Four things you should never blog about

It might be tempting to post your grievances online and let the entire world know about it, but no matter how much you want to do it, don't. Sensitive information, pictures or even opinions directed at individuals might one day find its way back to you. Here is a list of the four things you should never blog about.

1. Your personal information

It is a no-brainer to know that you should not post information such as your credit card number online. But other seemingly harmless information, such as the address of your new apartment, or your new cell phone number, should not go online as well. You never know if someone might be able to use that information to track you down.

2. Photos you only want your close friends to see

Remember that picture of you standing on the bar top in your underwear that your best friend took in college? It might be an interesting conversation piece, but if it's something you don't want the entire world and your friend's friend's friend's cousin's hamster to see, don't post it online. Imagine if a potential employer, or - horror of horrors - your boss, discovers the photo posted on someone else's MySpace account.

3. Your job

It may suck. It may be the worst job in the world with the lowest pay or you are in charge of doing all the dirty work. No matter how much you hate your job, never talk about it on your blog. Not only would your superiors get a bad impression of you should they find out, you might also have posted information about the company that is considered confidential.

Even if you love your job, don't talk about it online. Your enthusiasm might not be reciprocated should the top dogs find out that you have been posting the company's latest secret prototype photos on your blog because you love cell phones so much.

4. Your boss

Or the office bitch. Or anyone you don't like. You might never know if the office bitch finds out about your very personal opinions about your boss and well - forwarded them to the boss. The situation at work might be ugly, but don't make it any uglier by taking it online.

Okay, then i should go all the way back to my archives and delete some of my complains at work... hee~

I'm still active!

wah wah, never know it's that long since i last login to blogger. Where have i been? Well, i went to Japan trip with my dearest hubby! It was a 10 days free and easy trip. Hubby did all the homework on their transport and directions whereas i just sourced for the hotels and attractions i would like to go. Plan to quite a few places: Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Gamagori, Hakone, Tokyo and Disneysea. We are lucky enough to be able to apply leave during the Sakura season and got to see cherry blossom everywhere in Japan! The blossoms really reminds us of our times in France, with the Sunflower field, Tulip farm and Lavender field!

If you like sightseeing, Kyoto and Hakone should be a good choice. If the weather is clear, you will be able to see Mt Fuji from the ropeway ride or sightseeing cruise in Hakone. Its a pity that it rained during our stay in Hakone, that we are unable to see the majestic Mt Fuji. However we do enjoy their onsen (spring bath) very much especially in their cold weather!

On the other hand if you are a shopping freak, Tokyo is the best shopping spot for you. They have very long shopping streets in different areas like Akihabara, Ikebukuro and Shinjuku. We managed to bunk in at our Japanese friend's home during our 2-day stay in Japan. She had prepared dinner and breakfast for us, making us feel so much at home and to taste the Japanese home-cooked dishes where you may not be able to find them at the restaurants. It was being nice of them to give up their bedroom for us to sleep in and set up futons for us. Really appreciate for their hospitability. Thanks Yoshiya and Yuko for being a great hosts!

In overall, do not give Japan a miss. They have nice and cultured people that they even queue up to board the train!

We find most of the Japan information here: http://www.japan-guide.com/
Do check it out if you are going to Japan, it's extremely useful.

I did not post any photos online yet, but to those friends who have access to view my Friendster, you can see a few of the photos being uploaded there!

Cheers!
