Blog Shorts

In the thick of the sleepless nights and never-ending thesis writing, the tired zombie stops and checks if all sanity is indeed lost.

Link history gone ... for-evah!

Blogging on Friendster

Got a link from a good friend, Chris Lagman. He put up a blog via Friendster ('di ko na mahanap yung link).

The Friendster phenomenon picked up on the blogging phenomenon!

Blogging keeps getting bigger... and so does my good friend.

Piiiiisssss, bratha! ;-)

Twilight zone job application

I'm on the last stretch of my masters degree. I've been _thinking_ about sending out application letters to telcos and international organizations to explore employment.

And then I receive this in my Inbox:

Initial thoughts:

What the...?! What is this, a one year old application that was delivered just yesterday?
What the...?! Who is sending out job applications in my behalf?! Is my wife *that* eager for me to get a job?
What the...?! Did somebody hack into my online job application account?
What the...?! Hindi pa ako guma-graduate, ni-re-recruit na ako?! (grin)
What the...?! Ano ito, bagong service ng Jobstreet.com?! Iisipin mo pa lang, mag-aaply na siya para sa iyo?!

(enter Twilight zone theme....) Too noo noo noo, Noo noo noo noo, Noo noo noo noo..... (fade out ...)

Link history gone ... for-evah!

My Referring Web Pages list by truefresco.org seems to have reset. (See bottom of right sidebar). Sayang. Naka-document pa naman dun kung gaano ka raming links ang nakukuha ko from various places on the web and blogosphere.

My biggest referrers are Google, Philippine Blog Awards (arnd 800+ hits), PinoyTechScene, Bizdrivenlife.net, Airwind ... sino pa ba .... ?

Sayang, wala na yung mga ebidensya ko... I like watching those link stats. Now it's back to zero.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now it's back to thesis writing ....
