Some “friends”!

Posted on December 13, 2008 | 4 Comments

I was not supposed to write about this. I don’t want to give this the importance it doesn’t deserve. But I need to vent. I want to rant about this injustice done to me, even just in this blog where only four people know who I really am.

Let’s call these two online “friends” as M and H. I became friends with M first before I became close to H. The latter is quite well known in the blogging world while M made it well known that she is a private person. We hit it off and became instant “friends”. We met a couple of times in person, M and I. H, I met twice. Our “friendship” became stronger. H even gave us a place in her cpanel.

Because I am the most “technically-inclined” among us, I was always the one called to repair whatever it is that needed repairing or when there was something that needed to be done like add a theme, customize it, add a plugin, fix an error and so on. I was given the access to the cpanel along with an ftp access to M’s blog.

Monetizing beckoned and I discovered multiple blogs. I created my own and for some reason, H started giving me the cold shoulder. I noticed it but never addressed it. I figured she might be just under the impression that I would be leaving the “group”. And then I met a cat that I became friends with. Whereas before I chat every night with H, I now chat more often with the cat. And I am now more focused with my other blogs, making money from it and I stopped bloghopping for a time then. I know that M and H talked about it behind my back. H was one of those people who were not sold to the idea of making money before but eventually took advantage of it as well. I know they resent the fact that my time is now more focused elsewhere.

Then things became okay again. I was able to talk to H and told her that I really need to make money because I am now working at home. And I am enjoying my time with my family. She understood, she said. I started bloghopping again but then it became erratic because I was always out of the house, enjoying the benefits of working at home and holding my own schedule. I did not visit both their blogs for a long time. When cat told me that H was spitting angry at her blog about someone she trusted who apparently “tried to hack” her blog or cpanel and tried bombarding her blog with spammy comments. I read it and my gut told me she was referring to me. I was one of the two or three persons she entrusted with her cpanel password. I did not react because I don’t give unnecessary attention to unimportant things. It wasn’t me, end of story. In my mind I know that whatever I say it’ll be just, damn if you do, damn if you don’t.

But I think I will give my side now. Even though only 4 (plus tatay pala!) people will understand this rant…

For the record, I don’t know her blog username and password. I have never asked her that. I knew her cpanel details but as my family and friends would attest to, I am a very forgetful person. I don’t keep details that are not mine. I rely on auto password saving/password manager here in my desktop and laptop. Without it, I’m lost. I don’t save passwords that are not mine because it will just mix with the ones I have. Also, this is what’s bothering me. What does she think I will gain from bombarding her blog with spammy comments??? Will I earn something from it? She was actually out of my mind and I just remembered her and her blog when the cat mentioned that darn post. I don’t know why she concluded that it’s me. She never asked me about it, condemning me right away. My goodness! I cannot fathom what she thought I will gain out of it. Hacking is one waste of time in my opinion! I mean, I have more than 15 blogs waiting for my attention and I will focus on spamming her blog??? Susme!!!

Now, let’s go to M. I gave M a blog of her own. I must admit, we’re really close. She already brought me to her home, introduced me to her kids. Even with the accusation from H, she still left comments in my entries. But then, some of my blogs were corrupted because of the wordpress exploit that happened. I deleted all the blogs in my cpanel and re-installed most of it. Her blog was also deleted but I saved her database. I could rebuild a blog with just the old database of hers. I don’t know her password to her admin page so I did everything on my own. She thought I deleted it without telling her and she didn’t ask me anything but just ranted in her blog about me. Again, I forgot about her totally and just remembered her existence because the cat bloghopped and saw her rant. She knows M and I were “friends”.

I thought about ignoring it. Condemned again without trial. Some “friends”! But I told a friend about this and she was so darn angry on my behalf. This is my take on M’s situation… I admit that it was my mistake, deleting her blog without telling her. But the thing is, I have every intention of reinstalling it. I just forgot all about it because I am not yet done with my other blogs. Again, my mistake that I didn’t email her about it. But when I remembered, I emailed her right away to tell her that her blog will be temporarily down. I got no response. Until the cat told me about her rants in 2 of her blogs.

Naiinis lang ako considering I help other bloggers build blogs of their own. I DON’T HACK CPANELS OR DELETE BLOGS INTENTIONALLY!!! The nerve of these two people whom I considered my “friends”! Some friends I have! Kung may makabasa (and I know a lot read their rants already), iisipin nila that I am that kind of person. H didn’t know that I know A LOT of cpanel passwords of other blogger friends but I don’t keep it. I don’t even record it. If I was texted the information, I delete the text when I am done with whatever I was doing. If I was emailed the details, I don’t keep it as well. Pamparami pa ng emails ko yun noh! And again, may mapapala ba ako kung sakaling i-hack ko account niya??? May mapapala ba ako kay M kung i-delete ko raw ang blog niya intentionally???

I don’t talk to these people anymore. So unworthy of my friendship. Si H lalo! Kapal ng mukha! Kung gusto kong i-hack ang cpanel niya, di sana noon pa! Eh ang pangit pangit kaya ng cpanel/account niya ano naman mapapala ko dun??? Magkakapera ba ako? Nakakasama ng loob lang talaga lalo na kung iisipin mo na ang dami kong ginawang favors para sa kanya before. Ako kaya ang nag-ayos ng mga abubot niya sa cpanel niya dati. Saka kung marunong akong mang-hack, di sana yung malalaking bloggers na ang i-hack ko na lang. Sino ba siya???

At kay M… I gave her that blog. I have the prerogative to take it back pero wala akong ganong intention kaya! I can delete it anytime I want because it was hosted in my web hosting account but again, I don’t have any intention of doing that!

Badtrip sila!

Okay, now I have vent my anger already. Okay na ako
