Recently , I read about this popular public figure who criticized some Boy Band and end up being trolled by most kpop fans. What amaze me is the way she response to all bad comments and threats to her. She is GOOD! Really SUPER GOOD in handling the troll one by one! SALUTE her mentally strong pesona!

She then shyly replied she need a pen and paper for her to write her url. Hope she learn her own lesson like me too. Then I realize this is how I look like during my first event. I look so sloppy and not ready to represent my blog.  Some people may commented , we are just bunch of bloggers and most of us just start a blog for fun during pass times as hobbies. To be honest, I did started out for rant space and over the years its shows some small coffee money out
