PD drama of the year.
This past weekend my Shoutbox has been filled with nasty comments about my writing, my dad’s money, my undeserving career and ermm..my shopping habits. My poor handbags; all innocent and dunno anything, yet have been hated by some of you.
Now let me tell you something… I get it. I appreciate the negative comments just like I appreciate the really sweet ones. Because I’m an adult. I know that in life, no matter how nice you are, how whatever you are, you are definitely going to get some who like you and many more who hate you. That’s just life.
My intention of writing isn’t to hurt you guys. Whatever you guys comment, I do read them. And I love them. Because any advice or criticism will only make me a better person. Nobody is perfect; everybody needs to be told once in a while, including lil old me.
So, keep them coming. But how about this? If you can’t stand me and feel the need to say something (if not you can’t sleep well at night), why don’t you send me a private message? I mean, you do know the Shoutbox is public right? I can delete them but what’s the point if other people have read and replied to them even before I get to my laptop. And plus, I’m just not that kind to delete comments (unless you’re Dean and you leave super cheesy love-declaring comments in public)
By writing it in public, your motives aren’t purely to tell me off, it’s also to embarrass me. I might not be as affected as you want me to be, but in the process, you hurt my parents, my relatives, my handbags…and if Opah can read English, I can assure you 120% that she’ll cry.
So, let it be our little secret.
As for my other readers, of course I won’t stop blogging!!
What, so some people tell me off, I run to my mommy crying and wanting to close down PD? How old do you think I am? Five? I’m more thick-skin than you think I am.
I haven’t been updating this weekend because it’s been SUCH a crazy week.
Got back from London, Opah has been unwell (don’t worryyyy she’s getting better), I’ve been jetlagged, I had a friend’s wedding, I helped babysit my niece and nephew, I have been spending time with Madam Chan, and on top of that, I had an exciting photoshoot for a magazine. No, I have not been shopping (see?!! getting better already!! :))…but erm, that’s probably because I haven’t had the time….BABY STEPS OK!?!
Anyway, I hope to update again soon! Ttyl.
p/s: Seriously, no hard feelings. I’ve had plenty worse.
you go girl PD, that’s why we love u even more!
PD, u always do things with style & charisma and this entry proves it.
Haters can only hate the things they can’t have & the people they can’t be.
btw, gosh u look so effortless gorgeous in the pic!
atta girl PD! Your picture is pretty funny, hahah. Anyway, yeah there’ll always be hates. Ah well. Such is life!
haters*
I’m very glad that you are being so cool about all the nasty comments. It will be a total waste to let the comments “ruin this blog”. I’ve read those comments and gosh they are so lame (and hahaha very funny)!!
I really love this post (haters might hate you even more !) since you have proved that you are not taking the comments down on you and you’ve acted very “professional” about it.
You have such a great talent PD and of course, a great attitude to match!! Well done PD <3
I’m loving you ..errr..your blog even more!!..LOL
Clap2x for this >>>>”I have not been shopping”yay!!
Wow photoshoot…cant wait for your post on that^_^
Great !!! very positive girl !! and it is not easy i know…xxxx
A standing ovation to you on this! Most people would just retaliate back. But you don’t which shows that you have much more dignity than these haters and that’s the reason why you’re my fave blogger.
Hats off to you PD!
hmm…the only blog owner yg tak CURSE bila orang kutuk dia…u R one of a kind PD! i’m glad that u r 🙂
just ignore those lalats, k? 🙂
p/s: hope opah is doing well.
Haters are confused admirer.
Hi PD,
ur writing really inspiring young woman out there, esp it do inspire me.so keep on writing.We love you 🙂
You’re awesome!
Well said PD!! i think it’s not easy to respond to haters without being mean, at least for me.. and you’ve done it so well =) Hope i could do the same too.. and that pic is so funny and u look just a lil bit garang..hehe..have a good week! and salam to Opah!
i agree with i am sunquick! 🙂
It’s a fact of life in the blogosphere (especially Malaysian blogosphere for some reason). Once you start blogging, especially when your blog starts getting plenty of attention, there are bound to be some dengki types who would try to push you off the pedestal. These people take the fun off blogging, reading everything wrongly.
My advice to you is: Just ignore them. They’re not worth a single breath – a mere waste of space. Just continue doing what you love, the best way you know how to, and you will find that as you give them zero attention, they will drop off like dead flies, one by one.
Of all these times spent reading you, it never once occured to me that you’re a pretentious spoilt brat who loves to show off. In fact, I think you’re a pretty grounded young lady. Kudos to you! *two thumbs up*
So funny :”My poor handbags; all innocent and dunno anything, yet have been hated by some of you.”
HAHAHA.I can’t stop laughing..I love the picture!
More pictures please?Hehe
the haters must be in their PMSs. forgive them for the hormones. 🙂
keep on writing girl, i wanna read more from you.. 🙂
to those anon who think nasty comments will stop PD from blogging or will affect her life, jgnla dengki2, tak baik, kita sume ada rezeki masing2..
i pun xde designer handbags, bukan “org kaya raya” but i suka baca blog ni.. for fun.. its not that kalau VV ada chanel i pun nak kena ada gak..
those people jealous of you, i’m just guessing.
just keep doin’ your own thing.
take care.. http://borneolove.blogspot.com/
i like ur cool-ness.
keep on writing & ignore all those haters.
yang penting, u know u’re sincere & i think u’re sincere blogging about all those stuff tanpa ada rasa utk berlagak, rite?
You da bomb. With all the nonsense that’s been flying around, your good attitude sure amazes me. =)
i close my chatbox coz i alwiz take any negative comments turn it into positive one and accept it unfortunately my other readers tak. dh mcm perang komen pulak… it’s true, the only reason they post it on chatbox just bcoz they want u to feel embarrase, haihh mcm2.. but i love u still hihhi
Hi! I think u are beautiful and i am impressed by ur take on the recent nasty comments. U have a good head on ur shoulders. Soldier on!
Ohh I missed out on the chatbox war. I don’t have time to read your other posts yet but, are you really going to STOP shopping? But why? I need tips(Reading proudduck.com is research – what and where to shop – saves time) and I’m digging your style! Who cares what other people say? They’re just being funny and failed miserably. You can afford it, so go for it, it’s good for the economy PD 😉
What photoshoot? Vivy update!! Hehe. Well, for the bad comments, all I can say is like your blog title “let’s move on”. And send my hugs to Opah!
good reply PD..You know who you are..and your family and friends know yourself better..keep up your good work and ignore those unhealthy comments..Yup, some of them will make you a better person..I agree with your point no need to make it public..Some people will get hurt…Don’t worry..I will always support you..hehe..
Regards to opah and the photoshoot..dont forget to update k..take care..
Chill and relax…hugs…..
this one.this post.this situation. made me look up on you more.love <3
hai vivy…i miss the bad comment from that person, all that i can read the comment from ur good readers…just ignore the bad comment, some of them are really mean so, no point in teching them a lesson…you just be yourself…i love to read all about opah, handbags, shoes, travelling, dressing, dean, friends etc…because eventhough i can’t effort it but by reading ur story i know the prices of handbags and shoes, the picture when u go shopping to chanel, the feelings of having it…u know, maybe some of them are really jealous…but this is life when u’re born in wealthy family, that’s not ur fault…we admit we don’t but we really love to be like you…so, by reading your stories, we can make our own “tabung” to buy those things dat we like most right??? so, vivy…don’t stop at the top, touch the sky before you drop ok??? ;-))
Dear PD,
I hate rich people who thinks that they are better then anyone just cos they have more money, better looking and ‘perceived’ themselves to be a higher class then us lowly people.
I have not met you, or even talk to you but just by reading your blog, you haven proven me wrong over and over again. And because of you, I believe that they are people out there who are just like you.
You have inspire so many people, including me, just by being who you are.
Thank you for that. And also to your parents who must be so proud of you.
:p
My daughter introduced me to your blog recently and I must say I love your humour. I’m forty something going on fifty something young and I’m still crazy about fashion and handbags.It helps me bond with my daughter because we can go shopping together and have common interest. I believe it also keeps me feeling young and trim.
Keep blogging because a lot of us look forward to reading your blog everday.
MY
Hi PD, well said. Pls don’t stop blogging ok? I love your writing. Been your silent reader dah lama tau. 😉
yes! dont stop blogging ok. 🙂 girl you got ‘class’! love you handled criticism (that kind of people just plain dengki, enough said)
so what if you have tons of handbags! so what if your dad has money! god bless upon you coz you deserved it. 🙂 and these malicious rotten heart people who scrutinize n criticize you actually have the cheek to wonder why god doesnt bestow upon them nice things in life?? pfttt..
i came across your blog recently and been an avid follower since then. love your stories about opah! you have a heart of gold.
love your travelling and shopping stories! 🙂 and more opah updates pls! look forward to your writing everyday! *hugs*
How can anyone hate you? 🙂
Those reads you through blogs likes you.
I bet those read you through your mind LOVES you.
u go girl!
i want to leave a comment too can i?heheh
I`ve been reading a lot of blogs.
and i can say i am the kind of people `yg ade penyakit di dalam hati huhuh`
believe me.it`s just hard to not get envy etc.
but how we manage it?leave the blog and never read it.
but to my suprised,never an inch do i feel envy or anything with u.
infact,i want to ask u,do your opah have a biography book or anything?or could u write it for her?heheh
curious.how she manage to grew a humble successful dad of yours,n great grandchildren of u n your sis,even she doenst know a single english word heheh
salam mubarak PD!
semga ramdhan ini lebih baik dari sebelumnya
vivy, you’re awesome! opah is wonderful too. i honestly think your family brought you up very, very right. bravo!
ive been reading ur blog since ever! i started reading it when it was only a few months old. look where u r now.. so keep going vivy!! of course there’re times when u post bout the handbags stories or ur shopping trips, i cringe in jealousy thinking how lucky u r(not in a bad way)… but i keep on wanting more.. hahahha. coz u feed me good stories :-p
so why not this coming ramadhan, feed us ur loyal readers, the other side of u; the story of ramadhan n its blessings 🙂 since ur writing does affect ppl, u can encourage ppl, put some lessons, educate ppl with prophet muhammad’s sunnah during ramadhan.. writing is a powerful tool. use it well, dear 😀
I love you PD!
PD, I gotta say kudos on this entry — you tackled it admirably! What’s a handful of lalats compared to 1000’s of other PD-lovers huh? 😉
Hats off to you and please don’t stop shopping! (Sorry, am an enabler!)
Haha, just stumbled to your blog and I get to read this? But love your sense of humour, and yes, it’s not worth it. It’s just people feeding their ego to make them feel superior over you…
Does it matter?
No… prefer zen everytime… cause you know who you really are!
Sides, there’s many too who think otherwise!
Trust me, if they could be in your shoes, they would. People get so upset and talk so bad about “privileged” kids, but the truth is, if they were offered that privilege they would not turn it down.
Jealousy is ugly. And so is Envy.
Please don’t stop writing!
hands down , a professional mock down.;P
wowers. i bet this blog post has the most hits out of all your other blog posts. =P Congrats! you turned something negative into something super positive.
I love your blog so much and please don’t stop writing…PD rocks 🙂
Lovin this post.
Yay! Vivy rocks and PD makes my day!
BS with those haters, simply they’re jealous!
vivy darling, ignoring doesnt mean u loose.ur just being wiser!
You rocks, PD! We just can’t stop what people think or say, but we do have a choice to do things we feel is right for ourself. Stay strong, I’m sure there are so many out there on your side. I love to read about your hauls, your thoughts of life, the way you perceives things from different angles and etc. Keep up the good work, and please do not stop blogging 😀
Oh sangat classic lah your reply. If it was me, hergh. Amarahhhh. But then, biaselah mereka-mereka golongan puaka ni. Pegi lah jadi tiang lampu ke apa, berguna jugak kan. Ni tidak. Menyemak je tau kerjanya. Hmmph.
PD, your blog is just awesome. 🙂
Well blogged! Keep it up! 🙂
really? i haven’t been reading the shoutout box closely now..
hoho..
keep up the good work..
its what people are attracted to read too anyway..
…And that is the spirit we all want!!! Yeah!!! May Allah bless you and everyone..
my lil sis introduce me to your blog recently and i’ve been hooked up ever since! it’s a must for me to read all your updates and your writing is what i like most! you’re an inspiration to other blog writers out there, just like me! two thumbs up for the way you handle the negativity as we do need it once in a while to upgrade ourselves rite? hehe.
anyway, little that i know that our paths had crossed before, but that would be in another post/comment. what i can take from reading your blog is that you’re totally different from what i was told about you (we haven’t met personally, yet) and i’m loving the one that i’m reading daily now. sometimes, jealousy does gets to some people. the best way to handle life is just by being the way you are. i’m learning that everyday.
all the best PD. i know you’re making everyone proud of you! 🙂
Chin up, Proudduck!
Your conscience is clear. Just be yourself and ignore dem haters.
hey gal! dont be deterred by such things. i know you won’t 🙂 there are so much negativity in this world, PD exudes no such thing. keep it going..
it’s one of the mean to keep sane in this stressful-mundane job of mine, by drooling over your bags..hehe.
good job gal!!
i think u are a sweet and nice person. love your effort done for Mdm Chan.
and love yr fashion style! classy. keep blogging. let the haters say what they want, they are simply envious.

jealous ppl(or perhaps just 1 little pest)..huh they just cant see other ppl getting the attn n spotlite..go PD go ..we love u ur opah ur blog ur handbags n everyth bout PD !!
Waa..ive been away for a while and already i’ve missed this whole HATERs drama. But knowing you through your writing, I’m sure you won’t quit blogging just because of that. Just be yourself, and keep on writing as always yea! *HUGS*
ther’s nothing more to say coz i feel that your loyal readers, old and new had said more than enuff on what we all feel for proudduck and this blog! =) i always feel that if u try to please those who hated you, u might end up displeasing the ppl who actually like you coz yeah, it’s a not a win-win situation. for a 22 yr. old, u are very matured..so hats off to you. *ok, i’m wearing hijab..but cannot open the hijab lah kan? nanti dosa! hehe* even at my age, i don’t think i could have done a better entry than yours. keep it up PD, we are all proud of you. =)
