on finals and friendster…
Tuesday, October 4th, 2005it’s finals week again for me. finals week for me always means shutting myself up in our study room and beating up my brain with hard hitting facts (lame pun, i know. bare with me. i’ve studied my butt out for four straight days already).
finals week also means that my dad would start loading me with…
no, not questions about whether or not i’m studying.
he loads me with garlic crunch flavored peanuts.
i am not kidding.
(ciara is now laughing at the fact that the roman emperor nero used to drive around his chariot naked. well…he WAS off his rocker)
if i haven’t been brushing my teeth more than i usually do, i’d probably have garlic breath by now.
why has papa been dumping nuts on my study desk, you ask? well, i think there’s a saying that eating nuts would make you memorize facts faster. i guess that’s it.
but hello?? he could’ve bought me nuts that have a different flavor. ones that wouldn’t give me bad breath!
but i have to admit, those nuts were good. i finished nearly half of the pack.
papa told me earlier today, "ang lakas mong umubos ng mga nuts na yan ah" with a smirk.
i retorted that it was he who was finishing half of it, that’s why i’m getting a new pack of nuts everyday.
okay, enough about finals. my mind is beat-up already as it is.
now, about friendster…
this new feature on "who’s viewing me" is a real bummer. i mean, it’s good that you would get to see who’s viewing your profile and stuff, but it’s not good when it’ll be YOUR turn to view people’s profile.
it’s not good when you’re stalking someone in friendster and the only protection you have is your anonymity.
ciara’s classmates were complaining, "hindi na ‘ko makapag-stalk sa crush ko!"
to which i can only say:
SO TRUE!
i mean, it’s bad enough that you don’t get the chance to stare at your crush whenever he/she is near you because he/she might catch you staring at him/her (in my case it’s a "him"…duh…), you don’t need THIS friendster thing to let him/her know that you like him/her!
and, come to think about it, friendster is, like, my sanctuary. in crush terms, i mean. you can stalk your crush/es and other people’s crushes. like for instance, i’m making gaye and tesa read my crush’s profile. if my crush sees these people viewing his profile, he’d be able to trace it back to ME! which would make it TOTALLY OBVIOUS! and who’d want that? i sure wouldn’t.
plus, i’m viewing gaye’s and tesa’s crushes too! i wouldn’t want to be the cause of their crushes discovering that THEY like THEM. (am i making sense here?)
oh well…guess i’ll have to accept the fact that i won’t be able to "stalk" my crush from now on.
unless…
hm, i just got a bright idea.
i might be able to view other people’s accounts in anonimity after all.
gotta go!
