google me

it's been a long time since my last entry. i didn't want to be doing this but still, there's a reason why i'm doing it. anyway, anyone who caught the straits times today might want to check out the comic strips under life. i'm not a blog fanatic so i'm not going to scan the strip and post it up. besides, the straits times reported that sggirls.com just got sued because someone downloaded a copyrighted image of a model from perspective models (if my memory didn't fail me) and uploaded to their site. apparantly, the law now attacks the company hosting the site instead of individuals who uploaded the image because, 'it's the company's responsibility to review every upload' (not an exact quote but to the same extent). if i do upload the comic strip for you to see, google might get sued. i just found out recently that blogger belongs to google. did you know that?
just some information on the comic strip (not really a strip, it was just a picture), it shows some girl googling the guy who treated her to a glass of wine before deciding if she wants to talk to him. some time ago, my lecturer spoke of 'googling' and there are employers who actually do that to look up more information on their prospective employees before hiring them. so i tried googling myself (it only works with full names) and an entire list of korean sites sprang up with many of them having the same name as me. so, now i'm korean. annyeonghaseyo. but i've been trying to make myself more mentally deficient by studying spanish. no hablo mucho español. i'm not saying that learning spanish makes one mentally deficient. check back on my previous entry - some people claimed that being multi-lingual equates to being mentally deficient so in their terms, i'm getting mentally deficient. the sad thing is, i love languages.
people say ignorance is bliss. i believe that because now that i know you can never delete your entries off computers, i can't express myself that freely anymore. in case you didn't know, anything submitted online or saved on your harddisks can never be deleted. the delete key is a deception. you just don't see it anymore. how else did you think the so-called 'lost' files can be recovered? so if i ever do make mistakes, it'll be archived and brought up against me a million years down the road as long as the harddisk containing the information is not destroyed. though i believe doing a low-level format would do the trick of making a clean getaway, i am not so sure anymore. come on people, that's the way i am. i crack unwise jokes all the time and if you're going to charge me based on my harmless and unintentional offences, i'm going to become a really dull person to hang out with. so please, i need to clarify, i never do harmful things deliberately and i hope i've not defamed or slandered anyone especially power houses because i can't afford a court case.
look, google has grown so much that, from a noun, it has become a verb. even more amazing, look, it has different forms!
1) i want to google my employee.
2) i googled my employee yesterday.
3) i am googling my employee now.
no wonder microsoft is feeling uneasy about its growth. has anyone ever said, 'i am microsofting my employee' or 'i am windowsing my employee'? but hey, don't get freaked out. at least we have windows everywhere. on buses, trains and plenty in every home. in fact, every household here has just changed their windows to even more secure windows. isn't that good news?
finally, blame it on what i've learnt but i need to protect myself so, i need to declare that all information listed may not be accurate. do not take my word for it. you guys are smart readers. you should know when i'm just kidding.
ps: the part about you guys being smart readers, i'm just kidding =)
