Omg yay double button (black) trim military jacket!

Outfit of the day: Zipia acidy washy looking dress and Zipia boots (scrunched). I gave the dress another go – IT STOPPED SHEDDING FLUFF! But then I was using different bags today to tell.  But it should be fine now. The Zipia boots however (the suede ones) SHED COLOUR. Uhm, my shins are a bit black where I scrunched them, lol. It should be alright. I am still irked by the shoe factory smell of the boots, and the heel clacks when you walk. You get used to it. I also recommend either inserting an insole or wearing thicker than usual socks – the front part of the boot is a bit thin, so you will be slapping your foot as you walk.

Today the day started off semi-early but it began with me wandering around the city aimlessly before settling for a Gloria Jean’s Iced Mocha. It was alright, but it wasn’t as nice as the first one I ever had (which was only a few weeks ago). I then had to throw it out because while I was walking in the city I walked past someone who was coughing very dangerously – I couldn’t risk drinking possibly contamined iced mocha – into the bin it went. Speaking of which, I hate it when people cough when they walk past you. It’s really gross because it’s spreading germs around and all!

Ice mocha – no, I wasn’t drinking it at 6am in the morning or 8pm at night… polaroid makes lighting funny. And a really sketchy perspective shot on the right. It seriously looked like a render and not a photograph to me.

Both taken at World Square. The large screen is a good idea. A lot of people just started sitting on the benches watching the screen, so I think it’d work for more public spaces in Sydney.

Then I saw the lovelies \o/ So it was Pepper Lunch and giving Ramille their Pig Rabbit time. :3

Pepper Lunch isn’t that bad – it’s just not vegetarian friendly. I ordered a double chicken steak, and it wasn’t bad. The chicken tasted alright  and there was enough on my plate to keep me full. I think though the whole idea of “mix your own food” is a bit iffy since you’re paying not-so-cheap prices for it, but I think it is a fresh concept and it wasn’t badly priced or anything. I used to have this really bad impression of the place (mostly because it looked small from the outside, and you lined up right at the door), but it’s actually pretty big and it’s not bad. I’d probably go back again, actually – it wasn’t too shabby.

Secret stall is evil! I bought my military jacket from it! It looked so awesome that I had to buy it (it’s the same one that I saw the other day >_< Luckily nobody bought it! It’s the last one – they’re done with those jackets!). It looked so awesome buttoned up and I really liked the cut at the bottom which makes it more unique than your normal boxy jacket.

Now, my problem is that it’s a bit tight, and it’s because of the lining inside. I’m gonna sound a bit like Hulk here, but I actually already ripped a bit a lot of the lining inside because I tried to hug myself (ie. cross my arms in front of myself)/ stretch my arms. It’s made of a polyester that doesn’t usually come with a lining (nor does it need one), but it came with a lining. Question – should I just remove the lining? If I do that, the jacket lining won’t rip, and it’ll probably be more comfortable to wear. However on the other hand, the jacket loses a lot of its insulation. I’ll probably patch up the lining (not that anyone will see it cuz it’s on the inside when you wear it anyway) late at night (I wasn’t supposed to buy a jacket!). I’ll take a peek inside through the rip to see how the sleeves and all are attached. If it’s attached relatively well I might consider removing the lining. What do you guys think? It ultimately depends on how the jacket itself is made, huh?

Considering I paid quite a bit for it, I’d be sad to see it go to waste because it’s a bit tight. I have a feeling it’s just got to do with the fact that the lining itself not being well sewn or good quality. EDIT/ It’s probably the quality. I realised that nothing on the jacket has been overlocked, which is REALLY REALLY ODD. Once I do my own work to it (note: I do not sew, I embroid things to the point it’s impossible for them to rip), I think it should be alright. I can’t wear anything thick under it though. It’ll just have to be an autumn jacket (a pretty warm one, though).

I’m so excited! It’s gonna look so awesome with boots. Plus it’s grey in colour and not the usual black/ blue you usually see *giddy* Though the ones that 2PM wore for the Again and Again performance on the SBS Gayo 2009 (red ones) looked really awesome. Partly due to the fact that it was on Khun’s body – *whistles*.

But anyway, regardless of ripped lining, I’m going to reinforce the lining and reinforce all the buttons. I really like the buttons (that was the other factor apart from the colour and the collar) and I’d go nuts if I lost any of them.

EDIT/ I think I might wear the jacket unbuttoned. When I button I cannot lift arms ._. I think the stitching wasn’t that great to begin with – I can tell via the ends of the sleeves. Le sigh – but still, pretty is pretty. I have a feeling a someone tried this jacket on before me. Cuz I have very small hands and wrists – it wouldn’t have been me wrecking the sleeve ends. But never fear, it was worth it! Definitely D:

Kimmidoll bag holder is really prettysauce. I got “Hasumi”, the graceful one.

I love using Super Macro. It looks so nice.

I wanted “Yoshi” one, but then it was a bit too common (a lot of them sold quickly). It had pink though! But meh, blue. This one has awesome flowers on it though. These remind me of the Konad template I got Speaking of which, my “Nails of the week” are chipping off – fast. I applied a top coat last night because I realised that the purple lace stamp was fading (for good reason – that is, because it’s fading from my two index fingernails and because I didn’t use two top coats). I’m wondering if I should just redo them for tomorrow. I’ll see how things turn out. I might be too lazy to do so. Also if I do them, I’d want them to look like this bag holder. Hmmm. That sounds a bit too advanced for me. I might sew my jacket tonight instead. That should keep me busy for a good 30 minutes or so.

These things are amazing. No matter how much force you apply with your hands to tug this thing, it won’t budge.

I’m sure these bag holders can hold almost everything and anything. I bet the only time when one of these things fail is when the table collapses, not because the bag holder itself is unstable. It’s a relatively light thing to carry, too, and considering it’s so small, it’s so nifty! I bet it has to do with the dimensions, though. I’m sure all bag holders have the same circle dimensions and somehow it’s like the awesome ratio for defying gravity. And if you don’t need this to hold your bag, it’s a fun “toy” – I just tug on it randomly every now and then.

I can get over 100 points in two stages of basketball! I figured out the secret. All I had to do was take a step back. I throw the ball way too high and way too hard that it always bounces off the rim. NEXT TIME I BETTER GET TO STAGE 3! Still nowhere as good (I got like, 107 for 2 stages), but it’s okay! I can improve!

I also broke my Prize Paradise curse – though it wasn’t just a dollar (I put in 2 – don’t forget the numerous other things when I tried and failed to get stuff), I won my first ever toy at Prize Paradise. It’s a grumpy cat. But I liked it because it was pink and grey. Only it’s just very grumpy.

It looked cute when I saw it in the machine. Probably because it was face down. Hmmm. It has an evil crooked smirk face. But oh well, for $2, meh, it’s okay.

Samsung Jet Icon S8300 also has good sound quality - I’ve received a few calls and the sound quality is not bad. I realised it’s only bad when you call another Samsung phone which has bad sound quality So yeah, I’m pretty happy with this one. I think the battery life is alright, too, and will last you about 10 days on a full battery. Not bad, not bad.

I also realised that if I rotated my phone 90 degrees, I get a QWERTY keyboard when I’m typing an SMS – lols. Took me long enough to figure that one out! But it’s all good. I’ll have to get used to it, though. I can’t seem to type fast enough. But I’m faster using this one than one of those normal keypad phones!

To Ramille – hope you guys are enjoying the Backstreet Boys concert! It’s about 7:49pm as I’m typing this sentence, so the concert would have started in its beginning stages

Sigh.

Yesterday could have been a wonderful day, but I don’t know any more. I’m hoping things are okay today and that tomorrow will be an even better day :\ If not I’ll find myself doing something else that I really hate… OTLL

Nichkhun speaks in Mandarin to a crazy woman His Mandarin is really good! Hahaha – cute XD

Up to episode 32 of Heaven Sword/ Dragon Sabre. GUHHHHH.

-*-*-*-

Lately I’ve gotten a bunch of searches which I really don’t understand. Why would you google these search terms, instead of reading the FAQ? I don’t know about other people, but even when I first join a forum, I read the Terms and Conditions, FAQ and everything before I even join – not to even mention for a SHOPPING website where money is involved.

Search: does zipia accept western union

I’m going to be a mean cookie here, but there are CLEARLY methods of payment written in their Customer Service section. You should read them thoroughly. In fact with the new website, all you had to do was just look at the top bar: “HOW TO PAY: DEPOSIT BANK PAYPAL”. Click that link and you’ll end up with a menu, and click #8 “How to pay”.

Zipia does NOT accept Western Union.

Deposit refers to money already put into your zipia account (via bank or PayPal). The site says you can’t make a payment by credit card, but they mean that they don’t accept credit card alone – you can however pay via credit card through PayPal.  

In fact, you should be pleased that Western Union is not accepted. Most dodgy sellers accept WU and there’s zero sense of security or guarantee you can get your money back if you’re involved in a fraudulent case. Not to mention WU charges exhorbitant fees.

But at the end of the day, READ THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PAGE, PLEASE.

Apart from being lazy not reading the Customer Service page, I’m just saying you should read it yourself and make sure you understand the website fully before throwing a minimum of $300USD around in cyberspace. I just don’t understand why you would do something like that. Not to mention, if  there was a site looking exactly like Zipia with a very similar address but accepting WU, and you happened to order from there and get scammed – it’s your loss. It’s as simple as that.

-*-*-*-

Search: zipia.net tutorial

I’m also going to be mean here, but if you can’t navigate the website intuitively, then you’re probably a bit too young to order a $300USD minimum wholesale order. ;x

The process is relatively simple: make an account, log in, see an item? Click the “ADD TO CART” button and choose your size and colour in the pop up menu. Click “ADD” and the pop up will refresh. It is added to your cart.

Do this (and check your cart to see how much you’ve spent and to remove items) until you’ve finished your order.

Simply confirm the order, type in your address details. “CONSIGNEE NAME” or whatever, just write your full name that appears on your I.D in case if you need to collect it from your Post Office and produce I.D.

Choose your method of payment.

TO PAY VIA PAYPAL

If you choose to pay with PayPal, they give you their email address.

Log in to PayPal. Click the “Send money” tab. There will be a form.

Copy and paste PayPal’s email to the “RECIPIENT” and type in your total (of your clothes AND shipping). Select USD as your currency. Select “GOODS” as your reason for sending money. In the message topic line, copy and paste your order number. In the message box, include your Zipia log in email, your full name, order number (and date of order, if you’re very particular) and your delivery address.

Zipia actually asks you to include this information into the PayPal message – this is probably just to confirm that they will make sure the right person has paid for their respective order.

Click send money – (the page will refresh) – then you may need to select a bank account, credit card or your PayPal account balance to pay – so select your preferred funding source. Click “PAY” or whatever the button says, and you get a confirmation email from PayPal. Done. You don’t need to do anything else.

Log into Zipia maybe after a few hours to check if your order has been paid (you click on deposit and it should be updated). If you don’t see your status being updated within 24 hours, create a topic in the Q&A section where you get to display private messages with Zipia customer service. Write your Paypal transaction number (can be found on the email and in PayPal) and you will get a response soon.

TO PAY VIA BANK DEPOSIT

If you choose to pay with Bank Deposit, there are also bank deposit details. Unlike PayPal, you have to provide the bank transaction details under a special section in your My Account section named something like “Payment notice” to notify Zipia you’ve paid them. I’ve never used this method of payment before, so you might want to search the Internet or scrutinise Zipia’s Customer Service section more carefully.

Search: $100 australian dollars in korea

…. is about 100 000 Won. That looks like a lot of zeros. Don’t ask me what you can buy with that. I’ll just answer 4 boxes of Yufit masks, and that’s not too terribly helpful.

Actually, check out Gmarket. Their prices can actually display retail prices in Korea, so that’ll definitely give you a very good idea of how much things go for retail in Korea.

-*-*-*-

Search: can i pay using credit card thought paypal

Yes, you definitely can. You can pay using debit card as well.

-*-*-*-

Search: so ji sub tall?

182cm tall?

-*-*-*-

Search: wide face bad thing?

Nope, it’s not a bad thing. But most people will associate wideness with fatness. Not to mention most models have got heart shaped or oval shaped faces, so we all want slim looking faces. If you ask me, as long as you’re in proportion and you still look pleasant, who really cares about having a wide face or not? Oval shaped faces aren’t the only nice looking faces.

-*-*-*-

Search: gmarket time for order to arrive singapore

This depends if you bought from Gmarket Global (Korea) or Gmarket Singapore.

Gmarket generally uses express mail – I don’t know about Singapore, but if you order within Singapore, you should get it in 5 days ish? For it to be shipped from Korea (express) it would probably take the quickest about 5 working days? It depends on when the item gets to the warehouse and whether or not you’ve paid any excess shipping if they underestimated your shipping costs.

So check if you owe Gmarket money (more than 3000 Won) for shipping – if you do, they won’t send it to you until you pay!

Blog Stats hits (on right menu)

I decided to add the blog stats X hits widget to the side. I was browsing through my old entries and realised that about 20 days ago (wait is that right?) I said I got to 1000 hits. I just realised that in about 25 days more, I received an extra 1200 hits somehow. And no, wordpress does not count my hits. How many of those hits are unique? I have no idea, but that’s a hell of a lot of hits, considering about 5/7 days this past week I’ve been getting close to 90 hits each day. Crazy. It’s because of the BOF and YB posts D:

Just DROP it.

… I don’t mean subjects, by the way. Of the educational course kind.

So stalker who I ignored sent me a message asking if anything was wrong since I didn’t reply his two messages.

I replied honestly that I have been busy over the weekend with design and I have a whole bunch of other crap to attend to.

Seriously, I give him props for confronting me like that (because it’s something I admire and something I’d do if I were in his situation), but sometimes, just drop it. I’m not his bestie, and I really DO have a lot of things happening. I have a lot of stuff due in, and I don’t particularly live in the best work environment. There are always stupid arguments going on, me getting called, and then having me also being pulled into the argument unnecessarily and I lose my cool.

I don’t have the time to just mess around. If you can do it yourself, then do it yourself. I’m not here to do something for you that you can do yourself. YOU have time, I don’t. If it takes you slower/ longer than if it does for me, I don’t care – you have the time, USE IT.

This is why at the computer labs, I do not like opening the door for people. Half of them don’t even say thank you, and barge in like it’s their right to gain access into the labs.

No, there’s a swipe card system for a reason – so that ONLY people with a valid student card can get in. There are two doors – if this door doesn’t work, walk 20m and try the other one. Don’t be so lazy and knock hoping someone has to move just to let you in, that’s not how it’s supposed to work. What’s more, the swipe card system DOES work – some people swipe too fast or too slow – how about instead of madly swiping, slow down the pace and see if it lets you in before you start to knock, eh? It’s just common sense – why some people inconvenience others for the sake of their own convenience is truly amazing.

Oh, and today – there’s this girl in my class who really pissed me off.

I was sitting on a table (because tables are totally meant to be for sitting on) swinging my legs. Now, in this scenario (as it has happened before), a guy stopped and I stopped swinging to let him pass – I mean, it’s natural, isn’t it? We both just smiled it off – it’s not a big deal.

This girl BOMBS OUT OF NOWHERE and barges through. Of course I was like “omg I’m so sorry” (and said it very sincerely) since I kicked her, because I honestly didn’t see her coming at all. She didn’t say anything like “it’s okay” and just ignored me. Okay, you can ignore if you want, after all I did kick you. It’s a fact.

I was still sitting at the table (I’m first there, first come first served right?) and she sits on a chair nearby and she sits cross legged (one leg over the other) very very close to where my feet are.

And she keeps kicking my feet/ shoes every time she switches a leg – without saying sorry.

FFS, you can move your chair back a little you know? That way you can change your legs, I can swing mine, and you don’t have to keep on freaking kicking my shoes and not apologise. I was there FIRST! You cannot seriously expect me to move just because you chose to sit that close right? Even when I don’t swing my legs you kick me. WTF.

Please do not dirty my shoes with your gross bare feet.

I ended up kicking her a few times since I was absent mindedly swinging my legs again and these few times, I didn’t bother apologising.

Look, if I wanted to screw up your feet, all I have to do is just stomp on them. I don’t understand why people take these stupid risks – I have covered shoes!

Seriously, ladies and gentlemen, some people are just plain rude and have no concept of personal space. They invade other people’s spaces just for their own convenience and all I can say is that those kinds of people are selfish and self centred, and even moreso lazy. If she had just moved her chair back just maybe 15cm, a lot of this could have been avoided!

But nah, 15cm is too much effort.

Stalker. REALLY STALKER.

Firstly – HOLY SHIZZ I’ve been away for some time.

Admittedly, I’ve been very lazy. With everything. I’ll get there- eventually.

THIS STALKER DUDE REALLY PISSES ME OFF. (the one who went away – he came back, not the one who got crossed off the list)

- Sends a message to me at 12:30am – do you have ANY idea how annoyed I was?
I mean okay, it’s fine if I’m sleeping and the phone wakes me up, but I DO HAPPEN TO LIVE WITH MY PARENTS?
Seriously, if that message woke up my parents I would have screamed so loudly and trash my bedroom.
DO NOT SEND RANDOM SMSES JUST ASKING YO WASSUP I AM BORED AND AWAKE.

Do you have any common sense? Before you hit send, wouldn’t you think “oh shit, maybe, just maybe she is ASLEEP?”"

I HATE INCONSIDERATE PEOPLE.

- I get another one today. After a miserable day of window shopping and the worst Green tea with herbal jelly from Easyway, I sat down to start doing some hardcore design and my phone goes off. I ignored it for about 20 minutes and then the curiosity got the better of me (it could be important) and NO, MORE WASTE OF MY TIME!

Dude, I don’t care if you were overhearing a conversation on girls talking about their sexual encounters with their boyfriends, because IT IS NORMAL FOR GIRLS IN THIS AGE TO HAVE THEM WITH THEIR BOYFRIENDS.

Is it shameful talking about it in public? Well yes, but isn’t it shameful for you to spread it around more and even eavesdrop on it yourself?

Don’t point your finger and call someone shameless when you’re doing something just as bad. I am NOT interested in their sexual encounters and it seems like YOU are because you bothered eavesdropping. Found it disgusting? THEN DON’T SHARE IT. Most likely I am not interested and will find it disgusting you are bringing up a topic like that to me.

I am not interested in anything else apart from keeping myself SANE. Please don’t even THINK that I’d waste 25c to send you back a message and continue a useless conversation like that. I’m much much better than that, and I have much much better worthwhile things to do.

“Stalker” 2 – or 3. Or 4.

Okay so I’ve had my share of stalkers in my life so far. To be fair I’ve only had one REAL stalker but even so it was the most mildest type of stalker it’s just an exaggeration. I’m using the word stalker as a negative word for someone who constantly annoys me by asking questions and random stuff.

So the stalker I talked about a few days ago has died away and now I’ve gotten another rise of stalker taste.

Erm. I’m not sure if I should put this on private or not. But I’ll be as subtle as possible – every girl has a “list” – I’ve crossed a name off it.

No, I don’t mean like L in Death Note, writing stuff about people and having them die a horrible death. I mean a list of well yeah whatever. I’ve crossed a name off it.

HOW FREAKING ANNOYING. Sorry, I just don’t really like people calling me all the time :\ It’s not that I don’t like my ring tone or anything, I just DO NOT LIKE IT. I have lots of things to do! Leave an email as detailed as possible, I’ll answer everything. Heck, I don’t even like it when people ask me stuff on msn - esp when one question leads to another and another and another…

DO I LOOK LIKE I HAVE A LOT OF TIME?

Perhaps, because I’m very good at procrastinating, but I don’t.

Sorry, but I’d rather harvest purple radishes on Country Story @ Facebook and read Fmylife.com, or fangirl over TOP on Youtube than to answer petty questions that Google himself can answer. And Google is a very sexy man. Or woman.

Yeah I sound very mean and have no compassion whatsoever, but after a lifetime of being asked USELESS questions, JFGI.

</rant>

I’ll update 3 things later – probably tomorrow night. I have to do a bunch of things for design.

Random

This doesn’t belong to ” 3 things” – more like Rapidfire Vomit.

01/ There is this person who REALLY ANNOYS ME.
Nice person and all, but STOP ASKING ME CREEPY QUESTIONS. I don’t want to go out of my way just to discuss something we may or may not be working on – if you want to do group work, cut down the work by just shooting an EMAIL but since you’re not coordinating anyway, who cares?!?!?! ARGH ARHG ARHG ARGH

02/ When in frustration, Gu Jun Pyo/ Lee Min Ho says…

” AISHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

03/ I hate how Geum Jan Di is so damn HOBO LIKE.
I was discussing with a friend the other day and he was pointing out how she had absolutely zero appeal – and I would have to agree. She has NO APPEAL. So hobo like >.< I’m sure she really wasn’t meant to be THAT bad!

04/ Random excuses for Lee Min Ho to be topless on screen.
Not really complaining. But it’s a bit embarassing in a computer room.
Nuff said.

05/ When wearing a motorbike helmet, Ji Hoo holds the ear piece part of the phone on the OUTSIDE of the helmet.
I wonder how he’s meant to hear? Lololololololol.

06/ Korea’s that advanced?
They answer the phone on the plane in midflight >.>

07/ Poor subtitles.
“If she knew her place we wouldn’t have to go to suck lengths.”

That’s exactly how the subtitles were.

I think Imma end this post right now D:

It’s not all about shiny and pretty things in life.

I would like to mention that although just judging from my posts I seem possibly snobbish, difficult and extremely superficial, there are times when I’m not really all surface. I do have a  third dimension.

I am privileged in comparison to many other people in life. I make stupid mistakes. I don’t understand my method of choice making.

I simply do not understand.

How much are relationships and memories really worth? Why do some people take these things for granted? Are the good times really that worthless? Why and how can people be so cruel? What have I ever done to you? And think about it, what have you done for me?

These are questions that keep on spinning around. It’s not leaving a good feeling at all.

I’m very tired physically and mentally. I haven’t properly vented out my stress for several months. Even though work has only started, I need a little time for a small break.

Just a little break, so I can get through the next day and day after.

People are gutless these days

I was watching The 7PM Project one night (I forgot which), and there were claims that the children these days have gone all soft, with soft grounded playgrounds and all sorts of measures to keep children safe and unhurt in the slightest way. Are the children of the future going to be a bunch of bubble babies, scared of pain, soft at heart?

Today’s discussion isn’t entirely about that, but it’s linked – consider this: there is no doubt that in our current state, capitalism is on an all time high, the economy isn’t going all too well, and there is a high level of competition for the same job across a wide range of people. If we consider our era to surpass “modern”, certainly after ”postmodern”, then what is it right now? Some have called it “contemporary” in the case of architecture, however I’m not too sure if it’d be the best idea to use an architectural expression to name the current world state.

Anyway, given that there is a high level of fist fighting (mentally and according to recent studies, less so physically due to “softness”), I’ll assume that the people of our generation are going to be described as somewhat soft in the sense that they are scared of pain and being hurt physically (and of course, mentally, if they don’t get their way) but also mentally strong in the respect that they need to have the capacity to compete against others.

Having said that, are people gutless these days?

There seems to be a growing trend no doubt with the use of technology making the transmission of information so easy. You don’t need to speak face to face, and you can say pretty much anything what you like, whenever you like, to whoever you like – or at least, this is the general idea of the Internet. Of course, in reality, the Internet does not grant you immediate permission to throw slander around at various people you know in real life (or not). It all boils down to dirty tactics – what you say in cyberspace, can easily and will easily have as much effect as you say in real life. Sounds really macho, right? Like, you can be a superhero online, and it’s equally as believable in real person. The catch is, most of the time what you say online are things you’ll never say speak in words in real life.

Gutless, much?

People these days seem to still be so frustrated and full of angst for wanting to do certain things – normal things, like getting back at someone. Revenge. Spreading rumours. Hoping to outcast someone you don’t like. All of these are normal and legitimate – they have been around for centuries. But you know, back then when the Yuwen family warned the Yang emperor that the Li family (aka Tang) were getting a little close to comfort, they didn’t use the Internet. They did it in person, and it wasn’t exactly a mystery to the Lis.

I know what I’m saying is basically futile because it will always be a trend when everyone is behind their computer screens, protected in their own little “playground”, but if you have anything negative to say about something (that’s not done in tasteless humour, and is blatantly a lie – and a lie only) then my advice is that you should tell it to the person to their face.

I don’t really understand the use of saying bad things about someone behind their back to other people in the hopes of getting other people to dislike them. I mean, of course, people can say slack things about others, but if it’s done in good humour and there’s a very obvious hint of sarcasm to it, so be it. But making stupid lies, calling people names and doing other cowardly acts just isn’t cool.

I have probably mentioned it somewhere, but I very much rather prefer to say what I think about someone to their face. I try my best to obviously do it so that the comfort zones are as ideal as possible, however if the person really pushes it, I don’t really care if they feel embarassed say in front of their friends.

I tried my hardest to find the bit where Yankumi does it best, but I couldn’t find it. I was rewatching Gokusen and in Episode 5 she has a heart to heart talk with her grandfather. The conversation goes along the lines like this:

In the old days, one on ten meant one person defeating ten people, didn’t it? But kids nowadays are different. A large group of them gang up on one person, and they don’t think it’s shameful or anything.

(Credits to SARS translation)

As the quote suggests, if you have beef with someone, have beef with someone. Don’t include other people and whisper nasty things behind people’s backs. It is shameful.

As a disclaimer, ranting about people is fine, or asking a close friend for an opinion about someone – but there’s a difference between ranting about the truth, and shameless spreading of false information to bring down someone’s reputation.
