Formspring

One of the concerns I’ve had is that while there’s a lot of stuff to talk about, most are already “addressable” in “micro-blogging” format (i.e. status updates, etc.) Only a few issues really get to “inspire” me to go in-depth recently.

I’ve been thinking if there was a sort of “brainless” way to put fairly interesting content that could entertain the readers. And noticed a few friends regularly posting answers to questions from a service called “Formspring.” I thought maybe I could use the service to serve as some catalyst whenever there’s nothing particularly interesting to talk about.

The concern now was how to present it that it wouldn’t end up being “blog-spamming.” Given the rate of “serious” posts I get to do recently, the last thing I want is for the blog to end up becoming a form-spring link site.

So here’s what I decided, every week, I’ll do one “formspring post” – and it’ll contain at least 5-10 questions 1 Doesn’t matter if they’re mundane or deep I personally think will get a kick out of answering. I’ll even take some questions from friend’s accounts which I want to answer myself. Ultimately, It’ll be like one of those survey/memes I used to do in the past once in a while, but hopefully the content would be more interesting, as Formspring questions tend to be more targeted.

On self-awareness

So I took this “personality test” and got an “ideal” result (else, why would I be posting it right? hahahaha). Here’s what the test claims to do:

Self-awareness is vital for creating a successful life and business. Our easy Tick Test will help you discover what makes you tick.

How?

A picture of “the real you” will emerge, as your intro-extroversion results are divided into three parts — thinking, social, and emotional. These are linked to your IQ factor. In no time at all you’ll get a concise and helpful portrait of yourself.

And since I’m bored and have got nothing better to do at the moment, I thought I’d just do a commentary on the whole thing hahahaha. A self-reflecting commentary if you will. Could even be one of those “manual to my life” type of posts. Read More

2009 roundup and 2010 resolutions

Got this from Leslie

But before that, here is my 2010 plan:

All in all, I don’t think I want 2010 to be an “adventurous” year, if you know what I mean. Because any adventure costs [money]… and I think I’ve got enough stuff from 2009 to keep me busy (e.g. cycling, recording stuff, etc.) I’d like to be able to save more than I spend – especially that the world economy won’t seem to improve anytime soon.

Also, a bit of trivia, the database ID of this entry is 1000 – just thought that was kinda cool. Read More

Hanggang Ngayon

Here’s another meme… ke Katz naman ngayon nanggaling – (fezbookz din)

Instructions:

Put your player on shuffle and hit the ‘Next’ button to get your answer to every question. You must indicate the title and artist, no matter how far-fetched it sounds. Tag people who might be interested in doing this same thing. No cheating.

Before I begin, share ko lang:

Buti nalang I started rating my iTunes’ library contents. I have like 26,583 songs as of this posting; and earlier in the year, I lost all my playlists because of a corrupted database. Thanks to the car, medyo na-OC ako to have somewhat select songs while driving.

I actually just finished making the semi-shortlist for my 60GB iPod (all songs rated with 1 star or higher) 2 days ago. Next would be the shorter shortlist for my iPod Touch (all songs rated with more than 3 stars).

What I did was make a smart playlist that selects all rated musical content (so no audiobooks, podcasts, stand-up comedy CDs, etc) and randomize them… then used those titles for the meme. Read More

The usual, disclaimer: I won’t tag anyone (the buck stops here because I’m too tamad to “tag”) – I do enjoy answering these those so feel free to tag me with other stuff hahahaha.

And of course, anyone else is free to “tag themselves” from this post hahahaha Read More
