Bragging - T'is in the family

Hola. Style of writing inspired by Tun Dr M's CheDets.

1. Bragging. What is it about bragging that has haunted this family of mine?

2. Lol. You probably won't understand that. Little back story to that. Flashback to about a week ago>>
    1. My second sis gave me a text saying that he made a personal thread/posting in a very well-known board/forum in Malaysia using my username/nick [just as a heads up.]
    2. She said she was sorry for using my username as it was a very personal post.
    3. I texted her back asking whether I can read the said posting and she replied that she doesn't mind.
    4. I went and read the said posting [essentially a personal posting asking for advice], and lo and behold, it had already received 12 pages of replies.
    5. What is it about the posting then?
    6. Well, suffice to say, my sister was posting there to get an advice on her personal matter.
    7. The only problem was, when she originally posted it, she accidentally bragged about her husband's wealth to the world [knowing my sister, I know that she did it unintentionally].
    8. That ignited some forummers [word not yet in any dictionary] @users@posters to reply with some very harsh comments.
    9. It was very appalling to me to have all those comments.
    10. I was like - Don't these people have brains to filter out their thoughts?
    11. I mean, seriously.
    12. That's why we homo-sapiens have brains thank you very much.
    13. Yes, almost all of the forummers have shown that they are a step above the monkeys by having opposable thumbs that can manage to type onto their keyboards; but can they even contemplate on things?
    14. NO.
3. Anway, coming back to the bragging part. I admit, my sister did invited all those comments when she unabashedly listed down her abundance of wealth to the world, BUT, to be honest though; everyone is guilty of that for once or twice in their life. For my sister, that was her first, and she totally didn't deserve to deserve all those harsh comments ppl were giving her.

4. That was that then. [My sister being braggy]

5. It led me to think though >> am I a braggy person?

6. I honestly couldn't answer that myself [obviously].

7. Although, when I really think hard upon it, I think the only time when I'm being braggy is when it comes to anything technology. [read:Apple].

8. I mean, that's why people [read: Windows/PC/non-AppleMac users] kept abusing ones who do uses Apple products.

9. I mean, I didn't even know that they were 'labelling' Apple users as an elitist and occultist. Do you?

10. Bragging. T'is in the family then :/



p/s: My other sis just texted me that she's gonna be postponing the wedding to December to coincide with my winter holiday. hmmpphh......there goes my solid plan of going back this March :/ [but, still a great news as that means I can escape the coming winter coldness (^-^)
