Being a Responsible Blogger

As the saying goes, the right of one person is not absolute. All rights are relative because YOUR rights extend only to the point where MY rights begin. This holds true to the Right to Freedom of Speech. Although one is allowed to say, write, or express anything he/she wants, these rights end when you speak ill of other people and when you lie or mislead other people.

So why am I talking about rights? Well let's just say that I realized that as a Blogger, I should uphold certain rules of right conduct. Being a blogger is just like being a journalist. Although the scope and limitations of both differ in certain aspects, it can be held true that one can become a target of harsh criticism when one speaks ill of certain parties or when one publishes false information. This especially holds true to me because I don't hide under a false alias and I blog using my real name. Sure this can be a huge risk as this opens me to several dangers such as identity theft, stalkers, and etc yet this is countered by a positive aspect such as credibility.

On the internet, anyone hides under a false nickname and they can be who ever they want to be. This is why we have so many trolls or internet haters out there. Everyone who logs on to the internet should have their IP's registered so that anyone who is guilty of internet crimes such as hacking, fraud, and plain blatant disregard of morals and ethics on forums can be penalized.

So from now on, I will think of my audience. I will refrain from using foul language and I will handle sensitive topics with care. I will always try to remember that I should be a responsible blogger.

Vanessa Hudgens Humiliated at Teen Choice Awards



I have heard of this story from my friends on Facebook and I've got to say that this was just plainly inappropriate. So if you haven't watched the video above, watch it now. If you don't want to watch it then this is how the story goes:

At the Teen Choice Awards, Dane Cook was on stage and he called out to Vanessa Hudgens to stand up. She did and she was waving her hands to him thinking that he would say something funny. Instead he told her in front of hundreds of people on national television to "Keep her clothes on" and that "phones were meant for calling". I think we all know about her nude pictures that were scattered on the internet. She was sorry for it and we all make stupid mistakes in our lives.

What Dane Cook did wasn't funny at all. It was a direct attack on Vanessa Hudgen's dignity as a human person and it was blatantly disrespectful to her. Dane Cook, there is a reason why people don't always say out loud what's on their minds. They don't want to be an inconsiderate jerk that places people in a difficult situation. I could really empathize with Vanessa Hudgens and if I were in her place I would really be hurt and I would either cry, run out, or kill that Dane Cook right there and then. But I have to give Vanessa props for keeping her cool and for being strong despite that great insult that was slapped on her face unexpectedly.

Vanessa Hudgens didn't come to the Teen Choice Awards to be humiliated or persecuted. If she did she would come to a comedy bar where comedians like Dane Cook would find faults in his audience and say inconsiderate things like that.

There is always the right time and place for everything. In the field of nursing or other professions, you do not blatantly point out a colleague's errors or mistakes in front of the patient/client because this would destroy one's credibility. If you really need to point out a mistake, you should do so in a way that doesn't humiliate your colleauge.

Also in real life you do not just point out things that would embarass a person. For example, I had this customer who was asking for an extra large coffee with 3 creams and 8 sugars. I didn't go berserk and say,"8 sugars?! Are you insane? Do you really want to acquire diabetes?". I didn't give her funny looks and just left her alone.

I have never heard of Dane Cook before but I sure would nominate him for the Biggest Inconsiderate Self-Worshipping Prick Award!

I Get the Last Laugh

Remember my post about me being a victim of psychological harassment? Well turns out I get to have a fairy tale ending after all because those group of Filipinos who have nothing better to do with the remainder of their time but talk and stick their noses to other people's lives and act like they own the whole store laughing their heads of are finally going to be kicked out once they become noisy.

It so happens that the other regular customers in our store are so sick and tired of them being obnoxious and unruly that one of them sent a complaint to the store's head office and we were then told to remove them the premises whenever they become to loud or if anyone complains about them again.

But I'm actually not very happy that I have to wait for them to be noisy just so that we can throw them outside and ban them. I want them to be banned right now because I don't want to take anymore of their harassment. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to give my manager a harassment complaint. That way they get all the more reason to ban them.

I get the last laugh you [***censored***]!!!

I try to be the bigger person and just ignore them but what can I do? They just piss me off!

The Kmart Bluelight Specials

Although this post was indeed sponsored by Kmart, my opinions here are my own because I have personally shopped at Kmart before and I enjoyed the fact that they had a wide selection of items at very reasonable prices! But what's really exciting is that this coming Saturday they are having a sale and they are giving special offers on everything throughout the day! All at Bluelight Special Prices!

If you don't know what Kmart Bluelight specials are then you really are missing out a lot. Just to let you know when Kmart throws a sale, it's not just the measly 5% or 10% discount. When they mean special, they mean 70% off on patio furnitures and an additional 10% discounts on jewelry that already had 70% discount! That's really crazy! You can imagine how extremely happy the customers are when Kmart hosts these Bluelight Specials, it's really awesome!

I'm really setting my eyes on those diamonds because I want to buy them for my mom and those patio furnitures would look fantastic on our new deck! So it's really important to know when Kmart holds these Bluelight Specials because they don't happen everyday plus when there are huge discounts supplies won't last long so it's best if you follow Kmart on Twitter. You'll be well informed so you'd know when to schedule your shopping spree and get your credit card ready.

The Empty Lot

When you look at this picture you can only see an empty lot. It is barren and lifeless. But I see it in a different light, I see it's potential and what it's going to be. This empty lot will soon give way for our new home.

I am glad that finally, some progress has finally happened in the building of our home. The blueprints were finally approved and signed and in two weeks time, construction will begin. I really am excited for the transformations that will happen and I really hope that everything will go as planned so that our house will finally be finished this November.

Home... It's what I call my personal sanctuary. A place where I can forget about everything and just relax.
