Songs to Remember: Best of 2014 K-Pop Mega Mash-Up - SHIMMIXES

        I was being sorta lazy today. Alright, very lazy. I say I don't have anything to do, I get bored, I end up refreshing my YouTube and social media feed for new stuff to pop-up, aaand I have yet to do my last 2 (an optional 3rd one) works. I still got time right? That's what they want me to think, f***ing time.

        So while I was creating a new submission (soon to be) for Trove (again), my mom asked me if I could set up that tablet I got for Christmas so she could use it. I haven't turned it on since, well, Christmas, so there were still updates and notifications and stuff still on it. I see an e-mail notification at the top and I remember "Oh yeah, I used my e-mail to set this thing up". So I go check it out and I see "E is now following your blog..." And I'm like "Huh what? A notification about this?" I never receive notifications about these posts ever. I check it out and it's an e-mail notification that somebody followed my blog. Cool, a confirmed soul that is willingly to bear my struggles with me, hehe.

        It read "E is now following your post! Click here to follow E back!" or something like that. At first I thought it was cool, but then I checked out her profile (yes, E is a she), but the avatar site or whatever was like "This user's profile has been deleted" or something like that. So then I'm thinking "Hmmm" and I came up with the thought "Wait, is this Em, my buddy?" They both have the same name, and I remember that I (stupidly) put this site URL on my Facebook profile in the "About" section. I put it there for when people are stalking/interested in me and snoop around much enough to find the link. Yeah, I don't know why either.

        So then I was thinking "Alright, it's just Em, nothing to worry about. I trust her and she's free to read it all if she wants". But then I tried to find out more about E's profile. By the way, E shares the same name as El AND Em. So I go back on to that profile thing and I look at the URL again. It had something like "Chinesepro2015" in it. So then the thought came to my mind "Oh no, what if it's El?" El is part Chinese and so it took me a few seconds to put two and two together and came up with the conclusion, "Awww s***, it must be El. She made the profile, saw everything, then deleted it".

        I commenced freakout for a bit. I was hurriedly erasing the URL from my Facebook. I thought that this would be a thing that only I'd know about, and well, some unfortunate internet strangers who stumble upon this thing, and my cousin a bit (he knows I have a "diary", but not what I write. He barely remembers anything about it though). Now, El knows about it. But, with my IT skills, I made a search on the web for this "E" person, for some reason. I searched up "E is now following your blog" and whadya know. E is actually just a spambot, tricking people into following her, or, it.

        SO, that was a huge relief. Heh, what a coincidence, that E is the same name as El and Em. By the way, it wasn't just "E", if I said the name, it would be, well, the names of both El and Em. Trying to keep people anonymous here. And so, I just went back to what I was doing. I was still in shock for a bit after that, hehe. Very, very scary. Well, at least my secret's safe for now. For about, ehh, 2 more years. Will I post it publicly for everyone to read (publicly in my social circle)? Ehh, I'll decide when the time comes. Still waiting for more plot-twists, heh. Just, I just hope this laziness doesn't hold me back.

        So yeah, I just played League with my buddies all day. Really, really hate nemesis draft. Also, uhh happy Chinese New Year! Or is it "Merry"? Or is it- ah whatever. Year of the Tiger for life, fam. I was born in the year of the tiger. No I don't talk like that, heh. See you tomorrow.
