‘Unbloggable’ is a term I heard the other night while I was getting drunk over San Mig Light. It refers to a topic that can not be/ should not be “blogged about.” For instance, if you were having drinks with friends and someone went totally crazy while drunk and embarrassed himself/herself - that’s probably unbloggable. We probably shouldn’t blog about:

  • Good friends who embarrass themselves unintentionally
  • Topics or stories that our friends requested that we not blog about
  • A really big secret about a very good friend

Why are these unbloggable? Well, if you want to stay friends with your buddies, you better not blog about ‘em. They are going to be pretty mad if you did.

For instance, I encountered a lot of ‘unbloggable’ stories in my last drinking session. I can blog about the term ‘unbloggable’ but I can’t blog about anything else - like hamsters or such. Somebody would kick me in the butt.

Hehe. This all reminds me of an old phrase we used to say back in College:

“Are you saying something you’re not supposed to say but said it anyway?”

We used the phrase when we discovered a friend dating someone he’s not supposed to date (or for some reason or another, he wants to keep the date secret). We didn’t say anything, but one would know from our grins and facial expressions that something was up. Ever gone through something like that?

So, what other topics should be unbloggable?

Unbloggable? Kung sino ang Tsikot babe! Teeheee…

@Jedi: I wonder who that was…
@Aileen: Oh? The tsikot girl was with us? >:)

there’s no such thing as ‘unbloggable’. besides, you can always put your posts in protected mode. well, in the case of those character-threatening posts, it’s a different scenario. however, you can also post something in an implicit way. for instance, i create blind items. hahaha!

your blog will experience heavy traffic due to that specific post. try it. :P

Dibah andun siya… tanung nga natin kay Jedi… :p

@Nightfox: You mean create blind items like talking about ‘unbloggables’? Bwahahaha
@Aileen: The TSIKOT girl was with us that night?!!! REALLY?! Hehe
