Pinoy Wasteland

Sometimes, I will be reminded of how I was in the Internet by the notifications I have on the email. May panahon kasi na halos lahat pinapatos ko. Tulad ng kung anu-anong social networking websites lalo na nung college ako. Minsan nakalimutan ko na.

Kanina lamang naka-receive ako ng message mula sa flork na may PM ako. And I received a message from an exquisite-looking Caucasian lady commenting on my profile (something I have not updated since the time that I still had electro-charged brain cells functioning). I hate how I’ve gotten stupid. Not that I have been smart to begin with. Hahaha!

And I am still constantly reminded by 43 things to gain weight every week. Letse! Kailangan ba ipamukha sa akin na kailangan ko na magpataba!

But in a way, it is a good thing that I am reminded that I used to read a lot of books and I should gain weight.

Sabi na nga ba! Dapat kong mag-Internet lagi.

Real social life – zero! Once thriving Internet social life - nil!

Na-miss ko na ang pagbabasa ng fantasy, recently binasa ko yung The Hobbit ni Tolkien at naisip ko, it would be cool if I have my temporary template to be using Tolkien. Just temporarily. Pansin nyo si Gandalf naglalakad sa Shire.

Oh! My geekier girlfriend told me of a site that generates Middle-Earth names. And using my full name (including maiden name), I came out with these:

According to the Red Book of Westmarch,
In Middle-earth, jeeper (name withheld for security reasons) was a
Lonely Ent

Elven Name Possibilities
The root name suitable for feminine and masculine is:
Nilfin
Another masculine version is:
Nilfinion

Hobbit lad name: Mosco Tussock from Greenfields

Dwarven Name: Garin Brassanger
This name is for both genders.

Orkish Name: Azghash the Sleazy
This name is for both genders.

I am still working for an idea on what to do with my blog.

Nanuod pala ako ng Bioman sa DVD, madrama pala ang ending. At sobrang nalungkot ako nang mamatay yung kontrabida na si Zeroid.

I have nothing to do. Work is draining me of my life essence, I think. Next year, I will be considering other career options. I don’t want to burden my feeble mind anymore.

Surfing the net. I have no idea what to do. I really don’t have anything in mind that feels suitable enough to write about.

(more…)

This will be the first time I’ll be making an official post on this domain name. I transferred all my posts and comments from my old blogger account (I will always hold a special spot for blogger in my heart because it was my first). I read somewhere that you can also transfer your comments from Haloscan but when I opened it, none of them is there anymore so unfortunately I will never know if it really works. Darn them.

Walang mag-ko-comment sa ka-simplehan nito, dapat aayusin ko pa sya pero nagrereklamo si maldito na di sya maka-comment. And yeah, it’s been a long time since I paid for the registry and took me sometime to convince someone to loan me 10 dollars for the domain mapping, so I probably spent around 900 pesos for this.

 It’s a work in progress, so a lot of the pages are still drafts, I will be adding more once I get in the mood.

Don’t you just hate it when you go to friendster and they have something new in it… I don’t mind the new features pero minsan nakakaasar. Tulad ng testimonial tapos may comments, after a few days pinagsama nila yung Testimonial and Comments. Sa bagay di ko sila masisis kasi may mga tao na di ma-differentiate yung testimonials and comments, may naggawa sa akin ng testi tapos sa comments nailagay. Then I really don’t like it when people send messages sa testimonials. O! Why do these people send chain messages at friendster! It’s bad enought that I have to delete them on my email, pati dun meron pa. Kung di ko lang sila kilala, irereklamo ko sila as spammers. Baka nga mareklamo lang ako.

OK din yung feature na pwede ka mag-send ng group messages, medyo mahirap nga lang gamitin yung feature kasi nagso-scroll ka tapos i-ho-hold mo pa yung Ctrl button habang kini-click, nahirapan ako dun… mahirap pa dun yung pag identify ng mga tao, meron kasi akong dalawang donna P., at may mga tao pa na naglalagay ng kung anu-anong names tulad Diyosa at kunga anu-ano pa na may special characters… I really don’t get it why they like it that way.

sinubukan ko mag-upload ng picture, syet! Hindi na-upload dahil over 1MB. Tamad pa naman ako mag-resize ng pictures and it goes as well with other websites. Kaya masaya ako sa mga websites na automatically nag-re-resize ng pictures. Naisip ko naman baka OA lang ako sa reklamo. Naalala ko tuloy yung isang caller nag-reklamo tungkol sa hirap nya mag attach ng photofile, nang tanungin ko kung gaano kalaki, nasa 30 MB (that must be one really big picture). So maybe I am being unreasonable.

I guess I am not totally dissatisfied with friendster.. I think it’s still better than myspace that I find too cluttered at least anudun pa rin yung minimalism na gusto ko (except when you go to profiles).

That’s my relationship with friendster, I hate and I love it. Pakyu friendster!

Wello at this time and age, the Internet is a basic tool of modern living. Myself in particular. But we all have out favorites. Lately I am busying myself with bolgs such as this.

All these memberships I have madalas ‘ni di ko na nagagamit anymore. I cancelled my http://myspace.com account because all the people who add me up are gay people. Huh! Maybe its the picture. besides, myspace has little privay, anybody with connection can view your profile and your entries. Haay! Kahit papaano, http://friendster.com still is the best way to keep connected with those u havent gotten in touch with. 3 Years ago, Napakapanget ng service nito, but at least noon, I was in because not everyone has the aforementioned account. The service has definitely gotten better. I would only be disappointed if the minimalistic and uncluttered look would change. Because of the trend nagkaroon ng trend, naglabasan ang Pinoyster, Hipstir, Itzamatch. I have memberships with the stated pero i havent checked it for sometime na. Merong http://mukamo.com, which is better thasb some pero, I want my accounts to be more specialized. It has forums but I like using PEX for that.

Hassle nga lang yung sending of messages so I still opt for Yahoo! Apparently everyone has an account and it has so many features. I just dont like joining some restricted groups kasi if u dont check in like a fewe days puno na ang mailbox mo!

What the Hell is PEX?! It is http://pinoyexchange.com, regulars of the site are called PEXers. I like the RoT(Realm of thought) Forum the most. Di ko na sasabihin yung username ko kasi I might be the one na umaaway sa inyo(or sa akin). Here u can discuss silly topics(like underwear) to the socially relevant and the philosophical. OK talaga, Once u try it, u become addicted to go everyday.

I will have this updated soon…….
