SAYING that she felt that her privacy had been invaded, a Filipina blogger decided last week to end her public online journal or blog.
In an e-mail to INQ7.net, Filipina blogger "transience" (http://northern-way.blogspot.com/ ) confirmed taking down her blog after a recent incident involving hate e-mails and identity theft.
She said some parties had stolen her identity and used an e-mail address that was ostensibly hers to spread hate messages.
In her August 9 posting, she wrote: "Just this morning, I received word that some controversial e-mail—penned in my name—has been forwarded to my company. The depth of hate of the one responsible for this appalls me. I did not write such an e-mail and I do not own the e-mail address i.transience@gmail.com," she explained.
A professional working in Manila, transience told INQ7.net that she has decided to take a breather from blogging because of the emotional trauma from this recent experience.
"I am in the process of euthanizing my sites, mostly because of the reasons you've cited. But my arguably "mature" content wasn't the reason to blame. This sordid affair was a personal attack, and unfortunately, the offending party/parties merely used my online material against me," she added in a comment on this writer's personal blog (http://cyberbaguioboy.com.ph/blogs-and-blogging/one-of-philippines-sexiest-blogger-writes-30).
Transience also requested that her actual identity not be disclosed due to the incident. She said, however, that the incident would not stop her blogging somewhere else.
Her poetic and honest style of writing on her blog "To Norway on a Bicycle" landed her a place on the list of "The Sexiest Filipina Bloggers" in another blog called "Basang Panaginip" or Wet Dream (http://basangpanaginip.blogspot.com/2006/02/sexiest-filipina-bloggers.html).
"Many times reading her blog entries, I am lulled into a dream, floating in the inner sanctum of her transcendence. Of all the Philippine bloggers, she most resembled the spirit of Anais Nin. Transience is a woman of daunting surreal brilliance. Her shifting fierceness warms, caress," Basang Panaginip described the Filipina blogger.
Nin was a French-born author known for her published diaries and erotica.
