Conflicted.
Our Joey said censorship on the Internet will lessen the amount of stupidity we’re exposed to everyday. She has lived without the Internet most of her life, pored through volume after volume of encyclopedia to do her homework, and waited for a book to be returned to the library before she can borrow it. She did alright; in fact, she did excellent in school. Back then, she did not have a blog. She did not show off what she wore on Lookbook. She was not distracted by senseless posts on Facebook and Twitter. The lack of Internet taught her patience, perseverance and focus on what needs to be done. She said too much freedom breeds mediocrity and people like Justin Bieber.
But like one of my readers said once, “Who cares what Joey thinks?”
Without the liberties granted by the Internet, I will just be a doll sitting in a cabinet. I’m honored to be on Wikipedia and Reference.com. It makes me feel credible and alive.
If only the law rids the web of idiots, leaving only beautiful things like this, which we may not have access to if SOPA and PIPA closes down YouTube.
The human world is so conflicted.
The Queen of Fruits

Have you tried drinking pineapple juice straight from the fruit on an early morning in Bukidnon? It’s a life-changing experience.
Bukidnon, Paradise

Who waters 9,000 hectares of pineapple fields? Every afternoon in Bukidnon, it rains without fail, and every morning, the sun shines on dewy pineapples. God is a constant gardener.
Small Joys

Manx Minuet, six-string sex siren, a child? Unimaginable. Was Manx ever innocent? Was she ever without big boobs? Just thinking about it blows my headcap.
Dilemmas and Duplicates
Oh dear.

There will be three Mikey[1] sculpts at the Dolpa 26 in Tokyo, one of them a Yo-SD Jun Tachibana. Under normal circumstances, Joey would go into a fit, mark the date, send a few urgent emails and start monitoring her heart rate, but today, she hesitates and very objectively asks: Do we really need another Veritas in the house?
- [1] Mikey Shigeta is the daughter of Volks President, Hideyuki Shigeta. The main designer of the Super Dollfie line, she created Joey's favorite sculpts from the Tokyo Shonen Monogatari: Shiro Tachibana, Jun Tachibana and the incredibly handsome Tsukasa Konoe. ↩
