privacy

 writing this blog has made me think about one of the house M.D. episodes i had watched, wherein the patient had been blogging every part of her life (´。＿。｀)

her boyfriend, being the normal person he is, was concerned about their privacy. he said this:

i don't want our lives to be their entertainment!

recently, i experienced this exact same thing with my own blog. she said that it was simply because she valued her personal life, and that it wasn't my fault at all. still, i feel slightly irked by this.

after all, i'm supposed to be able to write anything i want in my blog, even if it concerns touchy subjects or other people's business. especially if it concerns other people's business. 

unfortunately, i'll have to live with this restraint, because i live in a real world with many different people and i have to make compromises to achieve harmony. otherwise i'll end up pissing everyone off ⊙﹏⊙∥

informal emails

for the june holidays, i was assigned to write one informal email as a practice for my english examinations ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ i was quite excited about this as i didn't have much experience writing informal emails (or informal anythings, for that matter).  unfortunately, i received a very low grade for my work, along with negative feedback: did not understand the question's context. informal style lacking. overall logic lacking. my immediate reaction to such a devastating blow to my self-esteem was to blame it on the question topic. i never liked mental health topics, as i found it dastardly boring to write about. plus, i had evidence to back up this claim! previously, i had written a formal email regarding recycling e-waste and received a 23/30. part of that amazing great is undoubtedly attributed to my passionate interest in electronics (and recycling, somewhat). ugh, i guess i'll just hope that the topic in the examinations won't be about mental health. buttt, the topic i...
