ON FRIENDTEST AND FRIENDSTER AND FRIENDS


just as i thought.


i missed two days already! hmph.
i couldn't possibly blog everyday.

forgive me, but i think it's understandable right?
i think it's a mortal sin to neglect studies, and spend time on leisure stuff too much. right?
hmmm... but then again, i think i'd go crazy if i didn't have SOME leisure right?
oh well. i think i'll have to strike a balance between a little bit of this, a little bit of that.
but right now, i'm feeling strangely fine, so i better get on bloggin'! :P

hmmm... what have i been busy doing the past two blogless days.
apparently, my disastrous streak of bad luck has worn out the last time i left singapore, and thankfully, it hasn't come back to haunt me just yet.
i refuse to even think about it! things are fine right now, so what's the point in thinking otherwise, right?


anyway, as i was saying (why is it SOOO damn easy to digress when making a blog?),
my past two blogless days turned out to be just fine.

i've been busy with my, ahem, friendtest, and of course, friendster (not that it's something new).


hmmm... the friendtest was fun making! i did it yesterday and it was simply amusing to create those
interesting questions! hmmm... lemme see.. i think i'll post them here for the fun of it. hehehehe.
(i love the feeling of having my own blog where i could write ANYTHING!=P)

there. hehehe. that's also a free answer key too. ;P

i did that test yesterday afternoon, and boy was it fun.
i posted the site for the quiz too, http://moonstruck86.friendtest.com on two visible locations,
friendster bulletin board, and msn messenger (i placed it in my msn name, visible to my contacts).

nice. immediately after, kerwin took it, then even my indian friend prashant (or psycho, as he says..i just hope the taglish didn't confuse him much..), and later brian (dunno if it's brian rito my muscular pinoy senior, or brian carpio of my friendster), romel, my lil bro jack (jacqute daw. :P) and later several other friends like korinna a.k.a "ako", wayne a.k.a. "a", anghe, genie gene gica, julienne algabre, kaye aranetats and others (including mysterious ones like bentot and pakno!)! hmmm... lemme post the results as of tonight.

hmmm.. i thought my closest buddies would get the highest (as i was generous with the marks too!) but it turns out that my test was too tricky. or perhaps required them to know the joseph sorongon NOW, if you know what i mean.

oh well. the test isn't really a test of "how well a person knows me", as the title implies.
but it sure made me think about friends and all.
those who scored higher than i thought... those who scored lower than i thought... those who even bothered to take the quiz! thanks! thanks a whole lot! loads and loads of thanks!

i think i liked making it so much that i'm thinking bout making another one! hahaha!

hmmm... i miss my friends! hehehehe.
really. =)

it's fascinating how simple things like this friendtest brightened my day by as much as 10,000 light bulbs!
i guess that's how friendster works too, right? the JOY of writing a testimonial and receiving one!
the THRILL of seeing new photos of long-lost childhood friends (and other cuties too that are part of your personal network..;p)!
the sheer FUN of reading people's profiles...how they describe themselves, their interests (which sometimes can be very revealing), and how others see them. :)

but oh, you probably know that already.

just in case you wanna search me through friendster, my email address is moonstruck_josh@hotmail.com,
and oh yeah, i'm Joseph Sorongon (if you're using the full name search).

hmmm... i guess this is the first blog that revealed my name.
then again, i don't plan to make this blog TOO public, if you know what i mean.

this one's for myself, and for my friends...all of them (those willing)! all of YOU, who i sorely miss!

it's a pity i'm away from many of my friends, but it's okay.
i meet new friends here in singapore anyway, and everything's all good!
besides, i constantly search for ways to connect:
through chikka, through m1 and globe, through yahoo messenger, through msn messenger, through email,
through friendster, and now through friendtest.


needless to say, friends are among my favorite people in the world. ;)
