Note: I will not even proofread this because I felt a sudden surge of anger surfacing as I was finishing up this rant. Ugh. And some frustration too. Jusssst omaygahhd no. Just no.

Yeah it's been a while!

Didn't have much to rant about in my life so the chapters here are so far apart. Teka 'bat ba ako English ng English pinapahirapan ko lang sarili ko eh.

Anyway two days ago I encountered a user. Who has been using several accounts for the past months and he's no stranger to me kasi minsan ko na siyang na encounter sa mga clubs and awards before. Now this chapter is sooooo full of rants. I'm so tempted to disclose his identity but it will impolite. Besides hindi ko talaga sinulat ang rant chapter na 'to sa kasagsagan ng inis ko kasi baka magbeast mode ako bigla.

Let's cut to the chase. For those who doesn't know I have a graphic portfolio where I post all my amateur edits and old graphic requests. It was actually just for self expression and stuffs like that kasi hindi ko pa keri mag-open ng shop. Kaya hindi ako tumatanggap ng request. Well, I used to accept requests through pm pero ngayon nagbreak muna ako do'n.

So ganito kasi. I keep having comments on my portfolio on random parts about a form. Like a request form. It was everywhere. LIKE LITERALLY EVERYWHERE. I try to update my theme a form pops up. Unwarranted!  I try to post a contest entry a form pops up. At some point it becomes annoying and totally disrespectful. Kahit sa mga shops nga na tumatanggap ng graphic request kailangan pumunta ka sa tamang spot at magcomment dun.

So I tried to hadle it as an adult as much as I can. I deleted the comments of a really messy form and I sent a pm explaining why I had to delete them and why I won't be accepting requests. Kasi minsan ko na sinabi 'yon baka hindi niya lang nakita that time. So ayun nga.

This was taken after I deleted the comments na.

U

na sa lahat hindi shop ang portfolio ko. Pangalawa ako pa ba ang mamomroblema kung kanino ka magpapagawa ng cover? Pero sige nasa reading list ko marami namang shop dun mula sa iba kong friends pwede ka dun.

I regretted giving a suggestion dahil minutes later he signed the form on an org I was involved in. At kahit kakasabi ko lang na hindi muna ako tumatanggap ng request surprise sakin pa rin siya nag-request. Again I tried so hard to politely deny him. Kasi una sa lahat, the form was VERY MESSY. Pangalawa, HINDI MAN LANG SIYA NAGBASA NG RULES AT REGULATIONS HALATANG PUMUNTA LANG SA FORM AT NAG-PASTE EH. MALI MALI PA ANG PINAGLALAGAY. Pangatlo, the demand was a bit exhausting at kahit may shop ako tatanggihan ko pa rin siya dahil personally hindi ko kayang gawin ang request. I think any editor would do the same. I mean who wants a rude and ignorant customer?  Plus ayaw ko naman na tanggapin ang request na hindi ko mabibigay ang best ko.

Pero hindi iyon ang kina-inis ko. So I tried stalking him. Kasi marami akong time plus I'm a bit of a sociopath that likes to dig around ppls profiles. I did because he was complaining that shops are denying his request and all that.

And what I found really blew me. For the past 3 days, he has been to multiple graphic shops requesting the same covers. The other two request were just minutes away from the one he asked me to do.

Ok. IDK if he realized the intensity of this. Pero nakakahiya na nga madiskubre na nagshop-hop ka sa dalawang shop, HOW MUCH MORE KAPAG ANIM DI BA?

At hindi lang siya shop hopper! Sa lahat ng yun wala siyang sinunod na rules. Kahit add to reading list or fill up the form neatly or tag some friends. WALA!  Kapag naghukay ka sa activity niya makikita mo lang ang iba't-ibang comments niya sa form. IYON LANG.

THIS MADE ME FURIOUS. SO FURIOUS.

This is like a whole new level of being an ignorant prick ok. So I called him out. I gave him a piece of my mind dahil nangungulit pa rin sakin. Kasi daw lagi siyang na dedeny.

Sa lahat ng yan ito ang request niya.

And this was only what?  Like within 2 days. This was not involving all the other requests he made for the past weeks on MANY MANY MANY SHOPS.

There was even one editor na binigay na sakanya ang request niya. Like a day before he pestered me. THEN WHY DO YOU NEED TO PISS ME OFF AND GO AROUND ALL THESE SHOPS EH MAY NAGBIGAY NA NG REQUEST MO? 

Take note. The book was not even published. See... A phantom book gagawan mo ng cover at makailang beses siya nagpapalit2 ng UN at demands tapos hindi naman publish. Hindi sumusunod sa rules. Shop hopper pa.

And when I call him out in PM about this he said lagi daw siya na dedeny at one week na siya nag hihintay ng cover niya. WOW. I DIDN'T KNOW THAY ONE WEEK IS NOW EQUIVALENT TO 48 MINS. MY EDUCATION HAS FAILDE ME!!!

Akala niya ba like BAAM ITO NA COVER MO, YOUR HIGHNESS. PEOPLE HAVE LIVES TOO RIGHT?  Tapos grabe ah. Like grabe talaga.

After nun, he deleted his activities involving the requests but it was too late for him. Dahil I find ways. I bet he did it to victimize other editors too. I'm warning all of you guys.

Baka mag request siya sa inyo and you're more than willing to do it. Don't!

Ngayon maliwanag na ang reason bakit lagi siyang nade-deny at mas malala pa ang mga nadiskubre ko. Ugh.
