SOMEONE is somewhat stalking me..
and it really scares me..
if you have noticed, i've limited my multiply and livejournal entries, photos, etc. to CONTACTS and FRIENDS ONLY.
my multiply used to have a public access, same with LJ, because i want to share my views and experiences to anyone. With that, I'll be able to gain new set of friends. I put TRUST to people and I believe people should be responsible, that, in any case, they are or should be mature enough as an individual.
take my havaianas collection pictures for instance.. if you have noticed, i did not put any copyright or trademarks into my pictures. Before, i didnt care whether someone will steal my photos and post it somewhere else claiming it as their own.. because i know, whatever they do, they are the ones who will be at fault anyway.. they will be held responsible to whatever circumstances may occur.. but i was wrong.. really wrong.. i should not have shared my pictures to everyone.. it was a HUGE mistake.
so yeah, SOMEONE stole one of my havaianas photos and posted it on HIS livejournal.
HE even added me as a friend. I, on the other hand, did not add him back. I checked his livejournal and surprisingly, I saw my havaianas collection photo on his site. I dont know this guy, and no matter how many times I visit his LJ
, I would never ever understand his posts, because i don't know from what country he's from.. and this somewhat makes me feel that i am being stalked or sth.
Minna, I know there are lots of stuffs in the Internet that are not readily available and there are some kind-hearted and generous people out there who share their stuffs to others. We should LEARN how to credit them. A simple "thank you for sharing" or "may i use your pic?" message is enough. Demo, reality bites. Not all people are mature enough to do such things.
maaaa... i feel pity for those people..
now, i've learned a lesson.. as much as i would like to share my collection, or even my life to everyone, it seems that i cannot do that anymore. this makes me sad.. really!
so if you happen to read this post, this means you are important to me. It doesn't matter how long i have known you.. it means, i trust you and i want to share some pieces of my life to you..
Gomen for the long post.. i just want to let this out..
