Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful. - John Wooden

So I've been following a few popular bloggers on Twitter and Instagram even though, to be honest, I don't like them all. There are a few that I find either too ignorant/bimbo or opinionated. Truth is, I've been following their blogs way before Twitter and Instagram became the "IN" thing and I've seen how they grow and transformed over the years. To put it simple, I've watched how fame and popularity changed them.
I'm not going to mention any name here since it's just my personal opinions which you are not subject to agree with of course. One of the blogger became a mother yesterday. I used to liked her a lot back when I was in my teenage years and find her writing hilarious especially when she curses at people. But as I grew older I start to realized that she has somehow become very self-centred and I quote her "emotionally detached" from the tragedies in the world. Yet, I was so excited yesterday I keep on checking my Twitter for updates on her newborn and I melted when I saw the little guy. He is so sweet. I was also watching her video tour on her new home the day before and I am so in love with her new home I actually got motivated to clean my house. For 30 minutes. FML. In the end I realized the only way I will ever turned my house into her house is by striking a lottery or getting a new house wtf.
Back to our topic, she's known to swear and block her followers on Twitter a lot for offering good-intentioned advises or when their opinions differ, ie how it's not encouraged to dye her hair during pregnancy and how it's better to opt for natural instead of a c-sect for faster healing and minimal pain after giving birth and so on. While I do agree that it's our life and thus we are entitled to make our own decision without having know-it-all people forcing their advises on us, I think the swearings, name callings and blocking are uncalled for, except for her haters that call her "bitch/ugly/etc" la. The rest are just well-wishers who care about her and her baby. I know it's annoying having the same advise repeated over and over again but what do you expect when you have almost 150k followers? 150k different advises? And I guess the fact that she is hormonal only make matter worse.
There is also this time when she confessed to how emotionally detached she have become referring to the war in Gaza and how she can't do anything to change/stop it, that somehow wars will still happen whether you like it or not. She continue to ask if, hypothetically, you have to donate 3k to stop the war, will you do it? And when a few of her readers replied by saying that they will, she couldn't accept and call them immature. And then she went on and on to justify her ignorant statement. One of her fan replied by saying that she (the fan) will not sacrifice her bunny because her bunny's live is too precious. WTF man..
Have these people even seen the heart wrenching pictures from Gaza where innocent children as young as 1 year old were killed mercilessly??? I saw and my heart shattered into a million pieces because I HAVE CHILDREN AND I CAN NEVER IMAGINE SOMETHING SO CRUEL AND PAINFUL HAPPENING TO THEM.
How anybody can be so insensitive and ignorant is just beyond me.
But what worries me most are the people who defended her for her actions. As if it's not bad enough that one person is being a bad example, we have teenagers (mostly) backing her and joining her in the attack, defending her. Seriously, what is wrong with society nowadays? People saying and doing something to create controversy for the sake of fame and fortune and we have teens cheering and worshiping them for being "true" and "brave"? Personally, I think that there's a fine line between being "true" and "insensitive". You are being true when you are not afraid to show people which political party you support, and you are being insensitive when you say to someone who just lost a loved one "Good riddance". Wait, that's downright vile -.-
My point is, everyone can be "true" but what makes it different is if we're being true in a good or bad way. I simply cannot tahan famous and influential people endorsing bad behaviour and ignorance. Do they have any idea how every words that they uttered and typed affect people who idolize them? I'm not saying that they should be hardcore activist or philanthropist like me (I spammed my FB walls with petitions and sad news all the time and the saddest is of 10 petitions that I shared, only 1 person in my list bothered to sign maybe one of it. Sometimes even none :(
I often ask myself "Why are people nowadays so ignorant and selfish? It only takes less than 5 minutes to sign a petition at the comfort of their own space with just a few clicks. Not say ask them to go England to adopt these babies. But why they don't seem to care even the slightest bit? Their heart don't ache when they see all the sufferings in the world? Then why do I get sleepless nights when I stumbled upon a video or news of children being abused and killed? Am I abnormal?" Most of the time I am left to ponder at my own questions.
What I'm trying to say is since when have we become so ignorant and selfish we no longer FEEL and CARE about what is going on in the world beside ourselves? Why do people who have the power to raise awareness on issues don't give a damn about it and why do people like Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj have so much fans when all they ever do is dressing uniquely (obviously I'm being polite here) and singing senseless songs? We've became so occupied and obsessed with our own life and expectations we forgot to stop and take a look at things that are happening around us and even if we do see something most of us will only choose to ignore. It's very sad :(
Anyway, I hope that now she is a mother, she will be more kind and sympathetic and be more motherly because motherhood plus the right age has certainly changed how I view things and make me care about stuffs that I didn't know existed once. Seriously I used to be so dense about tragedies because I was so caught up in my own life until one day I start to pay attention to news and also thanks to a few animal activist who constantly spam my news feed with statistics and petitions (karma's a bitch, yo).
Ok I'm done yakking but before I end this post, here's a few famous celebrities-cum-philanthropist/activist/humanitarian that I really love! If only everyone can put their fame and fortune to good use like them. Sigh..
The one and only, Oprah Winfrey.
If you're surprised please go and bang your head on your wall already thank you.
Christina Applegate.
She was a breast cancer survivor. Why do mishap always happen to good people while those dickhead monsters live up to 100 years old wtf.
Hayden Panettiere.
She joined the protest against dolphins killings in Japan and weep while watching them being killed.
I mean, have you ever shed a tear for an animal??? (and we're not talking about your pet dog here ok)
Angelina Jolie. DUH.
UNICEF ambassador and one of the most committed humanitarian amongst celebrities that I've known.
Although she did not top the list of celebrities who donated the most but the fact that she's donated 50% of her time on a cause that she strongly believes in is good enough for me.
Have you ever seen Justin Bieber going to Iraq to meet the refugees there? No, right?
Paul McCartney.
Apparently he is one of the top philanthropists who gives back AND also a vegetarian.
Trust me IT IS a big deal to be a vegan okay and a really tough challenge to resist meat because I'm trying right now and sometimes I just give in to KFC (I know how unhealthy it is so please save the lecture for someone else thank you) or fishes. Ok fine actually I don't think I can ever survive without meat therefore I'm trying to restrict myself to only seafoods T_T
I know, quite hypocrite lo cos when I see dog lovers in my fb chiding and petitioning against Korea's dog meat but still post pictures of Bak Kut Teh or chicken casserole I feel the same.
But please cut me some slack and give the poor momma some time.
I need some energy to yell at the monsters.
I'll try! *ties white band around head*
Khloe Kardashian.
My favorite of all Kardashians!
She helped Peta to campaign against fur and if you watch KUWTK you will remember this episode where she asked Kris Jenner to remove the picture of Kim in a fur hoodie from their house's wall. I love this girl. She's always so real unlike both her sisters and I especially hate Kimmy cos she's so dramatic and good at PR and she wears fur which is so opposite of Khloe and she would do and say anything at all for publicity I'm starting to think that Miss Blogger got her inspiration from KimK.
Repulsive.
Something Chopra -_-
I'm sorry lah but I'm not that familiar with Bollywood celebrities except for Aishwarya Rai and Shah Ru Khan (is that how you even spell their name?). And something....... Preety and Bachan??
-_________-
But anyway I just like the message that she was trying to send. It's true ok everyone should boycott circuses because if you watch how they train those poor elephants you will feel like the worst consumer ever and if you don't, go have a doctor check to see if you still have a heart =3
Persia White.
Actually she's not my favorite activist but I like the poster and the message it's trying to send also.
You seriously MUST watch the video of animal skinning process to know how disheartening and inhumane it is. Once, a fanpage against animal cruelty shared a video and I can only bring myself to watch like 30 seconds of it and it's not even gotten to the part where they start to skin the animal alive okay??!
So fucking sad and barbaric. Those fuckers and people who contributed to the buying.
Rihanna
No she don't give a fucking damn about animals neither has she campaigned for PETA before. I put her up cos I hate her. Even though she's reportedly had donated some money to don't know what children hospital and foundation but she's always wearing fur and tweeting racy and distasteful pictures of herself. One time she tweeted a picture of her wearing fur with the hashtag #petaproblem. Even though she had the picture removed later on but the next day she tweeted this
Can you say remorseless?
You see her wear fur more than you pick your nose.
So her actions are very contradicting lo. How can anyone care about children but support slaughtering of animals for vanity?
Doesn't make sense at all.Therefore I can safely conclude that she's just donating to boost her reputation cos she only donated like once the most twice throughout her entire career life lo.
Also, Lady Gaga.
(Ranked second in my list for most hated celebrity. First is Nicki Minaj.)
This one needs the least elaboration. Just Google her up can already.
Beside always literally endorsing fur/meat, also teach people nonsense, wear ugly shoes and sit in a 24k gold wheelchair after her hip injury and surgery.
Hou yao yeng meh?!
Glamorous and extraordinary my ass.
Anywayssssssssss, I've saved the best for last!
IAN SOMERHALDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111
ZOMG somebody please kill me alreadyyy. He is the reason why I even consider reincarnating as a stray dog (provided if I die before he does la of course and yes I'm a Buddhist you have problem?).
My sister and I are so head over heels in love and smitten with this man after a long and endless debate on who gets to fantasize about him we've agreed on co-owning -_-
Though I'm trying to convince her to be his non-existent imaginary wife while I be the mistress because usually mistress are more loved and spoiled. Muahahaha.
Dream on, bitch.
Back on track, I follow him on Twitter and he's all about animals and climate change and preserving the earth and so on. He even have his own foundation and it's called Ian Somerhalder Foundation !
Beauty with a caring heart :') I'm trying very hard to deny the fact that he's taken and he loves his girlfriend very much.

I hate you, Nina Dobrev!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *cries blood*
:(
Alright, these are just the few of many. Some I don't want to put up their pictures up because I cannot accept that they also got do charity lorh! Like Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga ALTHOUGH Justin Bieber donated the least according to Forbes. Like 0.02% of his total assets!! Fucker. And apparently some celebrities do charity for publicity wtf. Forbes say one arh, not me. So since I hate JB and LG I will just assume that they are in that category along with Rihslutna :D
Ok damn long post I can go and sleep now wtf 3:58am already T_T
