Sigh* I just have to rant a little bit because my blood is boiling as of this moment. Sometimes people can really spew out the meanest words without even knowing and it really hurts me-- the sensitive person that I am.

I won't name the person who has caused this, but I should mention that he is no stranger to me. He is actually my blood. Actually there are two of them-- they are my blood whom I haven't had a chance to develop a close relationship to, which I should be thankful for cuz I don't know how I'll jive with them having our personalities and morals too different from each other.

I should also mention that I can be really sensitive when it comes to my loved ones, especially to Ced. Sometimes I feel that I have developed this idea that I am here to protect them against people that are insulting.

Here's the story. Firstly, you know how FIFA is hot right now. Well, I was rooting for this game that was fighting against what this guy is rooting for. So i commented on his status saying I'm rooting for the country he was hating on. He goes on saying, "well no one really cares who you were rooting for :D". Reading that line, I was shocked, I was surprised and I just wanted to slap someone. That reply was uncalled for. I replied letting him know, just for fun. I commented because he was my cousin. I comment a lot in facebook especially in pictures, statuses and whatever. That's just who I am. When I comment a lot, it means that I'm fond of you; that I want to get closer than just being "facebook friends". Well now, lesson's learned; I should pick carefully not really what I have to say cuz I'm pretty sensitive already with the words I speak, but who to comment on.

I let that situation go. I worked out and I just put my frustrations when i threw air punches. I didn't know how to really react to that reply cuz again we're not close; I didn't grow up in the same environment with them and who knows how their parents raised them. It sure is different than how my siblings and I were raised.

Second scenario. The older brother of the guy above commented on my picture asking how tall my brother is. So I told him. After a few days, he comes back and replies, "HAH my brother is taller than him". That was, again, uncalled for. Don't ever hurt my brother or you will fight with me. Insult him and I will be furious even though most of the time Ced doesn't even acknowledge that he was insulted. If my brother is too naive to fight back, I will do it for him.

If my memory serves me right, this same situation happened years ago, but we were actually talking in yahoo messenger. Again, he compared his brother with my brother and also, he "HAH" me, letting me know that his brother is better than Ced. Why does he have to rub it in my face all the time. Is he that insecure? I am pretty proud of my brother and I will never take those kinds of attacks as 'jokes'. I take those seriously because Ced is probably the best brother one could have.

I feel pathetic that I'm crying as I write this post, but this issue is very close to my heart. Some people should not cross certain boundaries, especially when it comes to my family because although I can be jolly and outgoing with most people, I can be just as fierce.

On a positive note, we're about to go to Powerade Centre and witness some fireworks. There might be a picture overload later as I've got my hands on our camera after a bajillion years. Stay tuned and Happy Canada Day!
