now this is another reason why
Well, this is the first time I've looked in my comment box in ages, and this is the latest:ok, whatever dun sa post mo na bawal mag comment. eeww, anu naman?! pa-importante?! eww. sorry, no offense. pero nakakaines. hellooo. wake up. whatever. ang arte ng post mo. pa importante, promise. ur a good writer though. - Anonymous.
Ok, whatever dun sa comment mo na pinagbawalan ko ang commenting. ewww, anu naman?! eww. sorry, no offense. pero nakakaines. hellooo. wake up. whatever. ang clueless ng comment mo. you're funny though.
Did you not understand what my last post was about? Anonymous commenters like you who just do NOT get it.
Oh look, I disabled commenting again. Meaning, I really don't care what you have to say about what I just wrote. And if you post on a previous entry, it won't be read anyway.
To whoever you are, thank you, you have made me realize that I'm not actually too excited about writing here again as of yet. Lately, this blog has made me more hot-headed than anything else. I'm incapable of writing anything good, or positive, or of any benefit to anyone.
Call it 'maarte', 'paimportante', petty, or anything you want. That's just the way it is.

I haven't written in my blog in ages because there is this ball of hatred in my stomach for the dozens of strangers and anonymous posters who like to think they know what we should do with our lives, and where we're better off, and who claim that celebrities are 'owned' by the public' and therefore deserve all public scrutiny that comes to them. Honey, celebrities are not owned by anyone. People only think they own them. A human being's life is not owned by anyone. You can scrutinize all you want, but if you feel someone else's celebrity gives you license to stop giving them dignity and respect as human beings, if you think its gives you the right to be mean or cruel, then those are your values, not mine. I'm sorry you're so rotten. (On the same note, if you think being under the guise of anonymity also gives you license to be an a**hole, then that's your set of values as well.)
I haven't read anyone's comments (all 70-plus of them) in more than a week, because frankly I don't care to hear what anyone has to say anymore, whether it's something supportive or negative. If that is the picture you can piece together from our blogs, from newspaper articles written by other people, from what you've seen and heard, without actually ever getting to know anyone of us, then so be it. Whether it's a good picture or a bad picture, you don't know what the truth is, because honestly, you don't know jack. So what if you've been reading my blog for 3 years? You read what I feel like writing about, when the urge to write strikes. But you don't know me, you only feel that you do; and you don't know the whole picture, you never did.
I loved sharing my insights with people here for 3 years. I have readers from all over the world, and get more than a thousand hits per day. I write from my heart, and I never publish what doesn't seem sincere or true to me. My blog has been a buffet that you are free to take from, but only if you want to.
I put myself out in the open, and I enable anonymous posting for people who don't have blogger accounts, with the trust that people will be as earnest and upfront with me as I am with them, by at least saying who they are, especially when it comes to negative remarks. But as I have learned, a comment labeled 'anonymous' is 90 percent more likely to be a malicious one. You say you have the right to comment in any way you want here? Yes you do. But I'm human and there is a limit to how much toxicity I can take. This is not fun anymore, and I'm sick of it.
This is my new life. This is my reality now. I don't care to share any bit of it with anyone. I'm here, and we thought this decision out very well. An entire family doesn't just pack up and leave their lives without knowing what they're doing. We followed our inner compasses. Go follow yours.
Oh look, I disabled commenting on this post. If you've got something to say, say it on your own blog.
