I’ve grown a lot in the past couple of months, and I don’t think this space reflects that.  I’m not sure who it is that I’m becoming, but I need my blog to be as open-ended as my future. So here’s the latest incarnation:  meloogal, no tagline, no accompanying witticisms — Just Me. I hope you like it!

A very cool initiative that I’m helping promote for work today. It’s an easy way to get involved and make a donation to help end hunger, all online.

Here’s the web site we helped create for LoseforGood.com, a charitable program from Weight Watchers benefiting Share our Strength and Action Against Hunger:

You can help a few ways on a few different sites.

Facebook

• Every time you become a fan or “like” the status update on the fan pages for Weight Watchers, Weight Watchers Supermarket Foods, Share our Strength or Action Against Hunger, Weight Watchers will make a $1 donation.

Twitter

• Every time you use the hashtag #loseforgood in a tweet, Weight Watchers will donate a $1.

Blogging

• If you leave a comment here with your thoughts or how you plan on participating, Weight Watchers will donate $1. If you write your own post, Weight Watchers will donate $1. If people comment… you get the idea.

It’s an easy way to get involved while you sit at your desk today at work. From your activity alone, you have the capability to raise more money than you think!

Ideally, I’d like to have all my feeds (my blogs, my reader shared, my twitter feed etc.) aggregated into one page, where my readers can pick and choose what they’d like to subscribe to. I’d like to be able to pre-define sets of feeds with titles like “High Quality”, “Philosophy” and “Everything”. Lately, I’ve been wondering how I should reorganize my weblife to get closer to this ideal, and the perceived lack of services to help me with that has really frustrated me. But then, yesterday, I got a great tip that I think helps closing this gap: FriendFeed. 

FriendFeed is a feed aggregator that also features its own microblogging, the ability to comment on any entry whatsoever, social bookmarking and the ability to subscribe to other people’s aggregated feeds. In other words, it nails the first part of my conception of an ideal service. It won’t be perfect until there is a feature to define “aspects” of one self like the mentioned examples, to prevent people from, a) flooding their subscribers with things they’re not interested in, or b) holding themselves to a standard so high that their activity is suffocated. But for now, it’s the best we have, at least as far as I know of.

Here’s my FriendFeed-page. I recommend the service for almost everybody. Here’s a short introduction video. But it’s best if you just try it, the learning curve is not very steep, and it has some features that might impress you (I don’t want to make a list, go see for yourself). Make sure to check out the beta for a new interface. It’s cleaner than the current one.

There are other services like it, but I think FriendFeed stands out from the crowd. TechCrunch had an article yesterday titled FriendFeed Is In Danger Of Becoming The Coolest App No One Uses, in which the author points to the competition from Twitter in particular, but what he fails to mention is that FriendFeed has a feature that makes it work like a Twitter application. When you write a comment in response to a tweet, you have the option to “also send this comment as an @reply twitter”. So you can both receive and compose tweets from inside of FriendFeed. This makes it seem to me like they’re not competitors, but that FriendFeed uses Twitter like a feature of its own service! How can this fail to be a winning strategy!?

La major partie des gens connaissent le site Deezer, sur lequel nous pouvons écouter toute les musiques que l’on souhaite gratuitement, Mais Deezer à effectué quelques modifications depuis ces derniers jours…

en outre une “nouvelle interface” au niveau du player et du contenant général de la page d’accueil nous avons aussi également vu la disparition de titre à cause des majors, le problème c’est que comme la plupart d’entre nous de grande partie de nos playlists on été affecté De plus, Deezer pense lancer prochainement de la pub audio sur son site, il y a déjà eu des prémisses lors de l’écoute d’un titre au tout début,Personnellement je ne pourrais pas le supporter…

C’est donc pour cela que j’ai commencé à recréer mes playlists sur Jiwa. ce dernier fonctionne comme Deezer et c’est également un site français. Le design est plus épuré et je trouve que la navigation est plus aisé, surtout le chargement des musiques… De plus le côté communautaire est plus développé sur Jiwa (même si Deezer a prévu prochainement de faire grandement évoluer son aspect réseau social !). Pour le moment pas de restriction sur Jiwa, pas de pub audio en vue… Au niveau des titres proposés en juin 2008 il y avait environ 980 000 morceaux contre 1,5 million sur deezer.

Je remercie K20 pour cette article, ou j’ai modifié quelques données comme le nombre de titres disponible sur les 2 plateformes

Só pra reviver…mto tempo sem postar

Some years ago i was really active in this sport and i think i was active for like 3-4 years in the aggressive inline skating enviroment. I started out skating with 2 of my friends and more followed later on, i was so fortunate back then that we had a skate park right next to where i lived, so we went from being sucky to doing both vert, street, freestyle etc etc and some of us even ended up being sponsored by a firm from the US.

So after i stopped i always got that urge to skate again at times and this time i finally decided to buy some skates and give it a try, i really wanted to buy a pair of new ones and go crazy monkey and spent alot of money on it, but i decided to buy some “used” from the net, basically they arent used more than once and its an old model from when i was skating, so pretty retro.

So this is the pair im gonna buy first, its Roces 5th Element, check em out!

And if i still enjoy it as much as i did before, i have the option of 2 different pairs, want em both tbh but the black pair is a brand new pair that just launced.

Since I came back to our office — which is now under new management and now resembles a Twilight Zone — it has become part of my normal routine to check my favorite blog the moment I get in. As I was staring at this blog, I was astonished to figure out this thingy on the sidebar about something I promised this blogger to do.

Putah ang hirap magpanggap.

Sabi ko nga ilang linggo nang nakaraan, iboboto ko dapat si Maldito sa paligsahan na ito ng http://kwentongbarbero.com. Ngayon ko lang naalala. Bilang pagtupad sa pinangako ko, ngayon ay maghahalal ako ng tatlong blogs (anong Tagalog nito?) na sa aking pananaw ay dapat manalo sa paligsahan na iyan.

1. Maldito – Nagmulat sa akin na maari palang maging libangan ang pagsasaliksik sa internet (syet di ko alam ang Tagalog nito) lalo na kung wala ka namang ginagawa buong araw.

2. Chiksilog – Dahil ayaw ni Maldito manalo si Inday, tulungan na kita, kaibigan. Ihahalal ko si — Ziena Xena Xienna XG na nga lang. Subalit kung susuriin, lubha rin namang nakakatawa ang mga nilathala ng dilag na ito.

3. Jessica Zafra – Sapagkat magmula noong nasa unibersidad palang ako ay tagahanga na ako nito. At dahil hindi naman ito banta kay Maldito kasi hindi naman ito kasama sa nakakaunang sampu (Top Ten?) sa listahan.

Sana ay nakatupad na ako sa pinangako ko. Nawa’y manalo ka dito, kaibigan, nang makabili ka ng maraming kahoy para sa bahay mo sa Iloilo.

Gud laaakkk!!!

Hello, fellow bloggers. Tiffany with Blog/Life Balance here, writing my first, quick post here to encourage you to stop what you’re doing (which is reading this blog) and start living a little.

As a fellow blogging addict, I created this place as a forum for other bloggers to share their ideas about finding blog/life balance.

Want to share your ideas on how to balance your life and your blog? E-mail me or leave a comment with your post idea and you can join the conversation along with fearless others of you out there – so we can regain the balance in our lives by learning how to balance the demands of being a blogger against the demands of being a twenty- or forty- or whatever-something!

Don’t unplug your blog, or junk your computer. Not yet. With insight and brevity, let’s work together to help each other take one small step in combating the information overload epidemic.

Until next time (whenever that may be),

Tiffany – Your Blog/Life Balance Coach

Masaya raw ang mag-internet buong araw. Namamangha nga ako sa pamangkin ko na halos di na natutulog at dun na inaabutan ng pamamaho sa harap ng computer. Di ba parang waste of time naman ang magbrowse nang magbrowse sa net lalo na kung wala ka naman hinahanap? Nakakapagod din yata magbasa ng kung anu-ano lalo na kung wala ka namang interest sa mga bagay na binabasa mo. Parang nagbabasa ka ng readings nung college na after 3 times mo na binasa e iniisip mo pa rin kung English ba o German (Deutsch) yung binasa mo. 

Until one time I got so bored in the office at di na rin ako maaliw ng pag-iisip nang kung anong gagawin ko pag nanalo ako sa lotto, naisipan kong magtingin-tingin ng blogs. Me mga iba kong binasa pero sobrang coño kaya di ako maka-relate. Until I came across this blog (http://thegreatmaldito.wordpress.com) at nun ko narealize na nagkalat pala ang mga buang na katulad ko sa net. Masaya nga pala. Kasi marami talagang KSP at mga tsismoso’t tsismosa sa mundong ito na mahilig mag-usisa sa buhay nang me buhay, tulad ko. 

Actually meron din akong blog sa friendster pero di ko naman siya dinevelop ever. Kasi dun nakabandera ang pangalan ko. Ayoko namang biglang maging concerned ang mga kakilala ko at isipin nila na kailangan ko ng immediate help – psychiatric help. Minsan talaga, me mga pinapangalagaan ka na estado sa buhay na hindi angkop sa pagluluka-lukahan mo sa mga nilalathala mo sa net.

Sometimes you need to be anonymous. Lalo na kung kabalbalan yung ginagawa mo. Sa totoo lang, masaya ring mabuhay sa isang virtual world na hindi kayo magkakakilala ng mga kausap mo. Parang escape from reality. Yung friendster kasi ikaw din un. Nakakasawa rin lalo na pag nalalaman mo na naungusan ka na ng milya-milya ng mga kasabayan mo dahil kung saan-saan na sila nakarating at kung sinu-sino na nakasalamuha nila mula sa mga larawan na inilalathala nila.

Pag gumawa ka nang sarili mong blog, ikaw ang bida – kesehodang kilala ka nila o hindi. At dahil talagang KSP at inggitera rin ako, eto sinubukan ko rin. At least dito malaya akong makapaghahayag. Lalo na nang mga karanasan at saloobin na hindi ko magawang maibahagi sa totoong buhay. O mga karanasan na pag binabalikan mo ay nagkakaroon ng ibang anggulo.  

Lyk nung ibinagsak ko ang comprehensive exam, nagkakaroon na rin ako nang iba’t ibang pananaw dito:

Anger: Mga hayup silang nagcheck ng paper ko. Susunugin ko ang department, mga tangena nila! Mga walang awa! Akala mo kung sino sila. Di rin naman sila magaling! Mga @#^&*(@#$@!!!

Denial: Haler ano ba naman kasi yun? Paano ko naman masasagutan nang maayos yung mga tanong e di ko naman napag-aralan ever. Obsolete na yung napag-aralan ko sa isang professor, yung isa naman walang katuturan. Yung teacher kong magaling magturo pinatalsik naman sa university. Sa lawak ba naman nung discipline, ineexpect ba nila ako na mag-aral ng panibago after five years?

Acceptance: Wala naman talaga akong time para magreview nang husto nun. Asa pa talaga akong makakapasa ako dun. Siguro di ko talaga deserve maconfer yung degree. Buti naman nalaman ko rin after five years huhuhu. 

Kabalbalan: Malas kasi ako sa Year of the Rat. Kumupas na rin kaya yung anting-anting ko sa mga exam-exam?

Kaya ayun, pag naiisip ko ngayon yung binagsak ko na kompre, naaliw na lang ako. Syet! At least nailabas ko na di ko brinodkas sa mga kilala ko na bumagsak ako. At least ngayon pag me nakita akong ibang tao na nakatitig sa kin, di ako maprapraning na baka alam nya na bumagsak ako. Di ba ang saya?

According to the American Heritage Dictionary, Idiosyncrasy (n) means “a structural or behavioral characteristic peculiar to an individual or group.” In other words, it is a summation of one’s personality. Ano’ng relevance nito sa blog ko? Wala lang. Gusto ko lang yung sound. Walang mangengelam. Blog ko to.

According to my own dictionary, Idiotsyncrasy means a set of characteristics that is peculiar to me. Maybe not too peculiar. Baka marami namang katulad ko na karapat-dapat din na matawag na idiot.

Ok lang. Di naman talaga ako magaling sa lahat ng bagay (sa konti lang hehehe). Saka marami naman kami. Nagkalat kami sa showbiz, sa government, lalo na sa Congress (House and Senate). Ok lang naman maging idiot, basta harmless. Masama yung nakakaapekto sa ibang tao, di ba? Like pag gumagawa ng batas or nag-uubos ng taxpayers’ money.

Di nga. When was the first time na naghinala ako na baka nga idiot nga ako? Siguro yung first time di ko na maalala. Pero yung experience ko with Prof. Mehtae nung college, vivid pa sa isipan ko. Hanggang ngayon pinagsisihan ko pa rin ang pagpapa-enlist (enroll) sa subject nya. Naalala ko pa nung nilait-lait ko pa yung roomeyt-frend ko nun…

Ako: U know wat roomeyt-frend para kang tanga sleeping outside the building just to enlist for that subject.
Roomeyt-frend:  Ok lang basta di ko makuha si Prof. Mehtae kasi balita ko nag-dadarts lang ng grade un.
Ako: Hay naker! Getching ko na un. Sa dami ba naman ng students, di naman siguro ako ganun kamalas para macinco, anoh?

Oh well…

Ang di ko inaakala na mangyayari sa akin ay nangyari din. Naobtain ko ang aking one and only, nagmumurang CINCO sa tanang buhay-student ko. Sabi pa ng orgy-mate ko letter C daw kasi yung apelyido ko so nagwawarm-up pa lang un magdarts kaya baka ni hindi pa tumatama sa dartboard.

Na-confirm ko naman na idiot nga ako nang after a sem ay nakausap ko ang aking ultra-mega-super-talino klasmeyt sa subject na un…

Ako: Oist ultra-mega-super-talino klasmeyt, ano nakuha mo na grade ke Prof. Mehtae? Ako kasi naka-cinco eh. (Proud pa!)
Alien klasmeyt: Hay naker ako rin noh! Di talaga ako pumayag. I made sugod to him and made complain talaga. Ayun pinalitan nya yung grade ko from cinco to uno.
Ako:Ha???????

Oh well…That changed my life forever. Kaya ngayon eto, I’m stuck where I am now. Nagtratrabaho na sana ako sa one of the biggest corporations in the country, gaya ni roomeyt-frend. Pero hindi. For the past 8 years isa pa rin akong hamak na researcher, writer, editor, drafter, summarizer, encoder, at kung anu-ano pang errr. Yun lang at least with my present job, afford ko maging blog-errr hehehe.
