I was tagged again by bernardchan . Actually I really hate a meme, but since this meme has a virus in it, I guess completing it will pass the virus to him. Well, I believe blogging syndrome is really caused by a virus and scientist should really do a proper study into it. There are few symptoms when a blogger is being infected with this virus. Let me start with the Triad of Blogging Syndrome:

1. Living in virtual world
2. Increase BMI
3. Withdrawal symptoms of blogging

Living in virtual world

When I started blogging , all of my real world hobbies has been slow or ultimately stop. I used to paint at least one painting per month but since I started to blog , I only managed to finish one painting this year. Some of my friends who started blogging also have the same trend of not living in real world, some of them only have “virtual girlfriend” and they don’t even realize there are getting older! Instead of going to kedai mamak for social life they wait in front of their PC every night for good opportunity on PayPerPost.

Increase BMI

I really hate this but yes I’ve been putting extra BMI since I left Hospital. Although part of the fat is due to relatively non busy clinic here but MOST are from my blogging life style. How many of u do not chew anything while blogging? I used to jog everyday but since blogging syndrome affects me, I can consider once a week a bonus.

Withdrawal symptoms of blogging

When I went off line due to outstation duty, I feel my life is incomplete. My fingers started to move as if they were typing on keyboard. My mood just went down when not reading a blog or updating my own blog.
