Dear Diary,Last Friday evening, on the way to
Be Yoga,
I stopped by Atilia's table at a mamak place around the corner for a quick drink, when..
. . . . . . .
a guy from a table across, walked to our table.
I whispered to
Atilia, "Babe, mesti your fan ni!"
To my surprise, he introduced himself to us, shook our hands and asked ME,
"You are Ninie, the yoga instructor right?"I answered, Yes.. lah kan.
When he continued,
"Oh hi, I am your one of your MySpace friends!"Errrrr, but I don't have MySpace!
"But YOU have been replying to my messages!"
BUT I DO NOT HAVE MYSPACE!Dengan sepantas kilat, Atilia berri-ed
myspace.com/ninieahmad and found, surprise surprise..
Imagine my terror when I discovered the profile.
Of course that's my picture, my profile, my photos but I did not set that up!
They were copied bluntly from my Facebook!
I DO NOT OWN ANY MYSPACE OR FRIENDSTER ACCOUNTS!This 'Ninie Ahmad' had painstakingly copied and pasted almost all of my albums
and most of my pictures in those albums to MySpace!
I can't say I am not flattered.
Someone actually thinks I am worth their time to be doing this for me!
And I am not even a celebrity!
Well, if you know me well enough, you would know that,
For one,
I wouldn't be caught dead with anything pink in my room, my office desk
(no offense pink lovers, I'm just not blessed with the liking for pink coloured things, chic-lit books and Stila / BeneFit packagings)let alone on my profile background!
Secondly,
Not in my right mind I would have the time and would want to be seen with profile name (love symbol) Ninie (love symbol).
Sorry, Googled for the html code for that heart symbol thing tetapi tiada berjumpa!
AND,
I would never write '
adidas' as Adidas without small-capitalizing the initial 'a'.
All of you shouldn't too.
adidas is registered and trademarked with all small letters.
(Jessica Lim and Darren Choy, don't you just love me?)The closer I took a look at that profile and all the comments left to the pictures,
all the more I can't imagine what this 'Ninie Ahmad' has been writing / replying
to 'my' friends and my friend-wannabes!
Giler mengorat secara rempit lagi terburuk kan?
I immediately lodged an official complaint letter to MySpace and they responded with a solution
on how to verify 'who is the real Ninie Ahmad' by following a few steps:
- They need to receive a 'salute' from the owner of the MySpace profile or from the party in question (a salute is a digital image or picture of you holding a handwritten sign that contains information about your MySpace account).
- They will then determine if the 'Ninie Ahmad' in the salute is the owner of the account / profile by comparing the salute with the pictures uploaded in the reported profile's photos.
While they take their time in determining the verdict,
whoever's in 'my' MySpace, kindly delete yourself out!
If 'I' have been asking for money or sexual favours, it wasn't me!
And seriously, who still MySpaces?
While I am at it,
I do not approve Facebook's
Friend Request from anyone I have never
met had conversations with in real life
(although some exceptions go to veryyyyyyyyy special bloggers / my blog readers that have special places in my spine)and please do understand that I can't afford to approve everyone that has been to my yoga classes / read my blog!
Anyway, I have also disabled my Facebook's
Add Friend Request since last year
since I have more Friend Requests than my own Friends List. What the?
There is not much in my
Facebook that I don't share here
so tak payah lahhhhh add me.
Dan tak payahlah susah payahhhhhhhhhhhhhh create another profile of me!
Kalau nakkkkkkkk jugak buat Ninie perasan celebrity,
followlah Ninie di
http://twitter.com/ninieahmadIf I am that worthy.
