Wake Up and Smell The BLOODY Coffee.

"You huffy puffy, loosey-goosey excuse for a whimpering whining wuss of a witness!"

- Prosecutor Franziska von Karma ~ Phoenix Wright: Trials & Tribulations

This one's for those of you who have "private" blogs and "private" Tweets as well as "private" Facebook walls.

I for one, detest such a practice. I myself have none of the above. Why? Simple. Because I don't NEED to have them. Let me begin by asking a very simple question I believe even retards can give a feasible answer to.

Why protect your Tweets, blogs or Facebook walls?

Many of you might answer that you want to keep certain information as private, and not leak them out on the internet. After all, cyberworld is somewhere you're most susceptible to getting your personal details stolen and stuff, right?

That's right. Only if you're the dumbest IDIOT in the world to reveal everything about yourself.

The moment you step into the internet, you should be well aware that you're no longer comfortably sitting in your little room in front of a screen with the air conditioning turned on at full blast anymore. You're in a whole different world. People READ what you type in blogs and tweets. What happens if you make your profiles and stuff "private"? They can't see it! Simple resolution to all your problems, but the most cowardly of all.

My point is, what's the point in creating a blog or having a Facebook page or Twitter when NOBODY can see them except who you deem to be "your friends"? Are you afraid of something? Have you posted something offensive to others? Are you just plain selective? Sensitive, maybe?

I don't protect ANY of my social networking accounts. Why? As I've said before, I don't NEED to. What I type and post is for the world to see, and what they make of it is merely based on their own discretion. You misinterpret it, I'm sorry. It's not ME who has to spell everything out to you. Think one of my Tweets or blog posts is offensive to you? What's wrong? You "terasa" is it? Sincerest apologies, it's my own prerogative. You have no say in whatever I post. Do you have any evidence I'm referring to you? Unless you have any, you'd better not come fuck around with me.

Still not convinced? Answer me this:

What is a blog for?

Why do you Tweet?

Why do you have a Facebook profile?

Answers? Most probably:

To write posts and publish it for others in the cyberworld to read.

To summarize what may be a blog post into 160 characters and spill your emotions at the moment.

To catch up with old friends, make new friends and keep in touch.

Why the hell would you need to protect them? I can only think of 3 reasons:

Your posts/profiles are offensive/contain offensive material.

Your posts/profiles contain personal information.

You're a loner. You keep everything to yourself and YOURSELF only.

The problem isn't with the world "trying to steal your personal information" or "attack you with every post you publish". It's with you. Don't think that for one moment people who post stuff that actually doesn't refer to anyone is meant for you and get all flustered at that person. You're making yourself look like a total IDIOT.

Maybe if you open your eyes and understand the world a little better, you'll still have a chance(if any) of ever being dubbed a sane person. If you can't, kindly remove yourself from the gene pool of this Earth's population for the benefit of mankind. Thank you.

I sat on the second row from the right, somewhere in the middle of D18. The chemistry booklets were handed out slightly before 11.20am. 1...2...3... THREE of them. Oh boy...

As I turned the pages of each and every single booklet, I started to feel faint. This is gonna be a long 3 hours...

Tomorrow? It's math. There's no way to cram anything. I've just gotta be mentally prepared. Yeah, that's what they all say anyways. Math never seemed so hard before in my entire life...

- Prosecutor Godot ~ Phoenix Wright: Trials & Tribulations

Trials began today. ESL isn't counted, but what the heck. It serves as practice for our finals anyway.

3 hours. Listening comprehension, extended response and finally letter writing. I woke up at 6am thinking I was late for a 7am paper today. ESL doesn't begin until 11.30am. FML.

I'm not sure how things will turn out. I could barely listen through that heavy Australian accent of the person speaking and my letter had only 2 main points in it. What's more is that Chemistry is tomorrow. I don't think I'm ready for this. How am I going to pull through 4 more days of this same thing, only...it gets harder day by day?

I hope patience served you well. I shall begin my final presentation.

If you'll now please turn your attention to the MAJOR problem certain posts of his, and I believe there's a certain trademark of his. Slandering another person he dislikes. Yes, I've been a victim of it before. Oh, the days of returning each other's posts with foul intentions to merely hurt the other party. But this is where I should really HOLD IT!

When I think back...was I really that different? Below is the chronology of our feud, A reply after another... 

It started off something like this...

I retaliated with this. He explained to me the next day of the amount of stress that he was put through and apologised. I understood.

All was fine, until a misunderstanding came upon us.

With the use of "you people", and "love-triangles", he was not being very clear, pretty much generalising the act. This made me answer. Still being unclear, his next post was this. That was when I reprised. 

What he described had pretty much fit my situation, and I took it as mine. After all, I was extremely sure of it.

As expected, he replied. Things got really heated up at this point. He continued. I instantly shot back, and continued.

His reply? Something struck me, and I'll reveal what it was later.

But these were the final two posts in that incident. My killing blow, and his apology.

Why did it end so abruptly? It was because I found the hidden motive. I raised an OBJECTION!  He was keen on lashing out on me, I knew it. But I initiated it due to the misunderstanding that his 1st post was meant for me. You see, it was this certain emotion, virus, feeling, whatever you call it. It's called jealousy. It exists in every one of us. We at some point, are jealous of somebody over something. This time, he was jealous of me. Truthfully speaking, I've been jealous of him before. Of all the attention, sometimes. Yes, it's the attention that swarms to his blog, and other undisclosed reasons.

What happens when a conflict arises, and both parties argue? It isn't beneficial in any way. We humans are capable of the most beautiful things in life, and at the same time, the ugliest.

Daniel Jeyachristi Jude-Valentine Anthony, I have presented to you, just a fraction of the evidence I have procured from the scene of the crime, your blog. Although I may have seemed harsh on your blogging methods and how you handle it, it is none of my concern. I am merely stating my opinions.

To see that you would end your blog is a sad thing. Why? I can present some evidence to you, if you would like. Please recall paragraphs 4 and 5 in one of your earlier posts. It is obvious that you love your blog with a passion. You wouldn't give it up for the world. It is your gateway to the outside world, to tell the world your emotions, to vent out all that pent up anger. It is part of your life, and killing this blog means taking a part of your life and throwing it away, just like that.

Honestly, I'm ashamed of you. At the thought of giving your blog...a coda. Sometimes, blogging just isn't a mere tool to convey your message across to the world. It is a place, where great memories are preserved, hopefully for a lifetime. And those memories can never be experienced ever again. They can only be relived through imagination, and of course, articles regarding those memories. And that's what I see your blog as. A place for great memories.

Recall this post if you would. Many other posts bear the same type of emotion. Sometimes if you just push aside all the negative things and whatnot, everything will seem brighter.

I have pretty much said about all there is for me to say. Though, there is still much to see and talk about regarding the blog. However, I shall leave it as that. As I've stated earlier, it is a place full of memories. And memories should NEVER be wiped away.

Great Revival ~ IceSky22AIZ - Act II

"You really ought to bring a supply of cheese to match your vintage whine."

- Miles Edgeworth ~ Phoenix Wright: Justice For All

I begin the presentation of evidence I have discovered on day 1 of my investigation.

To keep things quick and simple, I elaborate on the contents of his blog.

Have you ever heard a kid, let's say 8 year old, for that matter, whine and never stop? You can try to keep them quiet, pacify them, amuse them till the cows come home, you'd still end up with a whiny kid. This pretty much explains it.

Miles Edgeworth, an ace prosecutor in the game Phoenix Wright gave a quote that I couldn't forget that really matches this situation. It's right above. See it? If you don't, I'd have to declare you legally blind.

Yes, posts full of whining. All about self-pity. This is what I'm talking about. It really is pitiful to see these posts on blogs.

Want examples?

One about self-pity, one more here, a whiny post here, and a rant over here.

Yes, see all that now?
Somehow, you've gotta think. There is a reason to everything. Evidence in a crime scene proves everything. If the suspect REALLY is innocent, there has to be evidence that has been overlooked. Everything happens for a reason. I've stated earlier that this blog of his has seen ALOT of action.
And that a certain latest case has driven him to the extent of throwing away one of his life's most valueable possessions: his blog.

Why so? I can provide an answer to that.

This is how it all began, which lead to this.

You can't hide things all the time. Even the most well-spun lies or concealments can be seen through and taken apart. What I'm driving at is the REAL problem at hand.

And this brings me to tomorrow's final presentation.

Will it be too much?

Will I continue with my "senseless" bashing?

Hold your thoughts. Just wait for tomorrow and stop being impatient.

"Sit back, relax, and enjoy the sound of the noose tightening around your own neck."

- Miles Edgeworth ~ Phoenix Wright: Justice For All

It has been a long, 4 month break since my last post. I'd like to apologise for my disappearance during this period. However, I shall not elaborate on this topic at this moment.

My eyes have been opened due to the very fact that this certain friend of mine has been running his blog for the past 3 years, having composed specifically 303 posts as of yesterday, claiming to post about the life of a student, in common time. In exactly 3 days, this blog is due to expire. He is apparently, stuck at a crossroad of whether to bestow upon his blog, a da capo or coda.

This blog of his has seen many many awe-inspiring posts, depressing posts, offensive posts and whatnot. It has seen more action in years than a Protoss Zealot engaged in battle against a swarm of Zerg Zerglings.

I have a suspicion that this certain latest case upon him in fact, has driven him to this extent of contemplation of throwing in the towel. Many pieces of evidence lie in wait, just at the scene of the crime. One thing I must say is...most, if not all, are incriminating.

Don't get me wrong:

I am not here to tell him what to do or what NOT to do, for that matter.

I am not one to judge him right or wrong based on his posts. I solely give my own opinion.

I am unbiased in any way. I tell only the facts. I do not care if it will hurt. Living based on facts is better than deluding one's self into thinking that "everything is fine", and "everything will be alright".

I am only here to offer my thoughts, and hopefully that will help in his decision.

The proceeding 2 posts in the next remaining 2 days shall present the evidence I find, hopefully decisive enough. That is all for now.
