i actually checked my own chucks just to make sure. fortunately, it is converse. whew.
friendster bulletins. there's something i barely read nowadays. i used to enjoy reading and answering those silly surveys as they come, but i guess i dont find them that interesting anymore. not that i dont want to find out more about my friends. it's just that, you know, letting people know things they don't know about you has become quite... meh. sorry, cant find the right word. it's like this: way back before when nobody had an ipod (or knew about apple and macs), i wanted to have an ipod. fast forward to the present where everybody's got one (even though some of them still know nothing about apple and macs), so now, i don't want to have an ipod anymore. i have a nokia 3250 and it plays mp3s just as well. anyways, i checked my friendster account for any messages, requests or testimonials, and once again, nada zilcho. but one friendster bulletin caught my bespectacled eyes. it went "i am single, so i must be ugly". clicked it to find out more. the bulletin had a bunch of these stereotypical statements (like "im a guy, so i must only want to get in your pants" and "i have straight a's, so i must not have a social life"), and you were supposed to choose one that best fits you and put it as a title and post as a bulletin to annoy your friends with. i picked one but didn't bother to bother my friendster friends with it, and instead, i'll use it as a great segue for the real purpose of this blog entry:
"i am not like everyone else, so i must be a loser".
you see, i have not won anything in my life. im talking about tangible winnings because i did win some nerdy contests in high school. but as far as i can remember, i never got anything through winning, especially the ones that rely on luck, which you can brag about around. that's why i don't like gambling. i feel like im gonna end up losing all my money instead of doubling it. there was this one time where i emailed myx and won tickets to the oasis concert. but then the concert got cancelled (thanks abu sayyaf), so that doesn't count. anyways, im talking about this crap about winning because ive just been chosen as one of the nominees for blog of the week in the composed gentleman's blog. do i expect to win? honestly, no. it would depend, of course, on the number of votes i get which i am in no way forcing any of you to cast against your will. it's your internet connection, so it's up to you if you will allow me such privilege. but i am deeply honored, flattered, and grateful to even be considered for it. i guess somebody does appreciate what i do here... thanks, dude.
intermission... you can read my saw iii review here.
it's talkback time! beginning with the bloodboard:
franco: thanks for liking the theme. im always trying out something new, coming up with new ideas for my blog. sure hope you and the other visitors will like the future ones as much.
jean.movie: funny, i wasn't trying to be funny. but thanks for pointing that out and for checking me out, i mean, my blog.
talksmart: again, dude, thanks for the nomination. never expected something like that. good luck to me and the other nominees. may the best blog win. for the week, at least.
patty: here you go, patty-cake. see you again, okay?
din-din: been very busy. i was supposed to post one last week but i had tasks to accomplish, a couple of which i failed to. do you watch heroes? i wish had hiro's power to bend time and space...
cheska: i haven't watched the anime. i just saw him on a dvd cover and decided to use him as an avatar because he resembles me. or i resemble him? anyways, ive changed my profile pic now.
tina: hello, tina. welcome.
wigie: dude, i miss you. still unsure whether to go and work there or not.
comments talkback:
din-din: yeah. can't help it. love always is beyond one's control. it's good to hear that i have your support on this. kinda weird actually because just about everyone ive talked to about this has encouraged me to push through...
red_pl8: sickeningly sweet, how nice of you to put it that way. how about sweetly sickening?
well, that's that. gotta make like a banana and split. ive got to watch heroes episode 12. anyways... that's the gospel according to skizzy. thanks be to kafka.
p.s. i noticed only now that the most comments i got was from a post where i viciously attacked religion. as an experiment, i'll try to punch in a few blasphemous blabber next time.
p.p.s. shaila likes joss stone. so i downloaded one of her albums, burned it and printed the labels. i'll give it to her on tuesday. am i obsessed or what?

not just converse but a lot of other brands that would make you take a second look at what you are buying.
nice blog :)
yeah, i noticed you changed it. so now you look like that guy? =)
You have a point. It's kinda cool to have/enjoy something not much people knows about. But when it turns to a trend, not so much anymore.
Oh and once upon a time, I too was a slave to friendster bulletin surveys. Then I realized how lame it was.
i am sick of friendster that i deleted my account. the act, in turn, gave me more peace of mind.
attack religion? i'm fond of doing that.
sweetly sickening is really hard to imagine. it's so twisted that it's so cool.
you look like harry potter with more facial hair.
