A few hours ago, after watching the latest episodes of my favorite dramas on streaming, I decided to google up the names of some people that I know (both from the past and present). Some of them have name-sakes from other countries, some have blogs that I don't know about and some of them written in the local news. I was enjoying every minute of it when someone's name popped into my head. I googled her/his name. Memories started to rush in and I realized that I'm still hurt. There was no closure coz the last time I tried to make amends, to help, I was once again tricked and somewhat harrased. So much for being a good girl.
"That person" has a multiply account, too. From the pictures posted in the site, she/he seemed to be happy with her/his life now. I was a little relieved to see that but still scared that once life becomes mean at him/her again, his/her past will haunt him/her again and I'll be blamed. I know what he/she can do but I'm giving him/her the benefit of the doubt.
It's a good thing I don't disclose much of my private information on the internet. I have 5 e-mail accounts that I use for business, friendster, website, facebook, multiply and a whole lot of networking sites. I am THAT paranoid. I use more than 3 passwords (combined uppercase, lowercase and numbers just to be safe) and I never give out my passwords to my friends, close friends... even my sisters.
The internet is very useful but it is scary at the same time. You can become a victim of Identity theft, Phishing, Viruses, Online scam, etc.
Just to be sure, always check your accounts to see if you're putting too much information about yourself. Use multiply emails and passwords and don't trust just anyone. It's better to be safe than sorry. ;)
just another day...
