You know when it comes to blogging....you start with your friend's blog then one day decide to check out this person's blog who has left an interesting comment in your friend's blog. And that person then becomes your friend....and then one day decide to check out another person in your original as well as new friend's blog....and it goes on and on and on?
Well....that happened today...to me. And the post I found on the new peron's blog was a sad one. A one recalling how her son died.
I cried though I did not know this person. I cried becuase she was a mother. I cried becuase she was a friend of my friend.
And I realised that entries like this...real life sad stories...profound experiences that a person has gone through...those kind of heartfelt entries warm my heart and make me attached to this person.
I am a sucker for sad stories....or maybe it is becuase sad stories connect to the soul.
I am a sucker for soul wrenching stories - real or otherwise, death or love.
What about you? What makes you add that new person into your blogroll or your blog reader?

I use MSN space for a long time, and I change a lot of blogs in this period of time, but still, I prefer MSN space.
Yes, blogging use to be an interesting thing but through the time goes by, we tend to not blog every thing we saw, we heard from others. Now, I only upload some photos I took, I dont want to leave any message of them, I dont want to explain them. Once upon a time, I was ambious to blog mountain of words in my blog, and I love to see the comments from people no matter they are some of my friends or just some one pass by.
I also made some friends through blog because we have same opinion or same hobby. They call 2006 is "BLOG YEAR", it's true. I blogged a lot in 2005 to 2007, but not now.
Have a nice day!

For me I generally use blogs as a source of news for movie releases and insider knowledge. So I tend to add those blogs to my reader which provide the latest information.
But those blogs which I enjoy for a social reason, such as useful advice for self development or relate touching stories get book marked in with my favourite sites so that when I have a spare few minutes I can go and check them out.
