It seems that a lot of people are getting hooked on the Wonder Girls and their song Nobody. With the songs catchy tune and the cute dance steps, who wouldn't be so hooked?
This song's got a lot of people watching the video and/or listening to the song over and over again. Others, on the other hand, are doing way more than just watching. I've got a lot of friends admitting to doing their own version of this song (you know who you are, guys!haha). Just a few moments ago I saw this clip with a guy going all out on his Wonder Girls addiction.
Here's a video of a uniformed korean policeman doing his own version of the Wonder Girls' Nobody. I know it's a bit blurry but still really funny. If you look closely, you'll find that everyone in this video is actually one and the same person! haha.
Man, this dude's got moves.
Thanks to Zel for the heads up on this video! Loved it!
Wonder Girls Fever
looking back...
I was just scrolling through the blog portion of my multiply account... It's funny seeing everything I've written over the years. Man, I do blog a lot. They don't make much sense most of the time, though, i must admit. haha.
I found one post I particularly liked. It's the one I wrote right after my first modular term. It's really amusing reading this one. I liked it so much that I'm reposting it below.
MOD: The Aftershock
after 3 gruelling months, 6 submodules, 4 books bought, 2 books photocopied, 6 pads of worksheets, 5 long expandable folders, 2 journal notebooks, 5 fillers, 8 black pens, 2 rulers, tons of vitamin C's and paracetamol tablets, 8 rolls of tissue, piles and piles of bond paper,and a loooong list of homeworks, MOD-term is officially over. whew!
the last term was the most stressful three months of my life and i'd give up anything not to experience that kind of stress again. ok, maybe i won't give up everything, but you get the idea, right? that last term was definitely filled with a roller coaster of emotions. one minute i was having a blast with my new friends, the next i was crying my eyes out. bummer i wouldn't be free from this pain until i graduate from la salle (or until i get kicked out of the program. which i hope would never happen.Ü) ...the funny thing about that is, i'm complaining about how stressed i was in mod but still find myself doing homework as a way of spending my long awaited term break. weird, i know.
despite the fact that mod-term felt more like a whole term of hellweeks, it wasn't all bad. i really think being enrolled in the modulars program has its perks. one is the that mod helped me make a bunch of new friends and acquaintances. i also got to find out what the perfect studying technique would be helpful for me. and it really took quite a while before i figured that one out. crap. i also learned a lot and made a few realizations in that past three months.
let me share those thoughts with you. to remind my classmates of the "joys" of being an accounting student enrolled in the modulars program, and to help out future mod takers, i guess. although i don't guarantee that anything written after this paragraph would be sensible enough to help them out -- yah, right shei. like the paragraphs before this was actually sensible!haha. (ok, that was me taking to myself. enough of that. Ü)
FRAMEWORK. one thing you need to consider when you're enrolled in mod is the way you study. i know that sounds too nerdy, but it really counts. i, for one, had to experiment on four different studying techniques before i finally did well okay.
INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES. this, i believe, is one of the best tips i got from my modfin prof. invest in books. it really helps. it would aid you in doing your homeworks because they usually ask you to do heaps of homework before they even teach you about it. and they're really helpful for reviewing for exams too. saves you from the hassle of having to photocopy chapters the day before the exam. and trust me that by the end of the first few mod subjects you'll learn to love Vallix and his pracone. trust me. but mind you, books would help you only if you would ACTUALLY read them, okay?
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS. trust me when i say that being enrolled in mod costs a fortune -- and i'm not talking about the tuition fee. you need to buy books - and there are a lot of them. you need to have a few other things photocopied. then you also have to research for case presentations and critique papers. you wouldn't survive with a single pen as well. okay, so maybe that wouldn't cost much. you would also need an average of one pad of worksheet every submodule and a folder for each module too.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS. you know how they tell you that all you need to do to pass is to study? well, my friend, let me tell you this. they're definitely lying. it takes more than that. first of all, you need to add prayers to everything you do. also you need to have been born with an unbelievable amount of luck. and last but not the least, you have to be really, really, really NERDY. yup, you read that one right. NERDY. i'm really serious about that. you don't have to look like one, though. it's bad enough that you have to study like a nerd, you don't need to dress like one.Ü
DEPRECIATION. One thing every bsa student should beware of is the pressure that mod brings to any student. you would be surprised at how your self confidence decreases as the term progresses. you may start the term with full confidence then just breakdown weeks after. if you do reach the point that you can't help but breakdown and cry, don't worry. it's normal. it's like a trend actually. you'll get used to it.Ü
EQUIVALENT UNITS OF PRODUCTION. ok, in this topic i've got A LOT to say, bear with me. no matter what you do, finishing your homework is going to be really hard. it's possible, but really difficult. you see, these homeworks are not the usual do-the-ten-item-exercise-from-your-book kind of homework. they're more of a "do the ten exercises from your book, plus the practice questions, and all the problems. and don't forget doing the classroom exercises and homeworks from your handout" kind of homework. yes, you read right. they ask students to do the classroom exercises as homeworks. never mind the fact that it's called "classroom exercises." you have to do it. and the worst part is, they expect it done and ready for the discussion the following day. fun, isn't it?Ü now in this kind of situation, there are three options. one, you make your homeworks after class and make sure everything you answer is right and never mind the fact that you were unable to answer a few problems here and there. two, you try to finish the homework not minding whether your answers are right or not. or three, be a nerd and do everything way before deadline so you wouldn't be cramming. option three sounds good, but really draining. if you go for option one or two, just hope and pray your prof wouldn't check each student's homework. worst case scenario would be being ambushed by the prof's sudden decision to give you an instruction like this one: "ok, (insert name here), answer problem 10-5 on the board, and explain it once you're done." that one usually sends my heart thumping real hard. specially when i have no idea what to do with that particular problem. and most of the time, we don't. that's why they call it a problem. makes you go bonkers. in situations like these, it helps to have a good samaritan for a seat mate. good samaritan: n. meaning someone willing to help you out when he/she knows that you have absolutely no idea what the teacher wants you to do.
Oh, the memories... I really do love this one. haha.
just a little something to ponder on...
Did you ever look at a picture of yourself and see a stranger in the background? It makes you wonder how many people have pictures of you, how many moments of other people's lives we've been in. Were we part of someone's life when their dream came true, or were we there when their dreams died? Did we keep trying to get in, as if we were somehow destined to be there? Or did the shot take us by surprise? Just think, you could be a big part of someone else's life, and not even know it.
That IS news to me!
There are no classes today so that gave me enough reason to slack off a bit yesterday. Thank you, CHED, for that much deserved rest day.
I was channel surfing a bit as I lay down on my parents' bed. I came across a familiar scene: another UAAP men's basketball game. I have not watched a single game this season and thought that maybe that was a good time to start watching. Luckily for me, it was a La Salle game. They were going against Adamson on an overtime match.
I think one reason I have not watched a single game this season is because I found out that majority - if not all - of the good basketball players of La Salle have already left the team. Thinking that the team doesn't stand a chance this year, I decided not to watch and save myself from the embarrassment of having to see the Archers fail every single time (so much for my school spirit).
Fortunately, La Salle won -- by a point! At least I'm safe from being sorry for my beloved school.
Next game was Ateneo against UP. Just seeing the familiar faces of Long, Al-Hussaini, and Salamat made me come up with an instantaneous prediction -- there's no use watching this game, Ateneo's getting a sure win on this. My thoughts were reaffirmed as I saw clips of UP's last game. Convinced of the outcome I pictured in my head, I decided to just switch channels and find a more interesting show.
When I opened my twitter account earlier though, I was surprised to see my friend's message:
UP beats ADMU by 10 points!!!!!Wow, ten points?! I couldn't believe my eyes. UP definitely proved me wrong.
I guess this could be a sign. Maybe it's not too late for La Salle, then? I sure do hope it isn't.
It's out!
America's Best Dance Crew Promo for season four featuring last season's champions is out!
It's amazing! I love Quest Crew!
Disappointed with SYTYCD results show.
It was the 100th episode of So You Think You Can Dance last Thursday.
There were a lot of things to like about the 100th show. Hok and Jamie were back for their Hummingbird and the Flower routine. So was Travis and Heidi with the bench routine. And, of course, season 2's top 8 and Wade Robson performed the Ramalama.
As great as the performances were for this episode, it was not enough to assuage my disappointment for this week's results.
Three of my top 4 were in the bottom this week: Janette, Brandon, and Jason. Good thing Jeanine was safe. Obviously, one of my top two guys is one: Jason. I'm a little sad about this one, but at least it wasn't Brandon who went home.
The biggest shock for me, however, was seeing Janette leave. She's my favorite this season and my bet for the season's winner. Obviously, that wouldn't be happening now. I can't believe she got eliminated (and Evan was safe! He screwed up more, you know.)
Oh well, there's nothing I can do about that. I just hope Jeanine and Brandon would be the Top 2. Please, please...

Chris Brown's apology: What do you think?
A message from Chris Brown via YouTube.
This was posted four days ago (July 20) -- months after the peak of the whole Chris-Brown-beats-Rihanna incident.
I like Chris Brown's music, but what he did to Rihanna was just plain wrong. No matter how much of a pain a person is, he/she do not deserve to be treated so badly. Despite that fact, I don't see why Chris Brown should be kept from doing what he loves to do. He's a performer. I don't think a clean criminal record is part of his job description.
Anyway, I honestly don't know what to make of this. I see two theories for this:
1. He's genuinely sorry about the incident and he wants to start life anew; or
2. He has a new single coming out and needs some publicity
Which one is the truth, I have no idea. Just watch the video and decide for yourself.
I'll take that as a challenge
Fine. I get it.
I may not be the best student you've handled in this field. I know it's not my best subject. But don't you think that the fact that I am one of the few remaining students from more than two-hundred students in our batch who got into the program is enough proof that I am, in some ways, good? Don't you think that being able to pass three grueling modular terms is enough proof that that wasn't just luck? I refuse to accept that it was all just luck. I put in so much time and effort to be where I am now. That was blood, sweat, and tears I invested just to be able to graduate with the same degree program that I entered in this university for.
I am hurt, I do not deny that fact. It was unfair for you to say that.
It may not be the best. It may not be memorable for you, what I've achieved so far. I know that my unfortunate experiences in the modular program is one of the reason you branded us with that. I did work my butt off for this. I really did. Don't ever say that trying to be all sweet and presentable is what got me through all this -- because that wasn't it.
If you have a problem with somebody, tell that person. Don't try to use us, it will never give you the peace of mind that you deserve.
I'm going to show you that these cards you're using to judge me means nothing. You should know by now that these things tell you nothing about a person's future.
I'll prove you wrong, you'll see. Wait 'till I get that diploma and pass that board exam.
So You Think You Can Dance Get Fit
We've watched them dance their hearts away with their routines in So You Think You Can Dance. Now they have an offer that any SYTYCD fans wouldn't say no to.
The So You Think You Can Dance Get Fit Series!
Not only do we get to see six amazing past SYTYCD contestants in your TV screens at our every whim, we also get to stay fit just by joining them groove! haha.
These DVD's are set to come out today. It has two versions: Cardio Funk and Tone and Groove.
Cardio Funk features Lauren with a hip hop routine, Travis with a contemporary routine, and Courtney with a disco routine. Tone and Groove features Dmitri with a cha cha, Twitch with hip hop and Katee with jazz.
This has the makings of a good work out buddy! Specially given the fact that it's Travis Wall in your TV screen telling you to tone up. I definitely wouldn't say no to that! LOL.
So what has become of my dance class hunting?
NOTHING.
I've been searching for a dance class since the summer break and until now, I haven't been very lucky. There are times that I was so close at getting one, but something always happens to ruin it.
Most of the times the problem is the studio location. There are so many good studios in QC, but I live way to far from them to enroll in a class. Another problem is that most dance studios are teaching hip hop and break dancing. I am NOT the gangsta with a funk kind of dancer. I prefer those with more fluid movements. The thing is, it's so hard to find a good jazz or contemporary dance class near Taft or an LRT/MRT station.
I've talked to a lot of dance studios through e-mail but I never found the right studio. Here were some of the studios I've actually talked to:
TEAM VIBE. I think the people here are nice, although we didn't really have a lot of mail exchanges. They were very accommodating. Problem was, they didn't have a studio that's easily accessible from where I'm staying. They offered to teach me, though, if I could find a studio... I don't think I can.
ACTS DANCE STUDIO. These people have so much patience. I emailed them so many times and they replied very nicely every single time! I would not mind enrolling in their studio since it was only an LRT-MRT ride from where I live. The problem was that their schedules are always in conflict with my schedule in school.
VOICES OF ANGELS DEVELOPMENT CENTER. I actually thought this is where I'll be enrolling. They're offering jazz and contemporary classes -- perfect for my needs! Problem was they weren't very good at talking with the people inquiring. They replied the first time I e-mailed asking when I was going to enroll. I replied asking them for more info before I enroll. They never replied again. I emailed them a few more times but to my dismay, still no reply. They really disappointed me. Seriously, why post your email account when you're not even using it to reply to possible students?
Oh well, I guess I'm not meant to dance this term. Next term, maybe?
Sooo frustrated.
SO many things to do this week!
Thesis is due by the end of next week and we're still having some problems with our data. We had to start from scratch last night for a more accurate data. Thankfully, it's a lot faster now than it was the first time.
Other than thesis, I still have a big exam tomorrow for my philosophy class. My end of the term grade depends largely on this test and my prof is known to give killer exams. Apparently, he failed a fourth of his class last term. Please don't let it be me this term... Please, please...
There's also this whole interdependence interview stuff for my PERSEF class. I hate that I have to give so much effort for something like this when it's only a pass or fail subject. Plus, it's not even a part of the grade computation. Why am I so pissed at spending so much of my time on PERSEF? Well here's a quick analogy: PERSEF = modified homeroom.
There's so much I have to focus on. I still need to study for my ACOFIN class. I'm soo behind! I need to squeeze in some reading between all these crazy projects! I have to pass this one. My professor for this class also has a reputation for failing students - one third of the class most of the time. I can not afford to fail this class. FYI: passing mark is at 83%.
And to top it all up, the one thing I was expecting to keep me sane for this term is a no-go after all. I've been trying to look for a dance class since summer break, but there's always something that hinders me from enrolling. I would really love to go back on my jazz training, or take a new class like contemporary. I have not been dancing for so long, it's killing me. REALLY. Problem is, every time I think I've found a class, there's always a few minor details that's stopping me form enrolling. It just adds to my frustration.
*sigh*
ABDC is back on August!
Randy Jackson's America's Best Dance Crew is back for it's fourth season in August!
This time they're opening the competition to even more styles and more amazing dancers.
Every year, a west-based crew gains the title of America's Next Dance Crew. Is it the end of the west-based crews' winning streak this season?
First episode starts August 9!
Watch out for the upcoming promo of season four featuring last season's champions,Quest Crew!
If it Kills Me...
I'm such a big Travis Wall fan, specially after this one. After this, I think Travis is going to be the male version of Mia Michaels. They're both so amazing!
Props to Jeanine and Jason for an amazing work!
Oh, EVA, where do i find you?
Only two weeks till the deadline of our thesis and my thesis mates and I are still struggling with the whole EVA thing. I have no idea how we're going to find those info.
I really hope a miracle happens and we stumble upon any helpful info.
Please, please, please...
Loved HP
Harry Potter plus a cup of grande caramel machiatto is fun, fun fun! haha
Watched the movie with my sis, my brother and his girl. :) The show time was at 11PM and it finished at 1:30 in the morning. haha. That's why we needed the cup of coffee. LOL.
It was really cool seeing MOA closed. I didn't know they had so many grills used to keep intruders out of the place at night. I always thought they leave the mall open. haha.
Ok, now moving on to the movie... I like what they did with it. There were some really good effects. I didn't mind the change in some parts of the plot. ^-^ I also liked that they added humor into the film.
The actors did really well at portraying their roles, as usual. I loved that Tom Felton had a huge part and that he played it really well. I really enjoy watching that actress playing the role of Bellatrix. Don't ask me why, I just love watching her. haha. HereI go again being more fascinated with the villains rather than the leads. LOL. But I did like that love potion part with Rupert Grint.
The weird things was that at one point in the movie, I felt like I was watching Lord of the Rings. LOL. It was that scene with a million Golum's while Harry and Dumbledore was trying to retrieve the Horcrux. When Dumbledore started putting the place on fire, I seriously saw Gandalf and not Dumbledore. LOL.
I only wish they showed the burial of Dumbledore, though. That was the part that made me sad in the book. The death was not as moving for me as the burial was. I hate that I didn't feel anything when he died -- not in the book, and not in the movie. I would really have wanted to have seen the burial. Other than that, the movie's great. :)
It's going to be an HP night!
Tonight I'm watching Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince with my sister, my brother and his girl. Can't wait!
We've got tickets reserved for the last full show. That's 11:30PM to 1:30AM -- two-day Harry Potter marathon. Nice! haha.
The trailer is just really making me feel more and more excited! haha.
What I'm really looking forward to in tonight's movie is the fact that this is the book/movie where Draco (Tom Felton) gets the most exposures! haha. I know, it's so weird of me that more than Harry, Hermione and Ronn I prefer Draco better. haha. I don't know why, but I just think his character is a bit misunderstood. I just symphatize with him. haha. I'm such a weirdo.
Anyway, bottom line is that it's only a few hours till show time and I am so excited!
Finally finished my yearbook requirements! LOL.
I have been procrastinating finishing my yearbook kit for so long. So when I woke up today, I finally decided to get in front of my laptop and finish that much overdue yearbook write-up for myself. haha.
It's funny how I never gave time to finish it when I already had a bunch of my friends write their own descriptions of me. All I needed to do was arrange them in coherent sentences. As always, the procrastinator in me just had to wait until two days till deadline before I actually did what I had to do. Oh, but in my defense, I had so much more important things to do than my yearbook write-up! haha.
Anyway, I'm just glad I finally had time to finish it. Hopefully there are still slots for a pictorial schedule convenient to my oh-so-hectic schedule -- NOT! :D
Obsessing about FAME!
First time I saw the trailer for this one I was watching Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. My first reaction was like "wow, I am so watching that movie!"
Everytime I watch this trailer I get all jittery. Oh, and that part at 1:13 to 1:25 just broke my heart. This is going to be amazing!
Fame is a remake of a 1980 hit movie also entitled Fame. As the release date for this show comes nearer and nearer I can't help but be excited. I even downloaded the original Fame just to get a glimpse of what I would see in September. I haven't watched it though. Maybe later after I finish my long over due yearbook writeup. haha.
I can not wait for this to show. Hopefully it's shown at the same week as it is shown in the US.
What's cool about this show is that Kherington Payne is a part of it. It kind of makes me happy to know that So You Think You Can Dance finalists really do get a lot more gigs after the show. I'm only a tad bit bitter because Kherington now has a good role in a movie while my favorite, Courtney, is only doing back up for movies like Hannah Montana and Camp Rock. Break's my heart that she's not getting the break she deserves.
Anyway... I am so excited to see this show I've been watching different clips in YouTube. Here's a clip that shows the movie's cast.
Just a thought, I think the director is a little young, don't you think?
I was expecting a bit more...
My professor strikes again...
This time he was really intent on making us accept the existence of aliens. He did it very subtly, but I sort of have this nagging feeling that that's what he wanted to happen.
During our class a few days ago, he asked us to search for certain clips regarding alien air crafts being spotted in certain areas. He was like, "watch it for yourself and you be the judge."
While he was saying those things I felt like he really wanted to convince us with the whole alien thing.
Since he was the one who told us about the whole MJ ghost thingy, I figured it might not be too bad to watch this one too. After all, I really was amazed of the CNN clip. So right after that class, a few of my friends and I watched it while waiting for our next class.
When we saw the "alien" video, we were... uhm... for lack of a better term, disappointed. Personally, I think the clip is completely and obviously bogus. Let me just say that I respect my prof's beliefs and fascinations but that was just really... well, fake.
I guess what I'm saying is that I thought he could make a believer out of me. I think it would be sort of cool to be fascinated with such weird things to the point that you will really go an extra mile to prove yourself right. Sadly, he didn't. Instead I was left expecting more from his so-called proof.
The top ten dancers are revealed!
Once again, two more dancers were eliminated in today's episode of So You Think You Can Dance (Season 5).
As sad as it is to see Kaitlyn and Phillip go, I still think the judges made the right decision. Phillip is amazing in his own style, but week in and week out his performances were not at par with the other contestants -- well, except of course when he gets his own style. Kaitlyn, on the other hand, showed really good performances . However, as good as they are, they don't really have much impact on the audience unlike the other performers.
With that said, I think this season's top ten is the best ever. It would be really hard to identify who's going home next. One thing is for sure though, even more hearts are going to break every week as the season gets closer to crowning America's favorite dancer.
For the record, let me just say that I do hope Brandon wins. haha.
No MJ Ttibute for SYTYCD
I've just watched this week's results show for So You Think You Can Dance. Sad to hear that Sony Records didn't clear Michael Jackson's songs for the show. That would've been a really nice show packed with amazing songs, outstanding dancers, and some of the most amazing choreographers.
Oh well, I'm sure there is a reason for such a decision. Too bad though because I think I'll always be stuck with the thought of almost seeing what might have been the best dance episode in any dance show ever.
All it took was MJ's ghost.
My philosophy professor is known for his doubt in the existence of God and for his strong views about the existence of aliens.
I remember that day in our philosophy class when he told us to read the Bible. I thought he was finally going to accept the existence of God. He surprised us, though, with his reason for the whole don't-forget-to-read-the-Bible reminder.
Apparently, he thinks that reading the Bible should be done in a "scholarly" way. He claims that if we do, we will discover that the Bible is an evidence of alien existence and alien encounters. He even told us, in all confidence, that God is actually an alien. The first time I heard that I was like, wth?! I was so not ready for that. But, of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and as my professor, I respect his ideas.
In today's philosophy class, he mentioned the buzz on a certain video in YouTube. It's that clip from Larry King Live with a clip that showed the supposed "ghost" of the late Michael Jackson in his house in Neverland. After telling us about the video he was telling us about how if that video really shows the ghost of Michael Jackson then that would mean that there really is a "soul."
I've checked the video, and indeed it does look a bit convincing. Whether it really is a ghost or not, I don't know. It's just nice to know that at least there is a way to make a believer out of my professor. It's just weird how only a Michael Jackson video can do that to him, when my classmates' speeches on the existence of God won't even persuade him at all.
Oh, and if you're wondering what video I'm talking about, it's this one:
That's what you get for being a goody-two-shoes!
I spent all night yesterday and all my free time today working on my report for my finance class. I had my whole time and effort focused on finishing it because I was so scared that my professor would grill me to death during my report. Much of my time, I devoted to that report. I even ignored doing some of the homework problems just so I can master my report and "impress" my prof.
Wrong move!
For some reason, the class ended up discussing at such a slow pace that I wouldn't really get to report until the next meeting. I really don't mind the wasted effort. What really annoys me is that my prof suddenly decided on checking our homework. And of course, being the annoying goody-goody that I am, I raised my hand when my professor asked us who had an incomplete homework. I didn't raise my hand right away, though. It took me a few minutes of debating with myself - and my seatmate.
That was really embarrassing. I'm not really the type who goes to school without a homework. I always believed that it was better to go to school with a poorly done homework than none at all. I just had to make an exception today so that I can work on my report. The worst part in all this is, my prof realized was in the mood for an all-or-nothing grade today. Crap.
It would have been easier for me to accept that had I not written a single thing on my notes. I was just missing a single item -- just one! I can't believe my records is going to be blemished with an unfavorable mark all because I missed an item.
Looking back, I wish I didn't give too much focus on that bleeping report. It would've saved me a lot of trouble and I would've had a good night sleep last night.
Oh well, I guess nothing really happens the way we expect them to be. Too bad I had to learn that the hard way.
Spotlight on Jeanine Mason
I'm not really much of a Jeanine Mason fan. Actually, I have my bet on Brandon and Jeanette.
After seeing her solo during the 13th episode of So You Think You Can Dance season 5, however, I was amazed at how good she actually is. She performed an amazing solo.
To be honest, I was actually expecting Kayla to do better. Problem is, her choreographing skills do not seem to be at the same level with her dancing. Must be the nerves.
Anyway, back to Jeanine.
So after watching her solo, I got curious and started searching for her in YouTube. The search results showed amazing performances from her in her younger years. Her pieces were really good, I must say. The one piece that really caught my attention, however, is a piece she performed with a relative (I think) for the song "First Goodbye".
I've embedded the same routine below this post. Hopefully you feel inspired the same way I was after seeing this routine. Enjoy!
Blogger: My new home in the web :D
Finally decided on making a "real" blog.
I used to post in Tumblr but that wasn't really very helpful for me. I blame it on that annoying Tumblarity that measures the blogger's "popularity". It was fun in the beginning, but the fact that it was so volatile makes it really a nuisance. In the first few weeks it soars like crazy everytime you post. After that, however, it's just gonna tumble down no matter what you do. I must give props to whoever came up with that idea, though. It really makes sure that Tumblr addicts regularly post in their tumblogs. It makes posting in that site addictive. The end-result is, however, dreadful. Site owners post random pics, quotes and whatever else they could think of just so they can earn a few points in their tumblarity.
I won't be caught in their strategy though. I wan somewhere I can post in my own pace. I don't like the feeling of seeing that Tumblarity meter at the side of my dashboard as it slowly goes down to zero.
So anyway, I will start posting in this page now. I have no idea how many followers I'll be gaining (that is, IF I will be gaining any). I just like the idea of typing down random stuff about my life and thoughts. Hopefully, I make sense most of the time...
