertarik dengan intergriti dan prinsip pemilikan harta intelek (intellectual property atau IP) yang diamalkan oleh Anasalwa.

Sebagai contoh pada awal 2000an beliau menghantar email kepada saya meminta kebenaran untuk menggunakan gambar yang saya tangkap (gambar asam keping asam gelugor) yang disiarkan di dalam sebuah laman web untuk disiarkan semula di dalam
blognya.

Antara lain juga, di dalam salah
satu postingnya, Anasalwa meminta keizinan terlebih dahulu sebelum mengambil gambar seorang wanita yang duduk kelesuan di sebuah bangku di stesen keretapi tanpa mengetahui sebenarnya wanita tersebut adalah seorang yang cacat pengelihatan.

Anasalwa juga berasal dari Taiping dan kebetulan beliau adalah salah seorang senior saya semasa bersekolah menengah.

From Anasalwa (

As long as I remember, I've always enjoyed writing. I've always carried a spiral note book with me and I would write anything that I intrigued me. I began to have my own blog five years ago when I discovered Type Pad offered a free template and space that had the same concept as writing a journal. It took me a couple of days to consider to publish my first blog to public.

As I began to enjoy writing about my daily experiences as a Malay woman living in US, I find myself getting more cautious to write about my personal issues that I felt I didn't want to share with public, but at the same time I wanted to share my disappointments, my joys and my point of views of issues that I passionate about.

As I was getting comfortable writing my thoughts and actions in my blog, I began to experiment my writings by putting down my thought about religion, culture and negative attitude and habit of the people I know well. What amazed me was the negative reactions (Malay readers) I received were not written in a comment section, but they sent me emails instead. I never responded to any of these emails who called me names because of my life styles they didn't approve.

From the beginning when I decided to write the blog, I was fully aware that I wanted to write for myself and not to please anybody. Some people might like my thought and action, some people might hate me for who I was and who I have become. And it was fine with me and it still is. But at the same time, I am responsible for the actions and the words that I write.

I cannot make assumption about anything or anybody just by reading their blogs, but I cannot stop people from making assumption about me.

I am the product of my environment, my life experiences and the way my parents brought me up have molded and shaped me to become who I am today.

I think all of us have our ways to do a good deeds and spread the kindness and intentions, and blogging is the easiest way to do it.

Penyataan


Blog ini http://manafaatblog.blogspot.com/ lahir setelah dipinta oleh ramai kenalan agar membantu menghasilkan blog pertama mereka. Secara jujur saya hanya mulai memblog dari Jun 2007, kerana itu sudah tentu masih belum layak digelar ”Guru Blog”. Oleh demikian saya memohon agar blogger-blogger di luar sana dapat bersama-sama menyumbangkan satu-dua panduan, nasihat, tips & tricks, teguran dan sebagainya ke blog ini.

Oleh itu tiada tuntutan hak cipta dan milik dalam laman ini. Sebarkan, cut & paste-lah sesuka hati. Molek seandainya dinamakan blog ini sebagai rujukan pada setiap sebaran diambil atau cut & paste.

Semoga kita sama-sama boleh manafaatkan blog masing-masing.

Ikhlas dari saya;
