feeling bipolar

*listening to jam sessions (which has Up Dharma Down as their guest)*

as i still continue to figure out how to cross-post between multiply and wordpress, i think about what things are what they are, thinking complicated and feeling the stress and tiring opportunity.

i feel happy about how things went, watching sporting events and relaxing and chilling.

Looking forward to this event. (sana may pass… wishing…)

i wnet through some patches of cloud of dust. i am not perfect, so i need to work on being a better person.

sayang lang at di ako naka-alis kagabi. lots of good gimik oppotunities.

it sucks being such an idiot regarding love.

the Greenwich Eat-All You Can

Before I watched the UE – Ateneo game, I took the opportunity to partake of this promotion by Greenwich in all of their branches (i ate at my hometown branch, since it is near my home).

for 149, you can have as much pizza (whether it would be pepperoni or hawaiian) and drinks as you can.

being a pizza lover, i grabbed the chance, since the offer only comes between 11am-2pm.

i only mustered 12 pieces and 3 cups of rootbeer, kasi busog na ako.

so there. take advantage. pizza slice is of the solo variety.

if you want to be a good blogger…..

was doing my usual blogchecking… found this.

post taken from this site: http://www.43folders.com/2008/08/19/good-blogs

1. Good blogs have a voice. Who wrote this? What is their name? What can I figure out about who they are that they have never overtly told me? What’s their personality like and what do they have to contribute — even when it’s “just” curation. What tics and foibles fascinate make me about this blog and the person who makes it? Most importantly: what obsesses this person?

2. Good blogs reflect focused obsessions. People start real blogs because they think about something a lot. Maybe even five things. But, their brain so overflows with curiosity about a family of topics that they can’t stop reading and writing about it. They make and consume smart forebrain porn. So: where do this person’s obsessions take them?

3. Good blogs are the product of “Attention times Interest.” A blog shows me where someone’s attention tends to go. Then, on some level, they encourage me to follow the evolution of their interest through a day or a year. There’s a story here. Ethical “via” links make it easy for me to follow their specific trail of attention, then join them for a walk made out of words.

4. Good blog posts are made of paragraphs. Blog posts are written, not defecated. They show some level of craft, thinking, and continuity beyond the word count mandated by the Owner of Your Plantation. If a blog has fixed limits on post minimums and maximums? It’s not a blog: it’s a website that hires writers. Which is fine. But, it’s not really a blog.

5. Good “non-post” blogs have style and curation. Some of the best blogs use unusual formats, employ only photos and video, or utilize the list format to artistic effect. I regret there are not more blogs that see format as the container for creativity — rather than an excuse to write less or link without context more.

6. Good blogs are weird. Blogs make fart noises and occasionally vex readers with the degree to which the blogger’s obsession will inevitably diverge from the reader’s. If this isn’t happening every few weeks, the blogger is either bored, half-assing, or taking new medication.

7. Good blogs make you want to start your own blog. At some point, everyone wants to kill the Buddha and make their own obsessions the focus. This is good. It means you care.

8. Good blogs try. I’ve come to believe that creative life in the first-world comes down to those who try just a little bit harder. Then, there’s the other 98%. They’re still eating the free continental breakfast over at FriendFeed. A good blog is written by a blogger who thinks longer, works harder, and obsesses more. Ultimately, a good blogger tries. That’s why “good” is getting rare.

9. Good blogs know when to break their own rules. Duh. I made a list, didn’t I? Yes. I did. Big fan.
