WE POST WHAT WE WANT

WHAT WE POST

To those who have generously followed my wall and have spent some of their precious time reading my posts.....you know how I love to write about my family...my kids in particular.

Often times I would write about how proud I am of their talents and their achievements, no matter how minor they may seem.
Sometimes My wife would caution me about how some people in FB might find me too proud and even arrogant about my kids, and my writing....irritating as it talks about my kids endlessly....

In the last few days…I have also posted my comments and my views regarding Philippine Politics….once more, my wife cautioned me about this…that people in FB may find my views so opposed to theirs that they may find it resentful, and once more, arrogant.

I also write about things that other people may find too personal, about my life and my family’s….like problems, illnesses….personal regrets and triumphs.

My answers :
About the politics, they are my views….it is as simple as that….no need to read it and no need to “like” it.

As for writing and posting personal things…..we all do that in FB…just in varying degrees…and in different ways...or perhaps some haven't noticed that they've been doing it….so let me “count the ways”….

Some write about their parties…how drunk they got, with pictures…..some post pictures about eating in a restaurant with family or friends….pictures of trips abroad…pictures of food we just ate or cooked…..pictures of every nook and cranny of their house…..pictures of family, in formal wear, or in bathing suits…..how is this not personal?

"Here in FB, people post what they want...some, like me, post about their children's achievements...some, about their latest triumphs....some about their latest parties,.....some about their latest acquisitions (new car, bags, anything).....and some about their problems.....and then there are those who ask for prayers....I've always found these last one particularly moving, and I do pray for them....

My point is….to each his own...we post what we want.

As for writing about my kids’ achievements….I am a proud parent….as I am sure all parents are…we just have different ways of showing it….I’m sure a lot of the parents have kids with achievements much greater than what my kids have done…but none of them can be prouder of their kids than me…it’s not really the achievements….I am just ecstatic and proud to be their father!!!

WE POST WHAT WE WANT!

God bless all of you who have spent some time reading and liking my posts...some of you even give very generous and encouraging comments....I am humbled!...but expect me to continue writing about my family and my experiences.....this is who I am.

God bless all of us!
