Long post aheadAs all the people who have been following my blog know, I'm not the type who like to blog long posts without pics. And I'm not the type to blog long emo posts regarding my sadness, things that I'm upset about etc.
Not that there's anything wrong with blogging about what one is upset about of course, just that I don't like to share my sadness in this blog. Would rather share it with humans like Xiang, Erinna, Po etc.
This blog is to serve the function of remembering all my happy memories: the reason for all the pics. Sometimes even more pics than words such that you people don't even read what I type anymore. (Don't think I don't know. I know k! Bish! wahaha..)
But today is gonna be an exception. =)
I think the net is a scary place. A fantastic yet a stupid place.
Scary 'cause predators can prowl on innocent, gullible, naive ones who are experiencing the net for the first time. Even though I'm not yet a parent, I worry for my sis. She has an MSN account for goodness sake. Like what the hell.. 10 years old, and already having an MSN account. I had my first MSN account when I was 17 or 18.
But anyhow, fantastic place 'cause it's of great use. Wikipedia anyone? You get what I mean.
At the same time, it's also a damn stupid place.
Why does one have a Friendster account? Or Facebook account? So that one can flaunt to others that one has a gazillion of friends? Or that one has got millions of testimonials? Maybe it's such that one can post up similar pics of a one's pout plus huge round eyes looking into the camera, just at the right angle such that the face would look smaller, eyes bigger.
Oh, I'm guilty of owning both accounts. One in Friendster, and one in Facebook. And I'm even more guilty of posting pics of myself (along with other friends), albeit without the pout + big round eyes.
But as I was thinking about it, I don't need the Friendster account to make new friends (like what some people do, not that it's wrong. Just that I'm not into this kinda friendship.). I have not enough time to make new friends in reality, much less online. I don't write testimonials unless being coerced into writing one.
I do admit Friendster does come in useful when checking out whether the guy of your interest is single or attached so that you know whether to make your move or not, basking in delight when you know that "Oooh, he's single!" or wallowing in self pity when he realize he's attached. Both sexes apply here.
However, I realize that it's also a mean of stalking. Stalk to see how's the person doing. Whether she's attached yet. Or she cut hair short. Has grown fatter/thinner/whatever. Maybe even saving the picture that she posted online such that one can admire it all day long. Deleting the person when you got pissed with her. Adding her back just so that you can stalk her yet again such that the girl's being treated like a fool.
Same thing applies to blogs.
I don't mind people that care about me reading my blog. Friends that I know that are reading my blog, reading my blog. (weird sentence, but do try to make some sense outta it.) What I detest is people that search for my blog on purpose, then lurk around, reading every single thing that I blog about, whatever.
I am not comfortable with that thought you know?
So, I'm gonna change my blog add. Soon.
People who wanna read it, please msn me for the add ya?
I hope my anger subside soon. Such that I would change my mind about changing the blog add. 'cause even though this url is boring, it's kinda hard to get 'cause it's my name. And I adore my name, thus adoring this url. =))
And I hope the person that this post is directed to, knows that this is directed to him, and kindly cease your actions that are so off putting to me.
"I am PRETTY, accept it."
