Productive Friday Night FAIL

PinkSEO — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 12:13:00 +0000

I thought it was going to help me be more productive if I move out of the office and/or my bedroom and spend quality time in some cozy coffee shop with my laptop and my Ipod. And I thought I’d get to have faster downloads too, I mean, last time I checked, wifi is relatively faster in coffee shops.

Hence I didn’t mind paying 100 bucks for 60 minutes of internet connection, because I thought they’d at least be worth it. WRONG.

And so I end up with an erratic internet connection inside an abnormally cold coffee shop (I’m brrrr-freeezing!), with my downloads running at 1.2KB/s to 15KB/s, no thanks to Globequest (I mean, yes, Globe Visibility still sucks sometimes, but I haven’t been victimized by another Globe product until now). Whut a slow. :(

On top of all these, I totally lost the mood to have a productive night because the Christmas carols playing in the background is louder than the music that’s plugged into my ears (not that I hate Christmas carols, but I’m not exactly in the mood to hear Rudolf and Jingle Bells right now).

So yeah, aside from for the complementary drink they gave me for I duno, being their only customer tonight?; and the additional Starbucks Planner stickers, my night so far is not going the way I hoped.

And no, don’t get me wrong. Starbucks is one of my favorite places! It just kinda sucks that you have to pay for internet connection that’s crappy anyway when other coffee shops (Bo’s, San Francisco Cafe, etc) provide it as a free service.

Blpht. I don’t intend to make this blog a venue of my complaints. It’s just that.. I need more space for this than my plurk page can offer. Heh. I stop now.

Also, I’m outa here in an hour.

I am Giovanna Wall’s only twitter friend, aside from her husband, Aaron Wall.

I’m so famous, I know right. :P Haha. Kidding. Thanks for adding me, Gio. :)

Now if only Gio would update more.. Ehem.

It’s Beginning to Feel a lot like Christmas, Even at Facebook

Among the few things I noticed when I logged in on my Facebook account the other day were the new actions and red-and-green icons at Superpoke. I mean, okay, since October there was already the Christmas Tree application, and the Christmas countdowns of sorts. But once Superpoke starts showing seasonal icons, it’s quite a universal indication. Christmas is here.

Since the weekend, I’ve been getting gingerbreads, milk and cookies, Christmas trees, eggnogs and stuff. A few people went sleigh-riding with me, and some threw me snowballs.

My Christmas Tree is being filled with cyber-gifts which I can only get to see on the 25th. Can’t wait to see what’s inside those digitally wrapped presents!

Ice Cream fight has also started going around, with Frosty the Snowman Sundae and Christmas Tree Sundae the top picks for the season.

MyRoom has also added Christmassy stuff to put in your room (or outside your room, that’s more like it). So since I didn’t get to experience putting up a Christmas tree this year, I guess I’d have to settle with the cyber one.

It’s the season to be jolly at Facebook. Meanwhile, back in the real world, I haven’t started my Christmas shopping just yet — and I still have to work on being a good girl to catch Santa’s attention. Now that’s a lot of work. Sigh. Three weeks to Christmas. I still have time.

The Facebook Song, Haha!

You know that Facebook’s growing even more in popularity when a College Choir composes a song about it and sings it in four voices. LOL. Sang to the tune of Everly Brothers’ Dream (which I love, by the way), here’s Miami University Cheezies with the ultimate Facebook Song.

Facebook, Facebook, Facebook

An email to you they will send
Say’n that you have a friend request

When I want you to confirm
My friend request and determine
if you want to see me
then you will say Yes!

Facebook, Facebook

Anytime, night or day
Only trouble is..
Facebook, I’m wasting my life away

I need you so, Facebook

Whenever I stalk you
Sorry coz it’s true
On Facebook, Facebook, Facebook..

Facebook, facebook, facebook..
Wont you be my friend..?
