Warning: Failed!

I was furious. I was upset. I was worrisome. And I still am, all three!

Last Friday, I found out that ours — yours and mine — personal particulars were easily accessible on most search engines.

I know your full name, your race, your home address, your IC number, your mobile number, your email address and how you look like because I have your blog url.

Immediately, I informed Nuffnang because it’s their client. But no one responded up till today. My last resort earlier was to email Timothy Tiah, co-founder of Nuffnang.

Do you care? I do. But I am just myself.

Would you join my cause? Especially your particulars are also involved. Especially if you joined this competition below.

McDonald’s /siteadmin/ is not password protected. Anyone can go to “that” page with “the” url and export all the participants’ particulars — yours and mine, over 500++ — available on the page and sell it, or spam it, or send virus, or whatever.

Do you care? Because it could be your details that someone is stealing right now! Heck, anyone can come and rob you too.

Once again, do you care?

If you do, then spread the word. Cause I have the proof!

Is this worth it?

Along with this prize:

Anonymous calls at 3am, and countless calls from telemarketers…

I’m furious. I am upset. I am worrisome.

Heck, I am a total mess now! Because We are not safe. Wonderful as the internet may seem to be, turn it around and it will bite.

When was the last time you entered your personal particulars — DOB, NRIC, home address, mobile number, etc — for an online contest? With the organisation allegedly promising the safe keeping of your details. You read their Privacy Terms, and believed them. Especially an established one, be it international or local bred.

But now you find your info floating and freely available to Everyone on the World Wide Web! And I’ve got proof *fumes*

I would love to write more here and get them into deep sh*t. But given the benefit of doubt, I will wait for a respond in 3 days. If none is provided, I will and you will want them in a deep pool of dung.

Because this involves us Nuffnangers — especially if you joined “that” contest too! *boils*

**edit: 11.45pm**

OMG! I just read this in their Terms & Conditions. Any lawyers out there?

15. By participating in the Contest, each entrant agrees to release and hold X COMPANY and its employees, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, representatives, parent companies affiliates, subsidiaries, licensees, advertising, promotion, and fulfillment agencies, and legal advisors, harmless from any and all losses, damages, rights, claims and actions of any kind in connection with the Contest or resulting from acceptance, possession, use or misuse of any Prize, or travel to or from any Prize-related activity, including without limitation, personal injury, death, and property damage, and claims based on publicity rights, defamation, or INVASION OF PRIVACY.

Does this mean, it is OK to disclose our info on search engines? *Help!*

96,000 possible blog entries. And I was among the kiasu first 75 bloggers that wrote in — nabbing two Special Screening tickets courtesy of Warner Bros.

Should I count myself lucky?

I believe more on the expression of being at the right place, and at the right time. A fated-coincidental-dumbluck theory

But it wasn’t me.

It was the husband.

He was at the right place — Blog Marketing and New Media Workshop — and me writing this at the right time. In shorts, I too benefited and blogosphered-ly turned into a Nuffies.

And here is my fated-coincidental-dumbluck theory proof

Good Times, Great Taste at RM5.95

I’ve not heard this jingle since I was in my dark blue pinafore & ponytail. And it has been A WHILE! Say some twenty odd years *wipe dusts over shoulders* but I can still remember it as though it was today

♪ ♫ That’s why this is our place… at McDonald’s ♪ ♫ ♪

This definitely brings back fond memories of a mischievous childhood. I used to sing along whenever the advertisement is on — the beauty of childhood innocence — and even danced along to the Good Time Step on the staircase *bleh*

After all these years, my favourite is still their timeless signature McChicken. And nothing beats a McDonald’s fresh-from-the-fryer French Fries. I can munch 2 large order anytime! Sprinkle some black pepper on it and dip it with ketchup — I’m Lovin’ It *yums*

So what is your Mc-Favourite?

Mellomouse says: It’s a good time for some great taste. At RM5.95!

i can relate to Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.

The question is, WHY NOT?

It may sound weird since it ought to be Ghosts of BF Past, but a little gender switch isn’t that hard to relate. And this header does hit a little close to home — for anyone who got struck by cupid’s arrow since four *ahem*

Only two days ago I was recalling my own experience to the husband. Definitely not a no-ending-string like Connor Mead’s — although I am not proud to admit — it is a string nonetheless. Does six-cm counts?

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past hits local cinemas next month. If the title sounds familiar, that’s because ~~it ain’t Christmas yet but~~ screenwriters Lucas and Moore thought it’d be nice to give us a warm up of a summer version.

As predicted in Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol — a past, present and future — we’d expect to see Connor’s (Matthew McConaughey) comedic struggle to win the love of Jenny Perotti (Jennifer Garner) in this romantic setup. And he definitely will *yawns* *LOL* That’s why I’m always game for the Happily-Ever-After, or more preferably known as Chick-Flicks by the boys *smug*

So will you watch it even though the anticipated ending?

The husband always say and I quote, “It’s not about the outcome, but the journey”. I hope he remembers these words when I bulldoze him to the cinema next month *evil laugh*

Btw, as for my less-than-10cm string — let’s just say it may not be long enough to trip me over, but it leads to a haunted closet no less *shivers*
