REMEMBER the entry about backstabbing friends? Okay I admit: it was some sort of issue that I never discussed thoroughly, I felt I needed to check my words carefully and the thoughts I share online lest I’d be harming others in unexpected ways. Although I’m not a professional BLOGGER, I consider myself a social networking addict. You know, those internet diary writer types that do mind if you stumble upon their penned jewels sprinkled throughout the entire internet universe. Nyaha. But it’s fun, nonetheless. And is a profitable one as well.

However, spending too much time online, I’ve learned and realized about the downsides of an upload.

What seems like a good idea:

1.) Blogging about your thoughts without editing them. It’s your blog and you can do whatever you want with it.

How it can backfire on you: Destroys relationships. What if your math teacher saw this? Lolz.

2.) Posting photos of you and your bf kissing. You’re in love and you want the whole world to know!

How it can backfire on you: Your private pictures may float around cyberspace anytime soon!

3.) Posting photos of you at parties with your friends drinking or even drunk. These will make for a good laugh afterwards!

How it can backfire on you: They wouldn’t be funny to your prospective employers when you’re job hunting! Better keep such as private!

4.) Posting photos of you in a low-cut top or bikini. Hey, if you’ve got it, then flaunt it, right?

How it can backfire on you: You might be proud of your hot body, but you’re essentially throwing the perverts a bone. Don’t post naughty/revealing pictures if you don’t want to get disrespected by male strangers!

5.) Posting your contact details online and adding contacts you don’t know. Social networking sites are for meeting new people, after all.

HEY, WANNA ADD ME? Here’s my number..

How it can backfire on you: Strangers are the most advantageous people you’ll ever know. Check their profiles first and stop posting provocative snapshots of yourself ‘coz not everyone on the net is out there to make friends!

I turn into the internets for a bajillion of millions of other things, like for stalking Tricia G., getting updates from friends on FB, broadcasting to the world what I ate for breakfast, and playing Cityville! Since I can share about my life here, the interwebs is lovee. But there are downsides to it and this involves thinking twice before you hit the upload. I keep my contacts subtly updated about my life (which isn’t worse than having rusty nails shoved under and through your eyelids, lolz) and I feel so NORMAL about it. BUT THE DANGERS! Good lord!! – are truly EPIC! And quite frankly, when you’re getting your heart ripped open like a grocery store orange it’s probably a good idea you don’t blog about your thoughts about it.

Otherwise stuff like this happens.

That being said, have fun tweaking your online profiles but do know also this: your posts have A LOT to say about the whole of you.

There are potent HARMSS (yes with s’s!). SO if you don’t want to get a broken heart, think twice before you upload it.. <3

and P.S. a self important photo. to add ~life~ to this entry. :}
