Many moons had passed since I last posted in my blog. Now, I know many of you are asking why I stopped writing. Well, the truth is sometimes stranger than fiction.
The story started many months ago when I tied my Blogger account to my Gmail account, or so I thought at the moment. You see, when we tie a Blogger account with a Gmail account, we had to key in our Gmail address and also provide the correct password to the Gmail account. After a successful tie-in, you only had to key in the Gmail address and the password to the Gmail account to gain access to your Blogger account therefore making away with a separate username to the blog.
Say for instance, my gmail is AAAbbb@gmail.com with the password ‘ccc’. I remembered the username wrongly and I keyed in bbbAAA@gmail.com with the password ‘ccc’ and voila, it goes through. I didn’t suspect anything was amiss since I hardly use the Gmail account anyway. After all why should I since I can provide the correct password.
Many months had passed until one fine day I discovered that I can’t login to my Blogger account anymore. I then proceeded to try to login to the bbbAAA@gmail.com account and discovered that I can’t login either. Just out of sheer curiosity, I tried AAAbbb@gmail.com and when I see my own inbox it finally hit me that I had tied my blog to a total stranger all these while. A stranger residing in another country with a similar name as me but not quite me.
This stranger must have changed the password and with that, I can’t access my blog either. Holy crap! I tried emailing Google for help but to no avail. I also tried getting help from forums and discussion sites but to success whatsoever either. As a last resort, I even emailed the owner of the bbbAAA@gmail.com account for help but the bitch wasn’t responding. What’s a bad ass chick to do?
So last weekend, after half a year of frustation, I decided that all avenues had been exhausted and decided to do the unmentionable. All I can say now is, it feels good to be back! Hip hip hooray!!!
