elation

The Davids, Archuleta and Cook, are coming to the Philippines on MAY 16! Just found out few minutes ago, thanks to Kuya Victors, Plurk. Naeskandalo sa’kin si Mumu (she didn’t go to the office today) dahil tili ako ng tili at sabi niya baka marinig ako ng mga kapitbahay. But I don’t care! Imma be watching this concert! Oh please may my funds suffice! Haha. I love both of them although initially I was so into Cookie, but listening to both their albums made me an Archie convert now. (Archienoys ang tawag sa mga Archie fans dito sa Philippines.) And my parents love them both too!

Another thing to be elated about: I’m really having a fun time @ Pet Society! Just a while ago my pet Wenggoy Jr. garnered more trophies, then we played ball and jumping rope, visited a lot of our friends, dropped notes and thanked them for their gifts. Sweetness! He’s in Level 5, “Fresh Face”. I’m not really in a hurry, I’m just enjoying my stay coz it’s really fun! The last time I became hooked with virtual pets was back in high school, when I became totally addicted to Neopets. I wonder how it’s doing now. Hehe

Just a while ago, I had a chat with one of i.ph’s representatives for their live support. I had to consult them because I had problems installing my widgets (such as plurk and feedjit) and I was amazed that they really do have this representative available for consultation. Thank you again, Ms. Jonah! At the same time I was also scouting the web for some sources that would possibly talk about the installation of these widgets, then I found this site of kundiman, wrote about the pros and cons of i.ph. There was a particular con she mentioned, about i.ph bloggers having less freedom to customize their site and stuff. And with that, I realized that I am a low-maintenance kind of person who doesn’t want to do pretty much everything and is more often than not contended with what’s available. If it suits my needs and doesn’t cost much (the money factor applying to gadgets and the like), then I’m cool with it. Besides, I can’t really give much time in customizing my site with all the CSS and HTML work, although I know a thing or two (or maybe more! Haha) about it. But of course, this is a question of choices and preferences. Freedom! Haha.

Speaking of not having much time, it’s because I want to do a lot of things! Haha. Stuff to read, movies/series to watch, things to write about, songs to listen to, the list goes on and on and on. That’s why I’m really looking forward to my vacation so I could begin doing all these things! WIthout anything to bother me. Sometimes I actually feel that I’m more excited about the vacation rather than the graduation! Pretty weird of me, right?

Now that I have a new blog, I feel more motivated again to share different kinds of things, indefinitely.  With Plurk I always get to share, but of course the character limitation per plurk is always a bit challenging, especially when I want to write longer. Haha.

Other random thoughts:

*the new Biogesic Kids ad is cool. Minimalistic, using the animated “B” in Biogesic to illustrate mother and child. Sweet.

*ganda rin ng bagong MTV ng Itchyworms para sa “Gusto Ko Lang Sa Buhay”. Concept inspired by the Free Hugs event in UP (which, according to Panky, actually originated in another country - still have to look that up! Haha. Feel-good video and song that talks about the joy of having someone by your side albeit you’re not rich or famous.

*lastly, I found this from one of my folders:
