“Obligingly Annoyed”
May 30, 2012 in HE Said
It’s been a while… You could say that “A” and I were at it again…
The “quiet” time off from this site doesn’t mean there were no disagreements between us. Quite a lot actually (we wouldn’t be “OA” if none…) Other than the fact that we were busy, there was this conscious attempt to be discreet. Despite our clashing characters, we still believe in fitting discretion and restrain. At least I do; as for “A”, she rather feels suppressed.
The apposite reason for her containment as this suitable “OA” post is that she feels such “censorship” to be my doing. “A” as a blogger feels controlled to be overly expressive the way she claims she is. She lays blame on me for inhibiting her from being too outspoken.
I believe in “sensible communication” as much as I similarly expect responsible journalism to take effect when articulating one’s message through any write-up as it’s a one-way assertion. There’s no immediate exchange of thoughts, more so no direct clarification and justification, under the possibility of a misinterpretation. The real problem though is when the initial message sends the wrong signal straight away. And the bigger the problem gets when discriminating conclusion is likewise instantaneously passed on. I’m merely protecting my wife from off-putting criticisms.
Relatively timely is how we could suit the current issue on irresponsible broadcasting of unfounded reports by some media. We can however conclude that indeed information dissemination by controlling entities is such a convincing tool. Let’s face it, a substantial number of heads get swayed by what they believe is the truth considering the news update to have been delivered by some source assumed to be credible. Consequently, a great number from these heads don’t really ponder on adjoining specifics. Finding out for themselves by looking at it from a broader perspective isn’t really their concern (or simply put: they don’t seem to have the capacity for it) as that is instead their more weighty basis in having faith in their source in the first place. They tend to be subjective.
Whatever happened to “the two sides of the story” outlook is not even a “guess as good as yours” as it’s hardly ever deemed as consideration-worthy. As it appears err “I guess”, benefit of the doubt is in the same way disregarded. Within the blogosphere alone, among a considerable number, “MY story” is rather a prevalent occurrence that every opinionated blogger cynically stands for. Oops! Let me guess, opposing comments aren’t really welcomed; it’s simply “published” to substantiate “traffic” if not deleted. Speaking of traffic, quite a lot also are those who simply rely on riding-on into the bandwagon without the clear advantage of a better perspective.
Before you see this differently, what is cited is how “A” eagerly wants to speak her heart out in relation to contradicting these insular subjects – “THEIR stories” I guess…
Not to totally stop “A”, I just remind her not to indulge with the same baseless reasoning…
We’re opposites alright… but “A” intolerantly listens…

Waaaa it was late when I realized that this is your hubby's writing. Proficient if I may say. I wish I can also get hubby to contribute to my blogs other than my food blog. LOL Good job sir Omeng! This is one post that I read from beginning to end–too curious to miss what's on your mind! LOL
I love the title of your post “Obligingly Annoyed”! While you are completely opposites, it’s good to know that you always manage to find a middle ground, that is, you agree to disagree.
unfortunately, irresponsible journalism is rampant nowadays. broadcasters can turn fiction into fact and vice versa because they have vested interests.
This is the very first time that I read your writing and let me say you two are really different. But even if you have different views, you stay sweet with each other.
Thank you : )
WAAHH.. same here. I was thinking who is “A”. Then it hit me when he said “OA”… {slaps forehead} Omeng and Ane!!! Kaloka!
Hahaha Peachy, natawa kami reaction mo; may action pa talaga… at inact-out ko ha… : )
sabi ko na nga ba, “A” is for ane ehehe. kasi the person who is writing is referring to a she:D ang galing naman, I can’t force the bf to write his thoughts lol
and my comment just went to spam LOL
Thumbs up to your blog theme. I wish I could also put one like this.
Opposite but getting along well together despite differences.
Why ‘nut’? You can even be more bold about it and aptly entitle it “Nuts and Bolts” : )
The first time I visited this blog. Understanding and respecting each other through listening is what makes a relationship to get along well together despite differences.
Thank you for visiting. We hope it won’t be your last… : )
What a great tandem! OA… it’s a good thing to read thoughts on a man’s perspective.
Thank you Ms. Badet. Hahaha you made it sound like ‘us’ men are not sensitive enough… : )
You have a unique blog concept. It’s always good to know the two sides of each issue.
