on mosquitoes and blogs…

Came across a blog entry on what to do with mosquito bites..come to think of it, it was useless to me as I can’t recall the last time I had one… “Hah! You’re lying!” U must’ve thought that, being one that lives in a tropical country where the sun & the rain is abundant its a breeding heaven for mosquitoes. I think I owed the uselessness of that entry on the fact that I live on the 12th floor – apparently mosquitoes don’t exist in anyplace higher than fourth or fifth floor level, maybe they just can’t stand the lack of oxygen, or maybe they’re just too lazy. I mean why bother when the are so many ppl to feed from at the ground level. Anyway, I think I am a bit nuts trying to figure out what’s going on in a bloodsucking insect’s brain.

So, I was browsing blogs, and figure out one instantenous & sure way to make your blog popular – by putting up lots of picture, or more specifically, pictures of yourself. In another word, cam-whoring. Well, it doesn’t really matter whether you’re pretty or you look like some weird-looking-suspiciously-a-transexual or just plain-looking-to-the point-of-no-one-will-ever-remember-your-face kind of girl. Of course it would help if you look like Keira Knightley, but the point here is being popular, not likeable. So therefore, you can look like Missy Elliot & your blog will still be popular. Eventually. If you put enough pictures, have patience, and try to post entries that are…icky, flirtatous, fake, and stupid. You’ll be scandalous/infamous/ill-famed, which all have a bit of ‘fame’ or ‘talked-about’ meaning in them. Which is the best you can get if you are unable to achieve fame in a normal way.

By the way, I’m not vain enough to camwhore, nor do I have the time & commitment for it. Although I did have the resources (bought myself a new digicam recently). Yeah, it need commitment. And I’m a commitment-freak with a capital ‘F’ (or it should be a capital ‘C’??). Anyway, I’m also lazy…OK, I confess the main reason is I’m not photogenic (note that I use the word ‘photogenic’, cos I DO look good in real life, maybe the camera has some problem with me). And I don’t want to be popular that way. So there goes my chance to be popular blogger.

downloading fuss

Nothing’s more annoying than realising the movie/episode of a drama you finally managed to download after getting your desktop to work like cheap labour slave non-stop for weeks is in Spanish, or German, or whatever language that is alien to you. Worse, it doesn’t have any English subtitle. Worser still, if u’re keeping that particular movie/eps for a weekend thing, getting ready with the snacks & drinks in front of the desktop, anticipating a nice movie hour, and then u realised u can’t make anything out of the movie.

I was so pissed off when it happens to me last weekend I went out for shopping & end up spending quite an amout of money.

I think alien-speaking-movie-without-understandable-subtitle is also one big conspiracy inspired by the big bosses of the shopping business. To lure poor helpless soul like me into spending my money. They’re good, they got me.

friendsterization

Got a mail from Friendster reminding me that today’s is Liz’s birthday. And I was like: Liz? which Liz? wait..I don’t even know a Liz.

So, that’s friendsterization for you – adding people you barely know, or better still, don’t know at all, on your friend’s list. I fall victim into the make-believe fact that the number of ppl u have in ur Friendster friend’s list is proportionate to ur sociability or popularity level.

Unwilling to be a shallow person, I decided to do a spring cleaning of my Friendster friend’s list, but that got me into thinking whether I should clean up my phone contacts as well. But then things got complicated, as in I’m unable to determine the expiry date of the contacts in my list. I mean, if u didn’t use a number for a year, is it okay to delete it? Cos you see, unlike Friendster, I don’t simply add the numbers of people I don’t know into my phone. So its either my kindergarden school friend or my second cousin’s cousin. Which both I didn’t use for several years (maybe never even been used) but may be useful somewhere in the future, at least I thought it was important enough to add it into my phone book at the first place…

I know it’s a bit way off track, but at that moment I felt like God, trying to decide who’ll live.. Haha… However, it also make me feel that it’s cruel to just simply kill off ppl, I mean delete the contacts. So I decided to let everyone live. Judgement day will come when heaven’s too crowded. Haha. (Please pardon my insanity, its the power-craving me talking).

what is it with short surnames?

OK, the Wayn website didnt let me register because of my surname which they think is too short to be true…Guess what, a box pop out stating “we cannot proceed, surname must have at least 5 characters”….And THAT, is AFTER i meticulously fill in the boxes with my details & correcting several other mistakes whereby when I press ‘enter’ other box will pop out stating something like ‘ we cannot proeed, city/town cannot be empty’…

Why couldn’t they just list down all the mistakes & can/can’ts in the first box so that I dun have to reach the final box to know that this is the umpteen mistakes I’ve made & maybe I still got some which I wont know before I press ‘enter’. For that matter, what the heck do the Wayn operator have against people with 4-letters-surname? So what if someone decided to name their child with a 2-letter-name & that eventually will become someone’s surname if that person with the 2-letter-name decided to have child later on?? Heck, for all I care, people can name their child with one lettered name (& that’s not impossible in oour era where people who name their child with names like tiger, woods, cheese, etc etc).

So now I’m being discriminated because I have surname that is too short?

Ok, so what’s with all this uproar over such a little thing, one can simply create a surname for thee web you say. I know that, but you cannot just simply come up with a surname for yourself in a second. Its not like you can simply add an ’s’ or any letter at the end of ur surname to make it longer – well I actually tought of that but it seems weird, & stupid, not to mention belittling my father & my ancestors…on the other hand, u cannot just simply change ur surname just because the web doesnt let u use ur real surname…Besides, that’s the point they hv the ’surname cant be too short’ regulation – so that ppl can’t cheat on their names…or it wasn’t? That the purpose was just to piss me off?

So, i thought the better of it & didn’t proceed to register. Stupid website. I will always use my real & only surname, thank you.
