Only one episode more to go and my irritations towards "Boys Over Flowers" continue to increase. I admit I was excited about it in the beginning (I *almost* raved about it to several friends...)... I tried ignoring anything that didn't look or feel right (mostly on inadequate acting skill) but as the story progressed, I had a change of heart - I still think Jun-pyo was sweet...but everything had become "just another lousy soap" to me. *sigh* I wasn't impressed at all with Gu Hye-seon's acting. I rather watch Barbie Xu or (even better) Inoue Mao. And before anyone come up with "Then why do you watch it if you hate it?"... My answer to that question is... "I watch it so that I can say I don't like it. I think it's unfair to review a series you didn't watch till the end."

I already ordered my copy of the limited edition of "Koi no ABO". But sadly, I'm not too keen of the song. I'm afraid that I'm truly distracted by the thing I [originally] wanted to be distracted from recently. *sigh* But Kurosagi is a good distraction. I watched Eps 2 last night and I begin to think that Kurosaki must be really disgusted seeing the money-slave Shirosagi and Akasagi. I never like the akasagi. Her acting was queer (or was it because of her expressions?) for my taste (watched her in Itazura na Kiss too.. and I wasn't impressed). Made me cringe every time I watch Eps 2.

4 hours more and I'll go for the ultimate driving test. But I want to keep it pessimistic... I'm ready for a second test! I will surely fail for the first one!

Mel-chan is on Twitter!

Do I want my real name googleable?

I'm really no one famous but I always consider revealing your real name or full name online as something big and must be thought of carefully. Maybe you are still young (under 20-ish) and you don't care that people can find you online... but whatever you posted online (blogs, forums etc) could haunt you back when you get into university/college or starts working. Your future employer might do a an online search on you...(that's the thing that bugs me most.)

I searched for some of my old classmates (using their real names) and the search results brought me to their blogs or their profile on popular social sites. Well, at first, I thought: That's how you use the internet to find your old acquaintance... And then I kept thinking how courageous they are for revealing publicly their names. Maybe it's because I'm not outgoing like them. I never intend to reveal my real name when I first started blogging in 2005. But then my blogging objective is only to throw in all my thoughts which nobody wants to hear [Feb 5th's post]...

Well. Putting that aside. To use or not to use? I use my real name in friendster so that old friends can find me. My name is long & unique (Unusual; extraordinary) so I use it as my official e-mail's username so that people would remember my name when I tell them my e-mail address. But do I want to use it in my google and Twitter account?

I really have to think more than twice...and carefully.
