Before your comments section gets to your head and make you more insufferable, know that you’re not special or exceptional. If the commenters praising you weren’t in fact you posing as other people to give the impression you were knowledgable, then they are ignorant and delusional if they think this was a useful post in any way: if any one of nutcase23, Xak, Gambonitis, tj_han, jpmeyer, Kurogane, ExecutiveOtaku, omonomono, Faye, Ubiquitial, Cosmos, Triggs, noodles, David00_00, motochan, amindscape, Rololita, Sair, tsk, Runner, imthename, Constance and Lexy, are in fact legitimate accounts, then each and every one of you have much to learn if you thought Dark Mirage was anything approaching insightful and helpful with this post. usagijen: this post is not newspaper worthy, and any high school student would know whether or not a scholarship was for them after reading the terms (and perhaps consulting with the right people). motochan: you’ll be hearing from me real soon.

DarkMirage: also know that I am aware that Solitairebride and youngirl were fake comments you posted to give the impression that young women found you inspirational. Pathetic, really: if your article was really so inspiring, insightful and valuable, why would you feel the need to signal-boost yourself? At any rate, given the age of this article, one hopes you’re up to better things than convincing the world you’re some sort of prodigy whose anime opinions were worth anything. Simply put, you’re not a prodigy, and you’re not worth listening to. A handful of people agreeing with and praising you doesn’t mean a whole lot. One more thing: I know that you saw yourself as a “celebrity” in the anime blogging circles because you once got linked to on Danny Choo after translating one of his talk shows. Despite this, your blog’s been dead for the better bit of the past decade. One hopes it stays that way, or, you could do the world a favour and stop renewing the domain. The internet’s better off without your condescending, pretentious ramblings, and you’d save a few bucks.

For everyone else out there, any comment with the Singapore flag beside them that date back a ways, with a female-sounding voice, was probably Dark Mirage himself trying to give the impression that young women actually found this article useful. It’s a clever way of convincing male readers to agree, although once the reality is made known, is rather less effective.

Why I did not accept my PSC Scholarship offer – Ramblings of DarkMirage

just a side note, what struck me most while reading was that- how did you get through all those excruciating interviews which would definitely venture into your passion in public service and your commitment level for them. did you commitment level changed after your interviews or have you not considered all of the above while applying. also, what made you have this kind of, well, epiphany?
