Posting something that will accumulate a lot of notes is like thinking of an advertising strategy where you have to consider your targer audience, only it is, in a way, unneccesary here.

I think that it is a little unfair for people to hate those bloggers who use their good looks to appeal to people. Well, of course, I am not defending them because I am one (obviously, I am not one of them), but we usually show people what we can offer, right? Those who think they can write flood us with words that trap us into a dimension of prose and poetry. Singers give us covers of the hardest songs to sing. Artists would offer vexel arts, fan signs, doodles, and artworks that are all orgasmic to the eye. Photographers capture things and places while giving us a whole new take of it in just a shot. We use our potentials for us to be liked by people. Those who are good looking are given that, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using it. Sure, they can attract people, but in the end, it will always be up to us if we will be lulled into liking them just because of the superficial. Don’t hate them as long as they are not abusing what they have. Hate those who see just what’s on the outside because, somehow, people should realize that there is more to life than just that.

Anonymous asked: Hello Sirseaweedbrain/Cheeno. I started reading your blog posts 3days ago (and as of now, I'm already on page155 na :D) and I'm really amazed and inspired by YOU (agad-agad). I strongly agree with the other anons that YOU REALLY ARE AN EPITOME OF A GOOD BLOGGER, because I see that you don't earn followers by doing the "pacute" way, (unlike *insertblogger'surlhere.*) but because you earn them by the intellectual means. And I salute you for that. Hello. So now I can reply. First, thank you for being able to endure my posts up to the 155th page. Thank you if you say that I have inspired you, and I hope that you use that inspiration well by perhaps writing, too. Writing could really be fun because it is one venue (well, for me) where you can be who you are. Writing, you see, is my way of expressing what I feel. Never mind if people don’t get what I mean, as long as I am writing and pouring my emotions into a handful of words. Sometimes, we have to write for people, too, but it is never for notes that will be gone after some time (posts from long ago don’t show notes anymore). Writers write for others to inform, to share, to inspire, or to drive them into action. It has to be that, somewhere there. I am a good blogger, I guess. I would have to claim that. I am good, not famous; we have to be clear with that. I am assuming that I am a good one because that’s what I wanna be. But I am not perfect. Sometimes, I would send anon messages to people I hate, just so I can tell them to be better without revealing myself (but swear, I do that in a good way and this is really rare of me) or so they could notice me (some people ignore me when I send them messages as me, so I had to do it anonymously). I tend to hate people and their blogs, which is not kind. But a lot of people are good bloggers because they express what they want to say but always remember their limitations. People blog peaceful, not minding criticisms that aim not on helping them improve but on destroying them. Good bloggers entertain people who need help or those who need someone to talk to. They don’t use the power of expression and influence to destroy other people. That’s good blogging, isn’t it? Those bloggers who have lots of followers despite how their posts seem to contain nothing but crap on the perspective of other people, leave them alone. We treat Tumblr as a blog site; others treat this as a social network. Let them have fun because that’s what they want to do. Live and let live. Blog and let blog. I salute you, too. Salamat! Mabuhay ka! |
The problem with the world is that, most of the time, power is given to irresponsible people.
Sadly, the issue on Tumblr fame will never cease because those who have it take it to their heads, those who think they have it use it inappropriately, and those who don’t have it work harder and harder just to have it.
OK, reblogging your own posts is fine with me, but I find it weird when people blog about what they currently feel and would reblog the post. Most of us have personal blog, so I guess this is common to everybody. Usually, we would blog about what we feel at the moment, say, when we are excited, thankful, sad, mad, or happy about something. When we post it in the morning and reblog it in the afternoon or when we post it today and reblog it tomorrow, it doesn’t seem authentic anymore because we are not feeling the certain emotion and we are posting it again. For me, it’s weird, but this is just me talking.
Yay. My only Tumblr dream came true. My dream is to see my post on the dashboard reblogged by someone from someone else, not from me. Do you get it? It’s like the cycle has been completed and the post has returned on my dashboard. So my Tumblr life is complete. LOL.
The problem with dealing with “kids” is that they don’t listen. They try too much to act like grownups that they don’t listen anymore. Every time you try to tell them to stop doing this and that, they go berserk because they already assume that their rights are violated when, in fact, you are just giving them some advice. These “kids,” they imitate what grownups do and act like they are mature enough to handle things on their own. That’s the rub.
Contrary to popular belief, fakers and posers are actually loved. They have this capability to shape shift and provide people with what they want. They can pretend and adapt to what the society prefers. They can provide you the characteristics that you are exactly looking for. They can make you love them. They are loved. But then, it is their make-believe characters that are loved, not them. They are loved, but they are not loved for long and for good.
Speak the language of your readers. Otherwise, it would appear as if you’re boasting about what you know that others don’t.
Thank you for judging us on the basis of music preference, but the truth is, we are all so much better than that.
