I started blogging at the age of 16. I was a college freshmen then, bordering to Sophomore, and was currently in the state of having suicidal tendencies. I blogged about teenage angst and emo-driven sentiments. Occasionally, I would update my Friendster shoutout with negative comments concerning people I didn't like. A lot of my friends would ask who am I referring to. I would just shrug my shoulders and feign a smile. Some others - those who feel like they are the ones being talked about in the said "comment" - would assault me back. They would throw hate tirades at me, but I just let them be. I allow them to say nasty things about me because it's their right; because they have the freedom to do so. I just ignore them until they get exhausted and retreat back to their sack and doze off.
I grew up and eventually started posting things with responsibility. I always try to think first before I click. Although, I must admit, there are still times when I could not hold my emotions and would stain my FB and Twitter wall with nonsense shenanigans for liberating sake. I do so because I believe in the freedom of self-expression. After all, we are not robots.
Big reveal: I have a private personal blog. It's supposed to be filled with negative rants, gossips, and what not. Are the police hunting me now? Another Big Reveal: There's nothing in it, simply because I decided not post my emotional rants on the Web; private blog or non-private blog.

Now here comes the issue on the Cybercrime Law, and how, we people who live in the age of Internet are now prohibited to express ourselves to our own liking. I have read the entire Cybercrime Law Act and all I can say is that, this is plain ridiculous. I have listed below my reasons why I can't get myself to befriend this law.
