April Fool's!

Wow, already April. Every time I write a new post, it's a new month. Craziness. Getting old sucks.

A lot of things have happened in between aside from the family emergency. One thing I wanted to talk about was fraud.

You may have read recently that a 22 year old kid from Ancaster, ON was arrested for allegedly being part of the largest hack of Yahoo. This kid lived in a big home by himself, drove luxury cars and had loud parties. It was found that he was paid by Russian hackers to hack into 80 email accounts of government officials. He also ran an ad for hacking jobs.

Basically, this guy was not working legally to earn his items.

It was also found that the house had a huge mortgage, and the cars still had loans on them. He was also all over social media, portraying a luxury party life. People who are his "friends" don't even know his last name, nor what he does as a job. There's one chick who came out in the public to defend this "good friend" of hers, yet she had no idea what he did as a job, nor did she know his last name.

Yet she calls him her best friend. LOL. Best friends with his so called money. She emphasized that he paid for meals and what not. So yeah, the way I see it, she's friend's with his money.

Anyways, point is, if you know you're a hacker and you've hacked into one of the world's biggest corporations, you shouldn't be flaunting your entire life on social media. You should be in hiding. This guy's a goon for flaunting his fake status all over, and fooling so many people. I have friends who know this guy and they're all like, what? That's impossible.

Then of course he posts on social media about how he got "rich" quick, and it all started with how he got expelled from school because 1) he threatened his friend and 2) he swore at his principal when she asked him if he learned his lesson. He used his time being suspended/expelled to start his "own business (i.e the hacker business). To me, that's not a positive influence on other people. It just makes you look like a bigger douchebag, and not the legal way to be making your money.

Now of course he may also be smart in ways that he knew this was going to happen, and being sent to the USA for trial, but afterwards having the government hire him to work for them. But honestly, why would a government trust people like these? If someone is able to do this behind your back, would you trust them to work for you? I wouldn't. I'd keep his ass in jail and make sure he stays there.

This guy is also part of those big car rally clubs, namely Northface Rally and Saturn Drives.

Which brings me to Northface Rally. Again.

You may have seen on the news today that members from the NFR club got their cars impounded and licenses suspended because they were driving like douchebags. When I heard about this, I couldn't help but laugh. They deserve it.

If you're going to drive like a douchebag and endanger the lives of other people on the highway/roads, then you deserve to lose your license and have your car impounded or crushed. I wish they would just automatically crush cars but that wouldn't be "fair". I guess it will have to take a lot of deaths before they decide to do that.

Anyways, they deserve it because 1) they're douchebags 2) they're the ones who were caught revving their cars because they were asked to leave a Wings place 3) disturbing the peace many times 4) they harass people for no apparent reason 5) they don't deserve the cars because earning money through insurance scams is by no means legal.

My handbags values may only buy a set of rims for your luxury cars, but at least the bank doesn't own my bags. Nor did I ask mommy or daddy to buy them for me.

Let me tell you from my perspective how I lost respect for them. It started last fall, when NFR decided to have a toy drive.

They started a toy drive, and asked others to donate toys for families (Toys for Tots). One member shared it on the GTR page and said let's do it. However, the GTR group had already had a drive happening so it was written that we will do a separate drive for Toys and Tots.

Then the NFR guys started going off about how they didn't appreciate that we wouldn't contribute to theirs and left the group. They posted photos and showed how many toys they bought/collected, and then posed with the police from OPP to get their name out there. Whoopee doo.

People think, well if we involve the cops, then they will be cool with us. You wish. If they were so cool with you, they wouldn't impound your fake cars.

Soon after that, that's when the NFR hate began. The harassments. The name calling. Constantly. It's worse than dealing with a 5 year old kid with a tantrum. So do I respect people associated with NFR? Not at all. They aren't a positive influence to anyone except their little brains. So they deserve every damn thing that comes to them. Too bad mommy and daddy will pay for the impound fees, then they will start all over again.

In other positive news, I finally got to visit the Coco Cafe. Today was the last day that the cafe would be up. I have seen pictures and thought, well there is coffee and tea, so maybe there might be snacks too along with their make up items?

Boy, was I wrong.

Coco Cafe at Holt Renfrew Toronto.

It turned out it was a pop up lip stick/nail polish salon where you get to sample pretty much everything. There was an area you could take pictures to Instagram it. Girlfriend and I spent a lot of time there, mainly because I was struggling to put on nail polish on myself.

After doing that, we were hungry but were approached by associates asking if we needed help with anything. I was debating between two shades of lip stick and so that took another century to figure out. We both bought Chanel lipstick and lipgloss at the end. Props to finally buying lipstick. Yes, sad to say all my lipsticks have been samples/free. It only took 30 years to buy a proper lipstick.

omg....so many options. Where do I even start?!

Upon showing mom, she asked what colour? I said it was something neutral. She said it was too red. Then she asked how much the lipstick cost. I said $43. She freaked. To be honest, I have no clue how much lip stick costs these days. But I figured if it's a Chanel lipstick, it ain't going to cost $10. She thought I was crazy, and so did I. 

Soon after we hit up Saks at Fifth Avenue. It was almost empty. It felt so weird walking into Saks and not have any shoppers in there. It was actually quite nice. If you know what item to buy, you can do it there in peace and not have to fight anyone to get anything. But since we had nothing to buy there, we quickly jetted out. It wasn't too impressive, but I found Nordstrom was much more busier.

The nice weather is finally coming, and hopefully it will start to stay. But I wouldn't be surprised if there's another snowstorm coming.

Great to say mom is also doing much better. There is still room for improvement, but it's encouraging to see her back to herself now, although the post concussion syndromes are still there. It is still difficult to head to the mall with all the lights and what not. Hopefully it shouldn't be too long until she can walk around the mall again.

Hoping you all have a great start to your week.
