Super outdated: My 1st ever online war

This happened few weeks ago. As much as I wanted not to put this here in my blog 'cuz I find it shameful and degrading, I finally got the courage to face the harsh truth:

We cannot please everyone as we always wanted it to be!


Last February, I submitted a photo again for Manila Streetstyle's Mystyle section. Hoping that it would be picked by them for the second time around. Then on the 1st week of March, MSS dint fail me 'cuz luckily I got picked again to be featured in their Mystyle section after seeing a post on their Facebook page that I was up on their site. I was so happy when I knew it!!!

*Sorry for the photo quality. These are just screen captures*


The post that I saw on their facebook page


My 2nd-time feature

I keep track on my featured look every now and then. Until, I saw this not-so-good comment from SOMEONE I dint even know saying:


*If you can't read/follow the conversation feel free to visit this page.*

I got furious when I read that girl's comment so in return I threw her hurtful words too. Not to my surprise, days after I replied to her comment she dropped-by again and posted nasty stuffs about me and my look. That was when our "war" began. The 1st ever online war that I've got into!!! *sigh*

I tried to be calm at times but I can't really just sit and read those comments being thrown to me. Moreover, the other people who came across the site chosen their sides that added more heat to our conversation and even to the point it became worst in the history of MSS. 


The long texts she posted....

I consulted a friend and told him everything. He asked me to just remain quiet and let those people speak whatever they wanna say. I followed his advice. Though, there were times that it was really hard for me not reply back to those people throwing hurtful words unto me but I just let them. To lessen the tension that I was feeling at that moment, I dint visit the site for a week.

I really felt sorry for what happened 'cuz I took part for the blame. If only I acted more mature and just accepted the comment of that NO ONE and dint reply back anymore, maybe there's nothing like this that has occurred. *sigh* It took me days or even weeks before every thing sinks in to me and finally have the courage to accept what have happened.

Thanks to those who's at my side in this fight. I do really hope nothing like this will ever happen again. I promise that!

I just check the site now and fortunately the war stops. whew! That was a tough one 'cuz I can't sleep every night thinking of what's happening. 

By this, "DingDong" concluded,


To brighten up my day......
